After a late night talk with Neko, I decided that you know, I live in the boonies, and interenets are slow in the boonies ergo internet video sucks in the boonies. Rather than post a preview of next season (BTW, I’m on summer ‘09 NOW), I’ll do the most difficult thing to do: Figure out which is better, the manga or the anime.

While I’m stalling on the already long ended Spring/Summer season, and while social life is (fortunately) picking up as of lately, I’m kind of glad to have something interesting to report on: A new wave of figures, because I don’t mind dilapidating my tuition money the big way.

…So. The first figure, obviously still fueled by my ongoing Ar Tonelico frenzy, is Luca from AT2! Coincidentally, it arrived in the same week as the first announcement of Ar Tonelico 3, which makes me even more enthusiastic about this beautiful figure!

Yep, Namco/Bandai and Gust are now gearing full throttle towards Ar Tonelico 3, now with the official release of the AT3 teaser site, which you can find here: http://ar-tonelico.jp/at3/.

Said site only offers a short 2 minute video, which doesn’t have that much to offer besides a revamped version of the Dive Shop/Load Game BGM (yay nostalgia! ), a new BGM extract, and two background images of Sol Cluster cities/locations.

As this is only a teaser, that’s unfortunately where the fun already stops for today. More to come when the official site will be launched on October 19th… in 4 days. Next Monday! I’m so looking forward to it!

Even Jakuri goes キラッ！！

As I said on twitter, I feel very anxious right now, and in an attempt to identify the cause of this unrest, I thought I felt the necessity of updating this blog. Maybe it’s that, maybe it’s not.
