I’m not sure that they could have pronounced Schrodinger any worse. Shu-rei-do-ing. Aaaaaaanyway, the first segment was on Schrodinger’s cats sorta. They did kind of corrupt it a bit to mostly...

But I'm not sure the quality -- or at least the appeal to my taste -- will be that high. I don't see any shows I expect to be as good as the great shows of this past summer season, such as Aoi Hana and Bakemonogatari. But...

It was...

So begins the musings of the latest episode of Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei.From giving out crappy birthday presents for a birthday that you'd forgotten...

Then they accidentally killed Itoshiki and Chiri’s murderous...

I don’t think it’s too early...

Congrats to Eva and Biribiri. Next set of matches, I want to see Shiho win but have to face reality. Meh, I just have to believe! Oh, and there’s also some girl named Haruhi up next. C’mon Ritsu!

So just when you think K-ON was having a bad Saimoe year, two characters from the series advance on the same day. Unfortunately Index had to lose in the first round. Maybe if all those votes for Kaori went to her instead nevermind. Azunyan is just as nice. And Taiga...

NO! It was in April! I skipped a whole 4 months? Must be because I've been losing hope in my future in the anime industry. =_=;; Here's the truth: For about 3 years I've been planning my life so that I can get a job as a professional...

I used to think little of this sort of whining, mainly labeling it as oldfags’ stubborn refusal to keep up with the times. That is until the same feeling hit me and the idea...

I’m 2 hours early for the rerun.Impressions:Gee, have I noted Shaft’s massive reuse of footage and cheap techniques this season?Not exactly the strongest episode of the season. We pick up right where we left off last episode, complete...

It started out being just about getting nailed with unexpected extra costs (like having to buy ice after buying meat from Horie Yui, or ink for a printer),...

I guess it’s just human nature, we all have different opinions. Bakemonogatari seems to have copped a little flak lately but fair enough. It’s odd. The long periods of pan shots in some places could be annoying. The pages and pages of text that are shown...

Some have been forgotten undeservedly. Cool Cool Bye (1986) is one of the ones that's been undeservedly forgotten.Not only does Cool Cool Bye boast one of the most awesome titles ever, it also boasts... Fri, 14 Aug 2009 03:32:00 GMT
