| 1:46pm | This made my yesterday better. |  | | | By TheBigN Receiving this in the mail: It hasn’t even been five months since I was elated about RightStuf licensing ARIA, so to me, this is quick. Can’t wait for The NATURAL boxset to come out in the future. RightStuf is awesome. :3 | | |
| 9:24pm | TheBigN’s Crappy One/Two-Liner 2008 Fall Preview |  | | | As I’ve stated before, I haven’t done these things before because for most of the shows, I don’t know jack about them, so I thought there was no point. Well, I still think there’s no point in the matter, but because I can’t really think of anything else to post about for... | | |
| 7:27pm | Technology and Science in Gunbusuter |  | | | We Have the Technology: Aim for PhysicsBy Nomad(it’s education time)Otto and W-GeneralN)Science fiction, as distinct from other genres, is notable for its use and misuse of the language of science and technology, as much as it is for the setting. Of course, works of fiction bend the rules of nature... |
| 12:11pm | Thoughts on Hidamari Sketch x365 Episode 8: Fly Like An Eagle |  | | | By TheBigN(ooooooooooooooooo!) From my limited experiences in my 22 years of life, I’m always surprised by how sports take a hold of our lives. It tends to be an instant starting point of connection between people, a source of collective joy and agony, and probably one of the more politically... | | |
| 11:47am | Thoughts on Hidamari Sketch x365 Episode 7: One Step At A Time |  | | | By TheBigN(oodly Appendage) In life, there’s always an opportunity to get worked up, necessary or otherwise, about something, and so it often seems to be the case with Yuno. But as is most cases with our X’d protagonist, it’s understandable in this episode, as she begins her time... | | |
| 10:49pm | How Should I Feel… |  | | | When I see all of these posts by people talking about just starting school now or in the last week or so, considering that I’ve been in my second year med school since late July (without a break from working during the summer at that)? Or when considering the amount of others that are currently... |
| 4:49pm | Thoughts on Hidamari Sketch x365 Episode 6: Say |  | | | By TheBigN(ot my best stuff here) Communication between people is never 100% accurate, though we try our damndest to maximize it as much as we can. The sender and the receiver aren’t one and the same, so the message will always be interpreted a little bit differently to all of the participants.... | | |
| 12:57pm | Thoughts on Hidamari Sketch x365 Episode 5: Homecoming |  | | | By TheBigN(o U) It doesn’t hurt being the second oldest out of seven siblings, where you have loads of responsibility but not as much as the oldest one, but you still have a little leeway to get away with some things as the younger siblings do. At least that’s the situation that I found... |
| 2:44pm | Impressions on Otakon 2008: Can’t Wait Till Next Year |  | | | By TheBigN(o Border) Three posts in 24 hours on this blog is unheard of. But there’s a first time for everything, isn’t there? I decided to take a lazy approach to this (at the moment) last post about this year’s Otakon, which only ended a week and some days ago even though it already... |
| 4:49am | Money and Art |  | | | By Nomad(TWIST AWAY THE GATES OF STEEL)Otto There’s art, and then there’s the buisness of art. Art is about truth, beauty and associated Bull. Buisness is about making as much money as possible. There’s a fundamental tension between the two ends, and it’s this tension, which... |
| 1:20am | An anime-obsessive visits Paris |  | | | Hello from a new contributor to Drastic My Anime Blog, and thank you to TBN for inviting me to make a fool of myself here — dm.Wish I'd been there in time to catch this exhibit. I admit that looking for anime in Paris is a little silly: there’s so much else to see — much of it... |
| 6:35pm | Thoughts on Otakon 2008 Day 3: All FUN Things Come To Those Who End |  | | | By TheBigN(ever thought I’d do four posts in a week.) If the title didn’t make sense, it’s not supposed to.
