| 9:59pm | Gendou.com’s nerdiness-increasing game |  | | | Gendou has come out with a Hangman game that uses anime songs in its database as the secret words. If you get stuck, you can get hints (like the name of the artist or anime that it’s from.)I guess I didn’t realize how massive Gendou’s database was, ’cause after a half hour of... |
| 12:52am | Attack of the Evangelion Chibis! |  | | | Moonphase reported on a new 3-episode web-broadcast Evangelion OVA and it has chibi Shinji. *nosebleed* Anyway, it’s due out sometime this fall, and it’ll be packed with Rei glomping Shinji and Misato and everything an Eva fangirl could want I hope.EDIT: From what I could translate on the... |
| 12:22am | Anime screencaps and more |  | | | Y’know when you get majorly bored and you need something relatively productive to do, but you don’t feel like really using your brain to do it, and you desire to emit happy squeals every few seconds? That’s when I go on screencap rampages. Below are links to my Photobucketed happy... | | |
| 5:39pm | Extra of the Week: Quit hating on Kaidoku Funou |  | | | As a rabid Code Geass fangirl, I am familiar with the second OP, ‘Kaidoku Funou’ by Jinn. I don’t really get, however, why so many fans hate it as a Code Geass OP. The song made it onto the Oricon top 10 chart, so it’s not like the song sucks. So why do anime fans bash this song... | | |
| 5:19pm | Dramacon review - Vol. 1-2 |  | | | Purists, take note: Dramacon is an OEL manga done right. It shines alongside its Japanese counterparts thanks to an intense blend of drama, romance and comedy. Svetlana Chmakova’s first full-length manga didn’t get my attention for a while, but I’m glad I eventually read it. Christie... |
| 3:48pm | Fullmetal Alchemist anime boxsets coming soon! |  | | | Coming out a full year after the movie’s North American release is FMA episodes 1-16 in a BOXSET!!!! I have been waiting for this since I first got into the series, because who can afford to buy 13 volumes of an anime anymore? $20 per volume times 13 = $260. Also, they’re starting to release... | | |
| 1:32am | 500 hits + IRL updates |  | | | + First of all, Borderline Hikikomori is currently at 496 hits and since i’ll probably get 30 or so hits overnight, I’ll go ahead and say “THANK YOU!!!!” right now! Thanks everyone, and keep enjoying my baby project! + There were no updates on Friday because I was very lazy,... | | |
| 10:01pm | Code Geass review - ep. 1-4 |  | | | If you haven’t heard of Code Geass by now, you’ve either been living under a rock or you’re not an anime nerd. (If it’s the latter, then why are you reading this post?!?) Code Geass is probably the most well-known mecha series produced in recent history (meaning the past 2 or... | | |
| 9:24pm | ZOMG FTA Scanlation group taking a break |  | | | After a month long delay in their attempted English scanlation of Fullmetal Alchemist chapter 73, ‘ZOMG Fruit Tree Alchemists’ is taking a long break. They announced on their homepage that both members of the project will not be translating anything for a few months, though they will still... |
| 1:03pm | D.N. Angel review - vol. 3-4 |  | | | For my review of volumes 1 and 2, click here By the end of volume 2, D.N. Angel was starting to look like a decent series. With volume 3 and 4, though, it begins to turn into a great series. Volume 3 has more love polygon antics, with Daisuke FINALLY realizing he likes Riku on St. White’s Day.... | | |
| 6:42pm | Fullmetal Alchemist review - vol. 1-2 |  | | | With the recent volumes making it onto the USA Today top 150 booklist, one must wonder how this series started off. Even though it’s Hiromu Arakawa’s first work ever, it’s amazingly good. It improves over time, though; the first two volumes aren’t quite as good as the rest of... | | |
