Urusei Yatsura’s Lum-chan
Urusei Yatsura was a popular anime/manga series back in the days when dinosaurs and Betamax roamed the Earth (i.e. the 80s). It is a love comedy about an alien princess named Lum/Lamu. There were other miscellaneous characters but we don’t … Continue reading
VOCALOID2’s Kagamine Rin
The next girl to be featured in Crypton Future Media’s VOCALOID2 software has been revealed. (Check out my previous post if you don’t know what is VOCALOID2.) Kagamine Rin (é¡éŸ³ãƒªãƒ³) is a loli-looking character voiced by Asami Shimoda (下田麻美), yet … Continue reading
Attention Singaporean Readers!
I have a small personal request. Now, I usually keep personal stuff out of this blog ever since it stopped being a place where I recount my daily activities with great attention to insignificant details and wanton cynicism. (Those were … Continue reading
Freedom to Think
Shingo over at Heisei Democracy has put up a detailed time line of the recent anime-related controversies that are causing niche doujinshi artists to come under fire from mainstream Japanese media. It’s a rather disturbing development which mirrors that of … Continue reading
Gundam 00 — Episode 6
I have EJU tomorrow morning so I’m going to make this quick, hopefully. Gah, curse man’s need to sleep. Gundam 00 episode 6 introduces the European nation of Moralia, new equipments for Gundam Dynames and Exia and a new foe.
Real Yakitate! Ja-pan
Some delivery guy just visited my house to bring me a mysterious package. I was not expecting any parcels since none of my preorders are due for release yet, so it was quite a surprise. What I found inside was … Continue reading
The most awesome YouTube video ever
It’s official. This whole YouTube experiment is over, guys. The most awesome video ever has already been made. The rest of us can just pack up and find something better to do now. Excerpts from 33 songs sang by 14 … Continue reading
Why save dolphins?
I love dolphins as much as the next guy, but I really don’t see why they deserve the special attention that the feel-good self-proclaimed activists like to give them. Red Alert 2 nostalgia I am sure you have all heard … Continue reading
Gundam 00 — Episode 7
This whole episode was bullshit. HD bullshit with pretty beam weapons and better animation than episode 6, but still bullshit. Anyway, the final line by Amuro Ray the narrator did manage to catch my attention for about five seconds. Which … Continue reading
Odex goes International!
UPDATE 20/11/2007: I have confirmations from an Odex employee that the whole thing was a mistake made by BayTSP. LOL. Show’s over, guys. Expect damage control to kick in soon. UPDATE AGAIN: It seems that I wasn’t too clear. I … Continue reading
Japan Fingerprinting Commences
Japan’s new amended immigration laws (改æ£å…¥ç®¡æ³•) kicked in today, making it the second country in the world after USA to implement a compulsory fingerprinting system for foreign visitors. Image shamelessly stolen from Stippy.com This is a particularly unpleasant development in … Continue reading
Odex has been hacked!
UPDATE 22/11/2007: Ops, it seems that the DNS wasn’t the one that’s compromised. The page wasn’t working for some people so I assumed it was due to slow DNS propagation, but apparently Odex has always been hosted on PacNet (ironic). … Continue reading
