There was always something about certain anime that would irritate the hell outta me. I could never say what exactly since it seemed pretty elusive to describe. After going through NewType USA with Chikashi, I finally have a name to put to a face - moe.
Gah, I loathe weak female characters, aka moekko. Loathe [...]

Impz has made a rough scan of the 70 over series that will be shown in the upcoming spring season and found the few series that have caught my eye. I have found that I really am hopeless at reviewing anything funny, or anything that is of shounen. Hence, my scope of reviewing episodes are [...]

Spam is the worst thing ever invented by man. It is completely useless and wastes my time. Nobody wastes my time except me. At least thermonuclear weapons may someday be used to blow up a planet-annihilating meteor heading our way like in Armageddon.
Before Akismet was added to WordPress as a default plugin, I manually moderated [...]

When one goes to Akihabara, apart from the tons of manga and anime figurines and merchandies, the place is also saturated with “maid services.” Basically nowadays there’s so many varieties from cafe to getting your hair done … whatever you want you can get it provided by a maid, or at least a pretty young [...]

Ok, this should be the last time I fail to update my blog for a while. The last few days, my computer was once again at the maintenance stores, getting completely wiped, and having Windows XP reinstalled, and other stuff. This means though, that I will need some time to reorganize everything, so my blogging [...]

Hmmm… how should I say this, the first episode is great but from second episode onwards, the excitement started to drop slowly. This might be because they’re showing us the story from pre episode one, but for me the most disappointing aspect of the show is the animation color. I’m not sure [...]

Remember that insane Geneon anime sale at Rightstuf a while back? Well, they’re sorta doing it again, but with ADV stuff now. You can get 10 ADV dvds for $50 or 25 for $100. That’s seriously cheap!
I have a weak will. Even though I have waaaayyyy too many anime dvds in my review queue as [...]

Wow, another little surprise. While episode 19 of Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto was airing, a little insert song made its appearance.
The song is called “Namida”, and performed by Chiaki Ishikawa, former lead singer of See-Saw. It’s only a sample from the anime, and I haven’t find any information of a single release. But I’m sure it [...]

After revolutionizing the way image dump sites were handled and introducing the concept of the tagboard, Danbooru is finally dead, no thanks to the semenonfigure, hentai and people with shitty tastes uploading every single damn thing they could find on it.

Sometimes fate can be cruel. For example, I recently spent over £60 on single DVDs of Scrapped Princess, and now a cheap boxset has appeared for around a third of that price. I even looked for a boxset before settling on the singles, and there didn’t seem to be any sign of one. Damn you, [...]
