A follow-up on upcoming anime dates and stuff: Kyo-Ani’s Clannad series is due out October 4th, to air on TBS around 2am on Thursdays. (ETA: Canned Dogs notes that this means we won’t be seeing any Haruhi season two in ‘07, which is a good point - my guess is spring ‘08.)

Taiho Shichauzo: Full Throttle (a.k.a. You’re Under Arrest’s new season) is also starting on October 4th at around 1:30am on BS-i.

The next season of xxxHOLiC has been announced, and Moon Phase says that there are staff and cast changes, but doesn’t say what they are just yet no changes - my bad, I misread.

Moon Phase also reports that an Ah! My Goddess TV special, Ah! My Goddess - Tatakau Tsubasa (that’s Fighting Wings), is in the works. As near as I can tell, this special bears the same name as a Dreamcast quiz game back in ‘98. The special is meant to celebrate the series’ 20th anniversary. It also sounds like they’re trying to get Hiroaki Gouda, who directed the original 1993 OVA, to direct this, but it’ll be up to him.
