Yes, I know “geassical” isn’t a word. However, there’s just no way to describe it. After such a sweeping first season with suspense that never let up, I had high hopes for Geass season 2. Of course, the more rational side of me likes to think that the story will start to lose steam at some [...]

If you’re reading this post, chances are you probably were around back in the late-90s and early-2000s; however, some of you probably don’t remember anime before BitTorrent came into prominent use. Back in the day, the only two available sources of anime in the internet were IRC or the good, ol’ HTTP direct download. Not [...]

According to AnimeNewsNetwork, Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion will be airing on Adult Swim, the premier anime television block in the US. Needless to say, I’m quite happy about this.

It’s not news that Bandai announced they were licensing Code Geass. However, I didn’t think it’d hit me so soon!

It should be noted that I never really got into anime until mid-2005. These past two years have seen a giant turn in my lifestyle, where I progressed into the darkness of anime fandom. This is well represented by how my room looked like before and after I got into all of this. Click on [...]

Summer is quickly coming and Otakon 2007 is just around the corner. It felt like just yesterday I was roaming the cool, air-conditioned halls of the Baltimore Convention Center. But alas, another year has passed and it has come down to this. It’s a ritual for me to cosplay to every convention I go to. Half [...]
