| 9:24pm | TheBigN’s Crappy One/Two-Liner 2008 Fall Preview |  | | | As I’ve stated before, I haven’t done these things before because for most of the shows, I don’t know jack about them, so I thought there was no point. Well, I still think there’s no point in the matter, but because I can’t really think of anything else to post about for... | | |
| 1:42am | Oh my god, I was wrong, it was “anime” all along | | | | For almost as long as I’ve been playing video games, I have held the Megaman franchise on a pedestal atop a pillar atop a tower with seemingly never-ending steps winging towards the top. Even when it was clear the series had begun to lose steam and ideas were being rehashed, I was still all... | | |
| 2:02am | Beyond the T-Shirt: Otaku Apparel, or Lack Thereof | | | | The stereotypical image of an otaku is an overweight or underweight person wearing a t-shirt sporting an anime character on the front and possibly the back. Pants-wise, he’s wearing some kind of jeans or shorts or something. Maybe this is draped in a beat up black trenchcoat in an attempt to... | | |
| 7:06am | Cobra - The Psycho Gun #01 — How Creative… | | | | Yet another godawful 80s remake. Where have I seen something like this before? Impressions: Is it just me or has the number of decent OVAs been on a steady decline lately? Animation quality for them seems to be hitting the crapper and there are just very few of them in general. The only even really... | | |
| 4:00am | Toshokan Sensou 12 (Final) |  | | | Summary: I guess one of the burned boxes was filled with the only complete collection of Golgo 13 tankoubon, because Atushi is completely traumatized from his experience. The public is highly critical of the LDF’s decision to disobey the inspections, and Commander Inamine resigns for allowing... | | |
| 7:10am | Book (?!) Review: Manga! Manga!, Dreamland Japan (Schodt) | | | | Fred Schodt, Manga! Manga! The World of Japanese Comics (1983), Dreamland Japan: Writings on Modern Manga (1996). I’ve had these two books lying around for quite some time now, and it seems like now would be a good time to break my trend of posting reviews of things that the majority of this blog’s... | | |
| 3:54am | Manga Review: Kuishinbou | | | | Kuishinbou, Tsuchiyama Shigeru, vol 1 (2005) Every once in a while, I hear someone throw out the idea that a certain manga is made specifically for Japanese salarymen as vicarious entertainment. Sometimes the claim made by mistaken individuals in regards to works that simply have universal appeal (Golgo... | | |
| 10:37am | The Daily Dose |  | | | Reminder: There is no new episode of Macross Frontier this week. Episode 11 airs next Thursday, June 19th. GAINAX has now officially announced that Shikabane Hime is getting an anime. GARNET CROW will sing the new ending song, Yume no Hitotsu, for Golgo 13 starting in July. The CD goes on sale August... | | |
| 3:40pm | The Weekly Ratings Return… 6 June 2008 (as I forgot the Week Number). | | | | Due to the start of the holidays, I had to miss watching anime for a while and this prevented the weekly rating post from being written. As I caught up on my backlog, I got confused by the numerous series I was following. Like I’ll miss out on episode 6 and start watching 7, only realising halfway... | | |
| 4:32pm | Golgo 13 Reminds Me Of The Battle Royale Movie | | | | Not the whole series, but just episode 7. The 20 odd minutes revolve around some loser violinist who hires Golgo13 not to kill his rival, but instead, to snipe the G string of his violin so as to embarrass him during his solo. And to think he’s paying big money of such a act. What | | |
| 7:25am | (Golgo 13 Episode 7 review) What does it mean to be ‘Pro’? | | | | Hi, I’m back! I STILL haven’t assembled my gundams, gave myself the rule to clean up the room before doing so..which didn’t materialise due toYea, diablo 2, my helm, both bows and boots are unique =D the rest are rare! But I digress, the reason for this post is to bring you into the... | | |
| 6:04pm | Premiership Team of the Season: Riuva-Style | | | | Now that the Premiership has concluded for the season, we must make a team of the season post! Unlike most other people, who just blindly slot the Ronaldos, Rooneys and Fabre-Gases in like a hapless fanboy, we here at Riuva have true taste in sweaty men. Our criteria for the dream team includes not... | | |
| 11:41pm | what i was forced to watch this week #25: green green |  | | | Green Green is a fanservice anime, but unlike most fanservice comedies, it’s also a sex comedy. There’s physical comedy like when a dude gets caught trying to sneak into the girls’ locker room that you’d expect to see in a fanservice comedy, but most of the comedy revolves around... | | |
| 7:52pm | Spring Week 4 Progress Chart: 20 Faces Great. | | | | On Sundays, we’ll chart the progress of each of the anime series I’m currently following. By progress, I obviously mean how shit or good it is at the moment.Incredibly, this week had awesome episodes for many many shows, propelling them up in the ratings department. Amatsuki - But not Amatsuki.... | | |
| 7:46am | Anime Blog Awards - the write-in edition | | | | This Impz guy told me to nominate some people for some awards, and then only like one of the blogs I nominated only made it in! In protest, here’s some stuff you should read that you can’t vote for. Most of these people update more than we do! Anipages Daily writes mini-essays about art,... | | |
