Beautiful header from Suarez. Congrats to Uruguay. Cannot wait for the start of the football season.
Spring/Summer 11 Anime
Haven’t posted here in awhile. Been lazy. Not promising consistent post.
Here are my Spring 11/Summer 11 Anime that I liked.
Spring 11
- Tiger & Bunny
- Steins;Gate
Summer 11
- Mawaru Penguindrum
- Natsume S3
In closing, Legend of the Galactic Heroes is probably one of the best things I’ve watched.
Great Commentator :)
My Choice for Liverpool’s Next Manager
When Roy Hodgson “leaves” the team whether it is soon or next season (I have a feeling that he will be staying for this season unless the team continues losing), my replacement would be Andre Villas Boas.
Andre Villas Boas is in his first year manager at FC Porto, and he is only 33. He is right now undefeated with Porto and the team look set into winning the Portuguese League. He is a guy that has no professional football playing experience and was once an assistant for Jose Mourinho. Some people consider him the next Mourinho. The slight problem is that he does not have much managing experience except for this year, and he just recently extended his contract at Porto until 2013. However, contracts kind of meaningless in today’s football world. If NESV wants a young, tactical manager, Andre Villas Boas is a very good choice.

Roy Hodgson and Jed York Needs To Go
Roy Hodgson is a low level manager that cannot beat a last place team with the team making no improvement in sight. Liverpool should have hired a Pelligrenni or something. At least it would be attacking football if nothing worse.
Jed York is an owner that does not know anything about football. Hiring Trent Balke as your GM after saying you will do a national GM search. Terrible. Both Liverpool and 49ers rosters and staff suck with no hint of positive in sight.

Everything Else Looks Bad
In other news, Fate/Zero has been given a green-lit with ufotable as the animation studio. I have a feeling this will end up being like 4 movie/ova ala Kara no Kyoukai. Also, Girls’ Work, future Type-Moon VN, will also get an anime animated by ufotable.
