05/16/2008 02:18 PM EDTMore Clues on FUNi Title; My Guess Is Right. HAH! >>
No, seriously, the newest clue from FUNimation on their Monday announcement (…I think. The e-mail was titled “Saturday Announcement Clue #3,” so maybe they’re just going to tell us everything Saturday? I dunno):
A man and a woman, doomed destiny
Is love the savior, the perfect key?
The answer awaits you, wait one night
To ye old fan, an [...]

Kurenai 4 Koma No.4Terrible
I wanted to do an Pop Idol parody with a face-palm Steve Cowell face-palm but despite the habit he has of doing it in real life, I couldn’t find one from the Simpsons.
This was the best image I could find, featuring Simon with an expression of utter disdain.
Thanks to [...]

Now that we’ve entered the second half of this series, the main storyline pops up again. It’s pretty early this time, in comparison to most other series in the same situation. Five episodes will be plenty of time to get a good climax out of this series, and I wonder what kind of tricks the [...]

Rating: 7.8/10
Impressions:
Again, another nicely paced, well animated action episode. However, this series is seriously lacking some substance now. However, the semi-cliffhanger ending certain does a good job of eliminating that problem. I still haven’t seen the following few episodes, but I’ll be sure to get to them soon. One surprise for me was seeing the [...]

Here’s a really cute photo of a kitty with geass, its so cute that it made my day.
So what do you think it would use its geass for? To command you to give it tons of catnip and tunas?
Maybe it will use it to take over Hello Kitty World. =P

Ok, don’t get me wrong. I like eroge but only certain kinds. Usually ones that are more on the tame side that are also more romantic than for *fap fap fap* tiem.
Anyway, that isn’t really what I wanna talk about. I’m no connoisseur when it comes to all the better eroge out there because [...]

Where’s the passionate singing while an intense major battle’s going on?
After 7 long episodes, it finally happened.
There may have been some battle scenes for the past 6 episodes, but I never once regarded them as real battles. Those can merely be considered as training practices. The real deal is inclusive of Sheryl’s epic vocals, Alto’s [...]

Saburo played by Kusanagi Tsuyoshi (Sasaki Fusai no Jingi Naki Tatakai, SMAP) rushed to the ferry that he thought was taking Riko played by Tanaka Rena (Drug Store Girl, Gegege no Kitaro) away, but it was only a sightseeing boat that was returning to the same pier. Minami played by Matsushita Nao (Top Caster, Good Job) and Shosuke (Deru Toko Demasho!, Mop Girl) both witnessed Riko in Saburo’s arms when the exhausted author had fallen asleep. After the recap the episode begins with Saburo finishing up a class he’s teaching when he’s confronted by Shosuke who wants to know why he was hugging Riko, Saburo explains that it’s just a misunderstanding. Shosuke isn’t really convinced and tells Saburo that Minami had also witnessed the encounter and she was crying because of it. Riko’s in front of Saburo’s apartment when Saburo tells her that she has again caused problems with Minami and wants to know why she was in his room. She explains that her water pressure isn’t as good as his shower, and then adds you shouldn’t be angry about “that”. He wants to know why he should be angry, she’s managed to separate a pipe in the shower flooding his apartment. Riko encourages him to finish fixing the link so they can have a strategy meeting for locating her old boyfriend Nonomura Shunsuke.I loved the shower scene where Riko’s standing there with an umbrella telling him to hurry up so he can help her find her boyfriend, but for me the best was with the idol body pillow that his co-workers think he’s packed for their overnight trip, now they all give him strange looks and think he’s a pervert. Lot’s of plot information is revealed in this episode as well making for another fun episode in my favorite drama this season.Download the RAW first two episode video bit torrent files here, the soft subs are here. Screen shots of the previous episodes are here.

Recently, I was at a party where I was able to meet new people who were unfamiliar with the anime and manga fandom. We got to talking about anime and that led to manga and anime in America. While many people were fairly uninformed about anime, most were familiar with manga, and shared their experiences [...]
