| 8:59am | Sufoki - New Blogger In Da House | | | | Jesus159159159, who’s been a lurker on several anime blogs over the years, has finally decided to set up shop for himself it seems. This is a good thing, since he’s probably written enough in comments on other blogs to be equivalent to two years otoshidama multiple Owen-caliber blog posts... | | |
| 9:17pm | Call for nominations II | | | | The next poll will probably be anime soundtracks: which is the best? There are the obvious candidates: Noir, Haibane Renmei, nearly everything by Yoko Kanno; and some less-obvious ones: Denno Coil, Oh! Edo Rocket, Mushishi. What other examples are worth considering? Please leave your nominations in... | | |
| 8:45pm | Final Thoughts: Gunslinger Girl Il Teatrino | | | | With terrorist attacks continuing to plague Italy, the cyborg girls of Section 2 are needed more than ever- and through a mixture of conditioning and adolescent, they are more than willing to fight alongside their handlers. But even the enhanced abilities of a cyborg may not be enough to combat the likes... | | |
| 2:52pm | Tough Times For Manga and Anime Part 2 | | | | The current economic situation has taken its toll on the anime and manga industry. This 2-part series will take a quick look at the various parts of the industry. Part 1 looked at manga. Part 2 will concentrate on anime, primarily in Japan and North America. ICv2 has not yet released their... | | |
| 2:52pm | Lucky Star, Moe for What? | | | | Having finished Lucky Star recently, I get that it relies a bit on moe to carry it, but moe for what? Lucky Star offers a lot of things to go moe on, cute girls for one, that’s pretty standard, otakuisms for another (are those not cute and inept too?). For me in particular, Lucky Star left me... | | |
| 10:26am | Funimation to stream FMA2 : Brotherhood. | | | | If you haven’t yet managed to watch FMA2 :Brotherhood then you might want to check this out!! Funimation will be airing the first episode with subs, at 10:00 a.m today (time depends on your timezone of course). Their official Press Release also mentions it being available on other key-video... | | |
| 9:58pm | [Blu] Mushishi Blu-ray Box | | | | This set was getting good reviews on video quality and new 5.1 mix sound, so I ended up getting it. This show is one of my all time favorites, and I just couldn't help it. The only reason why I hesitated getting this set was that it was SD upconvert. Al.. 글 전체보기 | | |
| 8:20pm | Casshern Sins - A Surefire Favorite to the Right Audience | | | | Casshern Sins is not for everyone. The show pretty much moves at one pace, and that pace is 'slow'. There is a lot of silence, introspection, and philosophical dialog. Ordinarily, this would make one assume the show is pretentious (especially since it has a lot of similarities to Texhnolyze), but it... | | |
| 11:32am | Tytania - 24 | | | | Short Synopsis: Zalish moves in to destroy Fan and his allies. Episode Rating: 7/10 (Enjoyable) While I want to call this series a flop, I just have to admit that I was touched by the ship crashing down. That mechanic has been a very strange character, but seeing all of his work and pride destroyed... | | |
| 2:42pm | Natsume Yuujin-Chou - 18 | | | | Short Synopsis: Natsume gets visited by yet another sickeningly cute youkai who requests his name back. Episode Rating: 8/10 (Excellent) So, this was supposed to be another anime original episode, eh? I love how the fillers in this series actually make the story even better. This wasn’t simply... | | |
| 9:15pm | Sanpei Yuuko -- shounen shoujo | | | | I first heard of Sanpei Yuuko 三瓶由布子 as Koshimizu Ami's girlfriend. She and Ami even had a mock wedding reception on the radio.But she is a lot more than just a "yuri seiyuu." She, like her friend Ami, is one of the top young talents working today. Her work as Nakiami in Bounen no Xamdo is strong... | | |
| 8:22pm | 2008 Summary - Part II | | | | I originally wanted to wait with posting this until Porfy no Nagai’s final episode got released, but its time is nearly running out here. The Share-uploaders have a very cruel sense of humour: out of all the episodes they could have picked to delay, it became that one. In any case, here’s... | | |
| 1:22pm | Top Three Anime & Manga News Stories For 2008 | | | | 2008 was a very strange year for the anime and manga industry. It seemed like both anime and manga took big hits- with publishers closing, reduced selections of titles, the failure of a major live action adaptation and other troubles. But the good news underneath it all is that anime is alive and well... | | |
| 4:28am | 2008 in Review: Picks of 2008 |  | | | Another year passes. Man, it’s hard to believe I’m already in to my 9th year of being an otaku as well as my 4th year of blogging. Time sure flies. I’m now well over 1500 posts with nearly 16k comments, and it’s thanks to everyone’s support that I’ve gotten so far.... | | |
| 2:38am | Quality and quality at Nakama Britannica |  | | | The entry is mostly the familiar dogma, tired and tiresome (”In the harsh world of anime business, apparently a DVD only sells as well as the amount of scantily-clad females an artist can squeeze on to the cover” — real quote! at least we were spared bashing of Naruto), but contains... | | |
