Yeah, I know I forgot to do this Friday, and yeah I know I didn’t get to doing the anime and manga releases on Tuesday. I’ll do a combined one for this past week and next week on this upcoming Tuesday.
I’m surprised I haven’t started a countdown to when Volume 1 of Funimation’s Rumbling Hearts (ie Kimi ga Nozomu Eien) is released (it’s 67 days by the way). In any case, I see that pictures of the artbox has been released. The first disc will sell at $29.98 with the first disc + artbox going for only $10 more.
Rumbling Hearts is supposed be on a monthly release cycle - meaning volume one should be out in late December, Volume 2 in late January/early February, and Volume 3 out in late February/early March. And it is only supposed to be 3 discs (probably due to the fact that this is the first time an anime like this is being released with any fanfare in the US, so releasing it in 3 instead of 4 discs reduces risk a little).
Well, enough of that. I present to you, the artbox:
I think this is the first time that the same title graces both the DVD and manga covers on the same post, but thats how this one turned out - since I give preference to those spots to semi-major (or bigger) series that are either ending, starting, or are releasing a box set, and well, Midori Days is both a) releasing a box set (and is the most rated anime series being released on Anime News Network anyway) and b) the manga run ends this week. So, it’s Midori Day’s week.
Update: This really may be Midori Day’s week, since the next review I’m planning on posting is for the Midori Days anime. Maybe I’ll post that next week and put up a Midori Days credits up on Friday. Then it will really be Midori…Week.

Tuesday already has it’s own thing - Anime and Manga releases which recently I have been able to keep up with for the most part. So, I’m adding another feature: Anime credits. This will feature opening and closing credit sequences from various anime. So far I have 25 collected on YouTube, so I have a good backlog of them, and I’ll randomly select a new one to post each week.
So, on to week one, and the winner is a credit sequence from an anime (well, a season of an anime) which I haven’t even seen yet - I just ran into it searching on YouTube:
Ah! My Goddess Ending Credit Sequence #4

Whenever each day ends,
I secretly feel in my heart:
‘I loved you
very much today, too.’If I recall, look –
Though there were days when I grew tired of crying
I eventually reached that place
after spending many nights like thatThe story we have begun
Is not alone, and we can feel it
Even if we just laughed a little together shyly
Our linked handsWill definitely overflow
With premonitions of love
too many to count
After all, it beyond any doubt that
We are indeed lovers

I bought the domain and threw the first webpage up on it on October 4, 2000. It has gone through several variations and is now more of a hub for all my subdomains, I have tried to constantly improve the site over time.
