As I mentioned earlier, Kanokon is the second of two anime premiering this season that I intend to keep track of on a week-to-week basis. Kanokon doesn’t have anything close to the deep storyline or explosive popularity of Code Geass… but the ecchi is fantastic. I love ecchi – love love it – and Kanokon promises to be one of the best ecchi series in recent memory.

Code Geass R2, Episode 02
I’ve been looking forward to this week’s episode of Code Geass R2 all week long, and I’ve been looking forward to blogging it since Taishou’s creation. Geass R2 is one of two anime premiering this season that I plan to keep track of from week to week.

Sakura Matsuri
Well, it didn’t take long for things to get exciting around here. Yesterday I took a trip to Washington, D.C. with everyone from CAINE to celebrate the Sakura Matsuri (the National Cherry Blossom Festival for those who don’t Moonspeak). I’d never actually been in D.C. for Sakura Matsuri before, so I was of course excited about that – but more importantly, this was my debut event as the president of CAINE, so I was determined to pull this off without any problems.

Taishou plus Power of Dream
On Friday, Citrus finally decided to officially join the Imperium Project Dev Team. I think the 2 pictures I will post below were the factors that finally convinced him to take the plunge. In celebration we got together to do some planning on the as-of-then defunct third heroine path. In addition, I set up a new blog for Citrus under my domain named Taishou.

Rika Version 2.0
After the general disapproval of version 1, Zanaikin felt the need to draw his version of how he imagined Rika to look like and posted it on his blog last Thursday. While waiting for him to come to Olsson for our usual meeting, I set up the equipment and decided to get working on my redraw of her. I had finished her face for the most part by the time he showed up and got a general approval on it, especially the hair pin I gave her. In terms of changes, I didn’t do too much other than add a slight embellishment to her skirt because without it, it looked somewhat plain and empty. The other major thing I changed was the look of the boots. They are the same style as in Zanaikin’s drawing but have added embellishments to make her’s match everyone else’s, plus I really like designing foot apparel.

Rosario to Vampire
The Winter 2008 season is coming to a wrap now though it is hard to make a solid conclusion about it given the fact that I have fallen behind on several series like is often the case with me. Anyways, I had no real reason to watch Rosario to Vampire other than that m.3.3.w., one of the best new sub groups, was going to work on it. It also happened to be the first winter season anime I watched subbed (although I watched H20 raw). I remember this because I was still on vacation at the time and was laying down on my coach at home watching RV on my TV while my little brother face-palmed.

Key’s Rewrite: Confirmed!?
It’s April 2nd in Japan now so I went to 鍵っ子ブログ(Key Blog) to check for updates regarding Rewrite. I wasn’t sure what to expect from Key but it seems that in fact the Rewrite announcement was indeed serious. However, the skeptical ones might believe that the announcement of the game itself could be real while the details such as the staff could be an April Fool’s joke. Amazingly though, by the look of things (by which I mean sources such as 2ch so take that as you will) both Ryukishi07 and Tanaka Romeo will be collaborating with Key on this one.

Experiences
みなさん、こんにちは。
今週の日本語じゅぎょうのトピっくは自分のけいけんについてだから日本に住んでいた時について書く。えい語でもう書いたけど今も書く。子どもの時に父はアメリカのかいぐんにつとめていたから、父母と日本のさせぼに行った。ぼくは二さいから六さいまでそこに住んでいた。そこでアメリカ人がたくさんいたからぼくはえい語を学んだけど日本語を勉強しなかった。でも母はちょっとならったからいつも母と一緒に日本のみせやしょうてんがいに行きたかったよ。いつまでもさかなを食べるのが好きだったら、みせの中でさかなやが一ばん好きだった。でもしょうてんがいでラーメンやに食べに行ったり買い物をしたりした。時々新しいおもちゃももらった。その時はとてもたのしいだけど十四年前、日本に出てアメリカに来た。
だからしょうらい、日本語202の後で日本に帰ってりゅう学したりコスプレけいいんしょくてんに行ったりしたいよwww。
