After watching the first episode of Takako Shimura’s Yuri manga Aoi Hana (Sweet Blue Flowers), I was simply amazed by the characters, theme (YURI!!!11!!), animation and most of all, the OP (Look at the above pic if you don’t understand). And all done by the Hayate owned animation studio J.C. Staff, if only they managed to get the animation for Hayate at this level…
With the planned official release of the ED of the 2nd season of butler in-debt anime Hayate on June 10 this week, there seems to be retailers in Japan and online that is selling the album a few days earlier than the official release (I only found out about this yesterday), most likely either leaked/pre-order or some random illegal way I presume. Then just under a few hours the album made its way on to the Internet and is then putted up for download! (Use your instincts to find it, I’m not going to show links to download the song here due to obvious reasons.) So then I began to lurk various areas on the internet as an excuse to not do my homework (like now as I’m writing this) and hey presto I discovered lots of videos of the full ED on YouTube with an average of 400 views and a few ratings shooting up in just under a few hours!
Just to be original here’s the PV of the ED which made of win, starring non other than the ever-loving Hinagiku and her only! Which is kind of a surprise really;
After reading articles on the confirmation here, here, here and here, it is official that Shana will be returning either with a new season or a sudden remake of the second season this fall/autumn.
When I first read the headline for the ANN article when I opened my Google Reader account in the ANN folder, I was all FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUK YEAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! But for each of the articles I’ve read, each of them gave different outcomes, ANN reporting that it’ll be a remake of Season 2, and Sankaku believing it’ll be a continuation of the second season, thus, making it a third season. But Dengeki Bunko’s (the magazine with the original source) information on the confirmation is still pretty shallow at the moment, so the possibility of either being it a second season remake or an entirely new third season is anyone’s guess, or maybe JC Staff had taken the road for Kadokawa and decides to fool everyone by just re-airing the second season but cunningly adding in the new season in between half way? =0 We’ll just have to see…
Since Shana is my 4th favourite anime character (4th against Hina, Mio and Index) and the anime series my second favourite (2nd to Hayate -1st Season-) this is definitely my must watch for the year, and also Zan Zetsubou Sensei Hetalia Season 2 and Seitokai no Ichizon for this coming Summer. I can’t wait.
Now if only Comic Alive would announce the 4th Season of Zero no Tsukaima…
