| 2:32am | [Ascaloth] CLANNAD ~After Story~, Extra Episode | | | | Every story has a beginning, but rarely do we ask what came before the beginning. Every romance starts off with that first spark, but should they have crossed paths prior, little would two fated lovebirds realise just how close they came before. Based off an audio drama detailing some interesting tidbits... | | |
| 10:42am | Otaku are Retarded Sissies who Love to Play with Dolls | | | | Reading the title above you might think I’m in no position to say otakus play with dolls are thus are sissies, since I myself own so many figures.

| 7:02pm | Amazingly Funny Post Not Written By Me. | | | | Now, it’s not often that I link to people. Mainly because I’m lazy and the 2 seconds it takes to link people can be better used pressing refresh on my favourite website riuva.com to see if I have any updates. But I recently read a post on this new anime blog of which I know nothing about... | | |

| 9:57am | Diary of an Otaku #2: | | | | Moeman’s Journal. March 10, 2009. This city is afraid of me. I have seen its true face. Today, I made the world a better place. There was a fool, probably a low-intellect amoral type who doesn’t like anime, that I caught sight of during my holy trips to Akiba. It was on the train and he... | | |
| 11:14am | [LianYL] Cartoons From Before | | | | You know how some guys always claim that the past is always better than present? That’s bull. Proof is that every single generation says that. Nostalgia will make whatever stuff from your childhood memory appear to be awesomely good. If every single generation is worse than before, the stone age... |
| 7:29am | Are You Embarrassed by the Name of your Blog? | | | | I ask a very pertinent question, since this issue was raised in my previous post where I mentioned that I used this blog as part of my out-of-school activities during an interview. TheBigN said, "But the things you never know that can help you out or bust open new doors for you. Life is sorta... | | |
| 10:25am | I’m Off to Japan! Envy me! | | | | I’m assuming it has become customary for animebloggers visiting the Holy Land to announce their upcoming pilgrimage and elicit the envy of their readers. Therefore, I shall take this opportunity to announce that, HEY I’m going to Japan! The story of how this came to be is pretty strange,... | | |
| 5:14pm | [Ascaloth] CLANNAD ~After Story~, Episode 21 | | | | The newfound happiness is but a fleeting one; it almost seems that for our ill-fated hero Okazaki Tomoya, there’s no escaping the cursed life that has been foisted on him, as he finds out the hard way that lightning can, and does, strike twice. The loss of his greatest love five years ago had... | | |
| 7:30pm | Shangri-La: A List of Do-Nots Please, Gonzo | | | | GONZO is totally like Tottenham Hotspurs. The joke might be lost on you American readers, but Spurs are a football club that was good for a couple of years sometime in the last century and since then, its fans have been delusionally waiting for the next era of success even when it’s pretty obvious... | | |
| 3:35am | Diary of an Otaku #1: An Introduction | | | | Did the Densha Otaku keep a diary? No, because he was a sell-out. What true otaku abandons his true love just for some old woman he meets on the train? Not me, because I am a true otaku. I’ve decided to start keeping a diary like Rorscharch in case anything epic happens to me. Who am I? I am Moeman.... |
| 5:41pm | Why I’m not FUNNY Anymore. | | | | There was a time when this blog was considered a funny one. A time when it almost won the prestigious Anime Blog Awards for Most Funny Blog.
