Not a good idea...

If you are an emotional drunk, don't watch Godannar when you are! Especially episode 12!!

I'm just saying...

It's good to be the gecko!!!

Why did I come by this image? i was looking for Ayumi Hamasaki videos of course! Why is it related to anime (besides having my namesake in the pic)? Ayumi Hamasaki did some anime theme songs and is (IMHO) a diva of the J-Pop scene!! Check her out!

Finished Eureka Seven...

It was quite good. Some of the angst was over the top, and a bit of the story was hard to follow but it cleaned up nicely almost to the point of closure...

You really should check it out...

Eureka Seven - I rated it Excellent on ANN.

My favorite...

I never thought I would actually ever pick a favorite anime/manga character, but I can without a doubt now say that Ogiue-san from Genshiken is my all time favorite. I mean I really feel for her. I've read all the Genshiken manga that's been released in the states, own the first season of Genshiken (although she only appeared in the ending theme scene, i thought I'd mention it) , and have seen the first two new OVAs. I've never felt for a character this much before. What is it? Is it her Tsudere-ness that gets to me? I just don't know; I just know she's my favorite...

Whoa, where does the time go!

I've been too busy watching anime to update this blog, although I have alot to say. Perhaps I feel I need more confidence in writing? Probably.

Well, I have updated my latest desktop and cellphone images on the sidebar...

Ouran High Scholl Host Club!

I was determined to finish Ouran High School Host Club since I had all the eps and it was well worth the effort, especially since it played on my DiVX DVD player! Most of the time anime is better viewed on a bigger screen than my laptop!

It's about a high school club at an ultra-rich school where male students entertain female students for fun and profit. Except the newest member is an exceptional but somewhat clumsy female who has little money but got enrolled somehow, only to break a vase in the clubs mysterious location, the third music room. This gets her sequestered to the club to be an imitation boy until her debt is paid off.

This show deftly uses alot of site gags and background effects you normally see in shoujo manga. The comedy and story line are constant throughout the entire series and the animation is top-notch. I rated this show a Masterpiece on ANN and it really does deserve it!

So much anime, so little time!

I've been trying to catch up with what I still have to watch, then another slue of shows pops out!!

I'm currently catching fansubs of the following, the most of which look promising...

Lucky Star - general mayhem revolving around an otaku girl and her friends...

Claymore - a half-demon demon hunter takes in an orphaned boy and struggles with her human side while...well, just doing her job...

Ikki Tousen Dragon Destiny - The battle continues with competing high schools out to rule the Kanto plain...with increased fanservice an extra!

Nagasarete Airantou - a runaway stows aboard a ship and is lost at sea, until he is rescued by a girl and is stuck on an island populated only by women. Sound like a dream come true? Not if they are all out to get you for themselves and they happen to be ninjas! This guy is getting far more pain than pleasure, I'm sure...

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann - a boy stuck in an underground village makes an amazing discovery...let the mayhem ensue!

Other new shows which I haven't finished giving the three ep test to yet are, Bokurano, Darker than Black, Hayate no Gotoku!, Hitohira, IdolMaster Xenoglossia, Juusoukikou Dancouga Nova, Toward the Terra, Romeo X Juliet, Lovely Complex, Reideen, Moonlight Mile, Koutetsu Sangokushi, Shining Tears X Wind, Monster Princess, Murder Princess, Kishin Taisen Gigantic Formula, Rocket Girls, and Touka Gettan.

This of course is all new to add to the bunch of others I have to watch!

So you can see I have alot of catching up to do...

Happy Easter!!!!

Anytime now!

I'm almost through with that troublesome older blog profile.

Meanwhile I've updated my Top Ten I'm Watching, so check it out!

Tears of joy...

I just finished watching Asatte no Houkou and it was one of the best shows I have seen about everyday things like family, friends, and love. put forth in such an unconventional way!

I have to admit it was definately a tear jerker outing for me. I suppose it comes from loosing so much in life. It is a wonderful story. I rated it excellent on ANN and hope you can check it out as well.
