| 8:11am | Happy birthday, lolikit |  | | | Happy birthday, lolikitsune. You’re legal in the United States now. You can’t drink, but you can now legally smoke, buy and watch porn, play eroge, participate in any type of sexual activity (the age of consent is 18 in California), and vote in the democratic process. Congratulations! Too... | | |
| 5:42am | Seriously, we’re complaining fansubs’ professionalism? | | | | There’s a documentary floating around titled “Anime Fansub Documentary,” created by some “professional” translator. The documentary focuses primarily on the unprofessionalism of fansubbers and how it’s ruining anime. With quotes from translation professors and experts... | | |

| 2:52am | How to avoid anime blog burnout | | | | We all experience burnout sooner or later, and maybe even multiple times. It’s that point when a blogger cannot write or publish anything, and he or she feels like she must apologize for the lack of posts. Out of ideas or sick of writing or sick of the topic; all of these are reasons for blogger... |
| 3:39am | I like Aria the Animation… a lot | | | | When lolikit (and Jeff Lawson) says a show is “amazing stuff,” then it must indeed be awesome. And so I started watching a few days ago and I’m hooked. There’s like, no story, yet it’s so good. WHY IS IT SO GOOD? Then again, I’ve only watched about five episodes;... | | |
| 4:00am | Why should I bother to continue Special A? | | | | There are only a few shows that completely frustrate me. Shakugan no Shana and Shuffle! were nowhere near excellent, but both were enjoyable (in the end) and filled with characters that I liked. I thought the shows were rather boring in the beginning and lacked any real depth and consistency. Shuffle!... | | |
| 1:10am | [Dinner Discussion] Total amount spent on anime & manga | | | | Following up from last night’s post I said that $75 USD was the approximate cost of my most expensive purchase. Now if I count all the anime and manga merchandise that I’ve personally bought, I think it would come to a total of only $337 USD. This includes manga, doujin, and figures. I didn’t... |
| 1:11pm | [Breakfast Talk] My gaming pile of shame | | | | Like many other otaku (and perhaps people in general), I’m an impulse buyer. I see something I like, check my wallet to see if I have enough, hopelessly think of reasons not to buy it, and then purchase it. Unfortunately I do this with video games; I have a great amount of games I have purchased,... |
| 1:41am | Dinner Discussion: Most expensive purchase? | | | | When I look at pictures of otakus’ rooms, it’s almost shocking when I consider the amount of figures, manga, anime DVDs, posters, wallscrolls, and other merchandise the people have. I have very little merchandise and media, and I’m still surprised by the amount other people spend on... |
| 12:46am | Sponsor a child through Compassion | | | | Compassion International is a Christian organization dedicated to helping impoverished children with educational and other essential needs. Compassion supports over one million children worldwide, and all it asks is for at least $32 a month to sponsor a child. That $32 provides the following to the... |
| 6:38am | The Contact page has not been working… | | | | I realized only today that the Contact page has not been working since I’ve moved to my new host. It’s a blunder on my part, and it has been fixed. So if you’ve sent an email via the Contact form in the past month, please drop another message! And I’m always looking for new ... |
| 3:29am | [Aya Love] Why such hate for Hirano Aya? | | | | Welcome to the first post of Aya Love (lame name, but better than something like “Aya Rabu Rabu,” right?!), a weekly feature on Minimum Tempo that will report the latest news about Hirano Aya, discuss her music and voice acting, and rave about how cute and awesome she is. Why am I doing... |
| 2:04am | My first year of anime | | | | It feels like only yesterday when I opened uTorrent to find that my FLCL download had finished. There was nothing to do at home, and I was out of school for a certain reason. My friends were in school, and I was alone with the Internet, wanting to entertain myself. It was then when I had remembered... | | |
| 2:48am | (Music) Nine Inch Nails - The Slip Review | | | | Maybe Trent Reznor serves as an example of what a “free artist” can truly do. His major earlier works (Pretty Hate Machine in 1989, Broken (EP) in 1992, The Downward Spiral in 1994, The Fragile in 1999, With Teeth in 2005) took at least three years before release, the most notable gap being... |
