Remember the 2ch hit flash animation with the spinning leek? An indie Finnish song that achieved Internet fame thanks to a fateful fusion of Japanese otaku culture, Macromedia and Bleach, Ievan Polkka lives again! Hatsune Miku Well, I’m in love with the song all over again thanks to this YouTube video and a crazy piece [...]
Everyone enjoys a spot of non-authentic afternoon tea in Cure Maid Cafe or Mai:lish, but apparently letting pretty girls serve you hot beverages is simply not good enough for the fujoshi in Japan. They want cute boys instead. The nerve. In order to fill this market demand, some consulting firm decided to open a “Boys’ [...]
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 [...]
Or why I think it’s silly to harp on the past. So, I was just minding my own business and hopping cheerily around a scenic garden with a group of bunny rabbits and frolicking deer, when “BAM!”, wildarmsheero launched a huge flaming fireball in my direction like one of those Undead Mages I had to [...]
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 [...]
The next girl to be featured in Crypton Future Media’s VOCALOID2 software has been revealed. (Check out my previous post if you don’t know what is VOCALOID2.) Kagamine Rin (鏡音リン) is a loli-looking character voiced by Asami Shimoda (下田麻美), yet another semi-obscure seiyuu who has very few titles under her name. She is most well-known [...]
I have a small personal request. Now, I usually keep personal stuff out of this blog ever since it stopped being a place where I recount my daily activities with great attention to insignificant details and wanton cynicism. (Those were the days.) But I decided that since I have a decent local readership, it won’t [...]
Shingo over at Heisei Democracy has put up a detailed time line of the recent anime-related controversies that are causing niche doujinshi artists to come under fire from mainstream Japanese media. It’s a rather disturbing development which mirrors that of the demonization of video gaming in conservative American media. While we all had a good [...]
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.
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 [...]
It’s official. This whole YouTube experiment is over, guys. The most awesome video ever has already been made. The rest of us can just pack up and find something better to do now. Excerpts from 33 songs sang by 14 people and Hatsune Miku mixed into 10 minutes of back to back pure concentrated awesomeness. [...]
I love dolphins as much as the next guy, but I really don’t see why they deserve the special attention that the feel-good self-proclaimed activists like to give them. Red Alert 2 nostalgia I am sure you have all heard of Hayden Panettiere‘s (Claire Bennett in Heroes) recent involvement in an attempt to disrupt a [...]
