| 12:17pm | BECK Live Action Movie?! HELL YEA! | | | | I’ve said this before, and I’ll say this again. BECK is awesome; The anime is, and so is the manga. The music rocks, despite the Engrish. Ever since I watched the anime, I have always hoped for a live action adaptation of it, be it a movie or a drama series. Of course, a non-Hollywood adaptation.... | | |
| 5:32pm | So Much For Otakus Being The Loyal Bunch | | | | A long time ago, I remember reading a top 10 list about why geeks, otakus included, are good boyfriends. Loyalty was one of factors mentioned. I used to believe that it could truly be applied to majority of the otaku crowd, but all it took was just a single episode to change that, totally. While I don’t... |
| 6:09pm | The Feeling Of Being Drenched In Cold Rain | | | | This band has been the cold rain that has been pouring down on me. 凛として時雨 (Ling Toshite Sigure). The refreshing chills sent down my spine and throughout my body, they are awesome. Before I begin, listen to these.If you can see this, then you might need a Flash Player upgrade or you need... |
| 4:09am | Q & A | | | | Just by the title, I never would have guessed that this would be the latest piece of work by Adachi Mitsuru. What does the title mean anyway? Question and Answer? As usual, the art’s the same old stuff. Those who prefer modern day moe art wouldn’t be able to appreciate this and complain... |
| 5:47pm | Kasujiruzu: An Interesting Trio | | | | The reason why I’ve decided to mention 粕汁ず,a Japanese band which I spotted on Youtube while searching for Radwimps covers, is simple. These guys, and girl, simply adore the alter ego (味噌汁’s) of one of my favourite bands, and they all share the goal of performing together with... |
| 4:53pm | It Takes One To Know Another | | | | Don’t you agree with this statement? A few days back when we first met the group of Japanese students whom we were supposed to bring around during their stay in Singapore, I wore a Nerv shirt. We, refers to the group of students from the student exchange club who were participating in this program.... | | |
| 2:57pm | Meeting New Japanese Female Students Is Great, Yet A Torture | | | | Each time this happens, the process of meeting them is nice. But it’s just a fleeting dream. In case you were curious, a girl commented on the shirt and how she liked Evangelion, while the rest know of it too. Evangelion is mainstream in Japan, just like Pokemon and Doraemon. Hence, it’s... |
| 1:52pm | Greed In A Hobby | | | | When the topic of hobbies and interests is brought up, the most common thing that would come to mind is one word. Passion. Without it, one wouldn’t be splurging luxurious time on something one would title a hobby. When you invest something, it’s regularly logical that you would looking for... |
| 6:41am | UCC, I Give Up! My Compulsive Behaviour Ends Here | | | | You don’t even taste good anyway. Why are you releasing a new batch of Evangelion coffee cans? Oh, right It’s Evangelion. No one bothers about how you taste like. I’ve been trying to get a complete collection of the UCC Evangelion coffee ever since it was released nearly 2 years ago... |
| 9:10am | The K-ON! Girls And An Utterly Craptastic Performance | | | | Before episode 6, I was expecting that the school festival live performance would slightly salvage the already ‘meh’ image I had for K-ON!. It’s usually these live performances that make a music themed anime memorable, or so I thought. Just take a look at BECK, or even non-music related... | | |
| 5:35am | Nodame And Yui | | | | After hearing the hilarious tale of how The Sojourner was forced into playing the piano after his parents watched the Nodame Cantabile drama, it sparked my interest and I soon found myself watching the anime. After all, K-ON! alone isn’t enough to satisfy my appetite for music-themed anime since... | | |
| 1:48pm | How Long Before This Runs Out Of Stock? | | | | After this scene which lasted for less than a minute, let’s witness the power of Akiyama Mio’s Moe level. Surely she can influence the otaku crowd to spend on whatever she endorses, can’t she? With the power of her Moe Moe Kyun~, wallets will bleed rivers We’re talking about... |
| 4:10pm | Fate/Stay Virus? | | | | C.I has been nudging me to play the Fate/Stay Night visual novel since I can’t remember when, and he passed me a copy of the game nearly 2 months ago. I clearly forgot about it and never touched it, leaving the installation files sitting on my hard drive. It was until today when I decided to make... | | |
| 5:22pm | Hey K-ON!, While You’re At It, Endorse This Too | | | | We’ve all witnessed the “miracles” invoked by K-ON!, such as a surge in the sales of a certain left-handed Fender Japan Bass model via the brainwashing of otaku minds, and Fender Japan laughing all the way to the bank. Should I be envious of the wealth or the loaded customers who bought... |
| 5:21pm | MOE Poisoning | | | | I see Moe as a substance that is consumed for sinful pleasure. It’s like all the junk food out there. Much of that, but not all, tastes pretty good, but too much of it would just lead to some sort of addiction to it. Soon, you’ll find yourself deciding to shun as much of the other stuff... | | |
