| 10:09pm | Anext08: Media Blasters Liveblog | | | | Frank Panonne and Kent Chang residing, iiiiit’s Media Blasters! They will also not have any new acquisition announcements, but we’ll find stuff to talk about anyway. They’re starting off with Seirei no Moribito, which will be hitting Cartoon Network eventually. And then there’s... | | |
| 8:09pm | Genshiken Region 2 DVD Box Covers | | | | I ordered the one on the right, which is the OVA collection. However, seeing as how the two sets match each other so well, I’m really tempted to buy season 1 even though I already have it in Region 1 Form. I also have the last two DVDs of Genshiken 2 coming as well. I’m kind of sad though... | | |
| 6:57pm | Manly is Overrated |  | | | One of the trends that I’ve noticed in my anime watching to-date is how a lot of the recent shows have male characters who aren’t afraid of expressing their more feminine side. Even the skilled warrior Thobari-sensei of Nabari no Ou isn’t afraid to show off his shoujo sparkles every... | | |
| 10:03pm | yeah, this one goes on my “most improved sequels” list |  | | | I might’ve been forced to watch Jubei-chan, but I chose to watch Jubei-chan 2: The Metal Years. It’s hard for me to think of ways in which that season didn’t improve on the original: better villain, better comedy (the monkeys!), more character development for side characters (the... | | |
| 2:19pm | the crisis of fansubs and the tension of supporting the industry | | | | Cameron’s post made me realize the absurdity with trying to maintain the “fansubs are bad, mmmkay” stance editorially while still trying to engage with anime fandom. Those reviews a blatantly egregious example of the kind of content that you totally shouldn’t be providing on... | | |
| 8:49pm | Anime Diet Radio Episode 19 - Back In The Saddle |  | | | Wowhas it been this long? This is Anime Diet Radio #19, take 3–there were two previous attempts to record this but they either had tech issues or were too long ago to be relevant anymore. (Take #2 will be released shortly thereafter as a “LOST EPISODE!”) But the whole gang’s... | | |
| 5:17pm | Genshiken 2 げんしけん Ep. 12 |  | | | Final Series Score: 7.5/10 The comic festival has come to an end, and Angela and Suzy returned to the America. Okay, my first response was one of tremendous rage. How could the writers do that to Madarame? He is the nerdiest, otakuest of them all, and he finally had a shot at getting some lovin’.... | | |
| 1:55pm | Genshiken 2 げんしけん Ep. 11 | | | | ComiFes, or the Comic Festival, has finally arrived. Ohno has a diabolical plan to get Ogiue and Kanji to admit their feelings for one another. They work together as the vendors for her comic book, and no one else from the club is allowed to interfere. Things don’t go that well. Kanji is obviously... | | |
| 1:00pm | My Delusions as a Fanboy: On Adaptations |  | | | Written by TheBigN I try to make a conscious effort not to have any expectations on hand before I watch a series, which depending on how much coverage the show is getting, is more difficult for some shows than others. The effort to do so becomes that much harder when there’s previous or source... | | |
| 1:35pm | Genshiken 2 げんしけん Ep. 10 | | | | Without a doubt, this has been the best episode of the season. There was a lot going on. Ohno’s two friends from America, Suzy and Angela, come to visit with the purpose of attending the Comic Festival. Angela, a buxom blonde, has a glasses fetish. So wouldn’t you know, she immediately takes... | | |
| 1:25pm | Genshiken 2 げんしけん Ep. 9 | | | | There was a bunch of job hunting in this episode of Genshiken. It primarily focused on Kanji’s hunt for work, and his subsequent failures. It was a bit of a downer episode, as it wasn’t all that funny, and it was somewhat depressing. There were still a few great moments, like when Kousaka... | | |
| 1:43pm | Genshiken 2 げんしけん Ep. 8 | | | | This episode focused on two characters who don’t get a lot of attention: Ogiue and Kuchiki. The first half dealt with Ogiue, and her excitement, and subsequent anxiety, about being accepted to the next Comi-Fest. She wants to create a gay-themed comic, but is embarrassed to show anyone. Somehow,... | | |
| 1:24pm | Genshiken 2 げんしけん Ep. 7 | | | | Another academic year has come to an end, and three members of Genshiken have graduated. It seems like the otaku aren’t having too much trouble finding a job, which is a good thing for them. Unfortunately, the club’s numbers are dwindling, and they don’t appear to be getting any new... | | |
| 1:11pm | Genshiken 2 げんしけん Ep. 6 | | | | After a pair of fairly awful episodes, this one was a vast improvement. Ogiue is a big time otaku hater, and refuses to accept that she is one herself. Therefore, she really wants to attend Comi-Fes, but refuses to be seen there. Through her eyes of an outsider, we get an honest, albeit frustrated,... | | |
