9. Idolm@ster TV 01

   As far as the anime is concerned, nothing unexpected has transpired, especially since it was a gimmick introductory episode. If you are a fan of the girls, you are just happy to see Haruka riding her bicycle. If you are not a fan, plese read Aroduc's account and be content …

    ANN (via):

    An ad for the Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu light novels has announced that another anime adaptation is in the works. The new anime will adapt the story leading up to the final arc of the series.

11. CKS on the dark side of IS

    His take is basically that watchers like me have to be in certain denial:

    If I take IS's background seriously I have to conclude that the whole 'IS military use is prohibited' thing is propaganda, and not very convincing propaganda at that. IS are armed, IS pilots are taught weapons …

12. Wave of R1 licensing

    This is not a compendium of announcements from the AX wave, but only what I found noteworthy.

    Funimation continues to fight the "FUNi only licenses garbage" folk wisdom with not one, but two watchable shows: Asobi ni Ikuyo (AsoIku) and B Gata H Kei (GataKei). They renamed Asobi ni Ikuyo …

13. Infinite Stratos begins

    Now that I'm done with Railgun, I can watch Infinite Stratos, which also comes with a high load of expecations -- only the positive kind. I stashed quite a number of links to various worthy reflections, and they all point in one direction: I'm going to love this show.

    

    I was …

14. Mike on IS

    One of the saved links was Mike's confession to Charl(otte), which I noticed only because I knew him from back at #animeblogger, and he always was leaning to artsy anime. He's the biggest fanboy of Tatami Galaxy and the like. If IS can find a way to the heart …

15. Railgun ends

    After dragging it out for a two months, I finally put a stake through this affair. So, was the horror realized? No, it wasn't. Railgun is nowhere as disturbing as original Nanoha and all the apprehension was for nothing. There wasn't anything in it for me to like, but it's …

16. Nichijou 11 and the old man

    

    When I watched Nichijou 11, the old man sequence seemed too close to home, with me being a honorary member of geriatric animebloggers of Meenuvia and all. What if my wife dies before me? Nobody is going to visit my chat, too.

    I remembered glancing over the article at 2DT …

17. Deceptive Advertising

    ANN ran Funi's banner today with the cast of Manabi Straight advertising... some stupid AnimeNation thing. What a cruel world.

    

    Yes, I clicked. Thought maybe Funimation quietly licensed it.

    P.S. Speaking of AnimeNation, John wrote: "The first trailer for next month’s iDOLM@STER anime television series has appeared …

18. Namco-Pro-sama

    Here's a screencap from IM@S TV PV3:

    

    I remember how hearing "Pete-san" felt a little unsettling, back in the day. Not so much now, but in this instance we have "-sama" applied to a corporation. Good grief.
