Highlight of the Episode - Harima and Tenma’s Ringtone Harima and Tenma share the same ringtone - the theme song of “The Three Who Were Slashed.”   Harima and Tenma has the coolest ringtone, lol. Back then, I was gonna use that as my ringtone. Maybe I should do that after this episode, lol. From [...]

Looking back at these past 9 months, a lot has changed. Suzumiya Haruhi’s lasting impact in the minds of the fan-sphere is a weird one. For people like me, we cling to it. But like many of Kyoto Animation’s works, it lacks that consistency which reminds me of warm, home-made breakfasts; toasty winter holiday family [...]

Although Fuji TV officially made the announcement today, I did, sometime last week, have the story listed under my “Notes” as a possible rumor. You guys do read my notes when you stop by right? There’s some juicy tidbits written on there sometimes. Well at least I think so :\ The actual TV spot announcment from [...]

Did you know it’s the end of the fiscal year? Until I started working for the US government I only cared about things like a calendar year. Now the world revolves around the end of September. So in a week I can say happy new year to you all, and my life [...]

SPOILER Man, I’ve been meaning to blog this as soon as I finished it since I’m supposed to blog a manga every month, but things came up. Now I can finally blog this awesome volume of Death Note. Here’s a brief overview of it: > L has managed to found out about the notebook; therefore, he saw [...]

It's those damn terrorists again! As we're all aware, the war on terror knows no bounds, and now, not even our anime is safe! The beloved hidden village of the leaf (known to gurning locals as Konoha) has become the target of crafty suicide bombers - who could have suspected berserk eagles with explosives strapped to their claws, aimed straight at the popular village's renowned statue? One can only imagine how these ingrates managed to brain wash wild animals. Later that day, a veteran suicide bomber disturbingly hinted that it's now only a mat..

And so we finally find out the story concerning Yano's ex (why is it her name is the same as his current girlfriend?). To be honest it's not much of a revelation but the fact that Yuri is telling Yano all this after two years is, to my mind at least, much more interesting in terms of what it says about her character. It could be argued that she just wants to make the truth known but the way she delivers the news (including the cold way in...

"I will show you what MEGA TSUNDERE is!" Just recently watched the CM. Animation looks decent and I like the character design. Probably will give the first episode a try. Another thing I like about the series. ITS 24eps!!! ^__^  Just wondering, for any blogsome [...]

Well, this was a good day from Volks. The last posting I have today is for a pair of figures from the Mai-HiME series. The first comes to us from Mai-Otome. It is a 1/6 scale resin cast kit of Erstin Ho. She is displayed in her finest Otome armor and is about to lay [...]

Volks, when will you cease to make me happy? I mean, you know, in the realm of today. If you liked the Densha Otoko live action series, or like me, liked the opening more, then get ready to have your otaku stroked in a major way. Volks has announced the release of two 1/6 scale [...]

Yesterday was the official street date for several monthly eroge magazines, and it shows this morning in the backwash of online updates posted at Moonphase and elsewhere. HD brings the lowdown on several new titles and updates on a few old ones - hold on to your pants if you have them, it's a bit of a rough ride ahead.

Volks sure does know how to make a man erect… I mean… shit… there was no subtlety in that. Anyway, coming fresh from the good people and Volks are a pair of 1/4 scale resin kits of Hayase Mitsuki and Suzumiya Haruka. While these ladies are censored in the pictures, they're not the sort of [...]

Heh, I loved this episode. Even though it’s just the introduction of the next arc, The Third somehow makes these kinds of episodes always very interesting to watch, and this one’s no difference. I like how each arc selects a different number of main characters to focus on. The Gravestone arc featured Honoka, Paife and [...]

Amazingly, this is the only trading figure set today. You'd think that trading figures were like little gold nuggets. Ok, I won't bitch. I know some people still dig them, and I have to say that CMS Corp's Mai-Otome trading figure offering has grasped me in some weird way. The reason I say that they've [...]

This may not actually happen in the manga, but it looks like an action title. The only action in Tsubasa the anime, alas, occurs in the opening sequence.

Well, I think it's safe to assume this next lady is from an eroge named Myourenji-cha Megumi: Colorful Education (or maybe the other way around). Now, while I won't out and out call her NSFW I will say that she likely shouldn't be viewed in eyeshot of coworkers or bosses. She is posed… provocatively. I'm [...]

It's been a while since my last post (as usual, this shouldn't be anything new to people who've been with this blog from the beginning). In fact, for a while I've been contemplating doing away with the blog, maybe starting from scratch, or broadening the content. However, this blog was created out of my love for the Japanese animated format of storytelling, and for that it will remain. This time
