| 3:33pm | Das “HENTAI” Prince and the Stony Cat #02 — Stick Snack | | | | The most delicious snack since Thin Fried Potato Slice. Impressions: Weaker than the first episode, mostly because a lot of it was just Youto shouting and one can only take Yuuki Kaiji’s voice blasting full tilt at them for so long before you begin contemplating the kinds of things that could... | | |
| 6:23pm | Attack on Titan #02 — Vs a Wall | | | | I can’t help but think this would be improved if he were a vampire too. Impressions: Time to poke the sacred cow apparent one last time. I’ll try to keep it brief. I expect a little more from a main character than kicking people in the shins and crying, which is just about all he did... | | |
| 10:11pm | Bookmarked: Eagle: The Making of an Asian-American President | | | | One of the hardest things I’ve ever done is gone back to a series I started a while ago. It means re-reading all the volumes that I did for previous reviews (because I know I forgot something or another!), and then taking in all the new information and storylines and plots. Things I imagined... | | |
| 10:05am | New Ghost in the Shell written by the Mardock Scramble guy | | | | A new Ghost in the Shell was announced recently. No Kenji Kamiyama on it this time though, he’s too busy making surprisingly awesome looking fully CG movies of Cyborg 009. Instead, Production IG have given it to Kazuchika Kise. Looking at his resume, he’s largely only done animation directing.... | | |
| 7:00pm | Hunter x Hunter 63 – Delicious Diamonds and Scrumptious Sapphires | | | | The best teachers are the craziest teachers, obviously. Hunter x Hunter is blazing through Greed Island at a ferocious pace so far, and it’s actually making me enjoy the arc this time around! (Or, perhaps, my expectations are more reasonable. Maybe it is a bit of both!) We’re already through... | | |
| 3:31am | For Sale: Grab Bags | | | | As mentioned in the prior sales post, here are the grab bags! More like, bag o crap, except they’re in boxes. They are $20 + shipping each. Here are some sample items that you might find in any one of them. In the average box I’m aiming to have at least 6 from this list, plus more items.A... | | |

| 3:39pm | Shinmaru’s Top 30 Anime | | | | The more anime you watch, the tougher it is to make a top 30 list. I have found this out the hard way. I could do this in my sleep before; now, I wonder how could have ever compared some of these anime to each other. The exercise seems utterly insane now. And, yet, here I am doing it. Perhaps I am... | | |
| 6:19am | Cultural References and Insufficient Power Level | | | | Based on the general consensus I watched Joshiraku for the first time expecting it to be completely cryptic like alien written in ancient tablets, too difficult and obscure to remotely understand it. Based on the general consensus Joshiraku would be incomprehensible, very much Japanese-only, providing... | | |

| 7:48pm | Not the X-Games: Anime Expo 2012 | | | | Anime Expo 2012 was my first Anime Expo and my first west coast convention. While I’m not one of those really thorough con veterans, I still found some interesting differences between it and the conventions I’ve been to before, both when compared to the bigger cons as well as the smaller... | | |
| 8:22pm | Anime Expo 2012: Day 4 And Wrap | | | | Welp, I’m home. And it’s like, TL;DR let’s-just-hit-mark-all- as-read. I actually had internet for some parts of my stay at the JW Marriott, so I wrote stuff for those days. Most of the online work I had to do was done via the phone, and it’s really hard to TL;DR on the phone.... | | |
| 3:02am | Panels at AnimeNEXT 2012 | | | | Keeping score at Insane Manga 18+ panel For me, no matter what sort of conventions that I have been able to attend, I always make time to attend panels. Because for me attending panels often is a matter of wanting to learn topics, and or see what was discussed. Call it the student in me. I often leave... | | |
