| 5:51am | S.A. Special A - Character Songs | | | | Because no anime series is complete without a collection of random character songs. Admittedly, I've had mixed feelings about all of the music in S.A. The first OP was too bubblegum pop for my tastes, and the second OP was nice (but somewhat lacking). That being said, this album was actually pretty decent.Gorgeous... | | |
| 2:34am | Rantings of a Fandubber Vol. I: I hate cheap microphones | | | | So I've been working on another amateur dub project. And as usual, I collected a cast of people that spans the globe. Translation: check. Script revisions: check. And out the email goes. Within a couple weeks, in come the MP3s. And that's when the problems hit. Besides being in charge of translation... |
| 2:21am | The Bento I Made Today | | | | Introducing my secret weapon: lettuce. I'm still an amateur when it comes to making bento, and I spend a lot of time looking at other bento to get an idea of what I can do better. One thing I noticed a lot was that the really nice ones were always laid out on a bed of deep green lettuce. I have recently... |
| 5:49am | Code Geass R2 Ep. 24 - Dude, I told you... | | | | I told you. I told you I told you I TOLD YOU that Nunnally was the final mastermind. You all thought I was crazy! You all laughed at me. But WHO'S LAUGHING NOW!? That's right! Nunnally!In other news, Karen got so fed up with the way they twisted her character she ran away and joined the cast of Yu-Gi-Oh... | | |
| 7:16pm | Shugo Chara 50 - Useless, but Cute | | | | Not exactly filler, but painfully slow nonetheless. However, the sequence with the characters in fantasy mode was really cute. The search for the Embryo continues. Kairi sends a load of reading to the Guardians while the three stooges back at Easter attempt to build a machine that will create an Embryo.... | | |
| 3:29am | Skip Beat! Site Updated with Character Designs | | | | TV Tokyo updated its Skip Beat! site with an actual site including character designs. Here we get to see Kyoko in the most fashionable pink jumpsuit of the Love Me section. The characters page only has Kyoko, Sho, and Ren, but it's nice to see more than just the same promo image. Speaking of which, there's... |
| 11:11pm | Today's Bento | | | | Today's bento has an Avatar: The Last Airbender theme. I'm so cool, aren't I? Okayprobably not. Anyway, I was aiming for something that represented the four kingdoms/elements of bending. I'm only mostly satisfied with the outcomeAir was by far the easiest. Slap an arrow on a rice ball and call it good.... |
| 12:41am | Random Walk - Manga Review | | | | As someone with a computer science background, I was really expecting something different from a manga called "Random Walk." Personally, I think a story about a drunk man stumbling home over a city-sized Pascal's Triangle would have been much more interesting and a whole lot less frustrating. Random... |
| 12:14am | Cosplay Indecision 2008 | | | | If I were rich, I'd cosplay all my favorite characters. But I'm not. So I have to be picky about who I cosplay as. Which means it's one again time to decide who I'm going to start saving up for. And of course, it doesn't hurt to get public opinions, either. I've narrowed it down to three. Thoughts and... | | |
| 1:59am | Lost+Brain 03-04 - Hypnotism Does not Work that Way | | | | Hiyama's latest victim was a suicide bomber who blew up a government building. Unfortunately, his plan isn't quite as flawless as he imagined. Kuonji realizes something's up and guesses that the bomber was hypnotized into his suicide mission. And so he arrives at the school with the intent to use hypnosis... |
| 12:14am | Skip Beat! Music - Sometimes...I am so slow. | | | | Solike a month after everyone else found out, I finally discovered that the OP and ED for Skip Beat were announced. Wow I am SO good at this. Anyway, the OP is called "dream star" and it will be performed by the generous. I've never heard of her before, and thanks to a decidedly common sounding name,... |
| 8:49pm | S.A. Special A Ep. 24 (END) - Feel good endings for everyone! | | | | Well, it's the good end we've all been waiting for. Hikari is angry that Kei left, but she decides to go to London to bring him back. The rest of S.A. decide to come with her. Unfortunately, Hikari can't even figure out how to get to London.

| 4:44am | Code Geass R2 Ep. 23 - Nunnally is Stupid Y/Y? | | | | All the intelligent comments on this episode have already been taken, so it's time to dive into mindless, snarky comments. Well, I guess I should at least rant a little bit first. These days, it seems like the cool thing to bash Code Geass R2, call it a trainwreck, etc. And I guess in comparison with... | | |
| 10:27pm | +Anima Manga Review | | | | +Anima (pronounced "plus anima") is one of my favorite manga series, and it's a breath of fresh air that finds a home somewhere between epic plotlines that take themselves too seriously and rambling adventures that quickly degenerate into mindless silliness. In a medieval-fashioned world, there are people... |
| 4:05am | Shugo Chara 49 - I'll try not to complain too much... | | | | First half of the episode was really sweet. Second half was the usual. ::sigh:: The few goons who are left at Easter Corp. are working on a machine that will detect the Embryo and capture it. Yeah. That'll totally work. In the meantime, Ikuto is lounging around in the park for no apparent reason when... | | |
