“Lucky Star Vol. #6 (also w/Limited Edition) – 100 min”
Regarding this news article: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2009-02-20/lucky-star-6-le-cancellation-confirmed
Lucky Star Volume #6’s limited edition is no more.
I don`t know if this is a right place to post, but I have found a nice site for anime fans, a social network. The site is http://www.myanimeface.com I hope this site may contact them and maybe be partners or have links to each other, really it would be great to have bigger anime networks
Wow! So much good stuff coming out! I have Subbed Clannad and I’ve seen all of Lucky Star and Claymore! They’re all really awesome, though I have to say for Lucky Star I didn’t really like the English dub. Fun fact! Konata Izumi’s Japanese voice actress is also Haruhi!! Bet you didn’t know that!! It actually makes Konata’s character a little strange since Konata is such a huge Haruhi fan… Anyways I’ve yet to see Claymore in English so I’m looking forward to that, especially knowing that it’s being dubbed by Funimation! Yay! Like I said before, I have Clannad, but I’ve yet to actually watch it. We shall see how it is. I’m also looking forward to finding a working version of the game!!
It’s awesome we’re getting bleach too! Again I don’t like the English version as much, but I’ll support it since I love Ocean group’s work so much. I’ve only seen up to Episode 96 or so but I plan on catching up eventually! That’s for the update!!
P.S.
Woah wait! Pani Poni Dash is coming?! Yeaaasssss!!!! If you haven’t seen this anime, watch it! It’s seriously one of the most random things to hit the screens! If you like Shinanigan anime, you HAVE to check this one out!
~Okysho out!
I’m excited for the new animes coming out! I haven’t been really interested in any anime since Death Note! Okysho Kenyaku, I’ve never even heard of Pani Poni Dash before! I guess I’ll have to pick up a copy of that one, it sounds interesting!
