I have not picked my fall shows yet and its Spring already? What happened to the time?? Oh well, I’ll start with this show.
A Tweet caught my eye today about a new show called Steins; Gate. It is based on a game and from the bits that I have seen it looks pretty good. (more…)
The Internet can be an addicting place. Loads of sources full of information. Some good, some bad, some accurate, others… well you know. So how to narrow some of this information down to a more manageable size is a good question. You can setup an iGoogle page with a number of widgets and links as an all in one place. But what if you prefer not to leave your browser open. (more…)
Airport shirt, originally uploaded by P-Shinobi.
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.
I have added the remainder of the providers as listed on The Anime Network site. Let me know what you think.
This week it appears High School of the Dead has returned this time dubbed in English. (more…)
With Borders recently filing for Chapter 11 protection, they are closing a number of stores around the country. One store just happens to be literally across the street from my grocery store. That is probably a bad thing considering today. (I think I went overboard) (more…)
This weekend (February 18 – 20) there was an Anime convention held in Kansas City, MO called Naka-Kon. There were a number of events ranging from Anime information, gaming, voice acting as well as guests. Unfortunately due to scheduling, I was not able to attend the full convention this weekend.

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.
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.
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!
Only one show kicking off this week for The Anime Network on AT&T U-Verse.

Letter to Momo
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.
