Macross Frontier Episode 5 (Stardate Or Macross Macross It’s A Wonderful Town The Bridge Is Up And The Hangars Are Down)

Any Time Ranka

Would you believe I spent most of this week doing nothing but playing Gundam games and finishing up some old anime I left on the backburner.  Yes it’s true, I’m an expert at wasting time, but no more will I waste any time in getting to Macross Frontier episode 05.  This time we take a tour of the city and see some interesting locales.  Try not to get stepped on.

Kure-Nai ~ Episode 6 ~ Romance DRAMA, the musical

The animation may be subpar, but I was attracted by something else

I choked, really I did. Kure-nai, the series that has earned so many praises from me (and a lot of other bloggers) for its spectacular development and plot has completely done something out of the ordinary. This week’s episode poses no development (and more or less no plot), yet, it has got to be one of the funniest episodes I have seen this season. The theme for this week? Musical HOME DRAMA!

Lucky Star OVA Update

Yes Kyoani is doing it, yes the original cast is back, yes to everything.  So now that what’s important to people is out of the way we can just sit back and wait then yes?  Oh right the plot…..nobody cares about the plot, we’re talking Kagami Hiiragi (Personally I prefer Kagami Kuro, but that comes later) and possible tsundere moments.  At least the OVA will give Kaori Fukuhara and Minoru Shiraishi something to do besides being a bridge bunny in Macross Frontier (speaking of which I’ve gotta get on that) and ummmmmmm something.  Yeah remember that guy that liked to gyrate around at the end of every episode.  Nobody loved him.

Update:  Yeah so apparently the plot is going to revolve around (as in central theme) a battle of wits between Konata and the Anime Tenchou, and it doesn’t sound like the other characters are really going to factor in too much.  The Anime Tenchou being a feature character gives Kadokawa the chance to really go at hawking their wares with their most popular property and through said property possibly enhance the sales of their other works and maybe (Pfft!) pull themselves out of the red ink for the next quarter.

I don’t mean to sound like too much of a downer, but this sure sounds like a cash in.  Also people looking for more Kagami, Tsukasa and Miyuki, I’m not sure you should get your hopes up to much as the ad very much has Konata and Anime Tenchou in the foreground and everybody else in the background.  Then again I can’t say I expected anything but cheap commericialism from Kadokawa anymore.  They don’t even care about what they are doing to their properties and characters, only about how it can make them money and it’s going to continue backfiring in the long run, I can feel it.
