You know you watch too much anime when…(part 3)

You know you watch too much anime when…(part 3)

  …when you are as crazy as these Argentine otakus. (This video is in Spanish and Japanese, but it’s subtitled in English, don’t worry.)These guys have the shounen cliches down. Cold. And this has the best ending credits sequence and song…since at least Otaku no Video, if not funnier. If they ever make a Spanish [...]

Maybe we should do this to Studio Gainax…

Maybe we should do this to Studio Gainax…

…and other anime companies that give us unresolved endings! If Jericho fans can do it, surely so can anime fans. Or we should send something else instead of nuts. Welcome to the NutsOnline NUTS for Jericho home page, where fans from all over the world are pooling their resources to send thousands of pounds of [...]

You know you watch too much anime when…(part 2) Ringtone from NHK, purupurupururin!

You know you watch too much anime when…(part 2) Ringtone from NHK, purupurupururin!

…after finally learning how to hack your Verizon Motorola RAZR V3m to load your own ringtones, this was the ringtone you chose. And it was the first thing that came to mind. It even sounds better than the version that showed up in the show! (Edit from Ray: Purupurupururin!) Pururururin Ringtone Play Now | Play [...]

Hayate no Gotoku 8 – moe parodies are t3h funny

Hayate no Gotoku 8 – moe parodies are t3h funny

I remember chortling, heavily, when I first saw the preview for this episode–especially when the title was  announced: “Neko Mimi Mode Sends You to Hell!” That, of course, raised some pretty high expectations for the level of t3h funny in this episode and I’m happy to say that it delivers (for the most part). This [...]

Mai-Hime Initial Thoughts: Turning Straw into Gold?

Mai-Hime Initial Thoughts: Turning Straw into Gold?

I’ve been away for a while due the impending end of the school quarter, so here’s my first substantial post in a while…and it’s on an older anime, natch. I’m actually watching it on DVD via Netflix, which is not my usual source for anime these days, if you know what I mean. :) This [...]

The Spring Review, part II

The Spring Review, part II

Lucky Star – Hirano Aya pick up! I’ll never understand why some of our loyal readers don’t think she’s cute or any good at voice acting, but oh well. I think she does an excellent job here – I mean, I think she carries the whole show almost by herself. But hey, Luck Star isn’t [...]

Instead of flaming cross-like explosions, this will be the new explosions used in the Upcoming Eva movies

Instead of flaming cross-like explosions, this will be the new explosions used in the Upcoming Eva movies

Remember when the first angel attacked, all the explosions became flaming crosses that stood tall? Well, what if Anno is really out of his mind (oh gee) this time? Given the opinions of an ex-Gainax producer and his smart assistant for some 2ch fans, I think this is somehow appropriate: Credit to whoever made this [...]

Easy-to-Watch Shows

Easy-to-Watch Shows

This season, I’ve called Nagasarete Airantou a “guilty pleasure” type of show, a series where I’m perfectly aware of how cliched pretty much every element is and yet I find myself enjoying a lot. I felt the same way about Zero no Tsukaima, too. But I think there’s another element to why I find myself [...]

The Big O…what a title, eh?

The Big O…what a title, eh?

Now, what’s with the title: “The Big O” anyways? Why why why why? Not to use a stupid post to steal the thunder of the podcast post, but I just feel like listing a few links about “The Big O”. www.bigobc.com www.amazon.com/Big-O-Orgasms-Have-Coming/dp/0767907485 www.ivillage.co.uk/relationships/sex/archive/0 magazines.ivillage.com/cosmopolitan/archive/0 www.imdb.com/title/tt0280240 www.thebigo.com/main.html www.big-o-productions.com www.bigoboats.com This was the first page in google [...]

The Spring Review – it’s early but it feels like summer here in Taiwan.

The Spring Review – it’s early but it feels like summer here in Taiwan.

This country has already hit 80+ degrees in May. Spring isn’t quite over yet and the shows I’m watching have only reach eps 6, but I feel like reviewing anyway. So here goes: Claymore – the plot picked up after eps 5, before that it dragged a little bit. I got the chance to read [...]
