| 5:27am | Xam’d Episode 16 - Nazuna’s Dream, Snowy Secrets | | | | There are some choice shots of Prois in this episode and the preview. It’s almost amusing but she’s such a side dressing to the show at this point. But of what secrets does she have to tell? One thing that is heavily featured this episode is snow. Nakiami and Yungo are deep into the northern... |
| 12:17am | Real Drive Is Fatty, Tree Hugging, Ordinary Shirow; Oyaji Only | | | | The general gist of Real Drive (RD: Dennou Chosashitsu) is best explained by Production IG’s website. The profile page gives you key information about the setting and the setup, and it’s a must read if you are curious about the show. You can look at ANN for the Shirow’s connection... | | |
| 11:16pm | Nuance for the Ear, Beyond Maaya’s Voice | | | | I’ve been listening a lot to Praline, which is the c/w track on the Ame ga Furu single. It’s penned by Taiyo Yamazawa. It’s a good snapshot to how Maaya Sakamoto has changed throughout her music career. I still remember listening to her earlier works like Dive and Grapefruitand I... |
| 5:53am | Xam’d Episode 15 - Claustrophobic Country | | | | I’ve been playing Valkyria Chronicles for a while now; it seems natural given its anime-like presentation, the Sakura Taisen production team, a very nice collection of seiyuu performances, and that it is a PS3 exclusive. Having an anime to go with next year is just a bonus. I mention this because... |
| 1:36am | Kannagi: Let’s Give Them Something to Talk About? | | | | Kannagi peaked @ episode 7. And that is fine. I think if I dropped the show right here and now, I would have already gotten my money’s worth, so to speak. Kannagi had made a fan, and it will get my money. I’d save the rest of my time left, lest my passion and curiosity for the things I... | | |
| 4:35pm | C-Comboroll Breaker | | | | Did they just team up with TV Tokyo? TV TOKYO??? Somebody hold me. What’s next? |
| 7:19pm | Faust Is Latin for Auspicious, A Lucky Review | | | | Del Ray released, in the US, a collection of translated one-shots, essays and excerpts from the Japanese serial publication Faust, back in late August. It’s similarly named Faust. You can read a fairly brief overview at AoDVD/Mania which should equip you with the technical details to help you... | | |
| 2:33am | Random Thoughts On A November 11th | | | | Will you kill someone you love, because of love? Will you fall into a despair darker than black? I have no clue. But maybe I’ll go watch this other British man-of-mystery on film later this week.Much like retail America, I am already switching gears for the holidays. That said I have no clue what... | | |
| 5:55pm | Clanclan Noir | | | | Clanclan Philias doesn’t wear clothes; clothes wear her. |
| 6:44am | Xam’d Episode 13 - A Miserable Feat of Strength | | | | After the storm that was the last Playstation 3 patch and the PSN nonsense, Xam’d has returned with episode 13. That was a nice break for me. But as you know, episode 13 was leaked way back when, so this episodic review is probably not news to you. Sadly I still hate writing about anime at 2... |
| 3:50am | Digital Delivery Drilldown | | | | I’m going to do my best to hold back my TD;DR instincts as much as I can. My hope is it can serve as a quick reference to the set of assumptions I (and many) make when discussing digital delivery. They may be bad assumptions. They may be improvable assumptions. But it should make life easier... |
| 6:09am | A Quickie on Mental Bandwidth | | | | Author’s notes are often interesting because they point to interesting things. That is if you can read past the knee-jerk-ish explanation and suppress the reactive instinct to point and laugh about his seems-totally-wrong-to-me assumptionsand bring it down down to his level. Generally speaking... | | |
| 3:46am | Charity 2008 | | | | Decision 2008 is like Saimoe 2008; sound, fury, and there are better way to spend your time and money. One way is to play games. Penny Arcade makes charitable donation into a game itself. It’s a great cause and I know many of you do pitch in already like myself. Anyways, it’s called Child’s... |
| 12:31am | Election 2008 | | | | 君は誰とキスをする? Shojo Kawamori–bringing politics to anime since 1982. (shameless stolen from someone else; thx uncreative) If you’re in America, go vote tomorrow if you haven’t already. |
