If the narrator says that Remi found some money and spent it happily,...

The unsurprising part: it’s rather very good. I’ll get to that in a moment. The surprising part: I didn’t enjoy it as much as I intended. For such a thoroughly human work, I didn’t form any...

It’s not going to happen for Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 this week. Not only did it refuse to ultimately clarify the situation regarding a certain robot otaku’s welfare, it remained well within its adopted narrative...

While held this year in Somerset at the Garden State Exhibit Center and conjoined Somerset Doubletree Hotel, in years prior the convention was held at the Meadowlands Arena in Secaucus. However, seeing as this was my first ever AnimeNEXT this did...

There is warmth in these embers still, I can feel it. I just need stoke them up is all, with a bit of hard work and guts.The stupid thing is, it’s not as though I’ve stopped watching...

BECK is awesome; The anime is, and so is the manga. The music rocks, despite the Engrish. Ever since I watched the anime, I have always hoped for a live action adaptation of it, be it a movie or a drama series. Of course, a non-Hollywood adaptation.I’m...

Just a list of all the events I tentatively plan on at least checking out; figured it would make useful planning for when I should schedule the aniblogger meetup.Right now the best choice is perhaps a late lunch on Sunday, after the Visual Novels panel, which ends at 2 PM, at which point...

You never know when your dream-eating insect wielding Mai HiME knockoff will turn out to be a psychological romantic thriller, or the strange moeblob show will be full of wit and urine jokes....

It comes from the creators of Akagi and Kaiji, meaning that we get lots of mind games surrounding a god-like character,...

This is my first time, be gentle! Anyway, a lot of information comes from MAL and ANN, but in (perhaps) a nicer format. I will be completely freed from my current series...

Does solidarity triumph over economy? Vice versa? The answer is probably an ethical one, seeing as though, in this case, solidarity and economy are largely irreconcilable.Stars constitute a semiotic terrain that appropriates...
