So I’ve been spending increasing amounts of my day watching anime. The first one of these was Gunbuster, but I only watched 2 episodes before I had to switch to something else. So I took it upon myself to watch all of Shakugan no Shana in a day. Shana was another one of Rie Kugimiya’s [...]

DAMN
Posted in Boring stuff, tagged Geneon on September 26, 2007 | 7 Comments »
So here’s my current list of shows I had planned on buying:
Mushishi (Funimation): The second DVD has shipped, and I await the rest of the series anxiously.
Welcome to the NHK (ADV): Just got DVD 1
PaniPoni Dash (ADV): Hopefully there will be a thinpack release
Code Geass (Bandai)
Kamichu! (Geneon): So damn cute. A necessary purchase
Haibane Renmei (Geneon): [...]
Kokoro Toshokan and Kamichu
Posted in Anime, tagged Kamichu on September 24, 2007 | 5 Comments »
So I really misread the plot synopsis for Kokoro Toshokan. Spoilers to follow.
I guess I was only paying attention to the last part of the synopsis. I was under the impression that it was a show about a young girl at a library who heard it was going to close, and then decided to travel [...]
AWA: I came, I saw, I bought shit I can never show my parents
Posted in Personal on September 23, 2007 | 4 Comments »
So AWA was this weekend. I dropped by from around 10:30 to 6 on Saturday. Seeing as this was my first con, I did not bother to cosplay. In fact I probably never will, as it’s not really something I have any interest in. I had a good time, despite the fact that literally 90% [...]
Donations for Reimu

A newish game from Locker Room Productions, makers of all those awesome flashes (Overdrive, Marisa Stole the Precious thing), is Donations for Reimu (Reimu no Saisenbako). Basically you have to click the box as many times as you can in 30 seconds to donate 10 yen coins, and her reaction depends on how many times [...]

Complete: Samurai Champloo, Memories, and Millennium Actress
Posted in Anime, tagged Millennium Actress, Samurai Champloo, Zero no Tsukaima on September 20, 2007 | 3 Comments »
So I’m done with Samurai Champloo. For those of you don’t know, though I’m sure you do, it was a 2004 anime directed by Watanabe of Cowboy Bebop fame. To sum the show up, it was basically a Japanese show with a touch of black in the same way that a show like say, Afro [...]
Sayonara, Lucky Star. See you again in Season Two :3

C’mon KyoAni :3
This show was way better than Haruhi (don’t kill me) and far more deserving of a second season. At least give us some sort of Special, anything will do really.
The series had a wonderfully satisfying finish. The OP dance was a beautiful thing, incorporating and improving on the original. I was quite pleased [...]
Colorful
Posted in Anime, tagged Colorful, Ebichu on September 17, 2007 | 2 Comments »
Ok, so to deviate from my judgmental “fatophobia” as someone put it, I watched a show that instead focused on the female body and the wonders of the panty shot. As with Oruchuban Ebichu, the fanservice in this show seemed to be purely intended as comical. At least it was for me, and I certainly [...]
Paprika
Posted in Anime, Boring stuff on September 16, 2007 | 7 Comments »
So I was really excited about this film. I’d seen Tokyo Godfathers and was planning on watching more of Kon’s works, starting with Paprika. What I’d been led to believe by the beautiful opening scene with the awesome music was that this was going to be a film about a cute red head hopping through [...]
