Dude, where's my last Baccano! episode? · 23 November 2007

ARGH! Even the Italian fansubbers are done subbing Baccano!…!!! So, where the hell is the English fansub? Why does Ayu take three million and two years to sub an episode!? Just one last episode, one, one, one…one…. Before this post deteriorates even further into an incoherent rant, let’s actually talk about Baccano! It’s easier said […]

Woah! We're halfway there! Woah! Livin' on a prayer! · 23 November 2007

This post is brought to you by The ABC (Roxas, Mike, Kaura, CCYoshi, Martin,Hige, J.Valdez, Owen S), and no, we’re not American Born Chinese. If I learned anything from the new fall season, it’s embracing mediocrity. And, I mean it in a good way. Who said mediocrity was a bad thing? I wrote a post […]

Feel the rainbow, taste the rainbow · 16 November 2007

I still have at least three hours of backlog sitting on my computer, some major catching up to in terms of Rental Magica, Dragonaut, G00 and Night Wizard. This post isn’t anything new, rather, it’s a response, a hasty response at that. I’m actually supposed to be packing and practicing for a three day competition, […]

Moyashimon – Reasons to love cute, dancing microbes! Squee! · 6 November 2007

After what seemed like the longest time (and quite possibly the worst, the flat out worst, test-taking experience of my life) I finally crawled back to my cave of a room, clicked on those orange stripped traffic cone and went through the entirety of my backlog. I’ve been most depressingly busy, trying to balance NaNoWriMo, […]

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann OVA · 3 November 2007

I had no idea there was going to be a Gurren Lagann DS game, that motivates me more than even the release of Pokemon Diamond and Pearl to actually buy a DS. But what I’m really in it for is the OVA that comes with the game. I literally jumped when I saw the torrent […]

Rental Magica – Episode 04 · 30 October 2007

It’s been a while since my last entry, give or take a week? I’ve been lacking the will recently to write about anything. Gundam 00 came and went, Hero Tales is really starting to disappoint me and at the end of the day, I’m glad I have Rental Magica to look forward to. It’s probably […]

Dragonaut – Episode 3 · 20 October 2007

Dragonaut just got really interesting, indecently interesting. The show has a pretty weird, pretty amazing, pretty strange concept: people riding dragons. So, these Dragonaut guys are psuedo-military people riding dragons like gundams, but it’s really more like RahXephon or even Evangelion because they have this connection with their dragons. In fact, their dragons are actually […]

The 'gem' of the fall season? · 18 October 2007

It’s been a while, not a very long while, just a while. First marking period ends this Friday and it’s getting a bit harry, tests, grades, projects, parent teacher conferences and all that jazz. And, my forensics’s season started and the novices are doing better than me. That’s a problem right there. Anyways, I finally […]

Gundam 00 – The Beginning · 7 October 2007

Simply put, I’m impressed, very impressed. The animation is solid, the mecha designs look even better than the in the promos and I’m loving the cast. Every word Tieria speaks reminds me of Itoshiki, even the character design, with those glasses and that strange, purple sweater they put him in during the ending reminds me […]

Dragonaut – The Beginning · 7 October 2007

The first episode I watched of the fall season was, fortunately, rather good. I’m sure screen shots and summaries are not in short supply, so I’ll save myself the trouble. In short, Dragonaut – The Resonance is looking like the spawn of Code Geass and RahXephon armed with the tragic, orphaned hero, sunny, blue skies, […]
