| 7:43pm | Gambling Apocalypse Kaiji - 17 | | | | Well, the same complaints as usual. We’re one episode further, and exactly two and a half rounds have taken place. Considering how one round just consists of putting up to five cards on the table (in this case two or less), you can’t deny that Kaiji is slow. Still, unlike the beam-arc... | | |
| 5:42am | Track Two: KimiKaiji, School Days LxH, and old-school fandom | | | | Day before yesterday I saw a Not Boat, yesterday an sentimental fic, and today, youweirdmusic videothing. I keep trying to be a crazy anime fan. As a guy, I watch magical girl shows, as a realist, I watch ridiculous harems and visual novel adaptations, I fanboy over 2D things more than anything 3D,... | | |
| 12:53pm | [Video] Andou Sings Lucky Star Remix (lulz) | | | | Warning: not for viewers who have managed to clutch on to that last thread of dignity and respectability - contains gratuitous lameness. This man, whose facial features bear striking resemblance to vile Andou of the anime Kaiji, originally uploaded a video of himself dribbling out his own nauseating... | | |
| 5:51am | “Zawamanga Daioh” FTW | | | | It must be video day, ’cause I keep getting passed links to awesome videos. Now, I know there are only like, four of you out there who have actually watched Kaiji, so let me explain the name of this video: “zawa” is a noise that appears in the background of dramatic moments in the... | | |
| 4:02am | Playing Catch-Up: The Alternate Universe Winter Season | | | | (I’m just amazed I didn’t go straight to my Kanon folder for ‘winter pics’) There’s been some muttering about the winter season being a bit slower than the previous fall, or even summer, with most of the big-name blockbusters being either continuations from seasons past... | | |
| 4:53am | Saigar Update: Group A Round 2 |  | | | Hosaka of Minami-Ke (415) defeats Dio Brando (359) and Robert E.O. Speedwagon (30), both of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure. I’ve never seen Minami-Ke, so someone will have to inform me on just who the hell Hosaka is and what makes him GAR enough to defeat Dio. There must be a reason there somewhere.... | | |
| 11:42pm | SaiGAR 2008 - Group A, Round 2b |  | | | Emperor of Britannia (Code Geass) - 238Itou Kaiji (Kaiji) - 341 (44.1% of 773 votes)Itoshiki Nozomu (Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei) - 194After two bouts, the trend continues where the winner of Round 2 is the person with the highest votes in Round 1. Up next, the first of the Gurren-Lagann crew, who is statisically... | | |
| 12:30pm | Kuro’s Monthly Roundup: January 2008 |  | | | Starting up a new thing for the blog for the new year, I shall be doing monthly roundups of the shows I’m currently watching. Hopefully, I will be able to make this thing a permanent feature. Sometimes I just lose myself :P. Fall 2007 Shows BAMBOO BLADE (17) - Surprisingly, still going strong... | | |
| 7:57am | January Summary | | | | We’ve now passed one third of the Winter-season. I must say that it’s been one of the best winter-seasons we’ve had in years. There are so many potentially awesome series, and there have been hardly any disappointments so far. #31 (new) - H20 ~ Footprints in the Sand - (5/10) - I find it strange... | | |
| 2:37am | Saigar Update: Group H Round 1 |  | | | GARness increases by a factor of ten when paired with a loli. Claire Stanfield (306) beats Kurosaki Ichigo (170) and Gennosuke Fujiki (69). And so another shounen hero loses. At least this contest still has some integrity. Not a lot, but some. Lloyd Irving (195) beats Kira Yamato (194) and Thenardier... | | |
| 6:32am | Track Two: In Syndication | | | | Aside from Danbooru and other image boards, Owen is probably my next best source of imagesCrunched for time on posting today, and these Track Twos have been burning a hole in my hard drive (luckily, only figuratively) ever since Ikimashou went down, so I'll post up a couple of them here.For those unfamiliar... | | |
| 2:47pm | Gambling Apocalypse Kaiji - 16 | | | | I’m not sure what’s wrong with me, but this has been one of the most enjoyable episodes of Kaiji yet, even though it consisted mostly of people sitting and talking. It’s probably for the same reason why I still consider the first episode to be one of the best episodes of the series... | | |
| 7:49pm | Moé Rising: The line between cute and characterization | | | | Ikimashou, Mega Megane Moe's host, is going through some hard times, and until these get resolved, posting will continue here at Eternity.(I like Hisui, but the ol' line about "So moe I might die" comes to mind)Moe: is it in your anime, killing your enjoyment?Recently I've been in a bit of despair over... | | |
