Anime Diet

In this, day 2, I spend lots of time in line–sometimes for nothing, get a signing from Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg, and Jessica Hynes, and interview a lot more people than usual lately. Enjoy!

This fun little video has Kikuko-sama and Iwao Junko singing in a holiday festivity mood and it felt wonderful just to hear. Enjoy!

Well, tiredness, bad Internet connections in San Diego, and life got a little in the way–but here’s the Day 1 video diary for this year’s Comic Con! Days 2 and 3 should be ready tomorrow. This episode is notable for having some big names in the video, namely Stan Lee and Samuel L. Jackson for [...]

This is late cuz I was at comic-con and zonked out.   Lelouch has some real issues.

From ANB – (From the Diet 3 Daily is more like it!) Japan appoints Moe/Denpa/Otaku ambassador to the world.

Wow, Mosaic (OP of KyouranKazokuNikki)… Wow, OP of Kamen no Maid Guy… Wow, ED of Penguin Musume… Wow, OP of Lucky Star!!! I must confess, I simply love these “songs” that don’t make any sense AT ALL… Having cute Japanese women singing in cute voices and saying things that don’t make any sense at all [...]

From ANN – Lucy Liu, Mark Hamill Join Afro Samurai: Resurrection (Updated) … Lucy Liu (Charlie’s Angels, Kill Bill) and Mark Hamill (Star Wars) have joined the cast of Afro Samurai: Resurrection… Ray’s take: The reason it’s not news and the title for this commentary is not even remotely funny is because I haven’t found [...]

No video or photos were allowed. I guess this is the way Japanese guests are usually handled–it’s like AX. Starting in about 5 minutes. 1:15 PM – Kubo has entered the stage in sunglasses. Looks like a pop star or something. 1:16 PM – Kubo presented with an award from Comic Con Int’l. From the [...]

Here are some pics from the Matt Groening panels. I only had my iPhone camera, as Matt the cameraman is with Jeremy waiting for the Kubo panel early. I left the Simpsons panel, which had no voice actors, early to join Matt and Jeremy who are already inside.

I will be going to the afternoon signing at 3:30-4:30 PM. 3:10 PM – Slam Dunk related events. Apparently Greg Oden, NBA star, will be helping promote it. 3:12 PM – Info about the [...]

“Even if everyone in the world becomes my enemy, I’ll be by your side.” As a self-appointed “Otaku” westerner, it’s so very easy to think that this is something fascinating and interesting hobby that people can try to accept (I guess unless you’re in high school – but chances are the bullies like DBZ as [...]

I remember she was much less of an obstruction. But now she’s definitely getting on my nerves. Justice? Fuck that. Understanding? Fuck that. Protecting the forest (thus being an environmentalist) FUCK THAT. In addition to an annoying magical animal that’s not in a bishojo anime (if it were a bishojo anime I can understand having [...]
