Shirts With A Creative Flare

Looking for a shirt with a unique design? Check out some of the designs at www.boomslank.com. I thought the designs fresh. This particular one “Airport” I like for the details and the fun idea of flying via insect.

Spring 2011 Anime Season Listings
Spring seems to be sneaking up on us pretty quickly and with that the new anime season. There are a number of sources that you could look through to find what is coming out this year and when and sure each vary a little. I thought I would bring you some sources that have taken the time to produce charts outlining the upcoming spring season.
- The Cart Driver. I’ve only recently become aware of the charts available their but I find them to be informative. Well worth the look see.
- Neregate. Just found out about this site tonight. They too have produced a nice looking chart for the Spring 2011 anime season. (Site may contain some NSFW items)
- Moetron: This site provides you with a collection of goodies. They have a chart (nicely done), a table of shows listing release dates and times along with stations, previews where available and links to the official sites.
I found these sites informative for the upcoming and past anime seasons and think you may as well. Are there other sites that you like? I am interested in compiling and adding to this list.
Here’s a peek at the charts. For the full size charts, go to the respective sites (linked above). All credit for the work put into these charts go to the chart creators / authors.

- Spring 2011 – The Cart Driver Edition

- Spring 2011 Guide – Moetron Edition

Chartfag: One of early providers of informative lists regarding anime seasons has decided to retire from producing charts. I want to thank you for doing a great job!

This movie is about a girl, Momo, who after growing up in a big city has to move to a remote island following the premature death of her father. There, she and her mom live together in the old family house. Compared to the city, time appears to have stood still. Momo is none to thrilled about her new surroundings. But most of all, she is uneasy about an unfinished letter from her father. The letter contained two words: “Dear Momo…” What was her father going to say.
