| 5:44am | Professor Discovers Yuri on the Chalkboard | | | | Today was supposed to be an unexciting Sunday spent studying for my neuroscience exam Tuesday but something surprising happened. I got a text message from one of my friends at about 7:15 pm telling me that he was at his computer science study session in the same room I host showings for my university’s... |
| 2:00am | Yuri on the Chalkboard Week 23 | | | | It’s that time again. For this week’s image I wasn’t really sure what to go with but in the end I decided on drawing Asogi Rin and Mimi from Mnemosyne. I really enjoyed the friendship between Rin and Mimi. I especially liked how Rin would always ask Mimi for water and instead would... |
| 2:00am | Yuri on the Chalkboard Week 22 | | | | For this week’s drawing I decided to do one of my favorite series from this year K-on. Strangely enough this is not a Yui X Azusa or Mio X Ritsu picture but rather a Yui X Mio one. I found two drawings that I liked but I couldn’t really decide which one to do so I decided to combine them... |
| 2:00am | Yuri on the Chalkboard Week 21 | | | | This week’s Yuri on the Chalkboard is brought to you by Lynlially who convinced me to finally get around to reading the manga Girl Friends. I was so addicted to watching Akko’s and Mari’s relationship develop that I read the whole thing in a day but the bad thing is that I can’t... |
| 5:51am | Yuri on the Chalkboard Week 20 | | | | It’s been a while since I last posted here. School has finally started up again and after a little readjustment time Yuri on the Chalkboard makes its return as well. For this week I have decided to go with a little Bamboo Blade in the form of Kawazoe Tamaki and Chiba Kirino. I’ve been... | | |
| 5:20am | OVA Confirmed for Gundam Unicorn | | | | With the apparent lack of any new mecha series in the coming fall season, as well as the absence of any new Gundam animation this year despite the 30th anniversary of the franchise (though we did get that cool statue), I was getting a little impatient to hear something from the Sunrise/Bandai camp.... | | |
| 3:35am | iDOLM@STER Dearly Stars Manga Sample Pages Translated | | | | So I was bored so I decided to translate the iM@S Dearly Stars manga sample pages released in Comic REX recently. For those who don’t know there will be 3 Dearly Stars manga running simultaneously starting in September corresponding to the three main characters and each will be drawn by a different... | | |
| 7:43am | I Really Want Yui’s Guitar | | | | Apparently the TBS ishop recently started taking preorders for special guitars based on those of K-ON’s Yui and Mio. The Hirasawa Yui Model Beginner’s Electric Guitar and Akiyama Mio Model Beginner’s Bass sell for 29800 yen each and come with a set of limited edition clear stickers... |
| 2:28am | iDOLM@STER 4th Anniversary Drawing | | | | Like I mentioned before in my previous post I have been slowly working on a new iM@S picture. Technically I’m not even close to done but I decided to finish sketching Haruka and Ai and posting it in honor of the fourth anniversary of the release of the arcade version of iM@S. I really liked drawing... | | |
| 9:23pm | Playing With Dance×Mixer | | | | In the course of looking for references and ideas for the iDOLM@STER picture that I am currently working on, I somehow found myself on Niconico Douga watching a video featuring iM@S music but with different characters dancing to the music. With the tag “Dance×Mixer” as a guide I did some... | | |

| 3:09am | Lyrics: K-ON! Insert Song Fudepen ~Ballpen~ | | | | Finally here’s the third new song from the Ho-kago Tea Time CD set. Translaion for this was a little harder that the first two K-ON insert songs and I’ll probably look back at all three sets once I take a break. This is the sixth and last post for the day and I’ll wait until tomorrow... | | |
| 11:41pm | Lyrics: K-ON! Insert Song Watashi no Koi ha Hotchkiss | | | | Here’s the second song on K-ON’s Ho-kago Tea Time CD set. Watashi no Koi ha Hotchkiss is a nice song about a girl who expresses her feelings by writing them down and stapling the sheets together until she can’t anymore. Fudepen ~Ballpen~ will follow in just a bit. Romaji Nan de nan... |
| 9:50pm | Lyrics: K-ON! Insert Song Curry nochi Rice | | | | Curry Nochi Rice is probably my favorite of the three new K-ON insert songs on the HO-KAGO Tea Time CD if just for the cuteness of Yui singing about curry. English translation included as always. Lyrics for the other two songs, Watashi no Koi ha Hotchkiss and Fudepen ~Ballpen~, will be ready in just... |
| 5:00pm | Kanon Final Patch Released | | | | Today non-directional translations released their final patch for Kanon in honor of Key’s anniversary. Although Kanon has been fully playable for a while this patch addresses typos, things that could use explaining and malformed sentences. The patch is compatible with both the standard edition... | | |
