| 1:37am | Watching Crap Anime for the Actor | | | | There are a lot of actor fans out there who would watch every film or TV show with their favorite actor in it. That is basically the same as your average seiyuu-ota types. The difference is that in Japan they’re all into brand management and the like, and for some of these seiyuu types, they... | | |
| 12:58am | NANA - Chapter 83 | | | | When I first laid eyes upon this cover art, I was temporarily whisked away into a fantasy world where Nobu and Hachi would miraculously have a change of heart and fall madly in love with one another all over again, living happily ever after in their own Paradise.

| 12:17pm | BECK Live Action Movie?! HELL YEA! | | | | I’ve said this before, and I’ll say this again. BECK is awesome; The anime is, and so is the manga. The music rocks, despite the Engrish.
