| 3:41am | the veteran editorial blogger treadmill |  | | | It’s really, really easy to burn out doing editorials. You have to keep thinking of interesting things to say. There usually isn’t some set schedule like if you’re blogging episodes, nor can you always just keep sniffing out new content like with news. The other problem is that... | | |
| 7:40pm | japanese seiyuu wish they could make money like this | | | | As I hope everyone knows by know, seiyuu in Japan barely make any money from voice acting alone. Eroge are usually a better paying source. GTA IV was even better than that. (My favorite comment was “Rockstar should’ve paid him more so he’d shut up, then have sex with him and run... |
| 1:09pm | who hates anime on youtube the most? | | | | Everyone knows about TV Tokyo’s mass deletings, but they’re not the only ones taking down content: 5) Datebayo 15) Funimation 17) Fuji TV 22) Kansai TV 25) TV Asahi 26) Tokyo Broadcasting 28) Cartoon Network 33) NHK 50) WOWOW And of course, Scientology is on the list. |
| 12:46am | correct me if i’m wrong… | | | | but was Code Geass R2 #7 the first episode this season not to feature that fish-eye lens shot of Kallen’s ass? You know which shot I’m talking about. That one. I was excited for a second that they were going to do that exact same shot, just this time with CC, but sadly that was not to... | | |
| 11:12pm | alas | | | | When I returned home from work, they were gone. |
| 10:43pm | what i was forced to watch this week #26: fushigi yuugi | | | | I wasn’t really forced to watch this one. I started watching it a year ago, got almost halfway in, then got sidetracked and completely forgot, and then remembered when I was scanning MAL. Most of what I said the first time still holds. I was still bothered by all of the (attempted) rape and... |
| 11:00pm | got $15 million? buy the ultimate anime figure! | | | | A Takashi Murakami anime figure (oops! I mean “sculpture”) sold for $15 million today at Sotheby’s. Not just any figure, mind you. It’s basically one of Goku jacking off with spooge swirling around him. I’m so not kidding. (Obviously) NSFW. |
| 5:23pm | YOUR DOING IT WRONG: authorial intent | | | | This one is prompted by a couple things. The first is that I’m almost done watching Fushigi Yuugi after a year-long break from it (I’ll probably write the full post tomorrow), and the second is that I keep getting comments on my post about how Romeo X Juliet is an awful adaptation (especially... | | |
| 11:41pm | what i was forced to watch this week #25: green green | | | | Green Green is a fanservice anime, but unlike most fanservice comedies, it’s also a sex comedy. There’s physical comedy like when a dude gets caught trying to sneak into the girls’ locker room that you’d expect to see in a fanservice comedy, but most of the comedy revolves around... | | |
| 2:25pm | how futari ecchi solves the harem genre’s problems | | | | Despite the fact that I definitely don’t count it as one of the genres that I actually like (although there are still some that I really like), it seems like I watch a lot of harem and fanservice enough. It’s often a cliche that gets used by people that don’t like a particular genre,... | | |
| 11:26pm | what i was forced to watch this week #24: e’s otherwise | | | | E’s Otherwise might be the pinnacle of mediocre anime for me so far. There’s no tension, cohesion, or any real sense of purpose to any of the elements in it. They probably could’ve eliminated most of the characters and I wouldn’t have noticed. They also could’ve eliminated... | | |
| 7:20pm | GTA 4: rockstar’s second dating sim | | | | Like clockwork, the release of a new Grand Theft Auto game has brought out the fake “outrage” over the fact that ZOMG YOU CAN KILL A PROSTITUTE AFTER HAVING SEX WITH HER! Of course, they always leave out that the fact that it’s because you can kill just about anything in the game.... |
| 2:42pm | public spaces, social mores, and idiotic fandom | | | | There’s a pair of topics here which kind of dovetail together. The first was Ashley requesting a tag-in on her post on the Open Source Boob Project, while the second was the embarrassment of the weeaboos at the Sakura Matsuri. Specifically, what is it about anime fandom that draws out the worst... |
| 6:17pm | seiyuu fandom: the role or the person? | | | | Probably brought on by Zyl posting about Kotono Mitsuishi, I’d been starting to try to match up individual seiyuu as to whether their appeal is from their roles or from their persona. One of my textbooks used the distinction here between someone like Robert De Niro and someone like Arnold Schwarzenegger.... |
