I was saving the netflixed DVD of Full Moon for later and heard the OP while checking the episodes. Surprise, surprise, I am sure I heard it somewhere... Like in one of the classical sweepers at JAR! I always thought that it was a Judy & Mari number, but ANN says …

Crunchy acquires what rights?
Get this from ANN:
Kun Gao, CEO of the Crunchyroll media-distribution website, has announced on this week's ANNCast podcast episode that his company licensed the North American DVD rights to Makoto Shinkai's 5 Centimeters Per Second film.
That's is going to delight Robert and other luddites who hate the digital …

When Hitoha says "語りたい" ("I want to relate") about the Gachi Rangers, she is like an anime blogger, isn't she? That burning desire? Is this why we exist?
Also in the first segment, Haruka Tomatsu makes a great impression of Mamiko Noto, with the "anooooou". I kid …
read moreKampfer's continuation
The ANN announcement (h/t Andy James) notes that the light novels are over after 12 volumes. I suppose that's good news for the anime storyline. The problem for me is how I heard somewhere on the Internet that the identify of Kaede Sakura and the nature of Moderators were …

Bandai licenses good stuff
According to John, Bandai licensed Sorakake (which has just opened at Ani-nouto a few days ago — talk about coincidences). This makes me very happy. Also, it may be a good opportunity to buy a Blu-ray player at last. And a decent TV (I heard OLED was the way to go …
read moreFUNi licenses... not only shit
According to John, Funimation announced a bunch of new licenses at Otakon, and surprisingly, there are a few that I could possibly watch. SW2 and Ookami-san are by no means masterpieces, but they can be watched if nothing else is available (there's also Campanella of which I know nothing personally …
