There’s little which managed to intrigue this passing week, yet at least those items that did stem and flourish were generally more interesting than the norm – although that’s mainly as the norm is rather bleak.
Seven Day Summary:
Ocelot’s “Secret Party“, packed with all manner of artwork featuring the perfect loli, has shipped – leaving those less fortunate without it to simply kick rocks. And still on the note of artwork, Hentai Ouji to Warawanai Neko has gained its first promotional image. Incidentally, Operation Vivid Red has also been bestowed with marketing imagery, although in its case, they simply have the opposite effect and make the series look even more so lackluster.
SHAFT’s upcoming Sasami-san@Ganbaranai is perhaps the most visually captivating work with a pending arrival – and SHAFT’s reputation of course makes it something to keep in mind. In respect to another instance of the exquisite, Fate/Zero’s second round of pre-order posters have been released.
With all that accounted for however, the most tantalizing work of art for the week features the females of Haganai. Little Buster’s girls sadly aren’t all as attractive – and neither is Accel World even with its overdone effort to get attention.
Moving onward, Haganai, as well as Nogizaka Haruka, are quite changed on Blu-ray. A few fairly respectable manga volumes have been released – one of which is debuting at volume one, another being a more established name.
And lastly, the K-Project’s key visuals have been quite fascinating as of late.

just asking seven, do you know some good titles that you can recommend? because recently after watching steins;gate, i can’t think of anything to watch right now

Depends what you like, although of everything I’ve ever seen:
A few highly recommended:
- Haibane Renmei
- Texhnolyze
- Mushishi
- Full Metal Panic! + sequels
- Boogiepop Phantom
- GTO
Not spectacular, but very much worth watching:
- Witch Hunter Robin
- Claymore
- Umineko
- Hitohira
A long time ago, A-1 Pictures actually made some unique artwork for their series instead of the blob style they currently have – not to mention, they seemingly managed a solid adaptation, Valkyria Chronicles.
Recent things I’ve watched and heavily enjoyed (would consider them some of the best series I’ve ever seen):
- Seikon no Blacksmith
- Scrapped Princess
- Tales of The Abyss
- Bounen no Xam’d
And I don’t usually pick favorites of anything, although I can say that Aria The Animation, and the sequels, constitute the role of my “favorite” animation of all time.
Also, I’d recommend stuff like Ghost in The Shell, Trigun, or Hellsing, but I’d like to assume you’ve already watched those.
