The bento I packed today (and some sushi) >>

It's been a busy day, so I haven't had time to watch any new releases. But, I did pack this delicious looking (and tasting) bento. I usually like to spend time planning my bento and making all the different pieces, but since it was a busy day I just composed this one from leftovers and some store-bought food. But I guess technically that's the real point of a bento. It's meant to be a delicious

Shugo Chara Doki 58 - I want my twenty minutes back... >>

Well, as indicated by last week's preview, this episode was utterly and completely useless. Completely. Not even a snippet of plot or subplot to make it worthwhile. Although admittedly, Yoru rapping was pretty funny. Ami decides she hates her parents because they won't buy a dollhouse for her, so she makes Amu take her to school. She then kidnaps Amu's charas for show and tell. When the other

Skip Beat! Ch. 131 - Chiorin's Attack >>

Blah. Chiorin is so not a threat. Her evil twisty plots don't seem to be going anywhere. Chiorin changes her look to be more mature, knowing that it's not what the director wants. Her plan is to keep missing the direction so that she delays the filming, thus making everyone blame Kyoko for forcing her to change in the first place. That's...such a terrible plan. Seriously? You're going to do

Skip Beat Ep. 06 - Ruriko vs. Kyoko >>

Things really start getting good now that Kyoko's actually doing some acting. Oh, and of course more Ren x Kyoko scenes are made of WIN. Ren carries Kyoko to the filming set princess-style, which sets Ruriko off. Ruriko tries to flirt with Ren, but he repels her with an insincere smile saying that he was tired of waiting. Ruriko decides to make trouble by leaving the set, knowing that since

Shugo Chara Doki 57 - The Path to MANHOOD >>

This episode was so useless, but I laughed so hard. Being a man's man is hard work. Ikuto and Yoru are searching for his violin, but they don't have any luck. Yoru is concerned because the violin is very important to Ikuto, but Ikuto says it's not that big of a deal. At school, a group of dojo students request that everyone hide their cute things because the dojo senpai is coming to school

Chaos;HEAd Ep. 04 - Reality Lost >>

Sorry for the lateness of this post. I was delayed by a mix of a hectic work week and the fact that this episode is quite frankly not as good as the others. The "whose eyes are these" motto is suddenly popular thanks to the "vampire killings" as of late. No matter where Takumi goes, he's haunted by it. Takumi runs into the dark haired girl again, and she realized he can see her sword. She

Skip Beat! Ep. 05 - First Day on the Job >>

Lory explains to Kyoko that a real actor has to want to be loved. Kyoko seems to be missing the desire and ability to love, which is why she's in the Love Me section. Once she can get people to love her, she'll be ready for her debut. Kyoko agrees to do her best and is give a horrendous hot pink jumpsuit as her uniform. She tries out different poses, but can't figure out how on earth she can

Shugo Chara Doki 56 - Nadeshiko Returns! >>

Yaaay! Nadeshiko/Nagihiko is back! Amu has a dream that Nadeshiko returns, but it's cut short by stern awakening from Nikaido. The female guardians are in their greenhouse, and they wonder where Tadase is. Before they can speculate too much, an awkward boy stumbles in, lost. Meanwhile, Tadase and Kukai are with the school principal. The principal says he has someone for them to meet, and

Sneaky Ninja Animation - Preview Images >>

I am so behind on watching anime (blame work and the current U.S. Elections). I've only managed to keep up with three series this season. And so on my day off from work, what do I do? Animate stuff in Flash, of course! This is my first time working on a serious animation, and it's a lot of fun but slow going so far. Since it does have an anime-esque style to it, I assume you won't mind seeing a

Skip Beat! Ep. 04 - Please Love Me! >>

Kyoko has a new job at a gas station, and she's moving on with her life after her failed LME audition. A commercial on the TV starring Shou makes her angry, but she tries to move past it. Unfortunately for her, Shou and his manager drive up to that very gas station. One of the other attendants asks Shou for an autograph and talks about what a fan she is. Shou treats her very kindly, and the

Skip Beat! Ch. 130 - KYOKOWNED!!! >>

Kaori suggests that Kyoko can't find her tie because she just wasn't trying hard enough. Kyoko says she'll return to look for it, but before she leaves, she tears Kaori's tie off, saying that since they're friends it would be okay if their look matched as well. Everyone is shocked, and the director is impressed with Kyoko's ability to act as the cold leader to the others. He notes that now that
