| 3:25am | A baby step into figure photography | | | | I love looking at photographs of anime figures but I’ve never tried to take any nice photos myself. First, I felt I didn’t have the necessary equipment. Second, I didn’t have any knowhow and didn’t know where to start. But I’ve recently become the reluctant owner of a... | | |
| 10:41pm | NG Life Vol 1 by Mizuho Kusanagi Manga Review | | | | Title: NG Live Vol 1 Author: Mizuho Kusanagi Publisher: Tokyopop ISBN: 9781427814456 May Contain Spoilers Keidai is more than a little unique. The high schooler remembers his previous life as Sirix, a gladiator in Pompeii, and he’s surrounded by his friends from that... | | |
| 7:17pm | Gia on Azumanga |  | | | Gia’s article at AnimeVice reminds us about the 10th anniversary of the original manga run. It’s going to be three long years until the anniversary of anime. Azuma’s manga upon which it’s based is a 4koma comic strip, and in my opinion helped pave the way for later such strips... | | |
| 1:29am | Aging, Rambling Old Man | | | | Being a silly American, I bought the US release of Persona 3 FES when it came out last April. I even pre-ordered it, counting on the buzz of friends and foes alike. It did turn out to be a great little PS2 gem, even for someone who generally avoids RPGs on the console like myself. I chalk it up to that... | | |
| 11:24pm | Aria the Natural: Episode 1 Commentary | | | | In short, this episode pleases me. On top of that, I saw world-building and character-building in the most subtle way. I like the use of Carnaval, as well. I’m sure it’s easy to go in the wrong direction when switching in a new opening song, but I can’t think of a series yet where... | | |
| 3:13am | Random Stuff for Feb. 20: PSP Get!, etc. | | | | Hey, y’all! It’s been a month since I posted last. Miss me?. orz. I’ve been tweeting rather than blogging since it requires less effort to write 120 characters (or less) than do a whole post. Can’t help being lazy (^^;; So, follow me on Twitter if you want to know what I’m... | | |
| 1:39am | Haibane Renmei ep 2 - I Wonder If The Town I Know Is Beyond That Wall? | | | | Before Aria came along, there wasn't really much competition for 'best anime town ever' with Haibane dominating the category. Episode 2 is mostly about exploring some of the town and introducing Rakka to some of it's facets. It's not a full-scale town rundown, as only so much can be done in one day,... | | |
| 5:38pm | Kipi Elite Cosplay Queen Gallery |  | | | This gallery is of Kipi, one of the most recognized, if not the best known Japanese cosplayer to foreign audiences. She is undoubtedly best know for her near infinite portfolio of supreme Haruhi Suzumiya cosplay, but her wonderful portrayals of Asuka Langley Sohryu (getting a separate article too)... | | |
| 2:13am | Carnival in Venice |  | | | “Wonder if I’ll see some anime cosplayers at the piazza”“Getting cold for me, I’m prolly the only one in all Venice who’s out with only a shirt. No wonder I keep getting funny looks!”“And I already thought it was because of my ARIA t-shirt I am wearing... | | |
| 8:34pm | Aria the Animation: Episode 13 | | | | For a final episode (of the first series), Aria the Animation finishes in a lovely and soothing fashion. There were a few times I was afraid things were going to go overboard (namely the cat scene), everything fit nicely into place. Considering all the e-mails going back and forth, I expected fully... | | |
| 7:38am | Eri Kawai Memorial Album, "Himawari" | | | | As a huge ARIA fan I was surprised and saddened last year to hear the news of Eri Kawai's death. I still don't know much about it but I'm fairly sure she was very young, and it really came out of nowhere. As I was browsing Anime News Network I saw that Victor Entertainment has released... | | |
| 4:44am | Gashapon Sucks!! | | | | Sucks yens, that is. It’s been a few days since I went to Tokyo for a very short business trip (I’m already back!), and the very first thing my officemates and I did after checking in our hotel: Find a place with lotsa gashapons, because I’ll totally FAIL AT LIFE if I never get to... | | |
| 10:33am | Aria the Animation: Episode 12 | | | | The “wordless” opening gave a very good feel for the start of this episode. I’ve enjoyed how this series has treated its episode openings. Similarly, this post is essentially imageless. Artistic nature? Nope, just laziness. Watching this episode makes me feel as if I’ve missed... | | |
| 9:05pm | Be Back Later; Australia | | | | 3 years into tertiary education and it has finally boiled down to this. I will be heading down under, Sydney, to be exact to finish up my degree, as part of a 2+1 package offered, this coming Tuesday. Spent the better part of the week looking for rooms to let and boy, has it been a headache. Why so... | | |
