No I am not talking about Yotsuba&! although thats good too.
Rather I’ve been watching a new anime series called “Lucky Star” thats getting fansubbed at the moment (And its not licensed outside of Japan yet so you can still get it at animesuki and most other bittorrent sites).
Its quite a bit like azumanga although not entirely, but if you liked that it’s worth a watch.
After watching 2 eps of Lucky Star, I’d have to give it a B- at best. It just doesn’t have the same charm as Azumanga (Sasaki-chan~!) even though it has a similar episode layout.
As for other anime worth watching, here’s my watch list:
Heroic Age
One Piece
Naruto Shippuuden
Death Note
Code Geass
Darker Than Black
Manabi Strait
DGray Man
Bleach
Murder Princess
History’s Strongest Disciple Kenichi
Nodame Cantabile
Angel Heart
Nana
Ichigo Mashimaro (this one is very Azumanga-ish!)
Hayate no Gotoku!
Sumomo mo Momo mo
Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge
Kekkaishi
Busou Renkin
Also, as far as American TV goes, I only keep up with:
Google Earth says it’s 2 hours drive, but that’s probably only if you travel in space above those two locations. Or if you drive at 3am and speed like a delorean trying to get those jumping jigga-watts and travel back in time to 2 hours ago. Or take the 5 freeway.
It turns out it doesn’t matter though since I mixed up some dates.
I’ll be going to calfornia next month for about 2 weeks and thought I might as well go while something interesting is going on, although now I’m going to figure out if I’d rather go while comic con or Anime Expo is on, hmm.
Edit:
The later episodes of lucky star are probally better than the earlier, they’re a lot of anime satire.
Also, anyone else been watching Yu Gi Oh abridged (Better than it sounds), its really funny.
That hotel is on the other side of the bay, so it’s a pretty far walking distance. I’m betting that most hotels that are really close are already booked, but keep looking. Hell, I might even be in a position to lend you a couch by then since I’m 98% sure I’m going as well. I just don’t know if I’ll have my living conditions worked out by July 25th. Everything is up in the air, including me.
Look for a hotel near 111 W Harbor Dr San Diego, CA. The convention center is south-east of that address if you look on google maps/earth.
2 episodes into Rocket Girls and I’m hooked. This anime is amazing in how easily it makes you think very improbable things could actually take place. Or I’m a huge geek.
Speaking of which, did you know that Bill Nye has a new(ish) show called The Eyes of Nye? It rivals Nova - scienceNOW in geekish sciency factorism, but it’s freakin’ Bill Nye!
Also I hear a lot of people talk about Bill Nye, I’ve never saw his show though but I did watch the intro to his old programme on youtube and that looked fun .
Thanks for letting us know Oblivington, the party wagon has been dispatched! ;3
