Face Off: Ray and Mike Battle Over ‘Mouryou no Hako’

Face Off: Ray and Mike Battle Over ‘Mouryou no Hako’

Ray: [Mouryou no Hako is] too slow paced and by the 10 minute mark I got bored. No, it’s not yaoi, I get that, but I honestly don’t see it as a great show. It’s just dressed up with surealism and bizzaro-ness.

Kurozuka 8 – a breather, Ninja Scroll in the future and please don’t talk about shit.

I totally forgot that last episode the crew was facing the Old Turtle Dude and the overtly wacky long hair woman. I’m obviously missing a lot of references here, as Kuro is sucked into the illusion, and the Turtle dude makes him take out some human waste in the delusion (yeeeewww). Also, Kuro works with [...]

First Look Fair: Eternal Sonata

First Look Fair: Eternal Sonata

My, my…my first real article in a month, and it’s a game review of all things. This isn’t just any game, though–it’s a very anime-ish game, featuring Hirano Aya no less as the main girl, and it offers a blend of story, music, and sensible gameplay that has me enthralled like I haven’t been since [...]

Chaos; Head 7 – no wonder more and more people are becoming Otaku

Ah ha! So there ARE more things than hentai doujinshi and figures in these backpacks after all! I was right! XD

Kurozuka 6,7 – it’s sad what power can drive people to do / Women are lethal and confusing

Kurozuka 6,7 – it’s sad what power can drive people to do / Women are lethal and confusing

Never underestimate how power can corrupt a person, but of course, who doesn’t want to tame it? Here’s the issue though, I though Kuromitsu’s blood is what gives people power in this show, but apparently some post-apocalypse thing is in effect because the people at the village of Kagu (Kagura) is instilled with power because [...]

Chaos; (gives) Head (trip) 06 – finally I’m confused

I honestly don’t know if that’s a good thing, but finally the real head trips begins. Crazy people being manipulated by a machine in an Otaku’s backpack? People marching with signs, shouting “get rid of the demon”? Not quite brown noise (thank goodness no bowl movements is shown) that knocked everyone down on their feet? [...]

Face Off: Ray and Mike Heap Praise on Kurozuka

Face Off: Ray and Mike Heap Praise on Kurozuka

Ray: I can’t seem to remember a Madhouse production that I didn’t like. And Kurozuka is the surprise hit of the season for me. It’s simply…too…awesome! Mike: I have to say, we really need more “mature” stories like this one. There is a wonderful soundtrack, fluid battle animation, and one of those epic concepts that [...]

It figures…

It figures…

…that my roommate, Mike, would, as an artist, be looking for inspiration in the form of these…models. :) Models made of high quality molded plastic. I haven’t heard them talking back yet, a la Chaos;Head. All these were bought in the last two months. BTW, go check out his Deviant Art page and give it [...]
