| 3:56am | FlareKnight at Anime North |  | | | Well it does seem fitting that one of my first editorial posts comes in regard to Anime North. Was the first time I made it out to the event in a few years. So it was definitely a pretty fun time to go and see how things were out there. It always amazes you how busy things are and how dedicated some... | | |
| 11:30am | I Can’t Believe I’ll Be Putting Up a Filler Post With K-On! | | | | What an early Christmas this is. But I’m not complaining. I already said I won’t be making formal episode reviews for K-On! except if it’s an episode wherein they actually play– just like in episode 6. Just a few scenes-worth of review would be enough, right? So let’s... | | |
| 12:45am | Yen Plus Issue 09 April ‘09 - Thoughts & Impressions | | | | This is my sixth and final catch up post. I’m still waiting on the next issue to be delivered so i’ll post it when it arrives. The Nightschool cover was awesome and has a great feel about it. The Soul eater one is nifty, but lacking something IMO. I’m starting with the manhwa side this time,... | | |
| 10:26pm | Yen Plus Issue 08 March ‘09 - Thoughts & Impressions | | | | This is my fifth catch up post of the Yen Plus Anthology. While I love Maximum Ride, something about this cover really turned me off. Fang looks awesome, but the other guy just looks crap. That said I like the Nabari no Ou one, it’s got a good feel to it. Once again I’m starting off with the... | | |
| 7:39pm | Yen Plus Issue 07 February ‘09 - Thoughts & Impressions | | | | This is my fourth catch up post for the Yen Plus Anthology. I like both covers of this issue, neither are the cutesy type we’ve had previously. but both have a presence about them. Both covers are from the new series starting up this month, Hero Tales by the creator of FullMetal Alchemist;... | | |
| 5:07pm | Anime Central 2009 Report |  | | | Yet another convention has been and gone, this time it’s Anime Central. Last year was really a train wreck of a convention, so I didn’t have very high hopes for this year’s model. I was very surprised to see things were handled far better this year than last. So let’s take a look at the... | | |
| 3:50pm | Yen Plus Issue 06 January ‘09 - Thoughts & Impressions | | | | This is my third catch up post on the Yen Plus Anthology. I’m not to keen on the One Fine Day manhwa cover, it looks nice true, but something is lacking from it. The Sumomomo cover is a bit better, but only cause it’s got my fave megami on it The Manhwa Side Starting off with the manhwa side... | | |
| 8:23pm | Yen Plus Issue 05 December ‘08 - Thoughts & Impressions | | | | This is the second of my catch up posts. The Sarasah cover for the manhwa side is a bit, meh. It looks like a nice picture, but it’s being suffocated by the title and the name plate. However I love the Higurashi cover, it just looks awesome and a little sexy. That cleaver though is enough to give... | | |
| 10:14pm | Yen Plus Issue 4 November 2008 - Thoughts & Impressions | | | | This is the first of six catch up posts to bring me up to date on my Yen Plus Anthology reviews. First however some bad news. It’s now been confirmed that Yen Press have withdrawn Yen Plus as a dual release in both the UK and US. While it is still available through Diamonds, it’s now double the... | | |
| 2:55pm | Spring 2009 Anime Impressions – Natsu no Arashi | | | | The latest work by Shaft, Natsu no Arashi, seems to have incurred two strikes against it before it even aired. The first is the source material comes from the creator of School Rumble. I haven’t seen this show to judge for myself but I’ve come across a lot of anger over it’s “lame ending”... | | |
| 12:55am | Recent arrivals | | | | I don’t watch as much anime as I used to, but I expect that I will always retain some interest in the art form. Now that my financial situation has improved from nightmarish to merely frightening, I can budget some occasional purchases. Noein and the first seasons of Slayers and Ah! My Goddess... | | |
