Daily Intake 29.01.11

⚫ Anime announcement: Hontou ni atta! Reibai-sensei is getting a TV anime starting this spring. It’s a 4koma manga series published in Monthly Shounen Rival about a teacher versed in the occult who can speak with the dead. Seems like it could be fun, and I quite like the character designs. #1

⚫ The shock of Suzumiya Haruhi was advertised in Yomiuri Newspaper #1

⚫ The official website for an upcoming anime, Mai no Mahou to Katei no hi is open here! The studio is P.A Works. The designs look nice!

⚫ The latest ratings for this week’s noitamina timeslot are in (which currently includes both Fractale and Horou Musuko): 1.6%! This is not a very good rating. it’s not the worst noitamina has been, but it isn’t far off. It also marks a steady decrease from the first week of the new season (1.9>1.8>1.6). The question to ask is, which of the two series is the baggage?

⚫ The official MBS page for episode four of Amagami SS has a bizarre mistake – one of the screencaps if Cecelia from Infinite Stratos!!! See for yourself here, or if it gets fixed, the screencap here.

⚫ I covered the DVD/BD sales of the fall-season anime in a post today.

⚫ Upcoming TV-anime, Dororon Enma-kun Meeramera will begin airing in April! source (check out the PV there too, it looks pretty fun!)

⚫ Some screencaps and shots of the extras for Sora no Otoshimono Forte BD Vol. 2 can be seen here

⚫ Haruhi truck spotted in Akiba! #1

* I watched a bunch of this week’s anime with friends today! It was pretty fun, and none of the episodes were disappointing. The lineup was: Yumekui Merry, Infinite Stratos, Madoka Magica and Gosick. The latest Yumekio Merry was genuinely good, and makes up for episode 2′s poor showing. Madoka Magica 2 was a little slow but still pretty interesting. More on those two shows later. Infinite Stratos was solid, cliche fun as usual. 8-bit is doing a surprisingly good job with that one.

lolol.. if you’ve been watching gg’s subs you’ll laugh too! mami really did need a rescue too!

A new take on the Fractale bomb image, adjusted for the ratings decline!

This is a brand new addition of the predicted character death clock for Madoka Magica~! haha, so very cruel!

This is the older death timeline..even crueller. Madoka’s family will die, but not Kyubee! Anything is possible..

Index #16: How cute!

Uiharu will appear in Index #17!! I thought Saten and Uiharu wouldn’t!

(from Index 17 preview) Oh wow..Misaka and Touma look so comfortable together..what’s the story behind this?

haha a collection of Touma’s punches. He loves to use his fists alright.

The manga designs for ClariS (the duo that did the OreImo and Madoka OPs) put into the form of a pactio card? Dammit Negi!

Picture of the Day: from the Railgun BD omake. Biri-biri is fuckin HOT!
