Anime musings

Y'mean all that noise is about Haruhi reruns? And it deserves the cover of Newtype? The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi is probably the only anime that I enjoyed but think is overrated.

And why do the screenshots of both xxxHolic and Tsubasa upcoming straight-to-dvd animes look so bad? Why isn't their budget higher?

Zoku Natsume Yuujinchou 5! Natsume helps another huggable youkai. This time Reiko did something different with its name. I think this was mainly written to re-feature some of Natsume's classmates who haven't shown up in a while. Natsume tends to linger on the fact that his 'specialness' prevents him from getting close to people, but really, he has quite alot of friends.

Found 2 simple video to mp3 sites which converts and links at their site (I suppose everyone already knew about this...)

Here's Kourin's Ai Shiteru (Zoku Natsume's ending song) and Maaya Sakamoto's On My Own (full version); vid rips of course.
