There's a new doujin fighting game in town that's been taking the netplay community by storm (no pun intended!) Scarlet Weather Rhapsody is one of the latest 2D fighters to appear on the scene.

The opening for the latest work by KeyAni. Clannad starts on Oct 4th and expectations are high. I get the same vibe that I did watching the Kanon (2006) opening, and I hardly know a thing about the original game. Should be a great run though, given their track record in these collaborations~

A brief news post is here~

http://lycee.omoshiroi.info is currently down for hardware maintenance. Hopefully it'll be back up in a day or two.

As for me, I'm still alive, but have been highly busy plotting an expedition to...Japan! Hopefully this will result in more updates and content. Hopefully. Stay tuned loyal readers...

At the beginning of Lucky Star 16, we get to see Konata playing around with her keitai. It's almost certainly the Sharp SH903iTV. TV, of course, stands for television (hence the swiveling screen). Apparently, watching wireless digital broadcasts while commuting has become popular recently.

Rundown of the basic specs:

Width: 50mm
Length: 111mm
Weight: 143g
Displays: 3.0" Main LCD, 0.8" Sub LCD
Cameras: 2.0MP main camera, 0.1MP secondary camera (video conferencing)

It also has a built in FM transmitter (for the car), a DVR mode for recording broadcasts, and a whole list of neat features that are pretty much standard on Japanese phones these days. Meanwhile, my phone is 4 years old and was obsolete when I got it. It can hardly make calls these days. I need a new one...
