Anime/Manga 2013 calendars!!
Anime/Manga 2013 calendars!!
Yep, it's once again THAT time of the year XD And as usual, I am outstanded at the sight of the calendars covers previews and descriptions appearing out of the blue: one day there is close to no info, the next, you've got a whole listing of hundreds of them!
You can see them all right here: Yesasia anime 2013 calendar listing.
I always prefer the calendars with manga art over the ones with anime art, actually, the only ones with anime art I've ever purchased were the Tsubasa Chronicle ones (2 of them in 2006/2007? or something like that...)
(right side: desktop calendar, left side: wall calendar)
This year though, I've fallen in love with...Sword Art Online!! I've been very much enjoying it, each episode has been really entertaining so far, and from what I've spoiled myself (I couldn't resist), it seems like the events to come shall be as great if not better than now ^^ Anyway, no matter what, it can't be as bad as this year, with the Pandora Heart calendar, which I only went close to when I needed to change the months' pages... The one thing bothering me about the SAO calendar is that there are only 7 pages (=2 months per page) while I like it better when there are 12; the other thing is that while I really enjoy the anime, but the artworks of the calendar might end up being a big fiasco or simply not be what I expect from it, I saw it happen too many times with other series not to take this in account seriously...so while I actually already pre-ordered it, my decision might possibly change depending on what preview pictures I might see before the release date.
About the Clamp 2013 desktop calendar, for now, the only preview we've got is a random picture from Clamp FES, does it mean there are going to be new illustrations related to the festival? Or is it truly a totaly random picture they just put there while the real cover becomes available later on?
As for my choice of desktop calendar, no surprise: for the 4th year in a row, it's Kiki's Delivery Service!! I can't get enough of those, each year I looks forward to which design we will be getting, and this year too, they made something so cute! They called it Cappuccino Art, and the calendar pages are the surface of the cup, just like coffee art! XD
