I still wonder how much they had to pay Duran Duran (not necessarily Funi) for that song [img]/images/graemlins/sdsmiley.gif[/img]

Figures that the one I don't want comes out first [img]/images/graemlins/sweat000.gif[/img] Oh well.

I forgot that was going on this weekend!

Nice to hear dates for the rest of the TM OVAs. Too bad they're a ways off, but I'll live okay. Not like there's nothing else for me to buy between now and then.

I'll probably give Negima a pass and I don't really know enough about the rest of the series mentioned, although the concept behind Speed Grapher sounds interesting.

Thanks for the info!

Gah, yeah, wonder what happened to that... hopefully the lack of any information at this con doesn't mean it's scheduled for even later than TB. Although October would be appropriate in way, I don't want to wait that long =P

Well the bright side to something coming out later is that the later it comes out the more time I have to work on getting other stuff. Actually come to think of it, it would be rather interesting if they released the first volume of Tsukiyomi Moonphase on October 31st.

It's good that FUNi needs more time especially the fact that they need time to "trick-out" the fonts on the OP credits. Anyone who has seen the OP sequence knows that Akiyuki Shinbo and his team really had "fun" with it on many occassions. [img]/images/graemlins/stunned0.gif[/img]
