Halko Momoi, who we talked about in our con wrapup podcast regarding the notorious treatment she received at AX 2007, has posted a thank-you which seems to double as a retraction. She now thanks the staff for their hard work, and talks about how great the concert was. (See the ANN news item about this.) [...]

The new logo is just the beginning: there are some changes underway for both the website and the podcast. But before we embark on the new hotness, we’d like to know what you, loyal readers, think about where we’re at! Google Analytics says that almost 2000 of you show up every week and now it’s [...]

I may have been busy reading and grading homeworks last week, but I actually did watch some anime too. Here’s a roundup of everything I saw last week. Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei 3 The Lolcensor is…nowhere to be found? Maybe they’re not trying to satisfy Standards and Practices after all! The cornucopia of mentally ill girls [...]

Just another testosterone filled ringtone that’s a pleasure to wake up to in the morning! Turn it up loud and it’ll wake any sleepy head (we can only hope)! Instead of vocals with badly sang English – there are no vocals in this one. Black Lagoon Ringtone Play Now | Play in Popup | Download [...]

Being a fan of Hirano Aya, I naturally kicked myself when I read that she’s coming out with a photo journal book/magazine, and I didn’t get a chance to place a pre-order for it – since I didn’t know until the initially set release date was way past. I searched all over the net in [...]

At AX, the industry claimed that fansubbed shows have been killing DVD sales. One of the points (thanks to Chibi Tokyo and other podcasts for reporting) was the fansubbed copies of certain shows can still be seen on Youtube even after these shows were licensed. Next, some of the points we have discussed here at [...]

In pt.1 I mentioned about impossibly strong characters, and here I’ll talk about a couple rather minor things that I find not entirely satisfactory. 1. the impossibly strong, even god-like opponents. 2.the impossibility for me to compare/understand strengths and differences in strengths. I’ll actually go with number 2 first. Riful and Duff are strong – [...]

It wouldn’t be the first time I was blown away by this show, but this time, it shows even more merits to lift itself above regular shonen anime – save a couple very minor things. Clare has to be one of the most versatile “shonen” characters in the shonen genre. It’s not rare that the [...]

Here are some heated xchanges (of verbal blows, perhaps we can categorize them this way) among some folks at MAL, including me (I don’t know if any copyright issues are involved. So sue me) (it’s about a dub voice over, specifically Wendy Lee, who’s going to sing in English for “God knows” and “Lost my [...]

Earthquake Sets Japan Back To 2147 TOKYO —”Our society [is] temporarily reverting to a pre-cyberunification era,” said prime minister Shinzo Abe, speaking non-telekinetically for the first time. .onion_embed {background: rgb(256, 256, 256) !important;border: 4px solid rgb(65, 160, 65);border-width: 4px 0 1px 0;margin: 10px 30px !important;padding: 5px;overflow: hidden !important;zoom: 1;}.onion_embed img {border: 0 !important;}.onion_embed a {display: [...]

So far I have trouble determining if Nadi is a good gunfighter/bounty hunter, or if she’s just plain lucky. In the previous ep, we see that Nadi often misses the heat of the action – she sometimes trips and falls, gets knocked out by insignificant opponents like the gay partners (who?), gets tangled up in [...]

One day, Otaku A and Otaku B are watching hentai together. Otaku A: I lost my zombie, did you see it? Otaku B: What? What does it look like? Otaku A (points down) : Well, You know a zombie is permanently stiff, right? Otaku B: … Groan…….. Advice: a couple of beers down and it [...]
