This episode, we get Jade, Anise, Ion… and most importantly, Cheagles. What are Cheagles? They are these small rodents with huge eyes and annoying voices. They also have a leader whose eyebrows has grown into another pair of ears. Actually, as much as I’m making it sound like I hate them, I actually [...]

Everytime summer arrives, the big-budget Hollywood movies come too. It seems to be the most lucrative season of mainstream film the whole year, as blockbuster after blockbuster gets released in a span of a few months. Granted that there are some exceptions to the rule, but generally, summer blockbusters are usually shallow, popcorn entertainment [...]

The addition of nipples to the censored serialised edition of To Love-Ru has become something of an expected fixture of the manga, but the latest edition, volume 11, takes things further than any previous volume, with no less than ten characters given the anatomical upgrades they deserve; amusingly, even the tiniest panels get the addition [...]

Artefact brings mention about the updated Evangelion movie website and the announced released date for the second movie, early summer of 2009. The second movie’s English subtitle is also now known; Evangelion 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance. An interesting choice of words.
The official movie poster has also been updated from the first one with [...]

Alright, so it’s all done. Yeah~
So why this one in particular? Well, me and crossovers have always been sort of like an illicit couple. I don’t talk much on crossovers yet I love them to hell.
So, well, yeah, I could go on and on about the lost sleep and numerous checks, the cloning and typesetting [...]

[ Turn 25: Re; ]
It’s hard to believe that it’s all over now. Code Geass was my favorite show of 2007 and I came into R2 prepared to be amazed once more. Did it happen? It sure as hell did. But on what scale exactly? Hit the jump to find out and for my, Youko’s, [...]

[ Episode 78-79: Asuma Dies! Naruto Shippuuden One-Hour Special ]
This is easily one of the best episodes I’ve seen in a long time. The sheer drama and suspense was maddening, much more than when it was presented in manga-form because of the wonderful use of the soundtrack and great performances from the seiyuus. My nervers [...]

cool parents who are secret agents capable of running down showers of machine guns bullets and kungfu’ing with their bare hands.

Door no Jutsu!
So after Kakashi shows off his “newly” acquired Rasengan, he tells Naruto the fourth’s goal was to implement elements into the Rasengan in order to make it stronger, and it’s up to Naruto to fuse his wind chakra with it, so you guessed [...]

CHECKMATE-O FOR LELOUCH! ALL HAIL LELOUCH!
Man, I so did not see Lelouch’s victory surfacing in this manner. If there ever was a time the words PWNT had to appear in this series in neon letters across the screen, then the exact moment that Schneizel got Geassed would be it. [...]

Why does everyone assume that I would be blogging Gundam 00 Season 2? I never said that I would. It’s not good to be overly presumptuous. I mean, it is true that the only thing keeping this blog from becoming a desolate wasteland is my weekly episode “review”, [...]

[ Episode 75: The Old Monk's Prayer ]
The biggest surprise (for anime-only viewers) of the episode was seeing Kakashi use the Rasengan. When I first saw this I was confused since I always thought that the Rasengan wasn’t a jutsu to be copied since it didn’t use hand signs. On a lighter note, the omake [...]

I am so confused. What is this show trying to be? And who the snet is the target audience? For the first thirty seconds, I thought I was watching Princess Tutu. And then it became...I don't know. I thought maybe it was meant to be a comedy. The inadequate house crew, the random old man butler who does nothing but sip tea, a demanding young master, and a butler who can do anything?

This afternoon, my anime club Anime Souffle took a visit to Royal-T–the LA area’s only maid cafe. It’s my first experience at any kind of maid cafe, and it was definitely surprising in some respects.
The first question pretty much any otaku would ask–are the maids cute?–can be answered with a definitive “yes!” Here’s one example [...]

You already read Pontifus’ entry, “The Video Game as Text,” right? Well, go do that if you haven’t, I’ll wait.
I’ve been thinking of that whole can of worms since he made that post, and I’ve had a few thoughts that might interest you, the Super Fanicom reader. These are likely to be more disjointed [...]

Now that Gundam 00 S2 started, there are spoilers at just about every corner of the internet so I’ll be staying away for awhile. Or at least not be on so much. I will be watching 00 but waiting until the episodes stack up first ^^;. Now for what I’m doing…
Currently working on the GFF [...]
