| 6:37am | Kampfer 06 – Destroy~ | | | | Why are most of the customers in the Maid-ish Cafe female? Fushigi mystery.Contrary to what Kaede and apparently most of the NPC cast says, I don't really think Natsuru's Special Maid Outfit is all that attractive. It's too showy, and makes her look like she's Trying Too Hard to be sexy. Well, okay,... |
| 12:28pm | A Quirk Of Brain Chemistry | | | | I have a rather bad temper.This really should be no surprise to anyone who knows me. I think what does cause confusion among people who only read my forum postings or my blog stuff is that I have somewhat different triggers for what sets me off.One of these, and indeed a major one that will |
| 3:07pm | Kampfer 05 – Losing His Precious Thing | | | | I'm not sure that I would have done better if I had been in Natsuru's place. On the one hand, girls seem to get a lot more cosplay opportunities. On the other hand, having to keep in shape has to be a lot more difficult. Presumably part of the advantage of Kampfer-ism is the ability |
| 8:28am | Nogizaka Haruka No Himitsu Purezza – Good Enough | | | | I know it's not actually a good show, and honestly speaking I can't think of a reason why I'm even watching it other than "it's good blog fodder". Or rather, blog fodder to talk about, in the sense that I can kind of discuss the stuff around the show without actually talking about the show |
| 11:20am | The Manga Guide To Edutainment | | | | Publisher link for the whole set, at a discount to boot.There's something about putting entertainment and education together that seems to boggle the mind. Entertainment is supposed to be fun, and education isn't. Therefore, "edutainment" is usually seen to be Trying Too Hard, and only the really effective... |
| 1:01pm | Kampfer 02-03 – Pheromones | | | | Kampfer has been getting well, not rave reviews. It is, in fact, getting slammed pretty hard, in the way just about every show I like has been slammed at one point or another (the sole exception is Card Captor Sakura, which appears unslammable). The difference is that after all that slamming, if the... |
| 7:59am | Elevator Music For Everyone's Souls | | | | You can kind of tell how busy my week has been or is likely to be by checking when I post to this blog. As I keep saying, two posts a week without guarantee of quality. If both of these appear on a Sunday, it is a sign that the schedule of my life is |
| 1:28pm | Kampfer Supplemental – Shake It | | | | City of Heroes has a number of dance emotes, for a given value of "dance". This is because the animator who first manipulated the game model frames for this purpose based the moves off his own flailing attempts, and I use these less-than-flattering words because I am quoting to the best of my knowledge... |
| 4:06pm | Kampfer 01 – Innuendo | | | | We'll keep on trying. We'll tread that fine line. We'll keep on trying, until the end of time.I admit that I didn't expect Marina Inoue to voice both versions of Natsuru. When I read the manga, Guy!Natsuru seemed like he'd be voiced by a Standard Harem Comedy Protagonist Voice Actor. I shouldn't be surprised,... |
| 12:11pm | A Certain Scientific Railgun 01 – Bamf | | | | Kuroko is not the first teleporter who gets that onomatopoeia stuck in my head. Chances are I've used this reference before, and I will use it again.My primary familiarity with A Certain Scientific Railgun is from the manga version. Well, obviously, since the anime just started airing. Despite the title,... |
| 8:05am | Apathy For The Angels | | | | I've never liked Neon Genesis Evangelion. This isn't to say that I hated it or anything, but more that it failed to fully elicit any sort of severe response in any direction. I didn't hate it, and I didn't like it; I was just not interested in it.Which, I suppose, is sort of the problem, |
| 10:47am | Nanoha GamerS XXXIX – In Motion | | | | This entry is part 38 of 38 in the series Nanoha GamerSEDIT: Alternate last page, now anatomically correct.It's a lot harder to write MSLN fanfiction when I cannot get sanity/Sue-checks from the MSLN Original Character community.Judging from comments left on my blog when the subject comes up, there seems... |
| 9:18am | Retrying Bakemonogatari | | | | I stopped watching Bakemonogatari after the second episode or so (I think I got through about half of number three), mainly through finding all sorts of excuses not to continue watching. Too little time, too many other anime I prefer watching to be honest, it's really the latter reason which indirectly... |
| 2:31pm | Uphill Both Ways | | | | As I grow farther away from what is known as the Youth Market, I realize that technically I should not be as obsessed with all these things which are meant to appeal to a target audience about a decade younger than I. Still, I react to that assertion with the sort of indifference which marks |
