Saten debates on using Level Upper while Kuroko deals with some dangerous thugs. Impressions: Okay first of all do these people hate Touma or something? Another episode where they cut him out. I suppose since there was ties to the last one there is some sense in it, but damn it they have to stop doing that. [...]

I’ll admit, I was drawn to the advertisements for Dragonaut, even if they didn’t make that much sense. The web ads depicting the fetching female lead and promise of abundant eye-candy (“Real Dragons have Curves,”) sparked an adolescent curiosity the likes of which I probably shouldn’t admit to ever possessing, but nevertheless made me elevate it to the top of my review queue. Long story short, having actually attempted viewing Dragonaut, the most positive thing I can proffer is that the series is one giant pile of suck. The ...

- Ninpuu Kamui Gaiden Blu-ray box announced. 34,800 yen before tax and contains the TV series and the movie. It's kinda expensive for a 1969 TV series (well, plus a movie) and I've never even heard of this series.

Or more precisely, new computer parts. My current computer (5.5 years old at this time) is just about dead; it takes around eight hours to reboot and the video card croaked. Being that nobody makes AGP video cards anymore – and that I was very lucky a friend still had an old machine [...]

Images to be added later once I get hold of HQ scans that I can properly credit Most of you probably know that Skip Beat is one of my favorite series. Also, by extent you also probably knows that KyokoxRen is one of my favorite couples. And anyone who still follows the skip beat manga, probably [...]

Usually I don’t like writing posts about site updates and that sort of thing, but I felt even though I made some small changes/additions, I needed to let everyone viewing this site know. First off, unless you are blind…no, that’s a bad joke, let me start over. Ok, unless you hate boobs, then you probably [...]

Sorry for the delay… but you can never be late for Kobato, can you? Continuing Kobato’s quest of getting more konpeito, she finds out from being a dojikko with the paint and spilling the paint all over the place that she got Fujimoto angry again… Fujimoto always seems to be one of those characters that [...]

I had seen it several weeks ago after Omni pointed it out to me, but posting about it kind of slipped my mind until now. As such, I wouldn't be surprised if many of you have already come across it, so this is more for those who haven't or would simply like to hear me out. (We have readers like that right...? >_>) Titled "Tsunaida Te" 「つないだ手」 (Connected Hands), the song is performed by a relatively new female duo that debuted last year under DefSTAR Records, a subsidiary of Sony Music Entertainment. Featuring MIE as the vocals and AILA as the rap, Lil'B is actually short for "Little Betrayal", a name that's supposed to mean they're "a playful and mischievous surprise in the world". Hidden group name meanings aside, the PV doesn't feature MIE nor AILA as it's one of those scenario-type music videos. Instead, it stars the cute fashion model/actress Sasaki Nozomi. While this could easily become a full-blown discussion about Nozomi, I'll stop myself there with the "cute" remark and let you comment on that regard. Anyway, unlike supercell's Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari PV, this one is pretty easy to follow, which saves me from having to summarize it in some way. As for the song itself, I originally didn't think much of it when I heard it back in episode 27 and still sort of prefer Fukuhara Miho's "LET IT OUT", but it makes for a good solemn song in comparison. <spoiler 'show="" fullmetal="" alchemist:="" brotherhood="" ed3="" 「つないだ手」="" by="" lil="" b'="" 'hide="" fullmetal="" alchemist:="" brotherhood="" ed3="" 「つないだ手」="" by="" lil="" b'=""><object width="512" height="322"><param name="movie" value="http://d.yimg.com/static.video.yahoo.com/yep/YV_YEP.swf?ver=2.2.46"/><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"/><param name="AllowScriptAccess" value="always"/><param name="bgcolor" value="#000000"/><param name="flashVars" value="id=16024783&amp;vid=6171808&amp;lang=en-us&amp;intl=us&amp;thumbUrl=http%3A//l.yimg.com/a/p/i/bcst/videosearch/11779/94834360.jpeg&amp;embed=1"/><embed src="http://d.yimg.com/static.video.yahoo.com/yep/YV_YEP.swf?ver=2.2.46" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="512" height="322" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" bgcolor="#000000" flashvars="id=16024783&amp;vid=6171808&amp;lang=en-us&amp;intl=us&amp;thumbUrl=http%3A//l.yimg.com/a/p/i/bcst/videosearch/11779/94834360.jpeg&amp;embed=1"></embed></object> </spoiler>

Nyankoi is about to die! Mainly because it’s shoving the cats out of the series like a fat cat shoving a kitten out-of-the-way of his food bowl. Nyankoi’s charm, at least what’s left of it after nine episodes, is largely derived from the cats in the series. Without the cats, the series is yet another harem anime [...]

Let it be decreed that this was the greatest pool/beach episode I've ever seen. If Sora no Otoshimono is fanservice done right long-term, this was fanservice done right in a one shot. Great designs, excellent animation, perfect use of chibi forms, sneaky fanservice split-second eyecatches, random appearances and that's in just half the episode! I have no doubt in my mind that AIC is going to knock Strike Witches out of the park. Actually, there's really not much I can say about the first half. I'll let the images speak for themselves. Part 1: Swimming [...]

Ack too many things to post about—!!! Chapter 13 is out and the long awaited scene is finally here! I guess that marks an end to the first extended arc of Akagami no Shirayuki-hime (English: Red-haired Snow-White princess), and I am utterly impressed. I never thought I’d see so much.. sensibility, or rationale, in a fantasy [...]

Pretty much summarizes on how people feel. As you might have noticed by now, there was an article with regards on Japan going harsher with Peer-to-peer download programs, and it was stated that the current government was pushing for an all-ban on both uploading and downloading of copyright materials. Before this law was passed, it is considered [...] Related posts:Japan Government Going Hard On P2P UsersThe Verdict: Japan Bans Rape GamesJapan Announces Replacement “Anime & Manga Museum”
