lol Prison School: PV min 0:27 the most fucked up character I have seen so far .whats wrong with his ears  |
Plenty of time for J.C. Staff to work on Heavy Object still. Anyways, looking forward to Arslan Senki, Food Wars, and Owari no Seraph. The Prison School preview makes me kinda nervous. Just hope they don't censor much...  |
Prison School doesn't look that bad. :o  |

I Hope you Get well Aoyama sensei :(  |
K 2nd Season: PV2 I am waiting for this :)  |
J.C. Staff for Heavy Object? Sure, let's go with that, hope they don't work on anything for Summer. Lol @ BL action movie. That PV for Gargantia, hype. Tamayura is just beautiful, no words. RIP Shinji Ogawa, damn, we might still get to hear him in A/Z... that's sad.  |

Oh~, the news made it on MAL, yay~ ヾ(*´▽｀*)ﾉ (By the way I definitely appreciate the use of "BL" here recently (?) instead of the usual "shounen ai"/"yaoi" like in the DB here on MAL.)

Hopefully he will soon be as healthy and lively as his comments make him seem! Snow said: Seiyuu Mitsuhiro Ichiki Marries The seiyuu announced on his blog that he married fellow seiyuu Nana Inoue. So happy for him! *sniff* Congratulations! (Pд｀q｡) |
Yay new song from uverworld. STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI  |
RIP Shinji Ogawa |

Shinji Ogawa died. That's a shame. So is his role as the emperor in Aldnoah.Zero his final role then? Assuming nothing else has been pre-recorded. |
Prison School PV is looking good!  |
Creators of 'Freezing' to Start New Manga Series LOL atleast finish all your other manga/manhwa first :( Hope this one bombs so they learn their lesson.  |

Source: Herringbone official site I wonder if this will affect the last two episodes of Aldnoah? I'm sure they probably already had it tracked out... just wondering though. Rest in Peace, though.

How is this not worth an own post, you heartless bastards? I know we're just a bunch of anime fans here discussing all kinds of weird shit, but even we should honor a person's death with a simple post at least. Jesus... May you rest in peace, Stresemann-sensei. A wonderful seiyuu who undoubtedly defined the various roles he played. My heartfelt condolences go to his family and loved ones.

I liked that art from the authors of Freezing. Prison School trailer looked pretty interesting to me. |
Missed a news about new voice cast for Danmachi. Came out last Friday. http://www.danmachi.com/character.html Bete Loga: Nobuhiko Okamoto Ryuu Lion: Saori Hayami Loki: Yurika Kubo Freya: Yoko Hikasa  |
Awesome news about Seven Days. :O Ack, unfortunate news about Aoyama though, hope everything goes well. Face_Faith said: (By the way I definitely appreciate the use of "BL" here recently (?) instead of the usual "shounen ai"/"yaoi" like in the DB here on MAL.) I totally agree, so glad it's catching on! Though on goodreads.com people still use 'yaoi' for the most part. I think because it's such a popular tag by now, changing it would take some work/time. Now if only GL would catch on too... Though I sure wouldn't want 'NL' to catch on. 眠れないのは君のせい |
I like Rossweisse's voice actor so pumped for that! R.I.P. Shinji Ogawa |

Sorry for Ayoma R.I.P Shinji Ogawa |
I'm looking forward to most of these. Maybe Food Wars & Seraph of the End the most from that list. |
