It’s been a while since I’ve done a list of what my favorite anime songs on. I’ve been thinking that I should go through and do the list again sometime, but by now there are so many songs I’ve heard, that it’d take me a while to get through them on (right now, just on what I have in itunes, I have 4 CDs worth of 5-star anime vocals).
Also, as far as episode reviews I should get Doujin Work Episode 3 up today, hopefully Nagasarete Airantou 18 tomorrow, and, if I’m lucky, School Days 6 Friday.
And now that CLANNAD has been confirmed for this fall, I am now officially announcing that I will blog that series in the fall. Also look forward to Shakugan no Shana II. I’ve seen that it’s supposed to air on TBS, but I’ve seen no start date for it. When it gets closer (probably mid to late September) I’ll do a full rundown of the fall shows and what shows I’ll blog and what other ones I’ll watch.

Ah yes, another Visual Arts/Key visual novel turned anime series. I’ve seen Kanon and loved it, and I should get Volume 1 of Air in the mail from Netflix today, and CLANNAD would complete the “trilogy,” so to speak.
I’ve been looking at this one for a while, but I wanted to wait until an official announcement on when it would air was made. This past week that announcement was made: October 4th. Of course there is a movie of this being made, but I would almost rather watch the series first, then watch the movie, so the movie doesn’t spoil the series for me.
The movie, which is being made by Toei Animation (which did both the Air Movie and the 2002 Kanon series) is being put into theaters September 15th. The TV series is being done, once again, by Kyoto Animation which did both the Air TV series as well as the 2006 Kanon remake. There is no word on how long the TV series will be yet.
One thing that is different about CLANNAD over both Air and Kanon is that it was never released as an adult bishojo game. Both Air and Kanon started out as adult games, and then had a “clean” version released later.
CLANNED is also the biggest of Key’s visual novels, at least in terms of lines of dialog (which may suggest a full length season will be made).
From the few things I’ve read about it (I try not to spoil it), I haven’t seen anything that indicates anything of a mystical nature in CLANNAD, but given that this is Key, and such things have occurred in both Kanon and Air, it’s definitely not out of the question. In any case, I’m hoping for yet another success coming from both Key and Kyoto Animation.
