I tried watching the raws for Bartender, though after only seconds I knew that I’d be better off with the subs. Seriously, that narrator had one strange voice. It sounded like a butler who likes to speak as polite and soft as possible with way too much enthusiasm. I’m hoping for subs to arrive soon, [...]

I’m not sure if the masses will enjoy a show like this, but I can say for sure that this is going to be one of my favourites this season. The plot of this story strikes a personal chord with me, and I just find it interesting to see what these guys do to capture [...]

Ghost Hunt: Can you catch em’ all! Gonna catch em all all ~ *sorry, really really bad Pokemon parody there* Hmm, yet another show that I have been rather interested to watch for quite a while. It seems that it is pretty funny, and yet another possible hit from J.C staff again. They are really making me [...]

The OP and ED are just instrumental, but they’re pleasantly off-beat and have a Wailing Woman in. Wailing Women are the hallmark of ANY good TV/film score (witness: Lord of the Rings, most Yoko Kanno stuff). Mai Taniyama is not as enamoured with the mysterious “sempai”, Kazuya Shibuya, that turns up at her school enquiring [...]

For the most part, Japanese horror stuff makes me laugh. For example, I thought Ayakashi and Jigoku Shoujo were really funny. Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni wasn’t really that scary either. Ghost Hunt doesn’t really seem like a typical horror anime, though. I think it’s more Ghostbusters than Friday the 13th. Taniyama Mai is your average [...]

I commented over in pajcat's blog that I wouldn't mind a Ghost Hunt anime, but since the anime site's already put up, I guess my saying "aye" or "nay"/making my preference known is entirely pointless, doncha think? ^^ Well, we'll just call it reiteration. Anyhoo, while I agree that Mai and Naru look waaay prettier than in the manga (which is a good thing, though my saying so totally shows how uber-shallow I am) ^^ I still.Want.My.QEDanime!It's all Touma-kun's fault for falling asleep on the job and not schmoozing enough with TPTB in the anime industry... ^^ (If you're a fan of this title, please, please leave me a comment? I don't know anyone else who reads this AWESOME series, much less wub and huggle eet as much as I do.)Also because of another heads-up from cathy, I found out that there's gonna be a dorama of The Wallflower.KYAAA! Kyohei!!!Breathe, Nik, breathe...(At first I had to stop and think, what flower? Then I realised that The Wallflower = Perfect Girl Evolution (the title in Indonesia) = Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge (Yamanade) = My Fair Lady (the Chuang Yi English manga title). Also found out from Animeph that there's gonna be a Wallflower anime. Double KYAAA! KYAAA! And while I am looking forward to the Yamanade anime and live action adaptation—I wub Sunako to bits—must see the Hana-Kimi dorama first (I got my priorities straight ^^ Anyhoo, I think the producers did a good job (looks-wise) of casting Nakatsu, Mizuki, and Sano—you'll know what I mean if you followed the link to the dorama)~nik who did the blog by email thing and came back for tweaking (n times)PS If I read it right, the Ghost Hunt anime premieres this 3rd October at 1AM on Terebi Tokyo? Followed by the premiere of Yamanade?

If there's one thing I love it's a good flashlight sex toy… I mean flashlight ghost hunting party. I mean, I could see how a flashlight sex toy could be beneficial during a ghost hunt (a sexy ghost hunt) but that's not what I was talking about. Look, let's just forget about all that and [...]

The manga reviewers at AOD haven’t been too kind to this poor unknown Del Rey title. I bought four volumes of it off eBay, just to see if the story & art are to my liking. The first volume was a bit of a challenge to get through, but once I was at [...]
