| 7:18am | Top Picks – Spring 2009 Anime, Part 3: VMA Awards | | | | The final set of awards before going to my top shows of the season cover the music, vocal actors, and animation aspects of this season’s anime. Or the three parts to anime that are heavily dependent on the preferences of the individual viewer. The reason I put these awards third is that in the... | | |
| 2:26pm | NYAFF Double Feature - Being a Man and Loving ‘em Too! |  | | | The New York Asian Film Festival is in town this month, and for the first time ever, this blogger is taking the train into the city and catching some of the action for himself. For the next few weeks, I’ll be posting up some reviews and features from the events taking place at the IFC Center and... | | |
| 2:54pm | Umineko no Naku Koro Ni, Episode 1-1: Opening | | | | The time has finally come for Umineko. Pretty much like the other series I have blogged in the past, the summary will be in black while my comments will be colored in blue. As a VN player and leader of the translation group of the said VN, you can certainly expect few comparisons and the like: I will... | | |
| 1:10pm | Summer series 2009 Preview ~ Hope no seagulls are crying | | | | With the Spring season ending in a blink of an eye, we are once again back in the summer period and thus brings us a new batch of series to watch. Surprisingly, compared to last year there isn’t that many titles coming out this season (which is a blessing to some*points to self) with 18 titles... | | |
| 10:48pm | Swimsuits – The meaning of summertime? | | | | Well, we’re well into summer here in the UK – it’s the tradition here to have an uncharacteristically warm spell in June, which gets all the nice hours of sunshine out of the way to make way for business as usual during July and August (if the recent years are anything to go by…) And what... | | |
| 11:31pm | Top Picks – Spring 2009 Anime, Part 2: Genre and Misfit Awards | | | | As I’m writing this, I’m half-surprised to see no one mention a certain show not getting any awards and I’d be even more surprised after this part so I figured I should mention it’s lack of showing. The show in question is the Full Metal Alchemist remake. The reason why it hasn’t shown up... | | |
| 2:08pm | June Summary | | | | The interesting thing with this month is that yet again I had no clear favourites. There’s a bunch of shows that I really like, but there’s not been a series for me that really stood above the others this month. I think that because of this, the series that ended up as my number one position... | | |
| 3:34am | Top Picks – Spring 2009 Anime, Part 1: Cast and Character Awards | | | | With the spring season winding down, it’s time to look back and reflect upon the great moments of the season.Back at the beginning, I thought this was going to be a very weak overall season with only a few noteworthy series but it turned out to be a much stronger season. To help reach that point it... | | |
| 3:11am | So a butler, a seleção, and a data entity walk into a blog post | | | | And the owner of of the blog says, “What the hell kind of introductory paragraph am I supposed to make from this?” Sadly enough, I haven’t been popular enough to have any rumors of my blogging death to greatly exaggerate (in the Mark Twain fashion) – perhaps this is due to the... | | |
| 12:52am | Genius Party | | | | Japan has a lot of good talent working in animation. Most people just don't know it, because without knowing what you're looking for, it's hard to locate the good work amongst the flood of productions released every year. In Japan, as anywhere, the nature of this talent is multifaceted. The focus of... | | |
| 12:12pm | I Endorse Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen | | | | Yes, and I’m one of those that fought to watch it at the first day!This is one of those movies that actually make you OBLIGATED to watch it. Yes, the first movies was stupendous, and fantastic in every angle, but this one, it says “fuck you, watch me” right in your face. And probably... | | |
| 12:30pm | Blood the Last Vampire in Cinemas June 26th | | | | Well it seems that Hollywood Live action Adaptations of well reknowned Anime titles is becoming more commonplace these days, personaly I wish they’d stop trying to improve on perfection.
