STAKE UP!!!!!
If you managed to pass beyond the somewhat hilariously awesome picture spam, congratulations to you!
I learned a lesson through a really painful process, all thanks to Akane Iro Ni Somaru Saka. Akasaka is a show that will compel one to keep watching it even if it considered as “bad.” That was pertaining to my [...]

If you guessed by the title, I'm currently dating a very nice girl. How we met was interesting, she attended the blogging panel I hosted at Metrocon. Every single time our eyes would meet, I would lose my train of thought. After my panel was over, I gathered some courage and asked her if she wanted to hang out with me for the rest of the day, she said yes. We talked and had a good time. When the day ended, we exchanged cell numbers and emails. We did some more talking and we confessed to each other. I personally think it's better to date someone who is into the same hobby as you because they already understand were you're coming from. I have dated women who are not anime fans and let me tell you, it's a pain. I pretty much tell them to piss off because if you can't understand my hobby, then they won't understand me. I have actually have not been watching that much anime since I have been her dating this girl. It seems I'm losing my otaku roots, lol.By the way, my girlfriend is going to start writing posts here once a week. So, how is the dating scene for you?

07/02/2009 11:59 PM EDTMinami-ke: Betsubara (another stomach) OAV review; Eat Drink Man Woman, Fujioka & Kana? >>
This OAV episode begins with Hayami watching Hosaka doing some planning on how he’ll cook some food for Haruka, and she decides to interject herself into the situation. She tells Hosaka that Haruka’s cooking is about love and his is about ego, so he can’t make her happy. He tells her she’s wrong and that his [...]

Fansubbers are gods among men. Their work is strenuous, frowned upon from a majority of the anime industry and motivated by nothing more than the adulation and gratitude received from their fans. And yet, they still manage to release punctual, accurate (for the most part), and professional translations week after week after week. [...]

Okay, I won’t go around beating the bush here, but here’s what people says about the korean MMO industry.
It’s just full of rip-offs here and there.
I can’t deny the fact that many MMO games from Korea are actually rip-off (or somewhat like that) of some of the original games out there, since I’ve played countless [...]

07/02/2009 11:21 PM EDTJ-list.com’s Youtube Review on a Japanese drink.. and a slight rant on my part.. >>
Okay.. just looking Jlist.com and their long line of food products, only avaliable in Japan, makes me feel deppressed.
I am starting this mantra in my head,”America you suck!” Food products only available in the U.S. sucks. Why is it that you can never get the variety of flavors and packaging like Japan?!
Why is there this [...]

Wow I can’t believe they didn’t finish it. What a waste of an episode. If they were gonna do this why not just use their same animations? I mean, if they’re gonna be lazy why not be kicchiri 100% lazy. seriously… might as well make this a waste of a post.

Since this episode was basically the exact same as last episode, I'm not even going to bother with a summary this week. All of the changes were relatively minor (their clothes, Yuki wearing the mask this time, Haruhi not needing to be prompted about cicadas, and so on), though Kyon was slightly more suspicious this time around. Like last week, Kyoto Animation reanimated everything from different angles and with different shots, and it sounded like all the lines were re-recorded too. I'm sure by the end of all this, if not already, the voice actors will be able to recite those lines by heart.
I can't decide if Kyoto Animation is doing this to troll us, or if they're buying time so that they don't have to actually cover all that much new material, or if this is stunt for the sake of pulling a stunt, or what. Whatever the reason, as I said earlier, I'm really hoping that they don't do this for eight straight episodes or for the rest of the season. I wouldn't put it past them though, and I'll probably go into next weeks episode expecting it not to conclude again.

Luffy and company are their way to Marineford, and Buggy ascends to idol status for most of the prisoners.Summary:In Level 4 of Impel Down, Blackbeard and his crew are revived by Shiryuu, who had brought the antidote to Magellan's poison. Blackbeard invites Shiryuu to join his gang, and Shiryuu accepts the offer.Buggy's descend into madness... wait, never mind. He's already nuts.After sailing past the Gates of Justice, Buggy wants to celebrate the escape, but Luffy and Ivankov's crew are still depressed over the lost of Bon, and soon Luffy and Buggy end up in a brawl. After the brawl, Luffy and Buggy arrive at the helm of the ship and are shocked to learn that Jimbei is a Shichibukai. Buggy and most of the other prisoners are then even more shocked when they discover the ship is heading for Marineford. Buggy and the prisoners want the ship to turn around, but Crocodile informs them that the ship is stuck in the circulating current between Impel Down, Marineford, and Enies Lobby. At this point, the ship receives a call from Marine HQ which is picked up by Luffy. The marines state that they will not open the Gates of Justice at Marineford, so the escapees' ship will be stuck in the currents. The marines also identify Luffy and Buggy as masterminds behind the escape, taking note of Buggy's history as a trainee on Gold Roger's ship along side Skanks. After Luffy hangs up telling the marines to wait and see, many of the prisoners start looking up to Buggy as if he were a rock star. Sensing a great opportunity, Buggy rallies the prisoners together with the goal of taking down White Beard, and thus everyone on the ship is in agreement as to the destination of Marineford.At Marineford, Ace is led to the gallows with three hours left until the execution.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Ah Buggy and his funny logic. Aside from the fact that he and the prisoners who idolize him have no chance in hell of taking down Whitebeard, Buggy seems to have to completely forgotten about the marines who want to crush him and his supporters. It's true that Crocodile has a similar intention of taking down White Beard, but being a former Shichibukai I envision that the Marines would be a lot more willing to accept his assistance than Buggy's. I pretty sure Buggy will balk when the going gets tough.On the other hand, we finally saw Blackbeard and Shiryuu again, and it seems the two have joined forces. Turns out Blackbeard really did get owned by Magellan in one move, which doesn't look for Blackbeard, but there again there was a reason why Luffy and everyone were running away from Magellan like he was Godzilla. We still don't know what Blackbeard is really up to though, and it could be a while before we find out given how Luffy is on his way to his next big adventure.
