| 12:58am | Kyoto Animation to do 801-chan, Hiyorin and Konata cameos deemed inevitable | | | | When I first heard that Tonari no 801-chan was getting an anime, I was interested in seeing how they would adapt it to a full show. I figured that it would be something fairly low-budget and a decent show, but with the news that they of Haruhi and Lucky Star, those lords of chaos known as KyoAni, are... | | |

| 7:23pm | Flaw Magnification at Conventions | | | | A week after Otakon, about a month away from New York Anime Fest, and knowing my friends are going to PAX at the end of this month, I have conventions, or more specifically congoers, on my mind. I support fans doing what they want with what they love. One might call it one of the pillars of the concept... |
| 6:47pm | Kaiba is a difficult show to watch | | | | A very good show yes, but a difficult one nonetheless. Kaiba is a very intelligent show, but so are a lot of other shows. The difference, however, is that while something like Crest of the Stars appeals to the viewer’s intelligence, it does not actively try to challenge that intelligence as... | | |
| 6:12pm | This is one of those posts About Me, so don’t read it | | | | In the “About” section of Ogiue Maniax, I state that I “want to have a strong sense of its lifespan, to appreciate its history both in the context of the work itself as well as its influence in society throughout the world.” I think this accurately portrays my stance towards... |
| 5:37pm | Otakon 2008 Artist’s Alley-ooplah | | | | I’ve heard recently that there was some kind of scheme going on at Otakon’s Artist’s Alley this year, where one or two artists bought around 14 tables and put their friends at each table to sell their artwork. Otakon is apparently looking for ways to prevent this incident, provided... |
| 8:28pm | That Which Causes Me to Not Like Something, Part 1 | | | | The vast majority of the time here on Ogiue Maniax, I talk about the shows I like or at the very least the shows which I think have merit in discussion. I prefer to be open-minded about shows of all kinds, though there are some genres I’ll get into less than others for a variety of reasons (boys’... |
| 8:13pm | More Than Enough: Otakon 2008 | | | | I went to Otakon with one purpose in mind: to go see JAM Project. Everything else on my priorities list could be postponed or sacrificed as long as I would be able to not turn away, and not show my tears, because I have the power of love to take back tomorrow. I am glad to say that not only did I... | | |

| 1:12am | The Otaku Exercise Regimen? | | | | I might not have any sort of specific numbers or charts or data, but I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be off when I say the vast majority of otaku are out-of-shape, yours truly included. Whether we’re malnourished and underweight or heavy eaters with huge guts, exercise is not exactly a... |
| 7:50pm | The Sexiness is Galaxy | | | | Macross Frontier seems to have a certain portion of the Macross fandom in a dangerous state of conflict, as they see both good and evil in this 25th Anniversary celebration of Studio Nue’s most famous work. Fanservice, of the T&A variety, fanservice, designed to get men (and possibly women)... | | |

| 1:02pm | Priorities for Otakon | | | | -JAM Project concert, that Katsura comedian guy. -Finding something for JAM Project to sign, preferrably a cool, relevant poster or a DVD box set. Something like Scrapped Princess for example, or Gravion. -Ogiue merchandise. I will not be denied again, unless it’s of course by virtue of there... | | |
