It appears that a blog for Sheryl Nome from the new series Macross Frontier surfaced last week. So far nothing of real importance on the site, but fans might want to keep an eye on it.
The official website for The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi anime has updated its homepage, and now features Yuki instead of Haruhi, who has recently "disappeared". Also updated is the staff list for the second series, which lists director Tatsuya Ishihara and assistant director Yasuhiro Takemoto (both of whom worked on the first season) as returning. Keep your eyes peeled for the July issue of Newtype, as it is expected to contain more info on the whereabouts of Suzumiya Haruhi.

Hot off the heels of the recent Lucky Star OVA announcement and we're already presented with some delectible tidbits straight from the newest issue of Newtype. Apparently, the OVA will be based on the rivalry between Konata and the Animate store manager (Or "tenchou", according to Sankaku Complex ). On a similar note, Newtype has confirmed a drama cd set for release this summer. Manga Cafe Mika opened its doors to the Kintetsu Building in San Francisco's Japan Town in late April of 2008. The establishment follows a business model followed by the popular “manga cafes” popular in Japan. The basics are simple, the establishment has a private library of books that you pay to read by the hour. Some refreshments are available to order on the side while you read. Unlike most libraries, though, the books in manga cafes do not leave the store.
