| 12:58pm | How to show off your otaku pride, undetected. (Part 1) | | | | While Tj Han has written a post similar to this a long time ago, the focus is different; the post I linked to is on how not to be detected, while this one is how to go undetected by non-otaku but detected by otaku. Take note, this is simply a bunch of ideas and have not really been proven; simply put,... | | |
| 8:48am | Mokke Review - 89/100 | | | | Even though the season hasn’t officially ended yet, I’m pretty sure about my top-3 series of the Autumn-season. First place is obviously for Shion no Ou, Ghost Hound comes in second, and Mokke takes up the third spot. In a generally underwhelming season, these three series stood far above... | | |
| 3:00am | minami-ke vs. otome wa boku, dr jack style | | | | Kinda scares me that I might be one of the more qualified people in the world to write this post. No terrifies me.(Wanted to get this post up a few hours before the voting starts for this match. Meanwhile, Mushishi vs. Higurashi is coming down to the wire. Ginko fans, do you | | |
| 8:10pm | Jason Thompson and Cosplay in Comic Con Magazine | | | | Comic Con has established its own magazine– which you can get a print copy via snail mail OR a PDF copy of via download; both are free –and the first issue is out. Of interest to otaku-types: Jason Thompson talks about his current favorites (print p45, PDF p47), including Fumi Yoshinaga’s... | | |
| 7:57am | The Catchup 2: Shigofumi 4-7 |  | | | This is a show, in the end, that doesn’t fail to surprise–even if not all the surprises are (in my opinion) welcome. As the mystery of Fumika’s identity continues to deepen, the twists and turns get stranger and the potential for this show to shine–or go off the rails–becomes... | | |
| 5:12am | Spring Season Preview: Part One? | | | | It’s that time of the year again. Winter season is half-over, and information about spring is starting to pop up, and the crop looks plenty bountiful again. Toshokan Sensou: The time: the future. The occupation: firefighter librarian. The author: Ray Bradbury Arikawa Hiro. The temperature: 451... | | |
| 5:53am | Iron “rubber” ducks are the greatest thing ever | | | | It’s made of iron plates or something and it FLOATS. That’s just awesome. Oh, and Baroqueheat is cool too, but whatever. So I was a little coarse last Hatenkou Yuugi post (I think because I just didn’t like episode 3 as much and forgot a bit about episode 2 which was great) but 4... | | |
| 7:42pm | Everything, and I mean everything… | | | | Warning: Long Post Ahead Behold! My long awaited return to blogging! I kid. Anyway I finally got around to watching Mononoke, which, I have to say was an exceptionally brilliant piece of art, not just anime, but art. When you have a show like Mononoke floating in the same patch of ocean as ef, the contrast... | | |
| 10:33pm | New Manga from Del Rey | | | | Pumpkin Scissors Vol. 1 Ryotaro Iwanaga OT Ages 16+ “This book does not contain and is not based on historical facts. Please also note that standard military facts and concepts do not apply, either.’ In the aftermath of a protracted war between the Empire and the Republic of Frost that in some... | | |
| 7:00pm | Okami to Koshinryo 1 and 2: Wolf and Spice first impressions | | | | It turns out that I’ve been subconsciously selecting my viewing in a yin-yang fashion all this time, with gritty and involved sci-fi on one hand and picturesque drama on the other. Joining the latter, which includes pieces of thought-provoking gorgeousness such as Kino, Mushishi and Haibane is... | | |
| 11:00am | Kaiji 12 to 14 - See You On the Other Side | | | | Oh my God, is that a woman in a Kaiji episode?! What has the world come to?? Up is down, left is right, J.C. Staff is KyoAni!! Hmm, well at least I think that’s supposed to be a woman, anywayI dunno, Guff? What’s your expert opinion? While the skirt and sweater vest may seem indicative of... | | |
| 11:05pm | 12 things Pip should read or watch - Day 4, 5 and 6: Currently favorite blogs | | | | Again, I did not manage to stick with blogging every day. Even more than this, I actually have not stick to it for three days! But at least, I now happily have a nice new design and the sidebar just like I have always wanted it. Ah well, today we will have a feature for three days then: There surely... | | |
| 7:18am | First Look Fair: Spice and Wolf | | | | You’re so vain/You probably think this show is about you This is one of the shows I actually was looking forward to in my winter preview. And, at least based on just episode 1, it’s a show that could go in many different directions depending on how the writers do it. And, for once, the comparison... | | |
| 3:30am | Gunslinger Girl -Il Teatrino- 01 - Meh | | | | Meh is indeed my overwhelming reaction to the new season of Gunslinger Girl. It’s not terrible, certainly, but I expected much better than mediocre from both Gunslinger Girl and from Artland. The art style is noticeably similar to Mushishi (which Artland also animated), particularly the shading... | | |
| 7:00am | What Makes A Good Anime OP? | | | | Steven Den Beste made an interesting comment last week in response to our choice of Lucky Star for OP of the Year in our Best of 2007 Anime Awards, and it really set me thinking. I know which OPs I like and don’t like, of course, but I had never really stopped to consider what criteria I use to... | | |
