| 5:00am | Happy 1 Year Anniversary Epic Win! | | | | Hard to believe that it’s already been a full year since Guff and I first set up digs here, our humble abode at www.epicwin.org. It’s been a long and somewhat rocky path, as I’m sure is evidenced by our post count in recent months, but all in all we don’t regret one second of... | | |
| 6:45am | Code Geass - Trainwrecking with Style | | | | OH GEASS NO!! When Guff and I awarded Code Geass with the “Trainwreck of the Year” award in our 2007 Anime Awards Show, many people took offense, rushing to defend what they claimed was an excellent show worthy of greater respect. At the time, I tried my best to explain that our labelling... | | |
| 6:04am | Anime Expo 2008 Photos | | | | The Vocaloid Squad With a great concert, good food, and lots of events and interesting cosplay, the remainder of AX proved to be an exceptionally fun time, if a bit tiring. Unfortunately, my main Compact Flash card malfunctioned midway through day 2 of the con, so I lost most of the pictures from that... | | |
| 8:46pm | Anime Expo 2008 - Day 1 | | | | This year’s Anime Expo, although not nearly as exciting as last year’s all star guest appearances by Halko Momoi, Ishikawa Chiaki, Nagahama Hiroshi, and Hirano Aya & Co., has nevertheless been as crazily entertaining as ever. From guest discussion panels to anime music videos to wacky... | | |
| 5:31am | Travels in Japan, Anime Expo, and Lazy Bloggers | | | | It was the most epic of times, it was the worst of times. Indeed, despite our greatest aspirations to the contrary the blog has somewhat fallen into disrepair as real life continues to rear its ugly head. At least, that’s my story, and I’m sticking to it. The truth is, Guff, in his infinite... |
| 6:52am | Kurenai | | | | I enjoy a narrative when it doesn’t feel compelled to proclaim itself. I feel sort of molly coddled at best and annoyed at worst when a story lays out the plot like some kind of Lego instructional manual. Just let me put the pieces together on my own, all right? I can make the pirate ship... | | |
| 5:00am | Top Ten Reasons Behind The Disappearance of Epic Win | | | | Breaking news! The sudden disappearance of superstar bloggers 0rion and Guff over two months ago had left the anime blogosphere in a state of shock, and theories abounded regarding the whereabouts of the former tag team blogging duo. Today we bring you breaking headline news to report on the status... |
| 6:30am | Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei 2 | | | | Porororon poro roro roporon ron! “This episode is full of kanji and makes me tired.”.Cha chiri chiririn, docchudocchurin! “Yes, I agree heartily, good sir.” .Miri kiriri rururin mirurun mirakuru mikurunrun! “It also contained many obscure puns that most English speaking... | | |
| 7:30am | Engrish T-Shirts | | | | It’s been a while since our last humorous entry, and we haven’t talked about Japan much since our post about Junky Healthy Taco Rice and other fun Engrish stuff, so we thought a good way to kill two birds with one stone would be to show you guys some of the funny Engrish-style T-shirts those... | | |
| 6:30am | Spice and Wolf 2 - Not as Good as the Original | | | | OK, time to nitpick. Having read the first of the Ookami to Koushinryou novels, as well as read a bit of the manga, it is now my contractual obligation to tell you how the anime sucks and is nothing like the original, which is of course a paragon of excellence, prosaic and beautiful in ways this adaptation... | | |
| 6:15am | Aria the Origination 2 | | | | Aria banzai! Donuts banzai! Like pie and ice cream, like Alicia and “Ara ara”, like Akari and embarrassing comments, the gentle strains of Makino Yui’s beautiful singing go together perfectly with the beginning of an Aria episode. The whole concept of the “OP-that’s-not-an-... | | |
| 2:00am | Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei 1 | | | | How I’ve missed Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei! The winter anime season doesn’t look like it’s going to be very strong on comedy shows, and Hayate no Gotoku has been kind of going downhill recently, so I’m extremely pleased that I’ll once again have the ever despairing Itoshiki-sensei... | | |
| 11:00am | Kaiji 12 to 14 - See You On the Other Side | | | | Oh my God, is that a woman in a Kaiji episode?! What has the world come to?? Up is down, left is right, J.C. Staff is KyoAni!! Hmm, well at least I think that’s supposed to be a woman, anywayI dunno, Guff? What’s your expert opinion? While the skirt and sweater vest may seem indicative of... | | |
| 10:00am | Shakugan no Shana Is BACK! | | | | Finally finally finally FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY after dicking around with filler arcs and side stories for what seemed like an eternity, they finally get around to the good part of the story. And thank goodness, because it is good indeed. I’ve been waiting to see this scene animated for a long,... | | |
