We’ll Finally Get School Days 12 Tomorrow
I don’t really know Japanese, but according to a new post on the School Day’s official website, it appears that AT-X has confirmed that they will air School Days episode 12 9:30pm Japanese time on the 27th – that’s 8:30am Eastern time in the US on the same day.
Again, if I am interpreting the page correctly, Episode 12 was originally scheduled to air at 10:30am Japanese time on the 27th as well, but it appears that AT-X has decided to re-air episode 11 in that time slot, choosing to only air episode 12 in the night slot. Episode 12 is also scheduled to re-air at 12:30am on October 2nd.
Update: Here is a link to the news on the AT-X website (warning, might be slow. I think they’re getting slammed)
I’ll update this post if I get more information or a better/different translation of the page.

Upgrading to WordPress 2.3 today
Im upgrading to WordPress 2.3 today, So if my web page blows up, you know why.
Update: Well that was (relatively) painless. Seems to work. If you notice something has blown up, just let me know.
Ugh, ugh, ugh I hate that they’ve switched over from Technorati to Google Blog Search in the dashboard. I know a lot of people don’t like Technorati, but Google Blog Search has 5 links to my blog, all self-referencing. Whaaa, I want my Technorati back…
Anime Theme Competition – Third Round Group A Results
Edit: Correction to an artist made, and added comment
The first group of Round 3 has been completed, so here are the results. The songs which advanced to the Fourth Round are in bold. I’m also now entering artist/anime information into the next round match-ups on the bracket as they’re determined:
“Shissou” by Last Alliance – Ouran High School Host Club vs.
“Sakasama No Chou” by SNoW – Jigoku Shoujo
“Deep in Your Heart” by Koichi Domoto – Jyu Oh Sei vs.
“The Light Before We Land” by The Delgados – Gunslinger Girl
“Makka na Chikai” by Yoshiki Fukuyama – Busou Renkin vs.
“A Flower Without a Name” by The Indigo – Ai Yori Aoshi
“Being” by Kotoko – Shakugan no Shana vs.
“Pure Snow” by Yuko Sasaki – Legend of Himiko
“Hayate no Gotoku” by Kotoko – Hayate No Gotoku! vs.
“Motherland” by Crystal Kay – Fullmetal Alchemist
“Tsuki no Curse” by Reika Okina – Loveless vs.
“Waltz” by Kanako Itou – School Days
“Obsession” by See-Saw – .hack//Sign vs.
“Koi Suru Kokoro” by eufonius – Kashimashi
“Daichi no la-li-la” by Oranges & Lemons – Scrapped Princess vs.
“Starless Night” by Olivia – NANA
In the first two rounds that I did on my own, I weeded out all the “bad” and “bad-mediocre” songs. This round, we weed out a lot of mediocre songs (though there are still a lot of mediocre vs. mediocre match-ups) leaving mostly only “good” and “great” songs.
Probably the hardest match-up this week was “Being” vs. “Pure Snow” because I really like both of these songs, and it’s a shame that they had to face each other so early (I randomly made the bracket).
I wouldn’t say there were any “easy” choices this time, but some where easier than others. “Motherland” over “Hayate no Gotoku” was probably the least hard. I like Kotoko in general, but “Hayate” isn’t really my favorite of her songs, and it had the unfortunate assignment of facing off against one of my favorite themes from Fullmetal Alchemist (4 are in this round). Amazingly, Kotoko was the artist which had the most songs in this round with 5, and she quickly goes down 0-2.
Group B match-ups for next week are listed after the jump…
