 I present to you, readers of Anime Vice, MS Paint hentai! Yes, now I’ve seen everything and can die happy. Not all Japanese people are good at drawing, and this “manga” is proof of that. Of course this 20 page comic was drawn horribly on purpose by the people over at 2chan, and it’s damn entertaining. I know it’s wrong, but I kind of want to draw a sequel to it myself; but I’m afraid it will be even worse than this. Enjoy!

Some people call it cheating.  Others call it mad skillz. I call it Keikaku doori This episode features another peculiar and somewhat interesting Mahjong player, someone who is so easy to miss that you can actually forget that she is in even there. In fact, she makes good use of this ability to turn the tables around in her [...]

This episode is surprisingly good. I expected a filler episode but it turned out to be an episode which was adapted from 2 omake chapters from the manga. The 2 chapters tell the story of what happened in the Real world and Soul Society before Ichigo met Rukia.In the Real world, the main focus is on Mizuiro. Before he met Ichigo, his attitude towards people and life seemed to be cold and indifferent. I like how the episode ended with Mizuiro reflecting about people and his own life. This episode also shows another side of Keigo. He's still as annoying as ever but according to Mizuiro, he's pretty smart even though he never studies, gets along well with others and never lies. At the end of the episode, from the way he talks to Mizuiro, he also shows his caring and sensible side.On the other hand, in Soul Society, Renji is newly promoted as Vice-Taichou and Rukia is sent to the Real world. Due to his inferiority complex, Renji has been keeping a distance from Rukia for 40 years. Even though he's finally on par with Rukia in terms of status now, Renji decides to tell Rukia about his promotion only after he's officially promoted and when she returns from the Real world.Next episode will be a Bleach/Beach episode. It looks like a 100% fan-service episode and it's certainly not my cup of tea.What's Hot?Yachiru-chan draws on Omaeda's balding head. - It's been a long time since we last see cute Yachiru-chan in action.Ichigo and Chad are kicking some ass. Keigo gets all freaked out whereas Mizhuiro remains cool and even introduces himself to Ichigo. - This is the beginning of their friendship!A different side of Mizuiro and Keigo - They are great side characters but they have too little appearance in the manga. I hope KT sensei has not forgotten about them.Rukia enters the Real world. - She looks cool!What's Not?None. This episode exceeds my expectation!

Please keep in mind, this is just episode 1, and I’m trying to be as lenient as possible on this show. But I can only be so nice. Somehow, I highly doubt my opinion on the show is going to change a whole lot any time soon, but you never really know. I’ve been hearing quite [...]

We’ve just booked our plane tickets for Daicon. Yeah, we’re so good we take airplanes to anime conventions! Or rather, for some reason, a plane ticket costs less than a coach ride there, and 5 hours less time. I’m not sure how the media pass looks like or if it has our names on it, [...]

First of all the Philippines still has Cartoon Network’s Toonami block, then they get Kamen Rider Kabuto on it, and finally they get a Kabuto dub in English! IN ENGLISH! That’s like if we got the new season of Haruhi on American televisions with a Spanish dub. No matter how much I whine and complain, it doesn’t change the fact that it still exists; and thanks to the internet we can watch it as well. Hopefully, this is just some kind of test show, and they plan on bringing back Toonami to America with Kamen Rider Kabuto in tow. Now the voices themselves are not bad; it reminds me of a Hong Kong action movie. As my grandmother always said, Kamen Rider Kabuto is an awesome show.

Well, what can I say... the Suntec event saw a large number of cosplayers, and an even larger number of photographers. In Singapore, we call these the "Wall of Photographers" phenomenon aka WoP. Anyway, the actual event itself was pretty so-so but gamers there really had a good time. If I have gone back to gaming on a regular basis, I may have been more excited about it.
