I was going to do a much larger post for this but I have injured my wrist and shouldn't even be typing this. I hope it gets better soon so I'll be putting everything on hold blog wise for a bit longer to let my wrist heal as quickly as possible. I wanted to start the Toriko episodic posts up again next week but that again will have to be pushed back till I'm better and of course the Chibi Devi! posts will be on hold as well.

I will mention, (since I made people take a look at this post anyway) that I'll be bringing back my "365 Days" project next year! This time it's going to be titled: 366 Days of Anime School Uniforms 2012. 366 because next year is a leap year! I haven't fully thought out much of how these posts will take form yet but you can be sure that they will be fun and hopefully interesting. I've already created a few charts of anime school uniforms and I'll be showing those for every 30 uniforms that pass throughout the year in a sum up post.

Oh those adorable Kimi to Boku boys~

So look forward to another awesome year from Oishii Anime and thanks for reading even though the posting has been lacking lately.

~A Look at Anime to Come~ Fall 2011

 Using the chart from here. I give you the below edited for my preferences:

Click to actually read it

8 anime made it to the super looking forward to and will watch. Hilariously only 2 of those titles aren't season 2's and of course they both happen to be the noitaminA titles Un-Go and Guilty Crown. The only 2 season 2's I don't give a crap about are Sekai-ichi Hatsukoi (lol yaoi) and Shana III (lol tsundere). I'm currently trying to watch Shana Season 1 and it's not going so well enjoyment wise so who knows if I'll even get it watched by the time III starts. I find it rather amazing that Shana is the only show I have to watch to catch up with what's airing. Generally I got 2-3 titles to do that for when Spring and Fall roll around but only 1 is just a little shocking for me.

The one anime I'm most pumped up about is Hunter X Hunter. I love the original series and always hoped that they would make more.  I really can't wait for it! I dunno what I'll do if it disappoints me.

Gundam Age has been getting a lot of flack but I still think it'll be enjoyable. I gotta watch it anyway cause then I wouldn't be able to say I've watched ALL gundam titles! (Somehow I made it through all of SEED) Still waiting on more awesome Gundam Unicorn. An episode of that should be out pretty soon.

Ben-To has me interested for the silly factor. I don't really know what to expect but I do expect to laugh! It's probably the silliest anime I'm looking forward to this fall. I do hope that Kimi to Boku proves to be entertaining and not some kind of Ouran knock off without a reverse harem. Hori­zon on the Middle of Nowhere I hope it wow's me. I just want something that I think might be trash to actually be good.

I really hope that Last Exile and the new Fate/Zero do not disappoint me. I probably could live with Fate making me sad but if Last Exile is crap... I dunno...

I'll be interested in how Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai AKA "I got me no Friends "will do. There's a fair bit of hype about it but I'm still not so comfortable with it personally. Something about it just screams run away to me. Kinda like how Tamayura does along with those other few red highlighted titles...

SO MANLY!

I won't be blogging any of these but I might start that strange Busou Shinki Moon Angel soon because it's got 5 minutes episodes but I haven't decided on that yet. I've been doing pretty good with the Nyanpire posts so if that keeps going I plan on keeping up! I'm totally going to re-start blogging TORIKO as it's a shame I had to stop. It'll be fun catching up with it because GUTS GUTS GUTS is awesome!

<3 TROLL CAT!

 Fall anime is going to be exciting! YAY for season 2's of shows I actually like! Bakuman, Ika, and Working woooot!

Catch Up with FALL! January 15-16 Anime-Planet’s Monthly Marathon

It's that time for another Monthly Marathon Event called Catch Up, with Anime-Planet hosted by me. Click on the image below to see the anime list. It's all Fall 2010 anime so if you haven't watched everything you wanted to now is the perfect time to do it as there will be people around to chat with!

I've been hosting these events over on Anime-Planet for a whole year now and I gotta say it's been a blast. If you haven't checked out Anime-Planet in general you should as it is always growing! It's a great place to keep all your watched, watching, etc anime in check so you always know what you are doing with each show you watch. You can love and hate anime characters and even voice actors. New features and improvements are added pretty often and it generally doesn't take that long for a minor request to be filled. The newest feature is anime badges which are similar to X-box ones that you can unlock with certain anime that are watched or other random accomplishments. Tis all very fun stuff and more of those are going to be added soon. If you are the winner of this event you'll even win one!

Happy viewing!

Happy New Year and Look! More Anime Resolutions

First of all Happy New Year!

I spent my new years eve countdown in a house with lots of friends somewhere in Vermont. We stayed there for 5 days and had a lot of fun. While there I didn't think about anime or blogging very much and I have now returned ready to face the new year with some fun goals. I have some personal goals in here again along with my lovely anime blogging ones. Last year I did this as well and I'm happy to say I pretty much have completed everything on the Anime side of the goals list. I do still have Gundam Seed and Chrono Crusade to finish off but they are slow watches because I've been buddy group watching them. The only goal I flat out failed was reading manga that wasn't just One Shots. It's really hard for me to sit down and read I guess which is hilarious considering watching anime is basically reading!

One thing I would like to talk about while I got your attention is my 365 Days of Anime Characters posts. They are complete now and I seriously had a lot of fun doing it. I hope everyone had fun reading them even if I choose a character from a show you haven't seen. The goal was to make some lesser known series more known or to at least have people say to me "I'm gonna check this out, thanks!" I got quite a few of those responses which pleased me very much. I won't be continuing this project this year but I might bring it back again in 2012 or later. (Don't hold me to that though haha.) So instead, in the next week or so I'll be starting a new series that will be only once a week. I don't have a name for this project yet but it'll probably be along the lines of chii's Movie Pick or something like that. So look forward to it. If you have a movie suggestion leave a comment and I'll add it to my list! Once again, THANK YOU for reading the Anime Character Series!

Here's my goals for 2011!

Anime:

1. Read more manga (not just one shots)
2. Watch all anime that starts airing in 2011 (some exceptions apply)
3. Watch the titles I have not seen on Digiboy's top 100 list
4. Watch the straggler anime I still haven't finished from 2009 to present
5. Make more crazy top whatever anime lists
6. Instead of just reading everyones blog posts actually comment on them more
7. Attack Shinmaru and Prede's Anime-Planet lists and watch all that they have that I haven't
8. Watch those really popular shows I have been putting off for some reason
9. Pick ONE show from each season and episodically blog it (hopefully keep it to 12-13 episodes)

Suggestions for which shows to blog each season will be most appreciated! Level E is in the lead so far for Winter.

List of anime on Digiboy's list I will watch:

1. Pani Poni Dash
2. Kyouran Kazoku Nikki
3. Darker Than Black*
4. Bamboo Blade
5. Kamichu
6. Neo Ranga*

If anyone has suggestions for other possible popular stuff that I haven't already seen just leave a comment. This obviously isn't a complete list but I thought 25 titles up there were good enough for the moment off the top of my head.

Personal:

1. Continue Pokemon Workout to loose that weight
2. Try to get into a proper routine
3. Still figure out more ways to make money working from home
4. Try to get in better health so I'm able to get a job (STILL not too sure how to handle this one)
5. BE HAPPY

~A Look at Anime to Come~ Winter 2011

Here's a totally lazy picture post from Scamp's chart with my picks circled. (Although considering I had to tag the post with all this anime it sure didn't feel lazy at all...)

Click image to actually read it. (Yay Paint!)

I didn't include any OVA's, specials or any of that stuff. I honestly don't understand why people get so excited about those series as much as they do. The air dates are so random/spread apart that it's hard to care a lot about them until they are completely finished and actually available. That just might be my point of view on the matter though... I really don't like waiting around for episode 2 to come out 6+++ months later...

I also skipped out on 2 kiddy shows (Cardfight Vanguard and Usagigoya) that are at the bottom of the original chart. No one really cares about those 2 anime anyway. 11 out of 20 anime in this list are ones I'm looking forward so that'll be fun. Sad that 9 of those don't look so good to me but I'm sure one or 2 among those titles will shine through to enjoyment for me.

The 2 anime I'm most looking forward to are Level E and Wolverine. I hope they live up to what I want them to. Ironman didn't disappoint me so I don't think Wolverine will either.

The anime I facepalm at the most that will be airing is Oniichan no Koto Nanka Zenzen Suki Janain Dakara ne AKA I Don't Like You at All, Big Brother! It feels like they are trying to take Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai AKA My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute (long titles are long...) and turn it into incest... Which to be honest is what a lot of people want from OreNo Imouto... We'll see if it holds out though. I don't have high hopes for it at all.
