On the 11th day of Christmas my true love gave to me…

11 Knightmares skating

Code Geass makes me giddy.

Not Gurren Lagann “pierce the heavens with your drill!” giddy… more like, “Oh no that mecha so did not just figure skate over the hill and then do a triple salchow to dodge incoming fire!” giddy. Read the rest of this entry »

I wish the upcoming Oryzae-tan plushies would be released in time to make stocking stuffers out of them. Then I could cosplay as Sawaki by bleaching my hair and duct taping them to be hanging all over me. Read the rest of this entry »

Without a doubt, Light-o’s greatest failing was not his megalomania, nor his arrogance, nor his hasty early mistakes, nor the way he callously used his own father’s life, nor even his pitiful end.

No, his failing was being so caught up in his “NO I AM JUSTICE” killing crusade that he passed up a free Misa-Misa buffet. And just look where that kind of attitude landed him.

Don’t worry, I won’t make the same mistake. Misa-Misa is definitely on my Christmas wish list.

Come on, let’s twist again!

Because whatever the guys who make Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei are high on, I want some of that for Christmas. Also I want season 2 of the twisted tales of Pink Supervisor and his motley harem of crazy broken girls. Read the rest of this entry »

If only I could invent my own sound effects as easily as Fukumoto, the author of the enigmatic Kaiji and Akagi manga. The Japanese really love their onomatopoeia, but as I explained in our initial review of Kaiji, Fukumoto goes the extra mile beyond even that to create his own unique style, both in art and storytelling.

Perhaps that’s why I enjoy Kaiji and Akagi so much - they’re refreshingly different from everything else out there right now, especially with the recent flood of moe pandering shows and sappy harem comedies. I mean, Fukumoto hardly ever even has female characters in his stories, let alone fanservice. Although given his art style, I don’t know that I’d necessarily want to see that anyway! O_O

The fifth day is always the part of the song filled with the most gusto and over-the-top theatrics; people who up until that point had been otherwise minding their own business will come over just to sing that one line.

So of course there’s only one show that can appropriately fill such a role…

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Piercing the heavens with its drill since ever. Read the rest of this entry »
