Zyl: Oh yeah, I read Suguru’s insane rant full of hatred. LOL Stripey: Yeah, the game CGs are really good. Such fantastic character design. When I think about what Doumu has done to the characters, I just… *sniff* *sniff* Feeeeeenaaaa…. *sobbing*…. Cabbage…. *sobbing* Maaaaai…. *sobbing*

It's around about now that we realise Death Note is becoming more than a very good anime series. It's becoming one of those "OMFG-WTF-CLIFFHANGER!?!" types. I can feel the hysteria surging within me. 15 episodes in and the twists and turns of the story are still as unpredictable as ever. Watching it makes me a frustrated anime fan. More, more, more, I feel like I need to consume it all at once, knowing full well its immediate beauty is the element of surprise. I have to ask questions, but don't want the answers.Episode 15 ..

Seriously, I have no idea. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Also, the Japanese Society of Tobacco Control is apparently protesting all the underage smoking seen in NANA. Seriously, didn't that series start, what, last spring? And you wait til now to complain? Although I guess it gets you more publicity if you complain when it's popular... Finally, Nanoha news has come in the greatness that

Though not at all related, I still feel that both of these trailers should go here. First is the Yes! Precure 5 trailer that was just released giving an episode one preview. The show is set to air on February 4th. Streaming version is here, YouTube after the brizzle. That's black talk for break. Secondly [...]

Props to those who recognised it earlier but it's not until this episode that I noticed how Vittorio's costume design is a combination of Man-Faye and Pippi Longstocking. It's probably unintentional but needless to say it became a good source of laughter throughout this episode. The problem with this is that it takes away the serious nature of the story, especially during the last few minutes of the episode. Animation-wise, it holds up quite well although I did notice a lot of static stills being used in some parts of the episodes.

Hot on the heels of the trailer for the super-sized boxed set for the show, Dr. Slump Arale-chan is getting a new movie! That's right! Possibly the larger part of the news is that it is set to hit theaters March 3rd as part of a double feature with One Piece: Episode of Alabaster. Boy [...]

I must say, it didn’t take hackers very long to break the PSP’s 3.03 firmware (I think it took between one and two months this time.) Accordingly, prices of the unpatched version of GTA LCS have skyrocketed on eBay. I think I’m going to actually downgrade my PSP for this first time [...]

This falls in the somewhat bizarre and cool category that Japan usually has a monopoly on. Apparently there’s a store in Akihabara called “Don Quixote” that will put your face on a little maid figurine. You just need to bring a photo of yourself. The process takes 3 minutes, and the total cost is 880 [...]
