Surprise! I bet you totally didn’t expect me to blog Code Geass, especially considering that awful parody video I made which should best be left to rot in the depths of hell, my MySpace account and the fact that I used to own code-geass.com. That said, the fact that I’m a huge Kallen fanboy has absolutely [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
The first episode of the new Mai-Otome OVA series is pretty darn good. Sunrise has got this whole drama-comedy hybrid formula perfected.
I had quite a bit of reservation about this series… It’s bad enough that they made the latest entry in the awesome TokiMemo series of dating sims an online multiplayer game (wtf I know), but now they even made an anime based on the MMO? It just sounded like one huge game advertisement… After watching the [...]
NHK is about a guy who is a NEET (Not in Employment, Education, Training) and a hikikomori (someone who doesn’t go out of his house), who is subsequently turned into an otaku and a lolicon by his ex-schoolmate. You can’t go any lower than that. He believes that NHK (nihon hikikomori kyoukai) is a secret [...]
Take Maria-sama ga Miteru and up the yuri factor by 1000 times. That is what Strawberry Panic is about. Basically, Nagisa Aoi transfers to this all-girls catholic school that is collocated with two other affliated all-girls school and all three schools are full of sexually-confused nubile young girls. She meets Shizuma Hanazono, the etoile (french [...]
Hurray for spring! This season will rock, starting with the second season of School Rumble! The first episode starts from the roughly volume 8 of the manga. It manages quite well to be different from the manga and yet not differ much. You can recognize almost all the jokes from the manga, but the execution [...]
I just finished translating episode two for Conclave and episode one is rumoured to be being encoded right now. Sorry for taking forever… Since it’s going to be released soon (really), I’ve decided to blog about the first episode (a few weeks late). But anyway, Gunparade Orchestra is based on the PS2 game by the same [...]
