New Nanoha project in the works? I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a third TV series, but I have a nagging feeling it’s just an OAV. Hopefully, I’m wrong.

While cleaning out some old files last night, I noticed I still had the last two episodes of The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi sitting on my hard drive. After rewatching them, my feelings about the show have softened somewhat. The ending still feels a little empty, however, since, if the final episode is actually intended to be the sixth episode, all of the important things that happen within seem to have little to no lasting effect on the overall story or the characters involved. I know it’s a reset, “life goes on” ending of sorts, but it still doesn’t make much sense when you take the episode shuffling into account - especially given how careful the show was about maintaining continuity otherwise.

Call for bloggers? I’ve long figured it’s just a matter of time before we see an anime blogging panel at a major industry convention. The reason it hasn’t happened yet, I think, is because the anime blogging community is still quite young, and was a fairly decentralized place prior to the launch of Blogsuki. And, let’s face it: as great as Animenano is, it’s still only a couple of months old - and the vast majority of the blogs listed there are less than a year old. So, yeah, it’s a young community, us few old-timers notwithstanding. Next con season, perhaps?

One of my best friends plays the theremin. He also plays the Legend of Zelda. On the theremin.

Seriously.

Oh, and one last thing…

Dori and Gura are so totally guys.
