Under the belief that I may have a 20GB student cap… I think I’ll still be able to watch anime at university. Overall, this season does look pretty good and better than winter season (which I’ve sort of lost interest in). Definitely Watching: Angel Beats – Even after death, you can’t escape going to school! <- The [...]

This is just me sharing some thoughts about student life as I’ve finally made it to university as a first year student; studying “pre-med” (as it’s called) at the University of Otago. Feel free to leave a comment~ So the summer holidays are finally over for me and I’ve moved down to Dunedin to continue climbing [...]

I think this was meant to try and mimic the previous Index-tan specials that J.C. Staff did, but this 8 minute long special that came with the first DVD/Blu-ray volume of To Aru Kagaku no Railgun was just plain weird. Titled: To Aru Kagaku no Railgun MMR, with MMR standing for “もっとまるっと超電磁砲” (Much More Railgun). [...]

Again, spoiler for those who have yet to read the manga/only watch the anime. This chapter brings yet again another showdown which I definitely want to see animated! Following from Frenda’s defeat last chapter, Mikoto tries to question her about who hired them before Mugino and Takitsubo enter and save Frenda from getting fried. After telling [...]

Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA was a rhythm game produced by SEGA for Sony’s PSP. This involves pressing the correct combination of buttons as they appear onscreen, whilst Miku dances around in the background singing. Now there’s a fanmade version of Project DIVA that simulates the gameplay which you would experience on the PSP or the [...]

Spoiler for those who have yet to read the manga/only watch the anime. It's a shame that it looks like at this point that this chapter won't make it in time for the anime. This chapter focused on the main fight between Mikoto and Frenda (one of the four girls who cameoed in episode 12 of the anime, which occurs during the Sisters Arc.

I was first introduced to Vocaloids and their music – specifically Hatsune Miku’s (初音ミク) – about two years ago but didn’t really pay attention back then asides from the fact I quite liked Miku’s character design. It was only last month that I really got into the music through supercell thanks to a fellow New [...]

Whilst the film doesn’t actually get released for another two weeks (February 6th), this PV condenses the 150 minute film into a 5 minute montage. The PV itself is for the Original Soundtrack to the movie posted by Lantis, being released a week (Jan 27th) before the movie. This is very spoiler heavy. So unless [...]

This is like an episode 14 to K-ON!’s first season, being released with the last Blu-ray DVD of the first season. The girls are invited to perform a live by Ritsu and Mio’s friend from their middle school. To be honest, I can’t say I was expecting much from this episode after feeling like the [...]

I cannot believe the weather here. It’s mid-January; we’re having 12 degree days, a lot of rain and I’m pretty sure Winter has just decided to revisit this month. There have only been 8 sunny days out of the last 26 since around Christmas and this is probably the worst summer weather I can recall. My ISP’s been annoying too, I blew my bandwidth and that led to practically no anime over the past week although I’m not entirely sure it’s my fault considering their track record’s in the spotlight right now for constant failure as a public telecommunications provider. I still haven’t decided what’s interesting enough to watch this season though, So・Ra・No・Wo・To and Ookami Kakushii are the only ones I’ve started so far. I’ve been told that Dance in the Vampire Bund (naked vampire loli?) and Durarara!! are good. Instead I’ve ended up doing some reading. To my surprise I found the first light novel (translated) of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya at the city library. It’s not the hardback version I’ve seen online, but it was still the same book. I’m not sure how far I’ll get through this, I read the Baka-Tsuki version back in ‘08 and this is very similar to it. It’s been awhile, but I think I got up to Volume 6: The ___ of Haruhi Suzumiya last I remember.

I hope everyone has had a good start to 2010. It was pretty fun over New Years to watch the recap montage of things that happened in the last decade. Y2K is just one of the hilarious things in hindsight. 2010 also aired the last special episode for David Tennant’s Tenth Doctor on Doctor Who. I [...]
