Since bro just wanted to do a few and now that I’m officially on (paid) vacation (yay for the salary system), I’m going to take over for the rest of these posts. I noticed... | | |
| 2:59pm | 12 Anime Moments in 12 Days (Day 5) - May: Addition by Subtraction | | | | Looks like Fumika and Chiaki’s trip stateside is delayed until further notice Someone’s not happy (points at self) I think it’s time for me to get involved in the Christmas Spirit. Finished my last exam for the semester yesterday. To follow up on the aside bro-ham brought up... | | |
| 1:12pm | 12 Anime Moments in 12 Days (Day 2) - February: Harem Arms Race | | | | Ah yes the innocence of high school Unlike January, February had a few more stories and ideas. There’s actually enough events in this month that there seems to be a resounding theme. So what could it be? Well during this time, the anime bloggosphere seemed to talk about bishoujo!? February 2008... | | |
| 7:30pm | My sola AMV - First AMV I’ve Made |  | | | As I mentioned in a previous post about a convention I went to, I made a sola AMV. AMV being of course Anime Music Video. It is the first AMV I ever made but it was apparently good enough to win an award there, as it won in their category of “Grave of the Fireflies/Slit Your Wrist” for the saddest... | | |
| 2:00pm | My EXTREMELY Late Convention Report & Merchandise Arrival |  | | | This post is coming almost a month late, but at least it’s here. Last month or so I went to an anime convention. I go to this convention every year they have had it so far, and this has been the fifth annual so it’s the fifth time I’ve gone. It’s not much of a pain or expense to go to it, as... | | |
| 3:31am | Yozakura Quartet ep. 1-3 |  | | | ♪ Tsuntsun, deretsun, deretsuntsun ♪ OP Sequence: “JUST TUNE” by savage genius A very stylish OP. The song itself is very catchy while the video has a lot of different things going on with the background and special effects. Also I’ve been wondering if the person next to Ao... | | |
| 1:21pm | T-That’s Impossible: A Retrospect on Saimoe 2008, Round 3 | | | | Analysis\ up when I get the chance, but since I’ll be away from the computer for a bit, I’ve got to push this post out the door: G3-2 Results: Show ▼ Tsukasa (Lucky Star) defeats Nagi (Hayate) 1080-889 H3-1 Results: Show ▼ Noe (true tears) defeats Suzu (Nagasarete Airantou) 972-555... | | |
| 9:10pm | AV Star Sora Aoi Adapted Into Ero-Shoujo Manga |  | | | JAV star 蒼井そら / Sora Aoi (or Sola Aoi), has received a decidedly erotic manga adaptation, and what’s more, we find the pornographic performer’s 2D antics are published in Kodansha’s Dessert magazine, aimed squarely at 15 to 25-year-old females, even helpfully including furigana should... | | |
| 5:48pm | Duel of the Dark Horses: Saimoe ‘08 [3EF-1] results and [3EF-2] preview | | | | Things are looking bad for the Minami-ke ticket that could seemingly do no wrong one round ago. Now, faced with hate votes, strategic votes, and worst of all, Key characters (and I only use worst in the ‘garners ridiculous amount of votes’ sense), two of their girls got crushed pretty roughly,... | | |
| 2:30pm | Name Brand Battle: Saimoe ‘08 [3CD-2] results and [3EF-1] preview | | | | Have you had enough KyoAni yet? Even the most hardened of fanboys might admit that yesterday’s match was a bit overwhelming in Overly Popular Characters, and only one girl was unlucky enough to stand up to them The unexpected popularity of Minami-ke gave their core trio strong showings in the... | | |
| 5:27am | Prepare for War: An infodump on SaiMoe 2008 as it enters round 3 | | | | The tension continues to grow as we move out of the second round and into the third, where this is no longer child’s play, a domination of the popular over the obscure, but now, as the 4chan SaiMoe ads infamous put it, moe is “serious f’ing business”. Certainly we’ve seen... | | |

| 4:35am | NYAF Day 1 - 11~15% Unpredictable | | | | I think for the most part, my earlier whine on NYAF hit the spot. What didn’t hit the spot was that I’ve started to enjoy that party atmosphere at cons. I had to kill a few hours of time tonight so I sat in the Gundam 00 panel. The panelists are a couple Bandai dudes (that I ought to know... | | |
