| 5:52am | Day Zero Can’t Sleep | | | | I can’t usually sleep the night before a trip. My sister and I usually go to Otakon on Friday. The plan is for me to get to her place by 7:30AM so we can get to Baltimore by 10AM, spend a couple hours in line, buy a hot dog from a cranky vendor, and be in around noon. It never actually works... |
| 11:00am | Got Hacked | | | | On Wednesday my blog was hacked. It wasn’t a big deal, more of an annoyance, but it could have been worse (or it is in fact much worse and I just don’t know it yet). To get back online I deleted and then re-uploaded my Wordpress files via ftp. It was faster than trying to hunt down which... |
| 1:03pm | Riuva Figure Sale | | | | Looks like tj han from Riuva is moving and can’t take all his stuff with him. Check out his figure sale. He’s got a number of things that are out of production, so if you missed something the first time around, you might find it. Seems like prices are negotiable. Someone should snag those... |
| 12:54am | Wait For It, Yoko | | | | It was three, dark, quiet, and still. Yoko sighted a manimal climbing over the outer stone wall. She could have popped him off at any time, but she waited. The manimal landed on the ground and rolled into an area covered in shadow. The dust he kicked up hung in the moonlight for a long while. After... |
| 11:11pm | Catching Trains | | | | I don’t think I’ve seen any slice of life yuri shows, but from the first episode of Aoi Hana, it feels like a very typical one. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, particularly for those who are fans of this type of story. Aoi Hana uses the waking up for the first day of school opening,... | | |
| 7:35pm | Kuniko Isn’t Funny | | | | As much as I’m enjoying the slow unfold of details in Shangri-la, the attempts at humor bug me way more than its issues in plot and pacing. Anime directors love sudden inserts of humor in dramatic scenes and I’m usually down with it, I mean these shows are supposed to be amusing, but the... | | |
| 10:42pm | Battle Athletes Victory Revisited | | | | Whenever I start feeling a little blah towards anime, I rewatch a favorite from years past instead of trying to find something new. Being in the mood for something fluffy and ridiculous, it felt like a good time to revisit Battle Athletes Victory. It probably would sit next to all of the shows from... |
| 6:37pm | Haruhi Lands Twin Reverb | | | | A space heater that nobody was going to buy anyway was one thing. I could see an old shopkeeper parting with one for no apparent reason other than Haruhi wanting one, but this? Nobody gives away a Fender Twin Reverb. It’s expensive. I don’t know how she does it, but there it is in our club... |
| 12:51pm | Shigurui: Death Frenzy | | | | On a bleached out courtyard at Sunpu Castle, two men disfigured by a life of perpetual violence face off to bring sweet destruction to the other man. Shigurui: Death Frenzy then takes the viewer back to the beginning of the story in order to explain this moment. It is blood, guts, and brutality. Shigurui:... | | |

| 6:42pm | Nanjou Ran | | | | I’m the forgotten one. The one lost in the forest. The one who goes to what everyone else wants to do, but always winds up going alone to something that I care about. Maybe I don’t ask well enough, or what interests me nobody else cares about, or I just gave up asking. I’m insulating... |

| 3:56am | AnimeNEXT 2009 RPT | | | | Made it out to AnimeNEXT 2009, mainly to do an anime blogging panel with Omo, Moy, and SDS. I got there around quarter to four on Saturday to do a practice run before the panel on Sunday. The aforementioned, the duo from Reverse Thieves, Brad from Japanator, Kransom from Welcome Datacomp, Scott from... | | |

| 5:32pm | AnimeNEXT Blogging Panel | | | | Anyone out there planning to go to AnimeNEXT, there’s going to be a panel about anime blogging. Omo, Moy, SDS, and I will be on the panel. It’s Sunday at 2pm in Panel Room 1, yeah, I know – the butt-end, but still it should be good, or that’s the plan. If you’re thinking... |
