You know that they had the “King of Japanese Otaku” and “King of Foreign Otaku Challenge”? Well, I have a “top 10 humiliating and impossible challenges for real Otaku (think Genshiken folks)”: 10. No watching of anime whatsoever for 1 month. 9. Running a 1 mile race under 3 minutes. 8. Eat healthy for 3 [...]

Her right arm, that is. That makes her kinda look like that Venus statue – OK, that’s weird. But anyway, this eps proves that the creator of the show and the writer of the manga (I was told the show pretty much follows the manga), aren’t afraid to make the main character looking real bad [...]

Well, the Con is upon us as of tomorrow! These are the events I plan to attend, most of them as an Anime Souffle Platoon Leader (ie, I will have a Souffle armband and there will be a gaggle of disciples club members who might be following me). I won’t be able to attend most [...]

Full details on the original thread here. OFFICIAL MEETING PLACE & TIME!! WHERE: Convention Hall Lobby by the Exhibit Halls (NOT the lobby by the Arena!) WHEN: Saturday [...]

(NOTE: this entry is full of spoilers…but really, what’s there to spoil?) Finally, some interesting things are starting to happen in this show. But, for the action fan in me, I’m still not quite satisfied, even after 13 eps of what is clearly established as a vastly different show then the previous installments of “girls [...]

…kids under 17 should not be reading our blog without a parent or guardian! This rating was determined based on the presence of the following words: death (6x) gun (5x) kill (4x) ass (3x) dead (2x) sex (1x) Anime Diet: proving once again that anime is all about violence, asses, and sex!

Maybe I’m simply ignorant about some cultural references, but if I’m not mistaken, this is perhaps the Hayate episode with the fewest number of overt references to other anime/manga yet.
