I wasn't planning on updating this blog again until I'd moved to Movable Type, but this momentous occasion (and stupid !*@#$!!) template! problems) compelled me to blog. ADV Manga has FINALLY updated their home page with releases, AND more importantly, release DATES, through the end of November.

After a long long LONG wait, Chrno - sorry, CHRONO Crusade finally starts coming out at a faster clip (vol 2 on Oct 4, vol 3 Nov 30). Not bad considering the first volume was released in frickin' MAY.

Aria vol 3 comes out November 23. Yay for it coming out at all, at the long wait since vol 2 (released in JULY). No date scheduled for vol 4.

There's more Full Metal Panic!? Oh my poor wallet...

Also of interest on October 4: Sakura Kinoshita's Tactics ... and MATANTEI LOKI RAGNAROK!!! AAAAA!!!!

(on a purely technical note, ADV appears to have dropped the ADVManga.com URL - it automatically redirects to ADVfilms.com/manga.asp. Hmmm.)

It may be just me, but all my current favorite anime/manga series seem to be direct challenges from the manga-ka to cosplay. Aria's form-fitting outfits are lovely but a tailoring nightmare. Bleach... well, OK, that's manageable, but I'm having a HELL of a time with the hakama. I don't even want to think of how to cosplay anyone from Samurai 7 (although it would be niftycool to see a whole group of all 10 Kirara-ikkou).
