2:12am | Naruto -Shippuuden- 233 |  | | So it was a bit disappointing that the first half of the episode was spent on discussion while the last 5 min or so is where the real action was. I guess the good stuff is actually next week and not this week. So when they met up with Itachi (or so you think it’s Itachi) there was of course | | |
1:50am | Chicago Sun-Times orders sushi, performs DNA tests on food | | | I don’t know why the Sun-Times decided to write an article about DNA testing their food. I mean, I do it all the time — it’s how I know that I’m getting the quality food that I ordered. Sure, the DNA testing may cost hundreds and thousands of times more than the actual food, | | |
12:17am | DVD Review: Ah My Goddess: Flights of Fancy | | | Man, am I sucker for romantic comedies. So, what I got in the mail was the start of the second season of Ah My Goddess, a series which I haven’t watched the first season of. So naturally, I’m the perfect person to review it! In all seriousness, though, this is a decent series.What | | |
6:00pm | FiguNews: ALTER - 1/6 Saber PVC (Maid Ver) [Fate/hollow ataraxia] | | | What do we have here again? Another Saber in maid costume. First impression isn’t too good. In my opinion, her face sculpt looks slightly off. It is almost like ALTER trying to differentiate this version from others, but maybe a little too much. Personal take? GSC’s version of Saber in | | |
7:33am | Nodame Cantabile Vol. 3 - Manga Review | | | So one good thing (or bad thing, depending on your opinion) about the Nodame Cantabile anime is that they skip a lot of stuff from the manga. So you can watch the anime, then read the manga and still get new content! New filler content!Story:In this volume of Nodame Cantabile, Chiaki gets to first | | |
2:38am | Hanayome to Papa - 05 |  | | It makes me so sad to see this is in last place in my poll. It’s such a good drama!! Oh and I also discovered the Narumi’s actor is the son of the former Japanese prime minister, Koizumi O_O! It really gives you the feel for what it’s like to be entry level in the workplace and | | |
1:14am | wow, the extras in the haruhi dvd box set are impressive |  | | I was checking out my Amazon recommendations, and one of them was the upcoming volume one release of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (which comes out on May 29). There’s so much crap in this box that even Deep Discount DVD, (where I buy all of my DVDs, anime and Hollywood alike because they... | | |
8:05pm | Insert “impalement” / “pop-up” joke here | | | In case the scads of awesome anime toys Japanese people get pre-rest of the world wasn’t sufficient, Takara Tomy has come up with a variation on their pirate-in-a-barrel toy with Johnny Depp’s help:Every time the sword is inserted, Captain Jack Sparrow will scream out the famous lines | | |
6:31am | Ikkitousen |  | | View the rest of this post ( 8 images )The last of the WHF coverage. We have seen the amiami pics before but not in the flesh. I know that the pink garment is cast off enabled but whats that white thing - a towel? Cant remember Sonsaku looking this nice in the anime. I mentioned that I was going | | |
4:39am | Game Review: Pokemon Diamond & Pearl(US version) |  | | I wrote a review of the Japanese version of D&P back in October though I hadn’t covered many of the new features. But now that I’ve been playing the US version and have gotten a lot further in the game, I figured now’s a good time to complete my review of these incredible new | | |
2:23am | The Recipe For Gertrude Vol. 2 - Manga Review | | | So Julie from MangaManicCafe had told me in the comments section of my review of Recipe For Gertrude 1 that the manga gets better as the story progresses. This was especially good news, since I thought the first volume was good to begin with! So yeah, here’s my review of The Recipe For | | |
8:29pm | Da Capo II anime announced! | | | According to Moon Phase Zakki, the latest issue of Comptiq has revealed that an anime adaptation of D.C. II is in the works. While being terribly vague (a huge understatement on my part) on the details, it seems to me that a 26-episode series is implied. Or maybe it’s just my imagination.For | | |
6:43pm | Panties = world news | | | First up on our female underwear agenda this morning is this wonderfully simple game show: girl gets flipped over a guy’s head, panties show in amounts inversely proportional to her ability to keep her legs shut on the way down, and the profits roll in. Hit the jump for more of the same, | | |
11:32am | A bunch of figures to order! | | | One of the whole bunch of bad things of an otaku not being in Japan is missing out Akihabara, Comiket, Figures, WF, WHF, maid cafes, more maid cafes, and more more maid cafes and their maids going | | |
