| 2:29pm | Is Ponyo a Classic? |  | | | As quoted by Don, Jonathan writes: I had to drive over 20 miles to reach a theater that was showing Ponyo. Meanwhile, every single theater in the area is showing another Disney movie about violent, flatulent guinea pigs. Now of course, Disney knows a lot about marketing animated films, and I’m sure... |
| 7:56pm | Dear Lelangir | | | | Please stop using the permalink-free mechanism for sharing and throw the links somepleace which I can refer to give you a credit. Why should I give the Google juice that you deserve to Google itself? Today I appreciate the links to the key part of Naruto 64 (which I blogged before, but the video is... | | |
| 6:47pm | Honey and Clover S1 | | | | Seen the first half of Honey and Clover at Hulu. The biggest impression is, Hulu sucks enormously. You can tell that it’s made by incumbents. Firstly, what the heck is with only having the first half? It makes even less sense than posting the first half of Vandread. Secondly, pausing the stream... | | |
| 8:35pm | Hidamari Sketch H3 | | | | Gia says that the 3rd season of Hidamari is in the works, although it’s unclear what her source is. Its title is spelled “Hidamari Sketch×☆☆☆” and pronounced “Hidamari Sketch Hoshimittsu”. | | |
| 4:55am | R(Shingu) := 5 | | | | I look down on people “twittering” or “liveblogging” their anime runs because it is virtually guaranteed to be a weak substitute for humor (Jason, I’m looking at you). In fact I never saw a dump with anything interesting, not even once. Yet, in an e-mail discussion yesterday... | | |
| 3:04am | Damien on ED of GA:GADC | | | | Moe Check: It does keep my mind off the spectacle of Baby Noda humping the teddy bear. |
| 10:22pm | A.N.Nina on moeblobs | | | | I think she’s making fun of Potemayo and herself. The simple pleasures of catching up to Nina, I really should make sure to check it out no more often than twice a year. |
| 6:03am | BD sales in Japan are 50% anime | | | | This is just what John reports: GfK Marketing Services Japan reports that more than 50% of the money Japanese consumers spent to purchase Blu-ray discs during the first half of 2009 went to anime discs. What about other countries? |
| 5:59am | The manga cafe in SF closes | | | | As Deb Aoki (a U.S. manga industry personality) reports (via), the only Japan-style manga cafe in SF Japantown closes after a short stint in business. I think Deb is right that there very, very few people in America who would read manga in Japanese. Tangentially, I think shop “On The Bridge”... |
| 4:42am | Poke | | | | I don’t have much time and I have a choice of either blogging or watching another episode of Shingu. BTW, Hachyo is holding a combo that includes the tube. |
| 5:14pm | Brickmuppet needs urgent help w/Tokyo | | | | Brickmuppet is asking if it’s possible to cash A Western Union Money Order in Tokyo. Apparently he managed to get stuck in there without money and he has one of the black and yellow things. Sounds like a set-up for a Megatokyo-like cartoon, but is sadly real. If Meenuvia’s comment system... |
| 5:03pm | KyotoAni hates seyuu too | | | | It was said that KyotoAni hates Haruhi and its fans. But apparently they hate seyuu too: Sankaku Complex links to an appearance Hirano made — though I don’t think the quote in the headline is a potentially misleading translatin. What she actually says is “yatteru hou yori miteru hou... |
| 4:48pm | Mysterious Zyl | | | | Zyl asks (on the old, non-joint blog): P.S. Have been ruminating over the following two posts for a while and I’ve had an epiphany. Yeah, slowpoke.jpg but still The only connection between Marimite and Taishou Yakyuu Musume that I see is that Mamiko Noto is in both. Maybe the epiphany was that... |
| 6:06am | Praise to Bandai at Anime Diet | | | | Ray, apparently a co-blogger of the other Mike of animeblogging, announces to the world, under the title “Thank you very much Bandai!!!”: Bandai Channel to Stream Anime in U.S., Eurasia at Start of 2010 NAMCO Bandai company switches to Flash to stream first Gundam in Japan launch a distribution... |
| 9:01pm | Evirus’ Pretty Cure bend | | | | He keeps posting, but all I can say, the lead screencap is prettier this time than in the previous instances (e.g. rebar in the face). Can’t say anything else, his posts on PreCure are opaque for anyone who’s not watching it too. Maybe it’s Sailor Moon where Venus bashes everyone with... |
