Katsucon 18 – [My wallet is in tears once again.]

So it was really that time of the year again, ANIME CONVENTION TIME! Unfortunately, various things happened and I could only go for half a day. Going was still totally worth it, though. Well my wonderful time at this year’s anime convention started out like every single one has started out so far… Waiting in [...]

Another 04-05 – Faceplanting and Heartwrenching, redefined.

Yet another two weeks brings up yet another two episodes of Another, but only this time with twice as much question-answering than the leading anime brand. Misaki Mei, Class 3-3, everything is starting to connect together and make sense, but I still can’t pinpoint whether there is a Supernatural element or not. Another is tipping [...]

Fortune Summoners: Secret of the Elemental Stone – [The forerunner of skynet.]

Let’s make this as short and as easy as possible. The less effort I have to put into this post the better. So, like I heard that Carpe Falgur had translated this game a while back so I grabbed a copy. I thought Recettear was pretty freaking hilarious, so I was like – WHY WOULDN’T [...]

Recorder to Randelsell 04 + 05 – [Beans. Lots of beans, lots of beans, lots of beans. Yeah Yeah.]

I don’t really know what Setsubun is, but if anime has tought me anything then I know that it involves people with ugly faces getting beans thown at them. Now I know that the beans might be thrown at someone so they might be inspired to get a real job. That scene made me want [...]

Inu X Boku SS 01-03 – SS stands for Stalker Service

Hello everyone! Here’s Arctic with an extremely overdue first post. I’ll be covering Inu X Boku SS this season. This show’s definitely a shoujo to me, and I’m not exactly the most shoujo-loving person. But this anime did interest me more than the rest, so well, here I am, covering a shoujo. Shoujo lovers, please [...]

Nisemonogatari 03 + 04 – [I won't forgive you. You won't forgive me. There is nothing to discuss.]

The first order of business is talking about that dead tree guy. He seems like a nice fellow, dosen’t he? The kind of person who looks like he might break a few of your fingers if you tried to shake his hand – but because he reminded Araragi of oshino right off the bat I [...]

Another 03 – Umbrella-ella-ella eh EH!? EH!!?!?

Before anything else, credits to Zabobinator from Metanorn for coming up with this hilarious and morbidly ironic title to this post. Now onto episode three of Another and the mystery of Grade 9 Class 3 continues to unfold. As always, I, Detective Star, am always on the lookout for more clues and possible allusions to [...]

Happy Birthday, Orange-sama!

On January 28th, 2011, Daifuuku’s one and only humble fruit, Orange-sama, is turning (super) seventeen year old! Thanks for all of your hard work over here at Daifuuku!, especially taking care of your protégé, Arctic, in the kitchen and whipping up some scrumptious food along with your waifu, Eri. We couldn’t have done anything without [...]

Busou Chuugakusei: Basket Army 01 – [No one cares about his show.]

Wow it really took a while for subtitles to come out for this one… despite how short it is. I guess that just shows what a bad state the fan-subbing industry is in. Under staffed and under paid. Blame it on simulcasts. I think most other languages had subs for this by the time the [...]

Recorder to Randoseru 03 – [It would have been better if he was riding a goat.]

In short. Insert punchline about height, size, and age here. The goldenrod-blonde one needs to start hitting on that 10 year old immediately. All the guys in that classroom need to get those ear infections looked at. Chu~chu train is going through the tunnel.
