Bata-kun no Atarashii Nikki/バタくんの新しい日記

I’m beat. I can barely type properly. I can barely think properly while I’m at it.

Uh, I just want to say an early “Happy New Year”. I don’t plan on typing another entry until the time of Amano Yuri-san’s birthday. Tomorrow, I plan on cleaning up and on New Year’s Day, the day after tomorrow, and Tanaka Rie-san’s birthday, I’m working. Yes, it’s a crime that I’m working on Tuesday. On Wednesday, I’m doing a bunch of errands. So, Thursday, it is.

Oh. There are those awards. I’ll mention them now.

Best anime: “Haruhi”.

Most surprising anime: “Zero no Tsukaima”.

Best game: “Megamari”.

Most surprising game: “Pink Sweets”.

Individual of the year: Hirano Aya.

Company of the year: Kyoto Animation.

2006’s the year of “Haruhi”. I mean, Hirano-chan’s my person of the year! Need I say more?

Okay. I’m really tired. I’m off.

12月31日のノート:誕生日おめでとうございます伐。あなたも舞。お、明けましておめでとうございます日本。 ^_^

I’m pretty sure that you heard this already, but thanks to Random Curiousity and Moonphase, I found out that “Zero no Tsukaima” will be getting a second series. This is definitely good news, especially since this is my surprising anime series of the year. Yes, this is my surprising anime of the year and what I said just now is also surprising because I generally have a love-hate relationship with Iwasaki Yoshiaki-san. Your lesson of the day: he directed “Love Hina”, “Binzume Yousei”, “Sensei no Ojikan” and a bunch of other series.

I don’t know how it became my surprising anime of the year, especially since it has a character in which I have a love-hate relationship (or possibly a hate-hate relationship) with and that it’s too short as well as rushed, but it somehow became my surprising anime of the year. (Don’t ask where did I get that “hate-hate relationship” phrase.) Hmmm. Why’s this the case?

I think it’s that Siesta factor. Yes! That’s it! Shiesuta ga dai~suki!

Seriously, it’s entertaining. It has a terrific seiyuu cast. It’s a J.C. anime series. It’s that good. Really.

When will the next season air? I can’t say. If I have to guess, it’ll air in seven months most likely. I wish it’s July of next year now.
