First three episodes of Gurren Lagann - awesome! I knew that at episode 4 I would have to grit my teeth and make it through some crappy art. I tried to imagine I was watching some special episode by some funky director (kinda the truth). I made it through - barely. Then episode 5 looked the same. And 6 and 7 looked almost as bad. I began to lose hope. I stopped watching. It’s a sad situation when this kind of stuff happens. So instead I’ll look at some pretty GL images instead, like this one with the 3 main characters dressed up to go to a cocktail party or something. This is Gurren style, done slightly differently - but done well. *sigh* So, Gurren Lagann fans - at which episode does the art get back to normal?

Chii is adorable. No two ways about it. I think you could imagine her in any situation and she’d still look cute as a button. When will real technology for persocons become available!? I want one 0.o Though I supposed I’d settle for a Honda Asimo or other supercool Japanese robot. There certainly isn’t a shortage of robots coming from Japan!

While I was in Japan I saw lots of promo going on for the Spring ‘08 anime Soul Eater. I wasn’t able to find an english fansub, but decided to check out a raw. Verdict - the character designs are fun and simple and seem intended for a younger audience, but don’t cross that fine line into crude/childish design. The animation is well rendered - the action scenes looks really tasty.  This series looks to have a lot of flair and funkiness - can’t wait for the english subs to be put out there.  The true test will be the story and how it shapes up after a few episodes.

If the Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi was set in the old West, Haruhi would probably be the mistress of a bordello that connects a gang of rebel cowboys, Yuki would be the quiet stunner that does sneaks around and finds out the dirt on people, and Mikuru - well Mikuru would probably work for Haruhi in the bordello >.< But this pic puts the Haruhi girls in more of the standard Western get-up, with hats n guns n spurs - which is also an excellent interpretation of Haruhi Western Django.

In this anime adaptation of a manga by Kaworu Watashiya - a nine year old, Rin Kokonoe, has crush on her 23 year old teacher, Daisuke Aoki. I’m sure this leads to all sorts of loli fanservice and fun.  Sports day looks exciting - she seems intent to get a bite of the *ahem* bread.

Shana. Fiery hair, fiery eyes. This is a great rendition of her, lots of motion in the piece. I think this is a doujin work- can anyone ID the artist?

This wallpaper is full of typical Haruhi energy. She looks like she’s midair in some mission for the club. The camera around her neck is nice detail.

Chii hanging out on a pole. Her outfit is great, especially the shoes. Persocon! She’s such an adorable character! Pantsu! Pantsu! Pantsu!

Two schoolgirls - their seifuku adorned with insignia that look somewhat military. Maybe they’re in training to become en lite team of paper plane pilots! Ok, maybe not. I think this is from Kimikiss…

I haven’t watched Clannad, and am not crazy about the huge eyed characters, but this Cherry Blossom image was cute, and seemed appropriate for the time of year. Early April is when the cherry blossoms bloom, and soon there-after fall like pink snow.  Sakura is the word for cherry blossoms in Japanese.
