Since the winter season is almost here, I think it’s about time for me to get off my lazy ass and start looking at what’s coming out. This is more of a list to help remind myself, since I don’t even know the stories of half of the show’s coming out, and am relying on [...]

Today's episode was supposedly a recap special, but it ended up being more special than recap and was hosted by Hirano Aya (who voices Misa and wears black in above images) and Kudou Haruka (who voices Sayu and wears white in above images).

Well, fast approaches the end of yet another year of diligent, ceaseless participation in the anime fandom, and what better way to spend the eve of an era than to look back and reflect on what it was that made it the era it was. After the disappointingly bland offerings of 2005, 2006 has a [...]

Click to enlarge May not look like much, but this is the replacement for those lengthy episode summary posts. That’s not to say I’ll stop doing episode summaries and analysis completely, but they will be scarce and random. Instead I’ve decided to employ a ranking system, it’s pretty self explanatory, series in the right column, [...]

I’m a huge fan of anime style art and fan-art. When I say huge, I mean I go on DeviantArt late at night and browse the literally, thousands upon thousands of pics for GOOD art. I use some of the best pics I find on my desk top and as wallpaper for [...]

What happens when you are on a line where good and evil, fair and unfair, are no longer important at all? Anyone feel Kant’s theory here? Seiran is turning slowly to a rather dark character, with this episode showing yet a different side of him. I cannot blame him considering how he was brought up. The [...]

Choco gives Kakeru and Yurika invitations to a Christmas party. Kakeru accepts almost immediately, to the annoyance of Yurika. She denies the invitation. She can’t go, because she’s going out to dinner with her father on Christmas Eve. Although Yurika is excited about this, she still regrets not getting to go to the party [...]

If you're a Kodansha fan, and I am… sometimes… and you're a goth horror manga fan, which I'm not, then you will be stoked to hear that an anime for Kaibutsu Ojou is in the works. There's nothing else on this one as of yet as it was announced via the posting of a freaking [...]

There are no corpulent Santas in Japan. In other news, I have come to the conclusion that Banana Mizuki and Tanaka Rie cheat on their seiyuu blogs in that they have other people photographing them....

I’m going to stop blogging Code Geass - Lelouch of the Rebellion (as if I haven’t already) for a month or two because I’ve noticed that it was originally animated in widescreen, or a 5:3 dimension of some sort. I’d like to blog a series in its original, full glory. See comparison screenshots below: (The top [...]

Yeah, once again I'm dropping shows. Within few months or so there have been increasing boredom in anime and I'm not really sure where it ends. Everything just feel so boring that recently I also stopped watching older anime, it's already enough to keep currently airing ones interesting which doesn't go that well either.

The first time I hear Lavi's voice in this episode I thought it sounds familiar but I couldn't figure out who the VA could possibly be. After checking out the wiki, I realise that his VA is none other than Kenichi Suzumura, AKA Hiitachin Hikaru in Ouran High School Host Club and Shirou Kamui in X TV series. Anyway, this is a rather entertaining episode although the ending always makes me angry for some reason. And am I the only one who thinks that a particular gate towards the end reminds me of Kingdom Hearts™? Maybe it's because I think that there's something inherently evil about Mickey and his merry friends. :P It would have been cool to see Allen blasting every single one of them.

I don't remember seeing anything from Toy International recently, if ever, but this entry is sure to turn the heads of some Demonbane and/or pretty girl fans. The figures have some issues, but overall this pair PVC of Al and Leica doesn't look too bad, especially coming from a small, relatively unheard of (to me [...]

If Han and rats don't think HappyRiuva is funny, then I hate them both. How about that? And, yes, do answer your question, it's a slow ass news day. Slow as in… the length of an eight hour day when you are done with all your work but you can't leave. A little girl in [...]

I was reading Darkshaunz’s truly epic post about Evangelion today, and it really brought back some great memories. In my starting days as a fan of anime, Evangelion just absolutely blew my mind, and I eagerly bought into all the obscure references and symbolism. I’ve since become a much calmer anime fan, but [...]

Maria from the Witchblade anime is a strange girl. She has tri-tone hair, wears a corset, thigh high boots, a swimsuit bottom, and carries around her own pedestal for when she feels like sitting down. Then there’s the sly sarcastic grin, the icing to let you know that she’s no normal cupcake. happysoda [...]

I present the Yonkie bar! The above is a screencap from the forth episode of Noein, where we see one of the characters wielding a mighty chocotastic snack. The snack in question, however, is a bit of a surprise. Oi! Nanoha – IT’S NOT FOR GIRLS! You see, the Yonkie bar is obviously based upon the Yorkie. Originally [...]

Rejoice Singaporeans, today has the highest rainfall per mm in 75 years. HOORAY! Now we can feel cold, humid and uncomfortable in the day, and sneeze when we kick our blankets away in the middle of the night. Moving on, this episode is once again very Tetsu oriented, although they did throw in various other characters [...]
