| 6:34pm | Evirus on Saki |  | | | Karmaburn: I dropped Saki after two episodes because I don’t know crap about mahjong so it confused the Bejeesus out of me. Now he knows how I feel about baseball shows. Only I get it worse, because there are lots of them. A game without discernable rules or purpose; I deduced that they obviously... |
| 5:58pm | Last Exile ends | | | | Last Exile opened here before the “NO-GONZO” policy was installed, so I grandfathered it. I’m still of two minds about finishing it. Last Exile is painfully GONZO, especially by the end when the typical wink-wink, pay-no-attention-to-problems, everything-is-resolved-outside -the-frame... |
| 4:15am | Lucky Star v.6 | | | | I received the last volume from RACS a few days ago, but only unpacked it now. And what do you know, the cover is from The Best Episode. If everything goes well, this is the last show that I bought in singletons, ever. DiGiKerot reminded by e-mail that without the OVA my collection is not technically... | | |
| 6:58am | Jessi on Tayutama | | | | By now I already know what to expect, and Jessi does not disappoint: I should have known that I had gotten too far this season without watching one of these nasty little throwaway eroge shows. It’s not all recycled vocabulary though. Here’s some choice abuse heaped on the hapless show and... |
| 6:29am | Macross Frontier 25 and such | | | | At the last club meeting of the semester, I watched Macross Frontier 25, some Nodame Paris-hen (about 09, I guess), and Shuffle 03. Every time I watch Mac F, it makes a big impression. It’s definitely not a series for me, there’s too much stuff going on, and then the unresolved triangle... | | |
| 4:45am | Kadokawa YouTube this week | | | | Only one episode of Haruhi-chan was posted this week, #25. In it, KyotoAni continues to screw with fans. I really don’t feel like posting every week only to belittle the show, since it’s certainly good for what it is: giving a stiff competion to Adventures of Mini-Goddess. On the other hand,... |
| 10:22pm | Jason vs. Don | | | | I’m not sure if anyone cares, but for some reason Jason and Don decided to talk about vapid DVD reviews on ANN simultaneously. While Don stayed on topic, Jason went tl;dr how DVD reviews are bad in general And failed to mention the name of Chris Beveridge. Didn’t fit the narrative? BTW,... |
| 5:43pm | JP’s investigative journalism | | | | Reading how Ledford tries to prevent stakeholders of his failed companies from hurting his new projects is quite amusing. It’s amost as good as reading the HardOCP reporting on Phantom (just not quite as extensive and has no pictures of the appartment in question). Seriously though, I cannot see... |
| 4:55pm | Jessi on K-ON | | | | Let’s see if the reviewer who awarded “moeblob tripe” to Saki gets her act together: Okay, sorry to put it so bluntly, but I am officially tired of Kyoto Animation and their talent being wasted on throwaway moe stuff. [] Though I may have issues with some aspects of the story, Full... | | |
| 12:41am | We interrupt our anime broadcast | | | | Via a forum thread come news that ULA now officially lists an Atlas V based GX (Galaxy Express). And to think that I wrote it off. Now that’s what I call persistency in the face of adversity. |
| 7:52pm | VIZ J-center in SF takes shape | | | | Via Gia come the news that the VIZ center that we mentioned in 2007 is on track to open in August. She has a picture and a few more details: The 20,000 square foot building is located in San Francisco’s Japantown and features five floors. The basement floor will feature VIZ Cinema, which will... |
| 7:30pm | Evirus on Hatsukoi advocacy | | | | Karmaburn: I’ve still had very limited success convincing people to begin watching Hatsukoi Limited. He himself admits that the biggest unknown is the ending and the ghost of School Rubmbe. No wonder nobody wants to invest into the show that’s likely to crash to the ground with the next... |
| 5:57pm | Aroduc on Nagasarete Airantou | | | | After having to resort to my immense willpower to complete ep.1, I went to check the final write-up on Tenka Seiha. Behold: It started out very well, high production values all around, some great jokes, and even eventually a teaser that this Romantic Comedy would actually have a smidgeon of romance.... | | |
| 5:06pm | DiGiKerot’s Unfunny v.6 issue.10 | | | | Cartoon violence makes me laugh. When I hear “audition” in quasy-anime context, I think about a dude in glasses with an agenda I hedge here to exclude the auditions for the role of Hitler in “Producers”. |
| 4:53pm | A small clarification | | | | One small thing that everyone seem to miss in the debate is that I have never seen an episode of K-ON. I wished it turned out like Manabi, but I don’t know, so I made no claims about it. Besides, K-ON only posted 5 episodes, so nobody knows what’s planned except the director. In Manabi the... | | |
