The worst part of this episode was at the very end, when Ako and Riko announced that there will be another OAD episode next June. I was so pumped in getting rid of this thing off of my “Currently Watching” list, but it looks like all of that anticipation turned out to be in [...]

A recently hobby that I’ve acquired is the tiering and ranking of arbitrary subjects in terms of how good or bad they are. I used to do this in terms of favorite anime or characters but now it has totally spiraled out of control. I’ve made lists for best soundtracks, best couples, best [...]

I discovered this series of videos though Sankaku Complex over the summer. They are basically compilation videos of every OP and ED of the latest anime season. The songs are altered so that they flow into each other, and when a song does change, the background image of the video changes to a [...]

I was sitting in East Asian Literature class today (What class I was in is kinda irrelevant… actually, it’s kinda ironic) and randomly got a nosebleed.  Thankfully it was a relatively large class and I just stealthily slid out of my seat and took care of the problem.

Jumping out of a exploding helicopter has been a popular pastime lately. I finally managed to watch the first episode of CANAAN. Plotwise… well I have no opinions of that, since it confused the hell out of me. I might as well have watched the RAW because there was just too much information thrown [...]

I’ve had bad experiences with accidentally skipping an episode or chapter in a show or manga. The worst incident happened when I was reading the Genshiken manga. I was happily reading through the story. The members of Genshiken were on their summer trip to Kuruizawa and the Sasahara and Ogiue crisis was [...]

Fansubbers are gods among men. Their work is strenuous, frowned upon from a majority of the anime industry and motivated by nothing more than the adulation and gratitude received from their fans. And yet, they still manage to release punctual, accurate (for the most part), and professional translations week after week after week. [...]
