Anime Diet

The rumors have been flying over the English anime blogosphere about the possibility of a live-action Haruhi Suzumiya J-drama starting soon. (See here and here, where the rumor originated.) According to one commenter elsewhere, however, someone from the infamous 2chan actually called the production companies to confirm and they have neither confirmed nor denied it, [...]

So. I’ve been silenced for a few days – no, I didn’t get whacked by Noir, though I wouldn’t mind being whacked as long as I got autographs from them (it’d be even better if I got that from the the actual seiyuus), and no, I wasn’t send to an alternate universe, even though that [...]

So I’ve been looking at the listings of what’s coming out this upcoming (or, actually, just already started) season in anime. The winter has been rather disappointing, after the astonishingly good run from spring to fall of last year (or maybe it was just filled with shows that I happened to like a lot, like [...]

I couldn’t pass this video up and just to had to share it everyone. This is very well made and very funny for everyone who knows what this show is REALLY about: It’s got everything: the first names of the girls scrolled under their action shots. The over synthesized J-pop soundtrack with an impossibly squeeky [...]

More images available by this artist here. This is really impressive, though if anything these are the Charlie Brown characters as adolescents rather than preteen kids. And here’s the Scooby gang, shoujofied! This, I think, works really well: The artist’s site is here. He’s only 17!

Again, I don’t know if this is news to anyone, but Koei is going to release a game that combines Dynasty Warrior characters and Samurai Warrior characters, in the same game (oh rejoice, rejoice for the world of supreme hacking and slashing has come forth to cure us of our stressful world)! There will be [...]

First, I would like to thank noooneofconsequnece for correcting me that Ikkitousan: Dragon Destiny isn’t an OVA. Second, I think to come up with a list of characters that one would like to be with in real life may be too much work. So, for anyone who still wants to post comments on that (see [...]

A couple of weeks ago, I made a few comments on poor choices of English titles for anime. The official announcement of Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni by Geneon has come, and it’s been titled When They Cry in English. I think this is an example of a good compromise between the sense of the [...]

I don’t know if this is news to anyone, but according to Wikipedia, Bee Train’s coming out with what Kōichi Mashimo of Bee Train calls, the third installment of the “girls with guns trilogy”. The name of this show is going to be called El Cazador de la Bruja, and it will begin airing in [...]

I’ve been holding this in for a long, long time. No, I’m not talking about toilet related humor, but I’ve gotta say this: 80′s rocked! 90′s sucked majorly-sorry-mf#@%#$%$#%-asses and stinks to high heaven! (Oh just shut up and get over it.) Anyway, take a look at the title of this article, and you may ask, [...]

So I wake in the morning and I feel absolutely direction-less. Being from a hired translator with a steady but crappy salary to me is easier than to be a first time freelancer that has to put in so much friggin’ effort to find people who’s willing to hire me, but to spare everyone from [...]

(from Anime Galleries dot Net http://www.animegalleries.net/img/20947) A word of explanation for newcomers: we are planning to create downloadable Mystery Science Theater 3000-style commentaries on various mockable anime in the very near future, which you can play along on your iPod or computer. We have already recorded one track for Kyoshiro to Towa no Sora, but [...]
