Seeing how Impz’s post made him sound like he had cancer (to ease the pain of not being able to finish the Spring season he wanted to spend his last days writing editorials), I wanted to make a post painting him as a tragic victim, torn between his desire to live and his desire [...]
I’d watched till episode 13 last September, by which point Triad decided to take three months to work on episode 14, which made me decide to wait till they’d finished subbing all of it. It was then licensed around March or April, which set me off searching for the remaining 5 episodes, and as the [...]
Just a short update on blog-related matters, feel free to skip this if you can’t be bothered. No, the title isn’t a reference to Evangelion, it’s actually Hideaki Anno referencing Pippa Passes, all two lines of it.
My first ever Manga post is about lolicon. Awesome.
This is in response to a recent Mr Answerman column (scroll down) where Zac Bertschy, the writer, basically goes off on a tangent about Kodomo no Jikan because of the presumably pseudo-paedophile vibes the manga gives off which his perfectly normal, non-fetishist heterosexual nature can’t endorse. Nevermind [...]
I forgot to comment on Claymore 06’s shounen character development (those two terms in the same sentence, wow), when it aired, so here’s a little something to make up for it. No, that wasn’t taken out of context at all, I don’t know what you’re talking about, really.
years after Claymore is dead and buried under [...]
Through the combined powers of WWWJDIC, Google Translate, rikaichan, and limited Japanese syntax knowledge, I summon you, makeshift translation! ZUN updated his blog again with three more screenshots of Touhou 10, and substantial news regarding the demo (or what I can make of it).
I assume no responsibility for any misunderstandings or rumours that might stem [...]
Go on, tell me. Between the lack of coverage and no one making enough noise about it this would be the most underrated and overlooked mecha of the season, if you ask me. If Bokuranos the sullen, brooding adolescent with black eyeliner and a bad hairdo, and Lucky Star Idolmaster Xenoglossias the annoying sister on [...]
Ninja edit for bj0rn, who doesn’t want me mentioning where I got this news from someone who doesn’t want tobe mentioned either,since he won’t stop whining in the comments, jeez. Since I’m not under the rule of 1984- I mean, Singapore, I’m mirroring the list of anime that’s licensed, which they apparently don’t want you [...]
The latest reply to sethjohnson is one of the longest yet.
“I musn’t run away! I musn’t run away!”
Also, if any of you are interested in more debate, expect late replies. Sorry bettynoire, I had quite a bit to say about what you did but sethjohnson’s comment piqued my interest more, and all the words have [...]
I’ve always loved Honey & Clover for being emotionally honest. The concept of the term “emotional honesty”, if it doesn’t exist in some capacity out there already, would be defined as the ability of the viewer to connect with the range of emotions portrayed by the character(s) on-screen — due to how the emotions portrayed [...]
and it wasn’t a comfortable thought. Let me clear possible misconceptions and state hard facts first: It wasn’t a h-doujin, just like all my Touhou doujins are. It was Reimu x Marisa, which obviously wasn’t yaoi. The author was Aki Eda — one of my favourites and a damn good artist — and it was [...]
Phew, what a ride. 30 days, 24 posts, and 141 comments later (1/3rd of those mine), I don’t feel as tired as I think I should be, to say nothing of how I’ve barely scratched the surface of what I’ve been planning on writing since the conception of this blog. But I’m not complaining. Also [...]
Since Cruel Angel Theses’ one month anniversary is but two days away, I thought I’d take a quick recap on the posts I do and come up with some insight as to how or why I say the things I do, be it critique, reviews, or opinions — also, studying has been tiring (insert Konata [...]
About the title. This is to save some of you the effort of reading through this: there isn’t any, at least not with respects to Code Geass — if you’re one of those who think it is, excuse me while I pause to laugh and make fun of your crap anime that you think is [...]
That’s right, ZUN updated his blog with relevant news at last. This is a translation by Aelya from this thread. Italicised comments in brackets [ ] aren’t mine, obviously. Via Maidens of the Kaleidoscope, who are finally back after their long downtime.
The 10th Touhou series game [Touhou Fuujinroku ~ Mountain of Faith] [Thanks to Solamarle [...]
So I’ve been stuck with watching Code Geass since yesterday morning. After the first episode I was totally convinced that this was Gundam + Death Note, and while I’m struck aghast by how much awesome is concentrated in every episode, I also regret not watching this during its run. Not that you’ll find me complaining [...]
