Jun is the main reason why I am still watching Happiness! Haruhi bores me to tears while the Ilya clone is irritating. Anri and Koyuki are cute but don’t have enough series differentation power. No wonder Happiness! is regarded as one of the two trap shows of this season even though the trap here is [...]

Note: A bit of site news ahead. I will be dropping Happiness! officially from any form of blogging because I have too many series to review. Eventually, I will reduce the anime that I will be regularly blogging to 5 or so. The guaranteed keepers are Red Garden, Mamoru, Bokura ga Ita and Asatte no [...]

Impressions: Ok, so the thing that got me very intrigued this episode was the little upskirt shot of Jun. It looks like he doesn’t have a crotch, so I’m going to just think of him as a girl now. How exactly does everyone know he’s a guy anyway? And what, does he change in the guys’ [...]

I don’t want to hide the fact that I don’t really have a clue why I have ended up enjoying this show quite a lot. Nothing really stands out (except Yuuma’s crazy mother) when I try to analyse Happiness! but I guess this is just another comfirmation that some things are more than the sum [...]

How 'bout them Dawgs? I'm in a very good mood now since we somehow managed to beat Auburn today. Beat Georgia Tech in a couple of weeks and it'll turn out to be a decent season for all that's gone on -- losing 4 of our last 5 games before this week, and two of those to Kentucky and Vanderbilt, the bottom-feeders of the SEC. Anyways, hope all of y'all in the states had a nice Veterans' Day today. Over in Japan 11/11 was PS3 mania time, though only for a few with such a low number of units available. Speaking of PS3, the local Target had a kiosk runnning with demos for NBA 07 and MotorStorm (and it was hooked up to an HDTV, 720p). I tried out MotorStorm for a bit -- pretty much your standard arcade-style racer. Controls were pretty easy -- L and R triggers for throttle and brake -- though it didn't seem like there were any options for motion control. Graphics were good, but not exactly mindblowing... the framerate wasn't very stable (and that wasn't just me, a few people who were watching made similar comments) and that's something I pretty much can't stand. Anyways, not much of an issue for me since it'll be a while before I even think of getting a PS3... any of y'all planning to get one this Friday? Back on topic now, this day was very nice for another reason besides us winning -- it's my birthday (as you probably guessed from the post title). 25 years and still not out of school yet, but I do have a job now ;) Went out to eat with the family and have a cake and all, so it's been good. After that I stopped by GameStop to pick up something (Target would be next door): Elite Beat Agents, the US sequel of sorts localization of Ouendan. I spent about two hours playing through the Normal difficulty -- the latter levels got pretty tough, especially the last one. The sense of humor and general insanity present in Ouendan is all here -- dog needs to go 400 miles to go back home, sea captain searches for sunken treasure (set to The Village People's "YMCA" for some reason), taxicab driver needs to rush a pregnant woman to the hospital, so on. There's also a more serious stage about a little girl who wants her father to come back for Christmas, set to a very nice cover of Chicago's "You're the Inspiration" ･ﾟ･(´Д⊂ヽ･ﾟ･ To get to the point, just get it already if you've got a DS, even if you did import Ouendan ;) Anyways, I know I owe y'all a good bit of blogging, so I'd like to try and get everything I wanted to cover covered a bit in the next few days and start from where we're at for the shows I haven't yet blogged, like Sasami and Asatte no Houkou (watching the BS-i broadcast since it's widescreen. 2 weeks behind TBS) and Kanon (Uguu kawaii yo Uguu!). Also liking OtoBoku a lot so I might pick that one up, then maybe a bit on all the other KNEG-type anime, like Gift (I get the feeling I've seen this before somewhere... this Da Capo or something?), Happiness! (I'm sorry, but I'm not into characters like Jun-nyan.. Sumomo instead), and Yoakena (I have to say something about that "cabbage" in ep 3) since I've been keeping up with them.

All the torrents are late today, my downloads are slow as crap, and so there will definitely be a major Friday overflow. This episode was retarded and I can’t bother to do a summary on it. (I feel like this is starting to become a pattern.) All I can say is that silver haired girl [...]

Impresisons: Hmm, Happiness…ka? Well, the last episode was pretty stupid, but this episode sort of redeemed itself with some real plot movement. Two new characters were introduced, one of them being Saya Ichigo, who I have mentioned numerous times. Why? Because her seiyuu is the same as Pumpkin Scissor’s Alice, D.Gray-man’s Linali, Asatte no Houkou’s Shouko [...]

Click on the most wonderful character ever! What a gif. Right Click it on a new tab or window or save as….. I worship whoever did it and the original source came from here Even though Happiness! episode 5 is boring due to the lack of Otoha and Jun, there is something special which I will cover. There’s…. There’s…. Tentacle sex!!!!! Haruhi [...]

You know it’s not that I’m really into traps, but when they don’t have any humor involving Jun, the episode just bores me. That and the major lack of romance between Yuuma and Haruhi, which I assume they’re probably saving for the last 3 episodes of the show. This week basically Hachi forgot his [...]

Welcome to the I.D.A aka Impzie’s Destructive Analysis. (ok, lame start) This week’s IDA include Happiness!, Ghost Hunt and Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto. Ok, this will be a new feature article that I am introducing since I am a freakishly crazy person that suddenly has limited time on his hands. For all the anime that has no [...]
