Taking on the world, one day at a time
To mark this weekend’s screening of Toki o Kakeru Shoujo - and also because I have no time to write a proper post - here’s a heaping helping of chirashi goodness. No commentary, just pictures.
Clickable front and back images of two flyers are featured here (you’ll find the rest after the jump).
Details of this weekend’s screening are available at the official website of the Japan Foundation (Manila).
Today the spotlight falls on the second volume of Kadokawa/Bandai’s special edition Region 1 Lucky Star DVD series.
Tip of the hat to Anime News Network for digging up this piece of information.
One hundred weeks after its original release, the Suzumiya Haruhi no Tsumeawase CD (above, with slipcase) entered the record books by staying on Japan’s weekly Oricon top 200 singles chart longer than any other seiyuu-performed single.

Right, I think we’ve had enough rest. Back on your feet, lads: it’s time to resume our stroll through the historic centre of Macau.
Note: The pictures in this post are NOT clickable. I chose not to upload full-sized versions of the images I took because, as always, I’d like to encourage readers to purchase their own copies (and also because I don’t want to get into a copyright dispute with the publisher). Consider this a teaser for the real thing.
About bloody time!
Nearly a month after I ordered it from Japan (via HLJ), my copy of Newtype’s July 2008 issue has finally arrived, bearing more information on Suzumiya Haruhi round 2.
WARNING: Possible spoilers ahead - not from the magazine (since most of the text is virtually unreadable in these low-quality images) but from my commentary. Nothing major, though.
Mark your calendars: this year’s Eiga Sai kicks off tonight with an invitational screening of We Shall Overcome Someday.
Anime enthusiasts will want to block off the 26th and 27th of July for the J-Pop Anime Matsuri, which will feature three animated films - including the highly acclaimed 2006 movie Toki o Kakeru Shoujo.
Screening times, synopses and other details are available at the official website of the Japan Foundation (Manila).

Come with me as I retrace my walk through the historic centre of Macau in this special photographic tour.
(Yes, that’s right - this post has got nothing to do with anime or manga. Pureblood otaku might wish to shield their eyes.)
From Anime News Network: “ADV Films Reportedly Suspends 4 DVD Titles Indefinitely“.
Robert’s Anime Corner Blog has some up-to-the-minute information on this issue here.
Kanon 6 - the LAST volume in the series - is one of the four.
As one irate commenter pointed out on the message board: “Umm, ADV? You do not drop out of a series while releasing THE LAST DISC. Stop failing so much and give me my UGUU.”
Amen to that!
UPDATE (05 July 2008): It appears that ADV’s distribution rights to Kanon - along with dozens of other titles - have been transferred to Funimation. Details are a little sketchy, but Anime News Network has a full list of titles here (and the original press release is here). I don’t know if they’ll be able to ship out Volume 6 anytime soon, but at least there’s a good chance that we will get it at some point in the future. (Preferably tomorrow. But now’s fine, too.)
