Went to McDonalds today with my friend and we decided to order some pies from the dollar menu. Normally they ask if you’d like either Apple or Cherry pies. Today they had this special Asian Pie, now being how we were quite inquisitive today we decided to order some. But they didn’t seem to be a [...]

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann doesn’t have anything extra special about it. We have a young boy who is influenced by his older male friend to become awesome one day and do whatever he wants; a strong female character with a ridiculously large gun and very small bikini; an obnoxiously weak love interest female character; [...]

Needed more…lulz. * Special A - Good for a few laughs. [...]

Hmm… seems like it’s been a while since the last His & Her Review doesn’t it?  A few months actually.  So why did it take us so long to do another his & her review? Well it’s really because Asuna & Kira are lazy… hey, don’t judge. One of the 7 is missing from this [...]

I’ll be honest with ya, after watching ep2, I started to doubt the value of one. However, no, I”m not stupid and I’ve seen enough anime to know that someone probably survived from the slaughter of Special Agent Team 4. At least that’s what it looks like to me. Or it’s just the tunnel for zombies [...]

I mentioned in my previous post about this great young seiyuu that people say she has "nice legs" but that I couldn't find a photo that showed it. Today a new photo was posted on 2channel that somewhat gets the point across (click to enlarge to 1090x1600) :The first post in reply was: "nice leg" (in English).A later post also struck my eye:"Tomatsu:has no interest in anime or mangaher voice is too characteristic and there is nothing special about her actingshe's not that cuteher voice isn't cuteShe really has none of the elements that would make her a saleable seiyuu. Why did she become a seiyuu, lol?"My answers: Who cares what her interests are if she can do the job? Her voice is pretty recognizable, but that doesn't affect her acting skill. She's cute enough. I don't like the basic quality of her voice, either, but the way she uses it in Kannagi is amazing.I can only imagine that the 2channel poster hasn't watched Kannagi yet. I'm about to see episode 2 and will report back later.
