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 bread. Nine pieces of bread… It’s not everyday that I receive home deliveries full of nothing [...]
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.
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 talk about them any more because records of them have been long lost in the passage [...]
I don’t really like episode 5. It has zero politics and way too much Louise. Oh my god, what an annoying girl. “I have no fashion sense.” The episode does reveal a few things which I will talk about… But mostly it’s predictable fluff. And the next episode looks like Exia-pwnage galore… Sigh, where’s my politics? :(
Dear Genshiken 2, I’m sorry I said all those mean things to you. I thought you lost your way, but after watching episode 2 and 3, I realized that you were just holding back your true powers in order to give us a pleasant surprise. I hope you will find it in your heart to forgive [...]
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 [...]
