| 3:13pm | Introducing a New Blogger on Riuva… | | | | Since most of the other guys, with the notable exception of Ascaloth, haven’t really been active, I’ve been looking for some fresh talent to come onboard the site. If you’re looking to blog on anime, manga or any other topic with the slightest bit of relevancy, do email me or use the... | | |
| 1:09pm | [Ascaloth] Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu (2009), Episode 16: Endless Eight | | | | The Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody of three weeks ago was but a teaser to whet appetites, but this week the God Empress Herself makes an emphatic return. And how! It has been three years since the first season burst out from obscurity to capture the imagination of an entire generation of otaku, and things have... | | |
| 4:30am | Daicon Day 2: An Investigative Indepth Look at the Behind the Scenes | | | | You know, reading ignorant blog and forum posts about the recently concluded Daicon has left me with a sense of achievement - it appears I now know more about the event than almost any other non-staffer, no thanks to my 2-day long investigation, aided by nerdy sidekick Darkmirage, beefy Owen S and medic... | | |
| 4:51am | Daicon Day 1: A Full Account | | | | Here I am about 325 kilometres from home, freeloading at Kurogane’s house with Darkmirage for 3 days. The trip here was a comedy of errors, the first of which started from my laughable attempt at saving money on air tickets. We chose to fly rather than take a coach, which on paper was a great... |
| 11:31am | [Riuva Bazaar 2009] Everything Goes! | | | | This time, I’m doing it a bit differently. Basically, I’ve spent the whole of two days packing and photographing my figures, and making a powerpoint catalogue which I’ve uploaded. I’ve included the prices and description of each figure I’m selling, which is essentially... |
| 1:20pm | Meet Me and Darkmirage at Daicon and You’ll Get to Shake His Hands | | | | We’ve just booked our plane tickets for Daicon. Yeah, we’re so good we take airplanes to anime conventions! Or rather, for some reason, a plane ticket costs less than a coach ride there, and 5 hours less time. I’m not sure how the media pass looks like or if it has our names on it,... |
| 3:53am | GA: Geijutsuka Art Design Class Anime is how K-ON Should have Been Done. | | | | The similarities are striking, with GA also being adapted from that kind of manga and featuring a group of girls doing their hobby. But unlike K-ON, which was a bit mundane, dull and unfunny, GA is not only educationally informative, it is also very witty and well-written gag-moe style. In fact I would... | | |
| 6:31am | Canaan and Princess Lover: First Non-Shit Shows of Summer 09 | | | | This is probably the worst season of anime ever. I had to force myself to sit through some first episodes, even at fast forward speed. I fast-forwarded or even just scrolled through some of the new series’ pilot episodes, since they were just so bad it would sully my eyes to watch them in full.... | | |
| 6:04pm | [Ascaloth] CLANNAD ~After Story~, Another World (Kyou Chapter) | | | | What would your life had been like, had you just made a different choice at that particular moment? How differently might it have turned out, and how would it have made you a different person from the one you are today? If you had just managed to make that confession you never did make to that special... | | |
| 3:51pm | [Ascaloth] Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu (2009), Episode 14: Endless Eight | | | | The Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody of three weeks ago was but a teaser to whet appetites, but this week the God Empress Herself makes an emphatic return. And how! It has been three years since the first season burst out from obscurity to capture the imagination of an entire generation of otaku, and things have... | | |
| 12:47pm | Hatsukoi Ends. Hey, Isn’t Romance for Girls?? | | | | I’ve been very intrigued by Hatsukoi Limited. I love this show. My female friend, who’s into pretty boy shows like Hanasekeru Seishounen, is also crazy about this show. Yet I absolutely hate chick lit, chick flicks and other romance movies/shows. So why do I like HL? Wait, make that, why... | | |
| 1:31pm | [Ascaloth] Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu (2009), Episode 13: Endless Eight | | | | The Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody of three weeks ago was but a teaser to whet appetites, but this week the God Empress Herself makes an emphatic return. And how! It has been three years since the first season burst out from obscurity to capture the imagination of an entire generation of otaku, and things have... | | |
| 9:50am | [Ascaloth] K-ON!, Extra Episode | | | | As winter sets in upon the year once again, marking the impending end of another cycle of seasons, the cold chill of the air settles upon the everyday happenings of the girls of After School Teatime. As the low temperatures slows the pace of life to a glacial rate, it is a time to sit back and relax,... |
