The world of animanga provided me with much WTFery today. Some of which was good WTFery, but still...
- In April, an excerpt from the 10th Haruhi Suzumiya novel will be published in a Japanese magazine.
Yes, the 10th novel actually appears to be seeing the light of day sometime soon. Wonders never cease.But where will I go to look for fan translations of it, now the last site got pulled down?
- So, apparently there is an "American Manga" written by Gene Simmons' son (!). Nothing special, right? Well, apparently large chunks of it were inspired, copied and downright traced from a number of notable manga, Bleach most obviously. Cue epic shitstorm.
ETA: Now also on Fandom Wank.
I don't even read Bleach (though I know some people on my flist do), I'm just boggling that he thought he could get away with something that blatant. I mean look at the comparisons. That's not even subtle plaigarising.
In other news, I am attempting to get myself back on a remotely normal sleeping pattern before my classes start up again. Because, well, I fortunately don't have any 9am starts. But there are always morning classes. Joy.

And I looove Fakir. But yes, he's a bit of jerk to start off with.ILU NEKO-SENSEI!
Ahiru is made of adorable and win.
The shop I'm thinking of has the China/HK stuff. There's another one in the CBD that has stuff from Malaysia, but I've heard rumours about some of the subs there being really bad. Which may explain how they can sell shows that aren't even on DVD in Japan yet.
