Sorry for not posting anything for so long… My only excuse is, well, laziness. I was going to write this last night, but I was too busy watching British telly and Food Network.
Anime
OK, I haven’t really been watching much lately, except the stuff that comes on Adult Swim on Saturday nights. All I [...]

It was a few days ago now, but I will try to recall the events of Fanime. Where to begin? I’ll start with Saturday, since I didn’t go on Friday.
Saturday May 24
I took the train to San Jose that day. From the train station we (me and wiggy1770) walked to the convention center. When we [...]
5 Things About Tsubasa That Make Me Hissy
Posted in Manga, tagged CLAMP, Del Rey, Tsubasa on February 24, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Volume 16 of Tsubasa was released not too long ago, and, with it, came some major plot twists. You probably shouldn’t read ahead if you don’t want TSUBASA SPOILERS.
Anyway, some of these twists made me go “What the hell?!” Plot twists are dropping out of the sky like bird droppings! For good or [...]
Shakugan no Shana

A couple of weeks ago, I bought the novel, Shakugan no Shana, for a completely idiotic reason. I knew it was a stupid reason, but I bought it anyway. The reason was this: the author, Yashichiro Takahashi, is friends with Hiromu Arakawa (manga-ka behind Fullmetal Alchemist.) But anyway, unlike most [...]
L Fragrance

I recently saw a particularly weird/hilarious commercial on the tube. Apparently, L is now a fragrance. Seriously. Gwen Stefani’s new fragrance is not only called L, but also boasts the same font as our favorite detective’s logo. The Gothic-esque font does not fit the fragrance, though, as it’s supposed to be pretty floral. There’s no [...]
Rant on Flipping

I was flipping through an issue of Wired recently when I saw a letter in response to their article on manga in November’s issue. I can’t find the issue now, but the person was basically talking about how much he hates unflipped manga, and how some people just can’t adjust. This is just silly. The [...]

Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE volume 1
After having read all the Tsubasa manga released thus far, I finally got around to buying the DVD. I’d already watched the first 30 or so episodes in Japanese, and I hadn’t been too impressed. It’s a solid show, just not as good as the manga. Anyway, I watched it in [...]
