As Seasons Of Change reports, the 6th chapter of Kara no Kyoukai, “Boukyaku Rokuon” (Fairy Tale), will be released theatricaly on December 20, 2008 (as I was expecting ^^).

If there’s one thing GAINAX did right with this series, it’s the OP choice - while the show is boring as hell so far, the OP is WIN. November 12, 2008 release.

slowpoke.jpg news, but I’ve been away and forgot my pass, lol. Anyhoo…

First mini album from anNina (Annabel x bermei.inazawa)! Surprisingly (or not?) it doesn’t include the recently announced 「まなざし」 (”manazashi”), the Higurashi Rei ending theme, but does come with a new version of their first single, “taishou a” from Higurashi Kai. December 17, 2008 release.

The opening 6 minutes were great, but as it continued… eh. Not that there were no funny moments there (most courtesy of Chiwa Saito’s line delivery), but I was getting more and more disappointed with every minute.

Nevermind the long uninspired fight sequences, you know what annoyed me the most in this episode? Kemeko’s size - it was very random and she was waaaaaay undersized almost all of the time (I somehow didn’t notice it in the past episodes). Another bad thing is how light-weight they make her seem (jumping and hanging onto Sanpeita). Kemeko should be a big fat friggin’ mecha, not a mecha-Guu that’s not even reaching his waistline. Perhaps more adlibing from Chiwa in the 2nd half would help…

But, as I said, CHOBEBEGU was 超（ちょう）ベリーベリーグッド！, indeed (Chou Very Very Good).

Next pool episode seems like 1chapter episode again. It SHOULD be hilarious so let’s hope it actually IS. Episode 5, I suspect, will also be wholy devoted to the date from chapter 7 (or perhaps they extend through the following chapter for a HAWT cliffhanger) and things should pick up after that…

Slowpoke.jpg, but awesome music is awesome. This might be the only OST to get released for this series, considering it’s only 13 episodes long (last time I read at least). As happened with the previous seasons this OST is also set to include the full ending theme by Mamiko Noto as well as plenty of REMI goodness. December 17, 2008 release.

Probably slowpoke.jpg, but the ALI PROJECT single, originally scheduled for November 12, got pushed back to November 19. :(

Unlike some, I was not disappointed by this episode at all. Here are two parodies that I recognized (hopefully correctly lol), but didn’t see other bloggers mention.

MARVELOUS Ghost in the Shell (it only lacked Kemeko singing the choruses from the movie)

MARVELOUS Higurashi (6th arc). This one actually might be unintentional, since it’s the same in the manga.

Tell me what it is cause it looks so familiar.

I’ve been adding M3 CDs I’m interested in to the calendar without ever making posts for them (might compile it tomorrow into one post like I did on Comiket), but I can’t ignore the new release under the Barbarian on the Groove label. Samples on official site. October 13, 2008.
