11/30/2009 03:48 PM ESTHoshi no Koe (Voices of a Distant Star) graphic novel >>
I’m always wary of spin-offs and retellings that aren’t done by the original writer or artist; particularly so when the story is one of my personal favourites. As much as I admire Makoto Shinkai’s Hoshi no Koe OAV I’ve always felt it had some room for improvement, but wasn’t sure whether anyone else could recreate [...]

Hey, Say, Anime!
11/30/2009 03:46 PM ESTSeitokai no Ichizon Episode 8: “I Want to Marry Nii-Sama” >>
Minnie: Why, oh why, is Ichizon subbed a day later than Kimi ni Todoke now? It’s so problematic for my schedule. Luckily, it was Thanksgiving weekend for me since I’m an American and all so I do have time to finish these blog entries earlier than usual. I hope the sub group for this anime return [...]

Inuyasha goes to train with a Demon King to learn how to use his newly powered Tetsusaiga.
Impressions:
I thought this episode was interesting. This has actually been one episode where they didn’t actually have a lot going on. Previously the episodes have really been this fast push to continue the story, while this one simply focused [...]

This post is really, really late, seeing as how Super Smash Bros. Brawl has been out for a long time now, but I was thinking about the story mode recently and my theories on it back when the game first came out. As such, I want to record them here for all of you.
Warning, spoilers [...]

I thought that this would be the season that everyone remembers as the year Crunchyroll got their hands on about half of the anime airing. But Crunchyroll appears to have a far less impression on the anime world than I originally thought they would. Is it because of the rather suspect quality of their streams and subtitles? As a [...]

This won’t stop major stuff from being posted immediately every now and again, but this will be the main one-stop shop [...]

The OEG attempted to jumpstart the half-dead blogosphere, but it seems to only cause people to question them or even outright show themselves as internet trolls by other bloggers and one blogger did their work for them already. The problem is that the Aniblogosphere in my view is alot less on Anime and Manga or [...]

Life's a bitch, and so is Haruhi.
So, I didn't pay the total MSRP for the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya DVDs as they came out because I bought them on sale, but I definitely spent at least a good hundred, maybe $150. But those of you who put off buying it?
Well, if you're still interested in picking it up, Right Stuf has a deal for you: a DVD bundle from Bandai featuring
all four limited edition DVD releases
, including the box and all the other bonus stuff. Here's a rough list, if you need something to jog your memory.
- Haruhi cosplay hair ribbon
- Haruhi cosplay arm band
- Hare Hare Yukai CD
- Bouken Desho Desho CD
- Haruhi no Tsumeawase CD
- Pencil boards
- Iron-on logos
- Pillowcases
And of course, the DVD set includes both English and Japanese dubs, various previews, galleries, the ASOS Brigade special features, and all that good stuff. You can buy it
right now
.
And the price? $59.99.
$59.99.
I spent more than that on the first DVD
alone
! And you guys thought Bandai's prices sucked. Sheesh. I'm gonna go stew in a corner and listen to Hare Hare Yukai on repeat now.

I finally got around to marathoning and finishing both seasons of Gundam 00, just in time for the upcoming Gundam Unicorn OVAs. Despite my inherent distaste for AU Gundam series after the pure disaster that is SEED, I actually found G00 pretty entertaining, or at least good enough that something had to be said about it. So… welcome one [...]

Yuuto goes to a party for butlers and maids.
Impressions:
I was surprised with how much I liked this episode, especially considering Haruka wasn’t in it at all. I figured an episode that didn’t feature the main female would be useless, as it obviously wouldn’t develop any relationship between them, but I have to say I liked [...]
