| 2:23am | Ginban Kaleidoscope | | | | Canon has been known to be the more popular of the big two brands, but I think in Japan, Nikon remains more popular which is possibly why I tend to see so many Nikons in anime (that, or just a coincidence).This anime features a Canadian aerobatic pilot (wtf) so I had to watch it. Also | | |
| 11:02pm | what i was forced to watch this week #18: pretear |  | | | I could’ve sworn that I’d heard Pretear used a few times as a baseline for bad magical girl shows. From that, I was expecting this show to be really bad and this post to be about what makes a magical girl show bad. When I tried Googling for phrases like “pretear bad review”,... | | |
| 12:09am | what i was forced to watch this week #12: ginban kaleidoscope |  | | | I haven’t seen very many sports anime. The only ones I can think of off of the top of my head are Umisho, and if you count it, Yakitate Japan. But both of these are comedies, and the comedy is the focus, rather than the sport. Ginban Kaleidoscope probably doesn’t really count either.... | | |
| 11:34pm | Ginban Kaleidoscope - Finished |  | | | So, because a room mate made me feel a bit depressed like, I figured I’d watch something cheery. So of course, it was some more Ginban Kaleidoscope. I don’t know if anyone else noticed this, but every time someone said “The Organization” I thought of something large and evil,... | | |
| 8:57pm | Ginban Kaleidoscope - Started |  | | | So, I also started Ginban Kaleidoscope. I have to say, when I first heard this described the whole “Canadian ghost figure skater stunt pilot” did not sound terrible appealing. But, following off of Umisho, I figured it couldn’t be too bad. (And I felt like something funny.) About 10... | | |
| 9:37pm | Sky Girls - The Satire Within | | | | It’s relatively fair to label Sky Girls as a typical otaku-wallet-driven mechamusume pandering ball of fuss. Just because it can carry its own weight as a character-driven story (like many others before it) and take itself seriously enough doesn’t mean it’s any good (but also certainly... | | |
| 8:29am | Wikipedia and anime |  | | | Jason made a post about how 26% of all search queries on Wikipedia are anime-related. Then, he took it further and proclaimed Wikipedia to become a premier anime website.Aside from AoD and maybe ANN, there really weren’t any place to find information about anime. Sure, you could hunt through | | |
| 8:00am | Who likes Licensing Anyway? Then just think of what they could do to it… | | | | Lots of licensing going around now, ya know cons make that stuff happen. So like the good person I am, I have been reading to see what is up. So now I’m going to go and talk about them and see what crazy ideas I can think of that the companies could do to mess with these releases. So let... | | |
| 6:11am | Ore no Negai~ My Birthday Desires ^^ |  | | | Here's a list of some of the things I might get for my birthday (which is tommorrow). I get free-use of $100 (maybe more), so I'll be able to get most of these ^^;; Of course, there isn't much anime stuff more manga/light novels and video games than anything else. ^^;;Anime-Shakugan no | | |
| 3:11am | Interview with Hung |  | | | The Sea Sliugs posted an interview with Hung of BasuGasuBakuHatsu. I expected them to touch upon the reviewing of free stuff and Steven’s criticism, but not plopping it right on top. No burying the lede here, that’s for sure. Hung himself handled the “incident” with | | |
| 6:44am | Wiimote isn’t the only unique controller | | | | Move over, Wiimote, there’s a new controller in town. A graduate student at NYU has made a controller that helps couples become more intimate, The controller is a bunch of sensors that fits inside of a bra for women or on the back of underwear for men. The partners touch | | |

Kakunojo has cleansed me of my hatred of BI and need for outdated HARD GAY, and so I am finally free to experience heights of Pleasure I never knew before!(Akidzuki: You... | | |
| 9:34am | Eminient Apathy All Around | | | | Otakon announces AAA - a teen pop/r&b group that actually kicks a lot of ass for the type of pop entertainment. They’re the headliner musical guest for the con this year.Too bad nobody cares about them except a tiny group of neophyte weeaboo chasers and the teenage nation of Japan. | | |
