It’s time for all followers of Haruhiism to show their support for Haruhi, our one true God. Merriam-Webster is holding a Word of the Year poll for the top ten words of the year (why they would so something like this, I do not know.) Past winners have included such boring words as integrity, electoral, and marriage.

I say we do something new this year. I say that we get as many people as we can to vote for Haruhiism. Sure it may not be a real word in any dictionaries, but even they said that we were allowed to be creative with our choice.

“There are no rules here, so feel free to be creative. If your nomination hasn’t made it into the pages of the dictionary yet, this can be your way to let the Merriam-Webster editors know that it’s a word that deserves to be closely watched.”

Getting up to the top ten words will help spread Haruhiism to the non-believing infidels. Okay, I know I’m being very optimist about this, but might as well try. It will be more interesting then what would otherwise be one of the top ten words.

The link for the poll can be found here. If you’ve been living under a rock for most of 2006 and don’t know what Haruhiism is, I feel sorry for you. I don’t have a good link for it.

I’ve noticed a recent trend lately. A lot of projects involving Noizi Ito are getting turned into anime. Shakugan no Shana and The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi, both novels with Noizi Ito as their illustrator. I’m sure you know that both of those were turned into anime, with one of them becoming immensley, and perhaps creepily, popular.

Of course, that wasn’t some random observation. According to ikimashou, a new anime based on UnisonShift’s h-game Nanatsuiro*Drops. I really don’t know much about the game. I think it may have to deal with some kind of mahou shoujo type story. The game’s character designs are pretty good, though.

I wonder who is going to take charge of producing the anime. I only hope it is done at the same quality that The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi was done. Shakugan no Shana art was terrible. Compared to her art, the anime version looked bland and overall not very appealing.

As part of my latest shipment of manga, I got thee last volume of Galaxy Angel Beta. It ends the storyline that begun in the first volume of its predecessor. Now that they have returned Prince Shiva to the White Moon, they are now focused on getting rid of the threat that Prince Etruria poses to the Moon Goddess. Even though I enjoyed the volume, I always feel as though something is missing when I read Galaxy Angel.
