Just got back a few hours ago from the %% http://www.tokyoanime.jp/ja/index.php,Tokyo Anime Fair 2008%% which runs from this Saturday through Sunday. Press and business days are Today and tomorrow.
The venue moved from Makuhari to Big Sight which is great as its only 40 mins from base.

Coverage has started in the news items and will be posting more there as well as articles here.

First up is Sekirei the anime which has made it from the manga series. From the trailer that they were screening at the show, I immediately put it down on my watch list ^^; Need to wait until the summer though when it goes on air.

They had the manga at the Sekirei booth which I saw for the first time too - looks like this is going on the "must read" list ^^;

The station at Big Sight filled with Sekirei posters.
More from the Tokyo Anime Fair later which is being brought to you with Akihabara News.

When a friend of my recommended me to read Sekirei, I did and I was like.... Wooohooo!!!! Excessive Fan Service!!!

A certain page in the manga keeps me enthralled for 40 minutes. Don't ask me why. :P

Well, as for the manga, it's definitely ALL ABOUT fan service. The story is so-so. >_<
Nevertheless, I have read all the released manga and am planning to do the same with the TV show ^^

Looks good, though i can see the reason why everyone wants to see it! Well - 2 reasons!
If that promo poster was cropped at the neck, no one would give a rats arse about it! This anime is a boob-o-rama!

Its animated pretty well and that main maiko style girl is pretty kawaii...

Any more news on cencoroll? That looks awesome.

Also - bit of feedback. Do you reckon you could add a bit showing exactly how many people have voted in the poll? I like to see how many participate in things like that. Japanprobe does it when they do a poll.

Ahhhh manga from Sakurako Gokurakuin... creator of Catagory Freaks... Cute style. Always caught my eye in shops. But never bought... been enthalled by the vacum wrapping though lol. Always wonder how filthy a series can be to merit vacum wrapping.

Heard about the anime when it was announced a few weeks ago and it's been on my "to watch" list since, since I really enjoy the manga, or rather, Tsukiumi!!!

It's going to suck, heck, i'd put money on it (adaptations such as these don't have a glittering history)!!

But I'll watch it anyway...

Sekirei in definitely number one on my wait-to-watch list (well ex-equo with To-love-ru) this title it is packed with cute oneesan's with really huge and round eyes plus Kuu-chan is sooooooo kawaiiiiiii *^_^*. I hope that when they will release DVD version those beautiful big eyes will be more exposed than in TV version, cause from the trailer it looks like manga is sooo much more ecchi than anime... I am so sick of this c**p, why can't they make more anime like Mahoromatic or Girls Bravo S2 without all this false modesty ...?

I'll probably skip over it most likely since it just seems to be the generic fanservice anime.  I'll stick with my Spring/Summer line up of anime I already plan on watching.

With this much fanservice, it's always on my watch list! :P

But seriously? I tend to always watch anime with no fanservice first.

Dunno... fanservice is nice and all, but sometimes it just gets in the way of a great story... hope this isn't the case for this one.

This might sound nuts, but well... I was reading the Sekirei Manga online scans before I went to bed at 11 PM. Problem is, I think I read about 10 chapters.... Probably because of the nice and excessive amount of fanservice that it contains. 

For some reason, Musubi and Tsukiumi appeared in my dreams. DO NOT ask me what the heck are they doing in my dream. ^^ But as a clue, it was a nice dream.

So, I woke up the next morning. 

The clock shows 9 O'clock.

My uni lectures starts at 9.15....
