CLANNAD - Episode 15

It’s episode 15, and Nagisa tries to restart the drama club once again, with the help of everyone deciding to lend their name to the club, giving it the 5 student requirement. The only problem now is finding a faculty sponsor, but Nagisa ends up having a clash with another start-up club in an attempt to pick one up.  And apparently the school uniform designer also watches Evangelion a little too much.

New Poll: Podcast and Series Reviews

I decided to post a new poll asking about series reviews. It’s been a while since I’ve posted one (October actually), but I have quite a few lined up to add. However, I’m wondering about whether people would rather have me post reviews to the blog first, and then re-review them during my podcast later (how I currently do it), or review shows on my podcast, and then post that review on my blog afterwards. Or maybe a mix of both?

The plus for the first option is that I may be able to do a better review in the podcast if I re-edit one I’ve already written. Of course, the negative to that is that it may take a while for newer series to be reviewed on my podcast.

In any case, I’ve put up a poll to see what people can think. If you think it should be a mix of both (keep posting reviews to the blog first, but feel free to review a new series on the podcast), you can select both options. The poll will close in a week, and you should be able to track the poll’s results on the sidebar.

Anime Theme Competition - Quarterfinal Set 1 Results

It’s time to announce the results of the first two quarterfinal matchups. Clips for the last 4 songs in the quarterfinals are after the jump.

And just a reminder, I’m choosing these songs since I found that coming up with a top 10 list of favorite songs was a rather daunting task. So by “results” I mean “my favorite.” Just thought I’d mention that again.

The songs which advanced to the Quarterfinal/Seventh Round are in bold. Also, see the full bracket.
