| 11:20pm | Starting in the middle |  | | | Steven began to watch Ranma 1/2 from the Season 2, and it sure looked like fun. Now he’s buying Season 1 and 3. This reminds me how I started watching Naruto from ep.32: it was awesome out of this world. And the next episode was known as Sakura Blossoms in English. Yesterday Avatar said on #animedvd... | | |
| 4:28pm | Kaiba | | | | I've been totally out of it lately in terms of animation, but I'll be awakening from my slumber quite soon, as Masaaki Yuasa's latest TV series at Madhouse, Kaiba, is going to be starting two weeks from today, airing on WOWOW. Hopefully I'll get to see it. If I do, maybe I'll be driven to blog the show.... | | |
| 7:15am | Impressions: Code Geass, VOTOMS, Master Keaton, Kaiji and Dennou Coil | | | | Sorry that I haven't posted for a week, but I had a bad case of real life and not a whole lot to say. Well except for the whole ADV announcement. And all I can say is finally… but still no word on Kurau. And I just shelled out to buy the first three disks. And no word on Welcome to the NHK either.... | | |
| 8:07am | And The Annies Go Too…. | | | | So the Oscar’s aired last.Sunday was it? I wasn’t really paying attention as the Oscar’s tend to come and go these days with little of the glitz and glamour they had become infamous for (and you know what, thank god for that). Meanwhile, another less well known awards ceremony... | | |
| 8:00pm | gainax anime wins tokyo anime fair’s 2007 award | | | | If I told you that a Gainax series won Tokyo Anime Fair’s 2007 Best Animation award, you probably would have believed me, right? Damn right. The Evangelion remake won Best Animation. Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann and Dennou Coil split for Best TV Animation. Other winners: Death Note for Voice... | | |
| 9:56pm | Spice and Wolf: halfway thoughts | | | | Is it just me or is the whole economics thing playing second fiddle to the Lawrence/Horo dynamic? Not that I’m complaining about the latter of course - placing characterisation over subplots is always a good thing - but the business about the valued and devalued silver seemed full of plot holes... | | |
| 8:51pm | Fate/stay Night midway | | | | I continue to find myself inexplicably enjoying Fate/stay Night, although it would be difficult to explain why. The anime itself is nothing special. It’s drawn well, the girls are spectacular, but Emiya’s eyes bludgeon every frame where they appear. Plot, artificial. Characters Rin is engaging,... | | |
| 5:31am | Dennou Coil: Just How “Real” Is Virtual Reality? | | | | The title of the post is, of course, the major theme of the last eight or so episodes of Dennou Coil, which I have just blasted through at mach speed (homework be damned). These episodes featured the death of Densuke, the finest pet who never lived, and Yasako’s torn feelings over losing what... | | |
| 5:51am | Quick, Numerologists! Look up 4423! | | | | Way, way, way, way, way, way, way behind on Dennou Coil, I know, but I’m trying to see if I can’t finally find the time to finish this series this week. It’s looking good so far! I’ve just seen episode 16, the last of four episodes I’ve seen today, and I’m reminded... | | |
| 6:03pm | Slow starts | | | | Looking at my solitary v.1 of PlaneteS, I should feel vindicated and gloat after Steven’s difficulties with the title. But I remember a few other shows with the same defect, some of which I liked. The pinnacle of Gundam — 08th MS Team — takes 6 episodes to start. Even the most excellent... | | |
| 11:47pm | Yajima Akiko -- 150+ Seiyuu Roles | | | | Yajima Akiko's 矢島晶子 voice as Shinnosuke in Crayon Shin-chan is the most recognized voice in all Japanese anime. Everyone knows Shinnosuke's rough comic bleating.But Yajima-san also has one of the least recognizable voices. She does roles from young women and boys through adult women even to animals.I... | | |
| 9:28pm | New Season’s Haul - KimiAru, H20 and other anime malarkey | | | | | End of Dennou Coil - ~BIG SPOILERS ALERTZ~ Hi readers, I know it’s been a long time since I last posted, but unfortunately time has mostly been spent revising, then panicking about not revising enough and so really haven’t had the brain processing power necessary to do something as complex... | | |
| 3:58am | More CDs to listen to! | | | | After (not) much waiting, my latest shipment from CD Japan has finally arrived!Over the Christmas holidays I accumulated four 500 yen coupons due to CD Japan’s holiday promotion, and this shipment of 3 singles clears my 3rd one ^^From left to right: Kaze Sagashi (Sketchbook ~full colors~ OP),... | | |
