| 3:05am | what i was forced to watch this week #49: bakuretsu hunters |  | | | MOAR LIKE BAKUNYUU HUNTERS AMIRITE? Bakuretsu Hunters is basically a shittier, not funny version of Slayers with bigger boobs and no fish mans. The above sequence was really the only part of the show that was in any way memorable for me. Basically, it made me lol super hard. While fighting the... | | |
| 2:31am | what i was forced to watch this week #48: comic party | | | | Yeah yeah, I know this is “this week”, but I’d gotten lazy, and by lazy I mainly mean had been really busy with move and new apartment stuff. I actually have a backlog of watched titles to write about. So anyway, I actually started the first episode of Comic Party right after watching... |
| 3:56am | what i was forced to watch this week #47: to heart | | | | I can’t quit put my finger on it, but To Heart has a certain something, a je ne sais quoi if you will, the prevents me from automatically hating it in the way that I generally automatically hate bishojo game conversion anime. oh shiho, you and your easy to willfully misinterpret remarks My gut... | | |
| 1:44am | what i was forced to watch this week #46: super GALS | | | | Here is a blatantly misleading description of Gals: AZUMANGA DAIOH MEETS SEX AND THE CITY! The components kindasorta match up, but the combination doesn’t feel like that. Gals really doesn’t have any kind of narrative arc. That’s the Azumanga Daioh half. There maybe an episode or... |
| 7:43pm | what i was forced to watch this week #45: risky safety | | | | I remember back during one of our old podcasts, someone asked in the mailbag portion what the most obscure anime that we’d all seen was. Hinano had said Infinite Ryvius, which isn’t even close. That week’s post drew a bunch of fans out of the woodwork, so it couldn’t be that... |
| 5:29pm | what i was forced to watch this week #44: sailor moon movies | | | | HOLY SHIT BARBIE DOLL NUDITY The main point behind this whole feature was to watch all of the assorted anime on CDs and DVDs that we had squirreled away in our apartment so that we could throw them out and not have to schlep them around every time that we move. Right now I’m actually watching... |
| 1:13am | what i was forced to watch this week #43: infinite ryvius | | | | I wanted to watch Infinite Ryvius for one simple reason: it’s supposed to have the second largest cast of characters in anime. The largest, of course, is Legend of the Galactic Heroes. It’s not even close. Infinite Ryvius has dozens of characters, and I believe that 487 students are onboard... | | |
| 11:26pm | weeaboo dining: sharaku | | | | it’s cut off in the picture, but there were also sake with names like “bandai” and “otokoyama”. kira~~~ We were starving today. Our usual haunts of Yakiniku West and Ippudo were closed since it was after lunch but not quite dinner time yet. So we went to Sharaku, which... |
| 12:23am | what i was forced to watch this week #42: gravitation double feature | | | | First, just to get this out of the way: Gravitation is gay, but not Junjou Romantica-level gay. It’s probably more like a half-step above Legend of the Galactic Heroes-level gay, since while LoGH has homoerotic angel visions and bribing with cake (not to mention Bittenfeldt’s opinion of... |
| 6:12pm | nyaf 2008: the pleasures of your local con | | | | If you’ve read any of the various other con reports, I didn’t really do too much at NYAF 2008. And that’s perfectly OK with me, rather than the start of a rant. The badge pickup was effortless, I got to hang out with some homies, I had a successful panel, won a free manga, bought... |
| 2:26pm | oh look, hulu has some anime now | | | | Right now, it’s just Death Note, 12 episodes of Mushishi, and 20 episodes of Naruto. ANN says that they’ll get more later. I clicked on the first episode of Death Note, and lo and behold it did have subs, which I thought was interesting seeing how it wasn’t dubbed on Cartoon Network.... | | |
| 8:26pm | and speaking of crossovers: kodocha/reefer madness | | | | While going through our manga to sell off another load to Book Off, we came across a Kodocha one-shot called Mizu no Yakata. In the anime, there was a story arc were Sana, Naozumi, and Asako were shooting this movie. We only saw a couple bits and pieces of it, like the filming of Asako’s sex... |
| 7:17pm | i love crossover fanfic summaries | | | | Right now, for shits and giggles I googled for “yak deculture” to see what would come up. Sadly, Otou-san’s new domain was not one of the first few entries. What did come up was a crossover fanfic called “Frak Deculture.” I think you can figure out what that is about.... | | |
| 8:29pm | what i was forced to watch this week #40: sailor moon StrikerS | | | | Sailor Moon SuperS had perhaps the worst filler in the entire series. The filler in S wasn’t so bad, since they were able to at least occasionally do some character or thematic development at the same time. The filler in R was really lame, but even it was better than SuperS. The problem with SuperS’s... |
