| 7:01pm | Doujin Work – Another otaku culture slice of life show | | | | THIN CHARACTERS ARE THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN. I’m disappointed that Doujin Work is less about making doujinshi and more about otaku culture kinds of things in general. Even still it got some good laughs. The humor consisted mostly of sexual jokes and dirty humor. The kind of humor I find funny,... | | |

| 6:03pm | We’ll Pull Through Somehow: Onanie Master Kurosawa | | | | Tell me if you’ve heard this one before: A young man is an outcast among his peers, and he spends each day barely interacting with them. When he’s alone though, his true personality emerges, and he makes grand displays of superiority, insisting that he is above everyone else. Here’s... | | |
| 8:51am | Doujin Overload 2009 | | | | This weekend I made a trip up to Auckland to have a look at Doujin Overload, an attempt made by a small anime shop and aspiring anime artists to cultivate a culture of doujin creation similar to the one in Japan, where the Comic Market comes to mind. New Zealand has a fledgling anime fan base, mainly... | | |
| 7:30am | Mangaka-san to Assistant-san – The Best First Page EVAR | | | | That sure got my attention! I’M SOLD!!!! From the Creator of Doujin Work comes Mangaka-san to Assistant-san! A four panel comic about the life of Respected Mangaka Aito Yuuki, his lovely assistant Sahoto Ashisu, who would do anything to help her superior meet the deadline, and Mihari Otosuna,... | | |
| 8:34pm | Letter D | | | | Finally! Another installment of the “I love anime” section. All I do is blurb about anime within the specific letter of the alphabet. Today it’s Letter D. So get ready for some Digimon, Devil May Cry and what’s first? D.N.Angel :O D.N. Angel On Daisuke’s 14th birthday,... | | |
| 5:48pm | Yukari Higa Info |  | | | So I fangirled when I found out my favorite artist ever was doing the Nanoha manga. But what ANN fails to tell me, I find through livejournal. She is also doing the new (?) Kiddy Grade manga! Of course I’m talking about Yukari Higa. Let’s try and get some more information available, okay?... | | |
| 12:18pm | Shopping in Akihabara |  | | | Member meronpan goes on a spending spree in Akihabara and shows us his goodies with more details at kare no burogu. I remember the first few times I went to Akihabara - spend most of my money in one visit! Back in those days, there wasn't really any more stuff (over 15 years ago) and I spent most... | | |
| 1:46pm | It Had To Happen Some Time (Addressing The Lantis And “Sunrise” Debacle) | | | | Oh Noes I’m Using A Screenshot From A Sunrise Anime! Good Thing They Aren’t Actively Sending Out Cease And Desist Letters Like Lantis Is Or I Could Get In Trouble. Eeeeeek! It was around this time in a 25 cour season shows run that a famous interview broke regarding a certain director’s... | | |
| 9:37pm | Penguin Pantsu Malfunction |  | | | Penguin Musume here is having a wardrobe malfunction of a rather chilling nature, perhaps thanks to Penguin Musume B. The penguins themselves seem unmoved. From a doujin work by sadly unprolific master Yukimi, or Enuma Elish when publishing doujinshi; the work in question is called Flera, and you can... | | |
| 5:35pm | 2008 Was So-So | | | | In terms of the anime year, the anime released for 2008 was subpar. It does not compare to the ever excellent 2007, simply one year ago! As per usual, Anime-Source is planning the end of the year survey. I’ve been brainstorming on what I might select, but from all possible titles, he “best”... | | |
| 5:34pm | Web Stats for the Year 2008 | | | | As I only started using Google Analytics in July 2007, 2008 is the first full calendar year that I have data, so, alas, I can’t make any comparisons to past years just yet. However, to see all the statistical goodness for 2008, look below the fold. Here are the core numbers: Visits: 85,910 Page... | | |
| 10:13pm | “Haven’t you got a little bigger?” – Clannad Nude Filter |  | | | In something of a change, this nude filter not only features Kyou Fujibayashi and Kotomi Ichinose of Clannad doing a spot of friendly comparison, but also features a doujin work rather than the usual target of official art. I have to say, much of the Clannad fan art is vastly more appealing than the... | | |
