click the image to watch the video Hanako Takigawa is in the new CM of Aquarion, with the duet version of “Sousei no Aquarion” in the background. I could not decipher the details from here on. Anyone who could help us with who this person is? Kinda makes me think that they are making a live [...]

Well, some of you might not remember, but Sousei no Aquarion is getting an OVA, so what better to go with the OVA than a delicious pair of movies that come, timeline wise, directly before and after the OVA (I think they are to be shown together). Or, at least, I'm pretty sure they mean [...]
