Hello and greetings fellow otaku,

Well I have some bad news for those of you who are major Bleach fans out there. It has been recently announced that the Adult Swim block on Cartoon Network will not be airing new episodes of the Bleach anime series in April. Earlier this year Adult Swim ran an on-air bumper stating that new episodes of the popular anime series would premiere in April. However, according to the new schedule that was released by the network, the series will stop airing new episodes after episode 167 and will be showing repeats starting with episode 129.

It is also known that Adult Swim will now only be airing 3 episodes of Bleach from 12:30am to 1:30pm with a double run of Cowboy Bebop taking over the 2:00am time slot where the fourth episode would air. The new schedule takes effect on April 24. As always stay tuned to Anime Full Circle for the latest updates on this developing story. So until next time, remember that their is a ton of great anime and manga out there. All you have to do is find it. Ltrs.

Hello and greetings fellow otaku,

Well with the release of Final Fantasy XIII only 48 hours away, i figured that it would be appropriate to celebrate the release of this new release of this popular series by doing a special edition of Anime Remix Amv Edition. This Final Fantasy Amv features clips from Final Fantasy X tied to the music of Evanescence’s My Immortal.

Granted I wish I had a PS3 so I can play FF XIII, but I can’t afford one at the moment with school and all. But once I graduate from school, I think I will get one and get this and Blazblue!!!!!!! Now that’s an awesome combination. But enough about that, enjoy the video everyone and I will talk to you guys again soon. Ltrs.

Hello and greetings fellow otaku,

Now I know what you guys are thinking, why the heck haven’t I been updating AFC on a frequent basis over the past few weeks? Well things have been a little bit crazy for me personally with school and work related issues and all of the projects and exams that go with it. So unfortunately, that has cut into my blogging time severely (i.e. my one web based course was one of the culprits in this dilemma LOL!!!!!!!!!!!). However things are looking up for me, I have been able to get back up to speed with that and with spring break only a few weeks away I hope to get back to blogging on a regular schedule later on this week.

I have a lot of great posts that I have been dying to work on including my first salute to Hayao Miyazaki post on Howl’s Moving Castle and my copy of Ponyo is on it’s way so I will have a review on that as well. All that plus a whole lot more is coming you way in the weeks to come. So to all you readers out there, thanks for your continuing support and patience during this crazy moment in my life. And until next time, remember that their is a ton of great anime and manga out there. All you have to do is find it. Ltrs.

Hello and greetings fellow otaku,

Hello and greetings fellow otaku,

Did you ever have one of those days where you are completely bored out of your mind and you just want to lay down and take a nap? Well have I got the video for you. In this edition of afc quickies we have another clip from the anime series Azumanga Daioh in which we see Osaka and friends having lunch on the roof of the school. However Osaka notices what a beautiful day it is, she thinks it is a perfect time for an afternoon nap. But when Yomi and Chiyo-Chan get in the act, it catches on relatively quickly.

Personally, this is an excellent video for those of you need a way to get to sleep at night or if you just looking for something to get your mind off other things. But anyway, enjoy the video and I will talk to you guys again soon. Ltrs.
