| 3:56pm | [Breakfast Talk] Waggle for next-gen consoles |  | | | The Nintendo Wii has claimed market leader in not only the United States, but the world and Japan. There is no end to this Wii-buying frenzy with 666,000+ Wiis sold in the US this past June. Nintendo’s “Blue Ocean” strategy has worked and they are attracting the casual gamers with... |

| 8:59pm | Mizunashi Mode - Day 0 | | | | Starting tomorrow (August 1), lolikitsune and I will begin an experiment based on Aria’s Akari Mizunashi. Akari Mizunashi how do you describe her in words? She’s kindness, care, love, beauty, cheerfulness, friendliness, all bundled up in one mysterious girl. Akari is a most wonderful girl... | | |
| 1:25am | Icy’s Personal Harem | | | | Read these two posts and decided to imagine a harem of my own. 53RG10 followed Jason Miao’s proposed restrictions in addition to thinking of his own:No more that six girls.You MUST include a Maid {Not part of the six, so it’s actually 7 characters!}Maid must have appeared as a maid for at least... | | |
| 3:30pm | [51] The Price of Pragmatism | | | | ↩[LWC 50] This is a guest article written by lelangir in response to the July 2008 Minimum Tempo article, “[Dinner Discussion] Manga aisle freeloaders.” I buy most of my music. Anime OST’s I usually don’t buy unless they really warrant a purchase – i.e. Honey & Clover insert... |
| 11:24pm | [Dinner Discussion] Manga aisle freeloaders | | | | I pirate anime, but hey, it doesn’t remove a product from the shelves. If someone wishes to buy a DVD, he or she may. I am not denying the store a sale. I would have probably never bought the show even if downloading was not an option. However, now that I do have a (somewhat) steady source of... |
| 6:30pm | XBLA Impressions: Fighter Planes and Phat Moves | | | | This week on Xbox Live Arcade, we have a reimagining of an 80’s arcade shoot-’em-up and a button-pressing rhythm game with a puzzle element attached - 1942: Joint Strike and Go! Go! Break Steady. 1942: Joint Strike (800 MS points - $10 USD) is Backbone Entertainment’s HD remake of... |
| 5:13am | [Dinner Discussion] Suggesting anime to non-otaku | | | | People unfamiliar with anime often associate it with nudity and sex; most of my friends do not watch anime and usually joke that all anime and manga are hentai. It doesn’t help that most of the anime they’ve seen are shounen like Dragon Ball Z and game-related shows such as Pokémon. Their... | | |
| 11:41pm | Blog Update - 2008.07.21 (seeking writers) | | | | Looking for writers As always, Minimum Tempo is looking for new writers, whether they are episodic bloggers or editorial bloggers. Writing experience is NOT required; I will work with unskilled writers to improve their writing. The only criteria are the following:Image Editing: Able to resize and crop... | | |
| 5:48am | AX08 - VIZ and Bandai down, TOKYOPOP and FUNimation to go | | | | So I’ve been Twittering like mad at Anime Expo, and I’m pretty tired. Once I’m done with TOKYOPOP and FUNimation tomorrow, I will never do this again without an iPhone or a (computer) notebook. I’m sure you’ve heard that Hayate got announced (hey, I was among the few to... |
| 6:46am | Off to Anime Expo 2008; catch updates on Twitter | | | | Let’s keep this short; it’s 11:32 PM and I really want to head to bed. Going to AX. You’ll be able to catch updates at this blog’s Twitter if giapet isn’t faster with her liveblogging or Twittering. My current schedule looks like this (all times are in Pacific Daylight... |
| 7:02am | No updates for a week (damn you Windows) - 2008.06.22 | | | | I don’t know what it is right now, but my Windows install is corrupt. The registry seems to be missing or corrupted, but this is it. I’m switching back to Ubuntu (for the what, fifth, sixth time?) because I’m just done with this crap. Give me some time as I transition from XP to Ubuntu... | | |
| 3:48am | [Dinner Discussion] After watching, keep or delete? | | | | Front page picture unrelated. Yes, I know that girl is drawing and it has nothing to do with watching anime or downloading it. I’m the type of person that wants to keep everything; I spent several days deliberating what songs and albums would be deleted in favor of new anime downloads. With physical... |
| 11:29pm | Let’s forgive but not forget | | | | Most (or all) of you have heard that a man has murdered seven and injured eleven in a rampage in Akihabara. I’m not here to give you the news, but I’m here to give you my thoughts. Many people are likely thinking, similar to Setsuna-san of Full Moe Panic, “what the hell was going through... |
| 7:21pm | Blog Update - 2008.06.03 | | | | School sucks and the summer will suck School is dragging me down, and although I have not followed my studying schedule as planned, I’m still making progress. In any case, that means that updates will be sparse, at least until June 12. Once I do start posting again, maybe you can actually expect... | | |
