| 6:11am | “what do you think”: on anime titles | | | | My question on “What do you think” has something to do with anime names. Anime Titles are quite numerous and have varied effects on the anime itself. For example, Pumpkin Scissors was an anime that some people watched merely because of its Engrish title.

| 7:47am | Baseball, Greek goddesses and Valentine’s, among other things… | | | | I’ve been sitting around trying to figure out a good way to talk about Ookiku Furikabutte for a while, but I can’t.

| 2:03pm | Tired of Barren, Insertless Cases | | | | Something that has irritated me lately has been the increasing trend of DVD volumes coming with the disc inside the case and that’s it.

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.

| 12:42pm | Is ADV Going Down Next? |  | | | Back in August the demise of Geneon USA was announced. It was a move that shocked many American anime fans.
