キタ━━━(゚∀゚)━━━ッ!

Here’s a couple of little bits floating around in the Anime Almanac this week:

First of all, remember how I went all moyism on us last month? Well, as the title of the post says, it came!

Isn’t that beautiful! That had only cost me $7 per item! Now, that’s not much of a deal when you think about the manga, but when you thing about the art boxes and the Princess Nine complete collection… hee hee hee (^_^).

Then my roommate told me how people on some message board were talking about getting a free gift from ADV when they got their packages. I was like, “No, I don’t think I got one…” So I looked at what I ordered, and sure enough ADV gave me a free copy of a Generrtor Gawl DVD. Lol, if my roommate had never said anything, I would have assumed I ordered it for some reason.

And speaking of ADV, that crazy Suck-Bunny loving producer David Williams has just trademarked “Jiggle Counter.” For those of you not familiar with this company’s great sense of humor, the “Jiggle Counter” is a little extra that ADV puts in their fan-servicey shows. It counts the number of times a character’s breast moves separately from the rest of her body. You can see the proud man’s accomplishments here!

Also, ever since last week I’ve been getting a lot of traffic from my site with searches for “paipan” on Google. This could mean that I am either:

A) Helping out confused Negima fans.

or

B) Dissapointing a lot of perverts.

Either way, I think it’s pretty funny. :-P

And finally, one of my favorite readers has started up an anime blog with a couple of his friends. So I gotta give my shout-out to Os at Kono Soro. Everyone, check this group out and give ‘em some of the good anime community spirit! I’ll add you guys to my blog roll if you add me to yours, okay? ;-)

Anyway, I am currently working on one of my detailed and in depth posts on how I think the anime market is about to change over here in the US. I’m sorry it’s been taking so long to write it, but as a full time student and part time office worker, free time is never available. But thanks for all of you guys sticking with me for the past couple of months. I promise, there’s still more Scott on the way for you!
