| 9:43pm | The ultimate anime questionnaire |  | | | I’m feeling under the weather today, so we’re having a light topic for this post. Some years ago on my old fan site, I made a questionnaire that covered just about every aspect of someone’s anime fandom. Today I’ll be making a long overdue updated version of it, and would also... | | |
| 4:30pm | Funimation Stavromula Beta | | | | Funimation having a community/streaming site has been a long time in the making. Some may remember the scrapped ShoDojo they were touting at conventions for a while. Even this beta has taken a while to come to fruition as it was being advertised last year in a number of convention guide books. Since... | | |
| 4:24pm | Winter Season Preview | | | | The upcoming Winter Season will suck? Hell no! In fact, I see no way in which it isn’t going to be able to be better than the Winter of 2010. I’m actually very much looking forward to it. I’d like to call it the season of mysteries: there are a ton of series that really can go anywhere,... | | |
| 4:15pm | (Ooohhhohohohoho…) | | | | In a dream I found myself watching an episode of a Slayers anime. It wasn’t an OVA or a movie as it featured the TV series cast, though it did make a reference to the OVAs. In the one scene I “watched,” an unidentified character who knew Lina Inverse’s history notices a sleeping... | | |
| 8:46pm | Unfunny Internet Meme Comics #7-12 | | | | Author was asking me earlier in the week if the black-haired girl from the last, what I like to deem as, “Lazy Comic” (in so much as it’s not what I’d consider Waffle-verse, though perhaps I would consider it “Core Continuity”) had made a prior appearance, to which... | | |
| 11:30pm | Slayers Revolution | | | | So this is a bit backwards – as I havn’t gotten around to writing that review of the first 3 Seasons of Slayers – but I wanted to get this out of the way and it’s relevant to current issues in my internetting.For a short synopsis – the story this season is basically about... | | |
| 3:52pm | Spring Season Preview | | | | Back in 2008, I started a little experiment: what if I were to avoid all kinds of promotional material before the start of a season. Would that be better for my expectations of each individual season? The answer to that is: No. Sure, I got no expectations of the majority of the anime that aired, but... | | |
| 4:17am | Cel vs digital: does animation style affect overall quality? | | | | (Left) Lina from Slayers Next, 1995; (Right) Lina from Slayers Revolution, 2008 Ever since all anime switched from cel animation to digital animation back in the early 2000s, there has been some debate among fans about whether story/character quality has decreased even though animation techniques have... | | |
| 10:09pm | Final Thoughts: Slayers Revolution | | | | With the Sword of Light lost during the events of Slayers Try, Lina and Gourry are on the lookout for a new weapon for the hapless swordsman- but as so often seems to happen, trouble gets stirred up along the way. Whilst Lina’s destructive ways finally draw the attention of the authorities, she also... | | |
| 11:33am | Anime Sales Rankings Feb. 6 - Clannad & Macross On Top |  | | | These are the sales rankings for anime DVDs as compiled by Oricon for the week of Feb. 6 2009. In addition, the much longed for availability of BD sales rankings is slowly arriving, albeit still lacking exact sales numbers and being reported with a significant delay. It has been some time since we... | | |
| 2:05am | Slayers:Evolution-R must spawn more Overlords | | | | Given how disappointed I was with Slayers: Revolution, I should have had much lower expectations of Slayers: Evolution-AARGH. But it seems fanboy hope springs eternal as I was disappointed with the first episode, especially the lack lustre OP song. While I’m in agreement with Aroduc and Star Crossed... | | |
| 6:03pm | Funi’s Licensing Spree: What They Got, And What They Seem To Have Missed |  | | | Funimation had been seriously hyping up their New Year’s “New Show A-Go-Go” licensing announcement spree. They left clues hidden around their website for us to decipher, and promised a new show announcement every day for 10 days up until New Year’s Eve (starting on 12/22). Turned... | | |
| 5:10pm | 2008/2009 Winter Anime Menu | | | | Super delayed preview, as always! woohoo!! Better late than never, right? It’s that time of the year when the chefs get together and actually post something to bring you this comprehensive list of animes due this season. Without further ado, we bring to you this almost complete list of this sequel-filled... | | |
| 4:52pm | Anime Vice Check-In 01/01/09 | | | | Happy New Year, everyone! This will probably be the last time I do one of these check-ins, although I’m looking into having a plug-in that’ll round up the Anime Vice twitter daily. We’ll see if I can find something. In the mean time Tuesday 12/23 - Haruhi-chan Beats Haruhi by a Mile... | | |
