Comiket 75 – Loot
Useless pieces of paper and plastic I’m finally back in Singapore. It’s really hot even in my air-conditioned room. Gah. But anyway, here’s my damage report for Comiket 75. I didn’t buy much. Really.

Japan Trip 2008 – Damage Report
Man, my drawers are dirty In addition to my Comiket 75 shopping spree, I also contributed diligently to the wider economy of Japan in numerous ways, no doubt single-handedly helping the island nation escape the brunt of the on-going global … Continue reading
Tower of Druaga
Tower of Druaga is like that ugly girl with the glasses whom you have never actually met in real life, and when you finally do meet her, you realize that she’s in fact very attractive and doesn’t actually wear glasses. … Continue reading
Change Is Coming

Eureka Seven
And so I continue my way. Life is once again settling into a comforting rhythm, though deep in my heart I sometimes wish for a beautiful girl to descend from heaven and take me to her world with her giant … Continue reading

I have not read a single anime-related RSS feed in months, but judging by a casual sampling of my Windows Live Messenger contact list, K-On! appears to be the hottest thing in town since the last Kyo-ani series, which really … Continue reading
RahXephon
Here’s another ancient artefact unearthed during my idle excavation of anime past. RahXephon is an original anime series from the long-gone era of 2002, back when George W Bush ruled the free world with an iron fist and people thought … Continue reading
Tytania — Space Opera Lite
Tytania is a show that gives high expectations and fails to live up to them. It has so much potential for greatness but ends up squandering them faster than a glue-sniffing MIT grad. If Yoshiki Tanaka, the author of the … Continue reading
Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu 2 — Episode 01: Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody
