Keeping it simple again this week because 1.) it was too hot to go outside and 2.) I just got a fancy new light box that I wanted to try out. I decided to test it using this Lupin the 3rd statue/pen holder I keep on my stereo receiver most to the time. The statue’s got a lot of nooks and crannies on it and I didn’t have to spend a lot of time posing it (cause I’m feelin’ tired and lazy right now :P) So far the test shots are looking pretty good, so hopefully this you folks will soon be able to see a noticeable improvement in the quality of my figure photos. =^_^=
Hmmm…that reminds me…I need to get the backdrops for the light box ironed because they’re all wrinkly. Since ironing falls under the general domain of “woman’s work,” I think I’ll palm that job off on my wife :P

Yeah, I know. I’m a bit late on this particular article since all of these announcements were made during last week’s Anime Expo, but cut me some slack. It takes a while to compile this much info, complete with video! It’s like, y’know, work and stuff :P
If I were to choose which shows most caught my interest, I’d have to go with Nozomi Entertainment’s Sora No Woto and FUNimation’s Moyashimon. After seeing the preview for High School of the Dead, I must say I’m most disappointed by how disgustingly fan service-oriented it appears to be. I was hoping to finally see an awesome anime about the zombie apocalypse and instead all it looks like I’m getting is Eiken Vs. the Undead =^_^;;=
Anyway, hit the jump to see the full rundown and let me know what titles catch your interest!
UPDATE – 07/22/10:
NIS America has announced they will be remastering volume 1 of both Toradora and Persona to address transfer issues with both sets. For details, go here.
I wasn’t quite sure what to expect when I sat down to watch Toradora! I’d heard a lot of positive buzz around the internet when the show was originally on the air in Japan last year, but I’ve learned over the years that fan hype should never be taken at face value as a sign of quality. Thankfully, from the very first episode, any fears I had about the series were quickly put to rest as I became completely engrossed in this engaging and delightfully rambunctious anime series.

Sorry if this week’s Monday Music is overly saccharine, but I just couldn’t help myself. I’ve been addicted to the Toradora anime ever since it showed up my doorstep last week and I can’t stop listening to the first end theme song. It’s really disgusting, to be honest, because the song is really not that memorable. I blame my sudden infatuation with all things Toradora related for this post… =T_T=
FYI, I was going to use the live version from one of Yui Horie’s concerts, but it was just so disturbing in it’s attempt to make grown-ass women look hyper cute that it turned my stomach. I’ve posted it after the jump for those daring enough to watch it for themselves… =^_^;;=
According to a recent press release, the second and concluding volumes of Toradora and Persona -Trinity Soul- will be released in late August of this year. Both releases will contain the last thirteen episodes of each series and will come packaged as part of premium boxset complete with hardcover art books. Preorders for both volumes are already available at select retailers on the internet.
