K-ON! Widescreen Comparison

April 30, 2009 by Chikorita157 1 Comment

Like with both seasons of Clannad, TBS seems to shaft the animation and only show it in 4:3 which make the animation rather disappointing … After Clannad went widescreen several weeks later, the results were awesome.

With K-ON!, it’s no exception… the animation improved tenfolds in Widescreen compared to 4:3. Comparison shots below:

Theme Redesign

April 24, 2009 by Chikorita157 Leave a Comment

uguu
Uguu~ You said you wouldn’t laugh!

After messing with the theme files for WicketPixie 1.1.2 for one hour in Espresso trying to make the banner view correctly, make it XHTML Transitional valid, and some various tweaks, it’s finally here just in time for Spring.

New Features in the Anime Blog:
TweetThis: You will be able to share any of the anime posts posted here on Twitter, providing you have a twitter account. Make sure you follow this blog’s Twitter account for the latest anime updates
New look: No more white boxes on the side, now seamlessly integrates with the sidebar. Also, there are new buttons to subscribe to this blog and go to this blog’s Twitter account.
Other internal changes: There are changes under the hood that only I can use, including the ability to edit posts directly without going through a list of posts, customizable home page (disabled since I want to use the default Wordpress layout), and various customization options without editing the code.

Otherwise, there isn’t that much drastic changes in the theme. I’m hoping to work on a new banner soon so it would be rotating. The WicketPixie theme is still in beta, so if there is something buggy, please contact me ASAP so I can try to fix it.

Spring Semester coming to the end… alot of work….

April 18, 2009 by Chikorita157 3 Comments

nyoo
While Spring Semester is starting to wind down and piles of homework, exams, and etc are coming with no end causing me to delay alot of the viewing of other anime besides K-ON at the moment. Like with most anime bloggers in college, college is my first priority and blogging in the anime blog is not my highest priority but I usually post atleast one post a week.

Once spring semester is over, I will start watching Kannagi, ef, Haruhi-chan and hopefully Air and start posting about it… but just hang in there for a few more weeks… they are coming..

Note: I don’t do haituses… they are pointless and counterproductive…

Apparently, there is a OVA coming for Clannad ~After Story~

Kyou fans rejoice… there is going to be a OVA that will be on the 8th volume which will focus on Fujibayashi Kyou’s arc.

At a CLANNAD After Story event “Kono Machi no Negai ga Kanau Basho” held on April 12th, the extra episode bundled with the volume 8 was announced to be Fujibayashi Kyou’s arc. A preview of the episode will be held on May 24th.

The TV programming guide of BS-TBS channel provided the synopsis of Kyou’s arc in the preview section of CLANNAD After Story episode 25. It is possible that the correct synopsis of the recap episode was mistakenly replaced with the synopsis of the DVD special episode. The final volume of the DVD will be released on July 1st.

Synopsis:

Spoiler InsideSelectShow

Ryou told her love to Tomoya and he accepted it. One day, Kyou offered herself to Tomoya for a practice of kiss. The next day, a rumor that Tomoya kissed Kyou was spread throughout the school. In order to deny the rumor, Kyou declared her love to Sunohara, but…

K-ON! gained popularity… Fast! No kidding!

No one actually knew that K-ON!, a anime about a Light Music Club will ever be that popular? I was mistaken… Within a few days, we start seeing MADS (NSFW link) poping up and also a flood of new fanart just after the airing of the first episode. Of course it may not appeal to the Westerners, but obviously in Japan, it seems to appeal to them alot.

Not to mention, the ED is awesome… per se.
