| 6:12am | Instant pre-review: Martian Sucessor Nadesico | | | | ALL THE TEXT ON THIS DVD IS IN BANK GOTHIC, I WANT MY $2 BACK RIGHTSTUF Nice OP, though. If my Macross 7 torrent finishes soon, I won’t have to watch anything but 90s space shows for months! |
| 7:46am | Anime Blog Awards - the write-in edition | | | | This Impz guy told me to nominate some people for some awards, and then only like one of the blogs I nominated only made it in! In protest, here’s some stuff you should read that you can’t vote for. Most of these people update more than we do! Anipages Daily writes mini-essays about art,... | | |
| 7:36pm | In Regards to Recent Blogosphere Drama | | | | I would just like to point out that we here at welcome datacomp were hating on Kanokon way before it was cool, as seen by the post directly before this one. We’re just that ahead of the curve. That is all. | | |
| 7:50am | Ballad of a Shinigami light novel review | | | | Light novels are the hottest new thing from Japan–a close sibling to manga that’s the basis for many popular franchises! These bite-sized novels include both black-and-white and color illustrations, and bring fans the most authentic reading experience short of learning Japanese! Thanks,... | | |
| 3:34am | around the internet and back in three links | | | | For the argumentative-about-the-americ an-industry types: Steve Harrison has some strong thoughts on where the American anime industry is going in the new issue of psychommu gaijin. (Warning: the link is a 100mb pdf file. If you have some sort of supercomputer you can try http://www.scribd.com/doc/2160... |
| 1:04am | Smoke is not this color, Japan | | | | You’re trying to get me banned from /jp/, aren’t you? I don’t really know anything about figures, so I can’t say much about this one, but as far as Kino figures go it’s pretty cool. Looks like it’s already discontinued, though. |
| 7:54am | pictures of hakaba kitarou | | | | The visual style is really interesting; it looks like an animated comic (ie, it has the same colors as the only American comic I own, so therefore I’m an expert on it) and the Mononoke-like parchment effect over everything gives the characters just as much detail as the background, which... | | |
| 9:08am | Review: Kara no Kyoukai movie 2 | | | | Watched the movie this morning after waiting in a line for an hour with a bunch of nerds who were doing things like reading the Spice and Wolf novels and playing PSPs. Part 2 concentrates almost exclusively on the initial meeting between Mikiya and Shiki. Mikiya pretty much instantly falls in love... | | |
| 2:05pm | INSTANT REVIEW: nichijou vol. 1 | | | | A gag manga featuring quirky girls in school. Though my reasons for buying this are faulty at best (was placed next to Yotsuba& on display, author uses archaic “wi” in name) I was greatly rewarded for my purchase! Of course, I’m not very well-versed in gag manga, so this might... | | |
| 12:56pm | Review: Kara no Kyoukai pt. 1: Overlooking View | | | | When planning my trip over here to Glorious Nippon, I had initially scheduled something very foolish. That is, I thought that I’d be able to go catch Kara no Kyoukai on the night of the 28th at the 10pm showing, despite having to be up the next day at 6 for comiket. I’m not entirely sure... | | |
| 8:38am | new years eve 2007 vs new years 2008 | | | | 12/31/07:long lines (though shingo has my eternal gratitude for helping me bypass the worst one)neko miko reimupornography 1/1/08:long linesrl mikostakoyaki I’m still debating which one wins out. Pictures of my ~$400 spent (wasted) at comiket possibly to follow, depending on whether or not Yodobashi... |
| 1:30am | correction and addendum to “c73 day one” | | | | addendum: I will not be going to day 2 of c73, my legs hurt too much and I’ll end up spending a lot of money on doujins that I won’t read. there are a few circles that I regret missing (keroro rozen maiden crossover, these guys, but I want to be in good shape for tomorrow. correction: the... |
| 10:40pm | c73 day one | | | | I set my alarm to go off at 6 in the morning so that I could leave right at about dawn to line up for day 2 (no homo), but despite my mind saying yes, my legs said “no fuck you sit right back down and don’t you dare use me, write a blog post or something.” So! Yesterday was the first... | | |
