| 7:56pm | what i was forced to watch this week #31: angel tail |  | | | Angel Tail features quite possibly the least threatening harem that I’ve ever seen. Goro Mutsumi’s harem consists of his pets which have been reincarnated as guardian angels. And they’re not pets like that. They’re very much still hamsters or parakeets or puppies, just in... |
| 11:06pm | i am a gay of demonic charm 1 | | | | when you’ve got the demonic charm of ono, it’s not hard to accumulate a manharem I dunno what Aroduc is talking about. Antique Bakery was pretty awesome, even though I was watching it completely ironically. Basically, I mentally remembered scenes like the ones in Ouran where something... |
| 9:35pm | but but but “entitlement” and “instant gratification” | | | | So remember how I said that Heroes was the top-selling TV series DVD release last year and also got about 13 million viewers? It also gets about 10 million viewers on Bittorrent. Most of this article at TorrentFreak is the usually blah blah torrents are awesome and here are actual numbers and support... |
| 8:06pm | strike witches 1 aka OH NO HE DIDN’T | | | | full size Oops, that’s not it. I mean: full size Oh look, an anime that I want to watch, when I want to watch it, in the format that I want to watch it, and at a price that’s actually lower than I was planning on spending (150 points when I thought it would be 200)! I think I will purchase... |
| 4:12pm | here is an example of how people can watch tv but find it worthless | | | | What is by far the most-watched TV show in America? American Idol. How much money do people spend on American Idol? Um, yeah CD sales for the winners have been dropping from the season 2 high, even though season 2 was the 2nd least watched season of the show. Meanwhile, I couldn’t even find... |
| 1:22am | summer 2008: suckirei | | | | Did you ever watch Ikkitousen and go “Man, this show is pretty awesome, but I wish that they replaced every reference to Romance of the Three Kingdoms with some huge tits?” No? Well then you probably watched Sumomo mo Momo mo and thought “Man, this show is pretty awesome, but I wish... |
| 3:58pm | brainstorming a criterion collection approach to anime | | | | So with the news that Bandai Entertainment will take over Bandai Visual USA’s Honneamise line, combined with one of the dudes at PiQ mentioning the idea, I started thinking about what exactly a Criterion Collection-style anime release would look like. Man, I love me some Criterion Collection... | | |
| 12:34am | inflation and the recession are cutting into weeaboo spending | | | | If you thought that this was going to be about fansubs or ADV or whatever, you lose! Rather, this is about weeaboo dining and the crazy food costs that have been going on in the last year. We ate at Yakiniku West today. We looked at the menu and saw how the sets were a few dollars more expensive... |
| 2:15am | time for the summer 2008 anime preview/pre-ridicule! | | | | Man, waiting until other people have written very thorough previews is the way to go. I still get to get my completely unfounded ridicule on, yet I can at least know what shows are about and who is starring in them! Because let’s face it: the whole point of these kinds of posts is just to make... | | |
| 1:19am | what i was forced to watch this week #30: galaxy angel | | | | in case you couldn’t tell from the occasional fart joke, this is a broccoli title I’m amazed that Galaxy Angel goes on for as long as it does. Out of one game, there’s 6 anime plus other spinoffs like manga and a musical, which I kindasorta wish I could see somehow. In the first... | | |
| 7:24pm | wow, that was surprising | | | | Are reports of ADV’s demise exaggerated? I’m skeptical about the fact that the whole company is collapsing (I believe them when they say on AoD that the auctions are because they’re selling off the extra equipment from the divisions that they’re shuttering) because of a short... |
| 3:52pm | code geass 11: a return to form | | | | The last couple episodes before this week were a travesty. The show completely abandoned its anchoring premise: gratuitous ass shots. This week made amends for their sins. Seeing how Kallen got captured, it comes as(s) no surprised that CC has to do double duty. Also, I want to point out that while... | | |
| 3:37pm | don’t blame the american companies. blame hollywood | | | | One of my friends had the wild idea of asking the Freakonomics guys for a bit of insight into the whole anime piracy problem. I gave them a little bit of info, and Professor Levitt responded back to me, where he apologized for the fact that he can’t really draw any good conclusions on the subject,... |
| 1:22am | stupidity with fansubs: animenext day 2 | | | | Between generally feeling exhausted from being up since 7:30am to the fact that the subway line that goes to our apartment was shut down for the weekend, thus making us not too excited about taking a roundabout way home at midnight, we went home early. We just ended up spending almost the entire day... | | |
| 1:54am | animenext 2008 day 1 | | | | Yeah, that sucked. Then again, cons suck and anime sucks. Well, maybe the former much more than the latter, but I was tempted to respond in kind when we were waiting on the prereg line and the ganguro behind us said to someone who wanted to take her picture, “I hate anime! I’m just dressed... | | |
