Oh my god! It’s finally here! The Holy Grail! The first song that Maaya and her former mentor Yoko Kanno have worked together on in almost half a decade! Triangler is the first opening song for Macross Frontier. Lyrics translation and fanboying after the break.
Due to some strange twist of fate, I now have in my possession an 8GB iPod touch. (Basically a gimped iPhone without the Phone.) It’s a very, very awesome piece of technology, and yet it suffers from the same glaring flaws that all Apple products are forever destined to bear, at least as long as Steve [...]
Hey guys, it’s time for some hilarious screencaps from yet another quality production from our good friends at TMA! In case you haven’t heard of them before, TMA is a company that likes to create live-action AV based on popular anime titles, such as Suzumiya “Hahiru”. Their latest work is Kira Star (きら☆すた), an oh-so-clever word play [...]
For Screening Purposes Only Big Dreams Little Tokyo (IMDb entry) is one of those movies that seek to explore the meaning of culture in today’s globalizing world that serves as a melting pot of ethnic identities. It has been making its way around various independent film festivals and has received many positive reviews. Two weeks ago, [...]
School Days is a 2005 AVG from Overflow that featured fully voiced and animated gameplay. Thanks partly to its infamous blood-soaked “bad ends”, the game achieve cult status in otakudom and can be said to be the first and, thus far, only hit for the obscure studio. A sequel starring Setsuna Kiyoura, the most popular [...]
Many people have been accusing me of giving up on 2D (nijigen) and moving on to 3D (sanjigen). Well that is just not true. There’s no reason why you can’t like both. Anyway, I’ve been watching Liar Game, a live action adaptation of the semi-popular somewhat-obscure manga series by the same name. It’s a highly-flawed show [...]
I took these pictures ages ago but didn’t do anything with them except to dump them in my gallery. Here’s a full review of the nice Haruhi recast I bought from e2046 for a even nicer price tag of 120 USD.
Really? Really! (henceforth abbreviated to RiaRia) is the third game in the Shuffle! series. Tick! Tack! was the continuation of Nerine’s ending from Shuffle! and this time RiaRia continues from that annoying girl Kaede’s ending. ICHIGO PANTSU RABU! Of course that’s all a huge lie and the game is really about Asa-senpai and how hawt she looks [...]
Still remember that live action Haruhi porn video? Well, it’s out. It ain’t pretty, but it sure is hilarious. It even has all the important memorable lines from the original! 涼宮ハヒルの憂鬱 (suzumiya hahiru no yuuutsu) 香坂百合 (Yuri Kousaka) as Hahiru. Click on for more screenshots. Mostly safe for work, I think.
The first episode of the new Mai-Otome OVA series is pretty darn good. Sunrise has got this whole drama-comedy hybrid formula perfected.
After various delays and a slow start, I finally finished the true ending of Yoake Mae yori Ruri-iro na ~Brighter than dawning blue~. I have to say, you need a lot of patience to reach the good parts of the game, because the first half of it is only slightly more interesting than watching [...]
Zero no Tsukaima is an original light novel series by Noboru Yamaguchi published under MF文庫 (Media Factory bunko). The first novel took me about three days to finish. For comparison, it took me a few weeks of half-hearted reading to complete Suzumiya Haruhi no Tameiki. Either Zero was that good or Tameiki really really sucked. Anyway, [...]
