| 8:13pm | Wasting time | | | | I came across yet another damned book meme over at Robbo’s, and I thought that adapting it for anime might be a pleasant way of spending a lunch hour. • What anime are you watching now? The only current series I’m following is Macademi Wasshoi, and if there are more episodes like the fifth,... | | |
| 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... | | |
| 3:05am | what i was forced to watch this week #49: bakuretsu hunters |  | | | MOAR LIKE BAKUNYUU HUNTERS AMIRITE? Bakuretsu Hunters is basically a shittier, not funny version of Slayers with bigger boobs and no fish mans. The above sequence was really the only part of the show that was in any way memorable for me. Basically, it made me lol super hard. While fighting the... | | |
| 6:38pm | Toonami + My Anime Beginnings | | | | This is a few months late but I just had to write about this. After reading Sanjo-chan's blog on it I had to put in my two-cents. Many of you otaku know that Toonami stopped airing in late September. Many of us can thank Toonami for turing us into otaku. I started... | | |
| 5:03pm | A quick word on Bakeneko, Mononoke and the Noh | | | | I have always sought to put into words why the revelations of the past in Bakeneko and Mononoke are so powerful - great direction aside. Those passages, though brief, are like a sudden upward spikes in one's emotional scale (didn't anyone else feel the same way?). Then I ran into this quote... | | |
| 1:10pm | Introducing Japanese illustrator Kato Aya | | | | Fans of Mononoke would undoubtedly love the artstyle of Kato Aya. There is such a rich mix of aesthetic influences in her works - anything from bonzai, Greco-Roman art, ukiyo-e, washi, Beardsley, Klimt, art deco to Tibetan mandala It seems that she is a relatively new artist and I have not been able... | | |

| 3:59pm | $230,000 | | | | Nick did a little research into the production costs of several movies. If his figures are accurate, what’s astonishing is not how much Princess Mononoke cost but how little Five Centimeters Per Second and Perfect Blue did. ***** Since Amaenaideyo!! has been licensed, I dropped it from the poll... | | |
| 5:47pm | San | | | | So my real name is San, and I thought I’d list all these anime characters I’ve encountered deemed San. I thought my name was unique, for I have never met another San. However, there are apparently plenty of San’s around asia D: Mamotte! Lollipop • Princess Mononoke Seto no Hanayome... | | |

| 11:43pm | Studio Ghibli Ero Gallery |  | | | I must admit I was very surprised at the quality of the erotic Studio Ghibli parodies around; they seem capable of attracting some talented artists indeed. You can see the fruits of their labours in these images. Nausicaa seems to feature prominently, which is as well as the manga is a truly magnificent... | | |
| 1:24am | Sengoku Basara Fun - I AM THE RED CAPE DIVER | | | | EDIT: OMG I began this post with a 7 line nonsensical run-on sentenceSo I was trying to use Shin’s (who you probably know better as all the comments I get with random linkless names like ‘no name’ or ‘meh’) modded PS2 to watch a region 2 Mononoke Hime DVD that i caught for... | | |
