I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. NHK is full of dysfunctional idiots who are so illusioned and living in their little world that they do not realise what is actually going on. Despite the slightly less appealing animation of this episode, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Hey, if i can stomach Tokko, I [...]

While both of these episodes are interesting to see, the standout is definitely episode 17 (Meakashi-hen 2). Of all the violent scenes I've seen in either film or television, this one is definitely one of the goriest one. When I was a kid, I got into an accident where my little finger got crushed by a door. Doctor had to stitch my wound because it won't stop bleeding on its own. Both the pain and the stitching part were not pleasant experiences to say the least. Thankfully my finger is still functional despite the accident. Seeing 'that scene', however, brought back the memory of unbelievable pain that I felt back then. Although I think in Shion's case it is far more painful. Anyway, for answer episodes, these two are still rather hard to decipher but at least there are a few mysteries from other arcs that are cleared up by these episodes.

To sum up: Otakon 13 = Awesome chaos. Due to laziness to my part and the avoidance of 100+ degrees heat, I decided to get my badge on Friday itself. The following day, at five o’clock in the morning, I joined the sport famous throughout anime conventions known as queuing. Thankfully, the people after [...]

The Anime Nano gang and I just finished our 4th podcast! This one went pretty smoothly, I thought, and it lasted really long. Like twice as long as our previous record! Hinano was absent, but Problematic reluctantly took her place. She did a good job, even if she says she didn’t. After having done 4 of [...]

Well, I'm back. Back to the blogging business and Otakon. It was quite a trip, and despite the fact that it did not completely sell out, *I THINK* it was WAY WAY more crowded than last year. You know why? Because they tried to implement order. They made organized lines that would look like something [...]

No, this is no April Fool's joke. I have decided to leave and try out a new project I've named Karoshi. Now, we can see this as two ways: 1)That I'm leaving for good or 2)I'm pulling a L'arc~en~ciel. What does that mean? Well, in 2001, the group decided to take a break from each other [...]

I love the cover. Totally. While I was asleep, the entire world was on the brink of getting its ass pwned by a Haruhi Meteorite. News of a second season of Haruhi spread like wildfire after Shingo of the brand new Heisei Democracy posted a picture of the September issue of Newtype with Haruhi gracing [...]

Ichijou in love! I was quite surprised at who her paramour was but then again this is PPD and it’s Ichijou we’re talking about. Becky’s the first to notice as Ichijou is behaving strangely. That is, even more strangely than she usually does. With input from the Intelligence Club, the girls’ busybody drive is kicked into [...]

Ah..ah haha…AHAHAHAHA! What a bunch of morons! Oh, man keep digging the hole deeper kids, yes that’s it aha! You silly little boys will vainly cling to even the thinest sliver of hope. God, I hope this second season is an elaborate hoax as well. Then, I will collect all of your whiny fanboy bitch-tears in [...]

Before this blog gets too heavy on figures, I thought I'd break up the string of figure rants with a random anime post. And what better to rave about than my utopian anime pipedream a topic I dwell often upon. Harem Almost a dirty word in many anime fans' vocabulary, the terms 'harem series' conjure images [...]

A marketing ploy on Newtype’s part? Prepare to receive a lot of hatemail! It may just be an advertisement for volume 2 of the DVD. Check back for more details as they come in.

First there was that whole licensing hoax, now we have the second season hoax. You’ve seen the picture before, but you didn’t read the comment about how Shingo bought the issue of Newtype and saw that there is no second season. Or at least not yet, anyway. The first DVD sold very [...]
