Uh, what? Okay, so Kadokawa USA decided to skip the pre-license tease and get straight to the announcement this time. The R1 release of Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu Vol.4 contained a short translated clip from Lucky Star episode 16. I haven’t received my Haruhi Vol.4 DVD yet, so I don’t know if there’s anything else in [...]
I just love Gundam 00 episode 4. It’s highly politically charged and it has all the girls the series has to offer in one convenient 24-minutes package. What more can one ask for? “The only thing I contribute to this organization is my cuteness.” I just wonder how big Liuming’s wardrobe is. She seems to be wearing [...]
I was quite alarmed by a comment posted by tsuki_Yomi in my previous entry. His understanding of the relationship between Ptolemaios and Gundams in Gundam 00 appears to be the complete opposite of what episode 3 revealed. I decided that some fansub group must have done everyone a huge disfavour and since Nyoro~n is the [...]
Episode 3 just aired in Japan about four hours ago. It mainly focuses on plot development and background information, so there isn’t much fighting going on, despite what the end of episode 2 might have led you to believe. Still, I find it to be quite an interesting episode that reveals yet more tenderizing politics from [...]
Disclaimer: I work for Mendoi-Conclave. In fact, I translated episode 2 of Gundam 00 due to circumstances (although I won’t be doing main translation for future episodes). Anyway, here are two screenshots. The top on is from episode 2’s raw while the bottom one is from our awesomerific (I’m using this word a lot recently) 1280×720 [...]
As expected, the series is very heavily influenced than contemporary military and political events. (Although it’s kind of doubtful that the political situation will remain so consistent for the next three hundred years when you consider how much has changed in the last three hundred.) It’s like when you watch Lucky Star and go “ZOMG COOL” [...]
Genshiken is a manga series about an anime/manga/game club in a Japanese university. The title is short for gendai shikaku bunka kenkyuukai, or “The Society for the Study of Modern Visual Culture”. Basically it’s an excuse for a bunch of otaku and fujoshi to have a room to hang out after school and make funny [...]
Prism Ark (aka Prism Hearts II) is a 2006 SRPG/ADV game from Pajamas Soft. The heroine, Priecia, is the daughter of the main characters from the original Prism Heart. She’s voiced by Yui Sakakibara, aka Haruhi from Happiness!. The general premise of the game is turn-based strategy role-playing etc, and I sort of recall the game [...]
It’s the new Gundam series that’s not SEED! Gundam 00 looks like it’s missing a 7 and I still can’t figure out what it’s supposed to mean. It does look kind of weird and funny if you abbreviate the title to “G00“, so I shall refer to it as such for the rest of this [...]
I just caught the first episode of Da Capo II and, as a long-time fan of the game and the franchise in general, I must say, “WTF!?” The whole episode is just one huge blasphemy. But if you have never heard of the series before or if, heaven forbids, you are a Koko fan, then it’s [...]
With the fall of Geneon USA’s DVD sales department, are we looking at the beginning of the doom of all anime as we know it? Some people seem to think so. After all, Geneon is well-liked by fans and its releases receive positive reviews from most, there seems to be no reason why they should [...]
Oh yes she is. Apparently it’s a sample of some content that Bandai is planning for Suzumiya Haruhi no Yakusoku’s (the PSP game) homepage. It’s hard to do nice-looking cel-shaded 3D models and I think this one is pretty damn good. It uses MotionPortrait technology from a company by the same name. (I guess they don’t [...]
