| 1:59pm | Anime nowadays is at a standstill. True or not? | | | | Okay, so the discussion has been going on in a number of posts and shoutboxes, but the subject is interesting so I decided to make one post about it. Blogsome unfortunately doesn’t support the option to move comments, so I’ll instead quote what the different people have said about it. It... | | |
| 2:45pm | Hakaba Kitaro: Dances With Mononoke | | | | I think the world needs more Denki Groove OP themes. [->] And I couldn’t resist the bad title joke-pun once I thought of it. Hakaba Kitaro is probably the closest I’ll get to reading the original Mizuki Shigeru GeGeGe no Kitaro manga (unless some kind soul is translating it in some capacity... | | |
| 9:04am | Mononoke - hime (Thoughts / Favourite Scenes / Making of Documentary) | | | | Mononoke-hime (Princess Mononoke) is tied as my favourite Ghibli film (along with Mimi wo Sumaseba) and also happens to be one of my favourite works of fiction altogether. It is such an expansive story with a rich mythological backdrop and epic scale - but without sacrificing the more intimate, human... | | |
| 9:00pm | Munto AMVs | | | | Well, it's been some time since my last AMV. Apparently I've been known as one of the pioneers in AMVs and I've even made it to the top of Helium.com's tutorial on AMV creation..but sadly, its been about 4+ years since my last one (I will make one eventually ^^;;). That hasn't stopped my fiancee Danielle.... | | |
| 5:51pm | Historical artifact | | | | Richard the bodhran player and his '67 Camaro convertible Note the license plate. It was Richard who loaned me his copy of Princess Mononoke several years ago and thus made The Kawaii Menace inevitable. (Richard’s brother has an astonishingly huge old Cadillac. There’s room for a children’s... | | |
| 7:56pm | Hayami Saori -- the new Kawasumi Ayako or the new Shimamoto Sumi? | | | | I keep rewatching episodes of Eden of the East, partly just to hear more of the beautiful voice of Hayami Saori 早見沙織. The 17-year-old Hayamin is coming into her own with her starring role as Saki.In the thread about her on 2channel, the Japanese discussion board, her growing number of fans have... | | |
| 11:15am | The Pros and Cons of Technology and its Effects on Society: Magic Geox | | | | The Magic Geox comic series is often underappreciated and overlooked. This is especially the case with issue 12 of the series. This issue, titled Magic Geox andthe School of Magic, manages to blend subtle societal commentary with deep, complex characters in a unique setting combining magic and technology... | | |
| 12:00am | Before I Knew it, I Became a Gundam Fanboy | | | | In this post I reflect on some stardust memories. I was a mecha fan before I was an anime fan (if that’s even possible), but I’ve only become a fan of Gundam sometime after I started writing here in October of last year. It doesn’t mean that I love Macross less, there’s just... | | |
| 9:46pm | Mushrambo The Movie - 1 Review - 15/100 | | | | Note: this is a rant, and a pretty big one. Mushrambo, or Shinzo as it’s also been called, is one of the guilty pleasures that I watched when I was still in my early teens, back when Dutch children’s television had yet to descend into utter crap. My taste was pretty bad at the time, but... | | |
| 10:11am | My Neighbor Totoro - Just not my cup of tea | | | | I have never seen a Miyazaki film ever. Mostly because his films just look so simple, sound overrated and unappealing to my tastes, but everyone out there is like, “How can you be into anime so long and have not seen a Miyazaki film especially Totoro?” or “You aren’t a true... | | |
| 2:54pm | The 2nd anniversary of Iwa ni Hana, and a wishlist for 2009 | | | | Ladies and gentlemen - Iwa ni Hana enters the second anniversary this month! The past two years have been fruitful. Not that I have been able to sustain interest in anime/manga continuously throughout my life - there have been lapses for years at a stretch. Two years ago, I was brought back into the... | | |
| 6:23pm | Yuri Manga: Yuri Hime, Volume 14, Part 1 | | | | Comic Yuri Hime, Volume 14 starts right off with "Creo, the Crimson Crisis." Color pages, adverts for things like the Yuri Hime calendar, Soulphage and YH collections are followed by a chapter in which Suoh remains a wet rag and her sister's illness appears to be an advanced form of Vampirism. Important... | | |
