| 8:41pm | Manifest X - Day 1 |  | | | The first official day of Manifest was a stereotypical winter day in Melbourne, Australia, as it was raining during a period in the day, and the next the sun was out. Despite this year Manifest X holding a pre-breakfast event in the city of Melbourne that day, the lines to collect one’s event passes... | | |

| 2:40am | Coscon @ Licence2Play |  | | | Last Saturday, I paid a visit to the Licence2Play (L2P) event held at the Suntec Convention Hall 603. Catered mainly for MMORPG players, there’s also a significant presence by companies such as Samsung and Audio House. The event itself does seem to be a successful one judging from the large crowd... | | |

| 8:01pm | Basquash - Gorgeous but Flat | | | | Seems to me that everyone and their grandmother is GAR for Basquash and since there was a vacancy after I decided to drop Saki, I thought it would be a good idea to check it out given some hype I ran across to. This is essentially a crossbreed of Air Gear and Gurren Lagann with just as little depth... | | |

| 4:36am | Con-g: Guelph Anime Convention | | | | Over the weekend of February 21-22nd was an anime convention in Guelph Ontario. It was part of the University of Guelph but was held at the Ramada Inn (very nice place). I was quite excited about this anime convention because they had planneda few anime quiz events. I imagined myself kicking ass in... | | |
| 12:51am | Air Gear | | | | Given my fondness for Ringo, it’s kind of funny that I haven’t watched Air Gear until like now. I did read the first few volumes of the manga, back when I read manga, so it’s not like it was just love of the character design. But, yeah, sometimes when going to watch a show with characters... | | |
| 12:34pm | Air Gear Confuses Me | | | | While I’ve not watched the anime, I’ve been reading the manga. While the art is really awesome and fanservice fans would love the manga, I found myself getting more and more lost with each recent chapter.Fanservice: The only non-confusing thing.I can’t exactly remember when the plot... | | |
| 2:57am | Tanoshimi (Del Rey UK Imprint) Dies and turns to Dust | | | | Many thanks to Ephidel for pointing this out I hadn’t put this publisher on my 2009 list for several reasons. Firstly every time I thought I was buying Tanoshimi stuff I was buying the American version (Del Rey), and secondly, I considered them dead over a year ago. According to UKAN (UK Anime Network),... | | |
| 7:37pm | Remember when Barack Obama was in the Air Gear manga? | | | | As we approach Barack Obama’s historic inauguration, I felt it would be a good time to dig up a gem from last year. Many of you may recall that Barack made a cameo appearance in Chapter 206 of the Air Gear manga as “John Omaha”: My Japanese is rather bad these days, but here’s... | | |
| 4:10am | Why I Love Anime: Letter A | | | | No direct answer to the common question of “why do you enjoy anime?”. If an anime fan thinks deeply into it, it’s a rather silly question. It’s like asking someone; “do you enjoy TV? Movies? How about music?”. The only possible downfall is the form of media. You might... | | |
| 12:22am | So, What is the Best Shounen Manga Series Now? | | | | I hear you scream, "NOOO, not the dreaded S word!" Despite anime fans’ love of bashing shounen series due to its perceived noobiness, many of us still follow quite a few of the genre’s works. We say "Ew Naruto sucks!" but go out and buy the latest volume when it arrives.... | | |
| 2:15pm | [Rakugakid] O_O I am still a contributor |  | | | Hi all. I have not posted for months now and I think everyone should have forgotten about me by now. Anyway since I am still a contributor I think I shall do a post. (Since Rdrake has been asking me to do so for about 2 months now.) I am a manga addict Since most people would probably wonder who this... | | |
