| 2:25am | Otakon 2008 - Final Thoughts | | | | Hopefully the last Otakon 2008 post I’ll be making as I’m sure everyone and their cats are sick of me talking about the con for so long. My thoughts on Sunday’s concerts, last minute shopping, and the many characters I met after the jump. BTW, this turned out to be a long post really... | | |
| 1:16am | Thoughts on Code Geass 18 |  | | | After marathoning twenty episodes of Legend of the Galactic Heroes in a row I can tell ya, Schneizel is no Kaiser Reinhard, despite the similar flowing locks. Seven episodes from the end and I still have no idea if he’s the bad guy or not. We’ve seen more of Charles this season than him,... | | |
| 4:47pm | New Lens, Upcoming Figure Bazaar and School Begins! | | | | Wow, due to my involvement in the new academic year’s freshmen orientation programme, I haven’t really had the time to watch anime, let alone update Riuva. My backlog is probably larger than Chouginga Gurren Lagann now. I hope to find a good, leisurely day where I can finish and catch up... | | |
| 6:45pm | Ramble: Macross Frontier - 18 | | | | Ozma lives, Grace is a man, and Brera still sucks. Needs more Cathy! Thank goodness for a real OP being used this time. I like Seikan Hikou a lot, but that cutey OP sequence was out of place. Roy Focker rolled over in his grave after seeing that one. No more OPs like that please. It’s Saito Ayumi... | | |
| 4:52pm | Otakonmn08: ADV | | | | Will ADV have anything new to say? Stay tuned to find out in my last Otakon panel! Matt Grenfield and John Ledford, ADV co-founders, preside.

| 12:50am | Otakon08: Bandai Surprise Panel | | | | Soooo I missed the q&a earlier, but I heard they’re saving news for this panel, so here I am! Looking frward to sitting front and center for this one. Wowthey’re giving away some serious stuff. But NO recordings (video, still shot, or audio) allowed. Luckily for y’all, text is... | | |
| 6:09pm | Ahhh….. hot springs….. | | | | This is only a semi-realistic representation of how the top of the mountain looked like. The major reason that I’ve delayed fixing my computer: a 3 day camping trip which ended with a trip to the local hot springs. It went pretty well, though I’m hurting all over due to a 6 hour hiking... | | |
| 4:15pm | Gurren Lagann Wallpaper | | | | Time for another wallpaper post, this time I made more Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann wallpaper. This is actually the second set of Gurren Lagann wallpaper’s I’ve made, the last being here. The vector trace of Gurren Lagann comes from one of my favorite pictures of the series. If the person... | | |

| 11:09pm | Living Legit - A Month Without Fansubs |  | | | A month ago, I wrote in my controversial essay that I was going to give up on downloading illegal fansubs. In a way, it really wasn’t that hard of a decision for me to make at the time. I had burnt myself out with covering the spring season on my Twitter account. What started off as a dozen new... | | |
| 5:24pm | Gurren Lagann Volume 2 | | | | Author asks “isn’t tomorrow the street date for v.2?”. Well, that’s today now, and indeed it is. That said, the online retailers were shipping it out around a week ago, thus explaining how my copy turned up here in good ol’ Blighty yesterday.I’ve only had the chance to... | | |
| 4:59pm | The Macross Frontier Tease Or More Aptly… LOLOLOLWTF? | | | | NOOOO!!!! SOMETHING HAPPENED!!!!DAMN YOU KAWAMORI! LOLOLOL!!! What a great way to crack us up by shoving the pineapple myth in our face. When I saw the frightened face of the mechanic tending to the cockpit of Ozma’s Valkyrie, it made me feel the approach of the inevitable especially with all... | | |

| 3:50pm | ‘Gurren Lagann 101′: Maybe Viral Can Teach Math | | | | I can’t believe this hasn’t been posted anywhere yet (except, I hear tell, 4chan): according to the official Gurren Lagann movie website, a new TTGL manga is in the works and is going to run in Comp Ace. It’s title? Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagan: Gurren Gakuen Edition. In other words,... | | |
| 9:42am | Revoltech’s sept release | | | | To tell you the truth, i don’t usually bother with looking at company’s future product releases but i happen to glance upon this and damn it, looks like i may have to save up 4000 to 6000 yen for this mission. They are releasing two characters that will tempt me to part with my money, Enki... | | |
