| 1:28am | Year in Review: The Immortal Kurenai | | | | There is a particular joy in working on multiple posts simultaneously. There is also a perversion in reveling in the fact that working ahead of schedule I can actually choose which post to go ahead first. At the same time it’s a cheerful dilemma in choosing. Only if I am guided by such simple... | | |
| 12:50am | Funimation set to announce 10 licenses in 10 days | | | | As per AstroNerdBoy: FUNimation sent me this little blurb. Not sure if you have seen the podcast yet but we’re doing a big announcement thing. Starting 12/22 we are going to announce a show a day for 10 days. Ten license announcements and not even at a convention. Wow. That should cause quite a... | | |
| 4:55pm | Why I collect 2D merchandise (Part 1) - Anime DVDs | | | | Brethen-in-bishoujo, Adun’s candid post on losing/recovering his 2D mojo struck a deep cord with me. While our experiences and expenditures do not directly correlate (woah, not even close - my anime spendings over 4 years could barely rival his epic 4 week Japan trip), I could identify with how... | | |
| 9:25pm | A desire to see snow and perhaps sorrow |  | | | Kanon is still my favorite of the three (or four?) Key adaptations that Kyoto Animation have done. I believe Clannad is superior in its themes, and the protagonist’s growth as a person far exceeds the development of Yuuichi and Yukito. However, there is one particular thing in Kanon that really... | | |
| 5:07pm | Rage Against The COSF*CKERS | | | | OH SNAP! Cosfuck, as the name implies, refers to “cosplays that are f*cked up”, a term which reeks of elitism in and of itself. By referring to a cosplay as “cosfuck”, the elitist sends out this [hidden/overt] message to the ‘accused’ cosplayer: “Your cosplay SUCKS, F*ck Off. Go... | | |
| 2:51am | Winter 2008 – 2009 Anime Preview and Watchlist | | | | I figure it’s appropriate to start writing this on Turkey Day. Physically, I’m stuffed and yet I’m trying to figure out a way to have another piece of my Mom’s apple pie – it’s simply impossible to make a better pie crust then hers. Mentally, I’m stuffed from the huge number of great fall... | | |
| 2:58am | T.H.A.T. Winter 2009 Anime Preview |  | | | KeyAni fanboy, reporting in. Once again I have taken on the responsibilities of creating the monstrosity known as THAT’s various season previews. At least since I’m doing it from the start Impz can’t whine and pawn it off on me halfway through. Plus, I’m OCD about getting... | | |
| 10:24pm | Thanksfest 2008: The Re-thanks-ening | | | | Let Miyuki represent you, the fansubber/blogger/animator/rea der Well, I may not be trying to feed turkey to my computer monitor, but I’m still having a very anime Thanksgiving here, in my dorm room, typing up a sequel to last year’s post, giving a little bit of love back to some of the... | | |
| 8:06am | [The season in question] v0.1 Kannagi, why I think it is great. |  | | | This is an unfortunate season for me as blogger but a great one as a spectator. How could such a dichotomy arise? Let me explain: First, let’s talk about the season a bit. The season is GREAT; Barack Obama is in office, the anime is glorious, my first semester in University has been amazing,... | | |
| 1:29am | Kannagi ep.1+2 |  | | | I hate slice of life and comedy. Looking at a preview image for Kannagi I thought: slice-of-life. Upon hearing a description I thought: comedy. Both things I loathe in an anime. I do not wtach comedy or slice of life. I despise them. But I felt bad for this show after it got booted from one of it’s... | | |
| 3:00pm | Sparring team Kurenai vs team Kakashi | | | | Post Authors: White shinobi & SotheTEAMS! Akatsuki seems to have disappeared for the time being, where we do not know. See this as a chance to persevere in your training. Naruto you will soon be leaving to train in the sage arts, this is your last training session with your team mates, make it a... | | |
| 5:27am | Prepare for War: An infodump on SaiMoe 2008 as it enters round 3 | | | | The tension continues to grow as we move out of the second round and into the third, where this is no longer child’s play, a domination of the popular over the obscure, but now, as the 4chan SaiMoe ads infamous put it, moe is “serious f’ing business”. Certainly we’ve seen... | | |
