| 5:11am | [Game Review] Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier (DS) |  | | | Haven’t written one of these (or, in general, lol) in a while. First, the tl;dr translation and some numbers: Storytelling Narrative: 6/10 Characters: 9/10 Setting/world: 5/10 Gameplay Battle system & controls: 10/10 Interface: 9/10 Difficulty: 9/10 Presentation Visuals: 8/10 Audio: 7/10 Localization:... | | |
| 8:04am | Akikan might be horrible to watch, but… | | | | Watching Moogy and Shu watch and mock it in IRC was actually rather amusing, much more than the show itself. If I didn’t know any better, I’d say that the show seems quite entertaining! [01:39] NP: [CoalGuys]_Akikan_-_03_[7BDE94 EB].mkv [01:39] GOGOGO [01:39] * Shu 14»»7 MPClassic... | | |
| 2:47am | Winter 09 Impressions II | | | | White Album: The second episode is some improvement, but probably not enough of one to convince me to continue watching this series. I guess I should’ve known better after the first. Ride Back: Definitely a well-executed enough first episode to make me want to continue watching. The CG isn’t... |
| 6:09am | Winter 09 impressions, week one! | | | | Maria Holic: Somewhat amusing. It kind of reminds me of Ouran, but with shitty Shinbo shenanigans slapped on. This can go either way, and I’ll keep track of it for a bit - it’s not every day you see a trap and his maid blackmailing a lesbian at an all-girl school. Akikan: I hope this didn’t... |
| 6:52am | For the love of God, do not watch Akikan. | | | | I guess I never got around to finishing the end-of-year awards stuff. Oh well, I couldn’t think of anything else to say really.More importantly, spare yourself time and mental anguish and don’t watch Akikan. That is all. |
| 6:46am | Awards 2008: The Pretty Award | | | | Prettiest animation of 2008: Kara no Kyoukai It has been said of this series of movies, “You can use any frame as a wallpaper.” This is no exaggeration. Kara no Kyoukai wins this award by a ridiculously large margin, and I can’t imagine anyone with a functional pair of eyes disagreeing.... | | |
| 4:14am | Awards 2008: Love/Hate | | | | Love/Hate Award: Code Geass R2. The general impression of Code Geass R2 seems to be a negative one. It definitely has its shortcomings, to be sure: unnecessary and uninteresting story arcs, excessive nonsensical spontaneity, and so forth. Yet, it manages to accomplish what every work of art seeks to... | | |
| 5:39am | Roxas’ 2008 Awards | | | | I’ve been kind of lacking inspiration lately, but this is something pretty easy to do. Let’s see if I can keep it up all the way to the end. Every day from now on until I exhaust my reserve of ideas, I’ll be giving one or more shows some form of “XY of 2008″ award. (I will... |
| 9:53pm | Election Day Photos! | | | | My polling place was the high school across the street from my house. OBEY Yep, I made it to the right place.Hooray for clear directions! The friendly people checking off names. (They also informed me that no photography was allowed past this point.)At long last, my voucher for free ice cream. |
| 6:15am | Housekeeping: I’ve added some banners. | | | | I’ve added some banners to my rotation thingy. Here are the new additions (slightly shrunk to fit) so you don’t need to refresh a billion times to see all of them. (Hell, who am I kidding, nobody’s been here enough times to have seen all of the existing ones anyway.) |
| 4:26am | How Code Geass R2 *should have* ended. | | | | This is awesome and amazing. Spoilers, obviously, and possibly some NSFW ads for those of you who are behind the times and don’t have adblock in your browser. | | |
| 5:47am | Fall 08, continued. (Also, bonus Sheryl wallpaper) | | | | Nodame Paris: Thoroughly entertaining, just as its predecessor and the live-action version were. Tytania: I love both historical aristocratic Europe and awesome space battles, and so I was expecting a lot out of this. Unfortunately, it felt pretty generic and forced. I’ll keep up with it a little... |
| 5:57am | Fall 08 stuff. | | | | New season yaaaaay. Quick impressions. Tales of the Abyss: I’ve never played the game, but nonetheless this seems promising. It might be leaning a little too far towards the “generic fantasy” side, but I’ll take that given the relative dearth of decent fantasy series in recent... |
| 6:26am | Concerning Code Geass’ themes (a couple of them, anyway) | | | | After finishing Code Geass, I had this nagging feeling that many of the show’s themes and plot points seemed awfully familiar. After thinking about it a bunch, I’ve assembled my thoughts into, well, this post. Code Geass presents a number of questions asked of main characters intellectually... | | |
