| 1:00pm | The Slippery Slope of a Super Speedy Shopping Trip to Akihabara | | | | So last month I had the once in a lifetime (though hopefully not) opportunity to go to Tokyo, and luckily enough, despite the super-short 4-day business trip, still had time to roam around the city, especially on the first and last day of our trip. If you’ve read my blog post more than a month ago... | | |
| 7:12am | ARIA Keychain FTW | | | | ARIA the Origination may have ended a year ago, but it still lives on in my heart. From today onwards, I can bring Akari with me everywhere I go. All Hail Akari! All Hail Akari! All Hail Akari! | | |
| 12:37am | Undine Nakiami |  | | | Late update: memes from the Megatokyo Anime Grand Prix, where Nakiami was (sadly) defeated, due to too little familiarity with her series (and the rallying cry became “Watch Xam’d now!”), and where Akari was in a match-up at the time of this posting.Posted in Uncategorized Tagged: ARIA,... | | |

| 9:29am | Aria the Natural: Episode 4 Commentary | | | | While waiting for someone, I took to looking at the DVD cover artwork. I looked over all the lines that went into drawing Akari and Alicia, something which always amazes me as I have no sense of length or proportion.

| 8:44am | Aria the Natural: Episode 3 Commentary | | | | I enjoyed the opening theme even more this time around. It has a good feel to it. To add to language used, Akari’s computer and her e-mails are all in English. I still say this series would have been perfect for an English dub. I’d be interesting in knowing the reason behind using English... | | |

| 8:51am | Aria the Natural: Episode 2 Commentary | | | | As it turns out, it’s still winter on Aqua. Apparently things were warm enough for the festivities, which might explain why Akatsuki had to get back to work.
