| 9:29pm | Okay, Who Asked for More Jupiter? | | | | The Tokyo Game Show was something which happened a couple of weeks ago, which aside from meaning that this was something that I really should have posted two weeks ago, meant that Bamco released a new PS3 iM@S2 PV to coincide with the various promotional events they held over the weekend. There’s... |
| 8:32pm | Mikan Watch #55:Highschool of the Dead | | | | Continuing the trend of spotting these things in shows which I wouldn’t expect, this one comes from the fifth episode of Highschool of the Dead. One of the few shots in the show which isn’t saturated with anything remotely resembling egregious service too, which is just as well given the... |
| 10:54pm | Beta-Waffle 6th Anniversary | | | | This fortnights excuse for not posting much is that I’ve been hopelessly addicted to playing Xenoblade on the Wii, the game presently most infamous for being that one which Nintendo of America decided wasn’t worth releasing (though it is out here in Europe). It’s one of those games... |

| 8:53pm | Mikan Watch #54: K-On! | | | | From Volume 3 of the Yen Press print of K-On!, though I guess I may be being a little presumptuous here. It’s not the first time I’ve noted such things being translated, but on this occasion I don’t own a Japanese copy to refer back to in order to ensure I’m correct. Honestly,... |
| 8:43pm | Mikan Watch #53: Mawaru Penguindrum | | | | This one comes from Calaggie (who gets bonus Waffle points for sporting a Ritsuko icon) on the Twitters, taken from episode 6 of Mawaru Penguindrum. Seizon Senryaku and all that. Speaking of Ikuhara, I’ve been watching Utena recently, thanks to the Rightstuf/Nozomi re-release that’s presently... |
| 9:43pm | A Brief Post About Product Placement | | | | I’m about three weeks too late to jump on the Product Placement Is Bad, Mmkay talk that was on the Twitters a short while back, no doubt fuelled by the fact that Bunny recently found a new sponsor for his right arm (or was it his left?). Anyway, I’d like to present a brief thought exercise... | | |
| 5:25pm | Proving Myself (Slightly) Right… | | | | People mocked me (not really). They said I was wrong (but not, since I never explicitly mentioned it here). They called me crazy (for entirely unrelated reasons), but today I have proven myself correct-ish! I knew it was Lady, gosh-darnit! Still, I do wonder if the “We’re All Lady!!”... |
| 5:52pm | Random Wafflage: It’s under 4000!!! | | | | That’s how many copies Redline sold in it’s first week on sale in Japan – blu-ray and DVD combined, indications are that it sold a mere 3134 copies. That must be a bit of a downer for the staff who’ve spent the last seven years crafting possibly the most visually resplendent... | | |
| 6:58pm | Mikan Watch #52: Working!! | | | | From episode 8 of the soon-to-be-sequeled Working!! (Or Wagnaria!! if you are looking at the US boxart), from Yamadas fabulous penthouse apartment (or, rather, the loft-space above the restaurant). Yes, I realise it doesn’t actually say Mikan, but I’ve claimed far more ambiguous examples... |
| 9:08pm | Mikan Watch #51: 20th Century Boys | | | | Whilst this seasons crop of anime may be proving disappointing in the most important of aspects, thankfully my manga backlog is proving more fruitful, as this panel from the fourth volume of 20th Century Boys displays. Good series, that is. I wish I could say that this was me catching up with the huge... |
| 5:24pm | Mikan Watch #50: Dororon Enma-kun Meramera | | | | From episode well, Mr Shillito didn’t mention which when he submitted it over the Twitters, but I’m presuming it’s one of the later ones. In a curious twist of timing, NISA announced that they’ve picked up the US license for the show, even if it won’t likely see the light... |
| 3:43pm | Third iDOLM@STER PV online… | | | | Although I don’t have anything of significance to say about the video in question, I do feel, however, that in these times of low activity I am required break radio silence on occasion. Actually, there’s just not all that much to say about it. It does contain a snippet of the anime OP theme,... | | |
| 8:02pm | Beaten to Market… | | | | Gosh darn it, it would appear that I’ve spent a little too much time in Beta, and now all my years of hard work formulating what I believed to be a revolutionary product has been rendered for naught! Indeed, I think I might need to take another week off to get over this shock and adequately concoct... |
| 5:07pm | Unfunny Internet Meme Comics: Break Week | | | | As much as I’d like to say that I’ve been stricken with a nasty bout of con flu, I suspect my present affliction stems to events the day prior to MCM, when it was raining heavily enough in London to provoke me into buying an umbrella. This would have been my only sensible purchase of that... |
