Anime Diet

Carved at an office pumpkin carving competition, October 30, 2009. It was my very first time carving a pumpkin, too! I’ll be occupied for a bit, so it may be a bit quiet for a while–but we are planning to go to Pacific Media Expo next week, so stay tuned for yet more convention coverage! [...]

I waited awhile to review this because I was curious as to how the blogsphere would take to it. I tried it the first day it came out and it tasted exactly how I thought it would, which I will explain in a bit.

From Utada Net.com // News – New Single “Dirty Desire” and New Tour in Early 2010 Ray’s Take: Any real fans out there? I’ve listened to maybe one of her albums in the past but to me, J-pop singers all sound pretty much similar to one another. They have similar voice range even. Of course [...]

Hi all. Seeing this title, if you actually read this far, I congratulate you. After all, why bother reading someone’s effort pouring out his heart? At the same time, I’m elated to see all the interaction we have on the site – praises and criticisms, loves and hates, positives and negatives. All that means we [...]

‘Twas a dark and stormy night.  The room felt vaguely humid as I sat upon my chair pondering and clawing at my hair, trying hopelessly to find a speckle of inspiration to fill the void of white paper trussed into my typewriter.  The clock on the wall chimed three times shattering the stagnant silence that [...]

I love CLAMP. In fact, when I started to write this I did tons of research. I started pouring all sorts of theories and trying to bring it all together on how Kobato. makes perfect sense for CLAMP and today’s market. It started to grow out of control, turning into a thesis of sorts with [...]

You are a self-doubting, introverted, and scary-looking high school student. Deep down you are a kind and considerate person, but because you are awkward, people think you’re strange and naturally avoid you. You long to be liked by others–anyone, really, though the most popular and attractive member of the opposite sex would be nice. But [...]

It comes as no surprise to any Otaku that anime has found itself a nice cozy spot in the internet sunbeam, to stretch out, expand and stream.  When sites like Crunchyroll started streaming subtitled anime for people, it was only a matter of time before the TV networks sidled up and pushed their way into [...]

Just about everything is turning out quite different from the manga. It’s a pleasant surprise though, because it’s a different type of fun. We’re not abruptly introduced to Mikoto’s arch enemy/love interest Toma,  instead, a little bit of intrigue is thrown in and we start to wonder a little about the so-called Academy City Urban [...]

It is with much regret that I must report that Queen’s Blade s2′s T&A count is way down compared with last season. It is also with much regret that I must report that when plots are going, tits aren’t showing. Or at least very little of them shows. …So what? I’m actually enjoying the show [...]

Steam? Don’t make me laugh. See the graph/illustration below from gigazine.jp – Japan: 9650. Don’t you get it? Then go see Gundam V. If Japan wanted, they could make some – maybe not a lot, but some. Hell, I want them to power the RX-78 “Dummy” with it! Didn’t you  know? In about a few [...]

Growing up in the latter half of the 70s horror movie boom which included such high profile works such as The Exorcist, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Dawn Of The Dead, Halloween, and others, my childhood was well-versed in the art of nightmare weaving before the onset of slashers reduced the format into scant numbers, and [...]
