| 5:16pm | Kotona Elegance | | | | Almost every day, I would suggest to Kotona that she wear a lab coat. I hear the screams out there reacting to the foolishness of the idea of covering up such a sweet body, but there’s something mysterious about Kotona and the lab coat plays to that — there’s a story behind her eyes.... |
| 9:36pm | Aquarion, LOL | | | | I can see why Funimation chose Aquarion to test the season box-set release instead of releasing it the traditional one volume at a time. Aquarion has names behind it that anime fans in the US recognize like Shoji Kawamori and Yoko Kanno, so Funimation can market the show. Who doesn’t like Yoko... |
| 7:58pm | Pretty Slayer Akatsuki Mishiro | | | | Every school has many of the same cliques and every student including Akatsuki Mishiro involuntarily belonged to one. You can tell a lot about a student’s life by where they can sit in the cafeteria, she said, but in spite of all the cosmetic differences among them, really most of them were all... | | |
| 8:45pm | Distance between Imagination and Reality | | | | Some of you regulars probably know about the figure photo book I’m putting together. I’ve got this picture in my head of how I want it to look and what I wanted it to be. Sitting here at my computer trying to put it all together, it’s amazing how far away that image is from the... |
| 2:23pm | Saya Kind of Sucks in the First Half of Blood+ | | | | I burned through the first half of Blood+. Normally, it takes me forever and a day to get around to watching a box set. If I go the collected box set route, it usually means I didn’t find it worthy enough to spend the extra money to get the initial single volume releases. So box sets are... | | |
| 4:55pm | Aau, Makoto Sawatari | | | | Makoto Sawatari is kind of annoying, but I like her. I’m still only four or five episodes into Kanon (2006), so I don’t really know the story that she can’t remember. Too bad ADV had a hiccup which has messed up the distribution and delivery dates for a little bit, but should be... | | |
| 4:28pm | Kino Is a Traveler | | | | Kino is a traveler. Shouldn’t we all be? Maybe not literally. No one I know takes time to learn about the place where they live. Like when I lived in Philadelphia, as far as I can tell, 99% of the people who live there never visited the Liberty Bell until family from out of town came to visit... |
| 9:42pm | Nadie, El Cazador | | | | Nadie let the man run down the ravine at full speed. A wake of dust that his feet kicked up from the dry riverbed trailed in the moonlight as he ran. He stumbled and kept going on all fours, using his hands, like an animal for who standing up straight asked too much of his spine. The sight and sound... | | |
| 3:36pm | Doujin Poll Results | | | | Thanks for voting. I’m going to go ahead and put a figure photo collection together. I wanted to see if fifteen people would buy one. From the poll I think there’s a decent chance that would happen. I know a 20-page book is over-priced at $11, but for low print volumes it’s almost... |
| 1:41am | HS Figure Photos Doujin | | | | Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post’s poll. |
| 7:10pm | Begins Simoun | | | | I didn’t know much about Simoun before putting it in my queue other than it was mystical sci-fantasy, had some yuri affection, and pretty character designs. While Simoun has set things up in a way for some convenient yuri action, it looks like the show has a lot more going for it than some good... | | |
| 2:44pm | Tsuruya on Valentine’s Day | | | | “So wait,” said Tsuruya. “You’re posting pictures of an eight inch statue on your blog for Valentine’s Day?” Tsuruya didn’t earn the nickname LOL-tan for nothing. I’d probably be laughing too if I wasn’t the one posting the pictures. Anyway,... | | |
| 3:02pm | Venus Versus Virus, Yeah I Know | | | | I’d been making fun of Venus Versus Virus for a little bit, so I felt compelled to put it in my Netflix queue. VVV is the story of Sumire and Lucia who fight viruses (demon type things), but Sumire has an uncontrollable power that could cause her to turn on her mentor, Lucia. From watching... | | |
| 6:27pm | Saber, Kiritsugu in Black | | | | Kiritsugu waited on the rooftop for several hours into nighttime. He kept his back against the wall, hidden from the street and out of sight from those in the building on the opposite side. Saber stood guard, but he planned not to use her. Kiritsugu had a rifle and a night vision scope. Twelve grams... | | |
| 6:01pm | Finished 009-1 | | | | At first, 009-1 looked like it would be an action oriented spy story, lots of gadgets, infiltration missions, and spy duels. At least, that was the impression I got from the first DVD. The series changes tempo for the rest, slowing down into something more blue that’s worth it if you can take... | | |
