1. TV in my Naruto?!

    Moero Amazon has a tiny item about Shipuuden 98, with a screencap that includes a consumer TV:

    This is bound to raise more questions about the lack of cellphone service in Konoha.

    BTW, the sign appears to say that 2011/7/24 is the end of analog broadcast, if I …

  2. Evirus' winter rejects

    Since I'm not watching anything [1], I cannot criticize the critique, but the list at Karmaburn seems pretty sensible to me. I don't deny a glee at the failure of Maria+holic. Too bad for Sorakake, I had hopes for that.

    [1] It's an official lie. I continue to see …

    In game.

    The raise of artificial entertainment characters is an idea so obvious that even Hollywood took a stab at it (fortunately, I forgot the title of that movie). However, why stop at what already is? Enhance the entertainers! This actually happens today, just look at Miku's impossible hair. I'm pretty sure …

  4. The universal appeal

    Using the sparkling new 500GB Samba share on the home network, Ana-sempai watched my fansubs of Sekirei... and liked it. Apparently the appeal was that all characters were sympathetic, including Minato. We had a vigorous discussion in MacDonald's about various harem leads. Where SDB places the line at "gets the …

  5. I've seen the future

    It's positively impossible to stay dead when things like this video are happening (I was just browsing lolcats videos and it was suggested...).

    With a long history of giving it a chance, I came to detest the 3D anime and 3D in anime indiscriminately. If 3D is inserted, it invariably …

    UPDATE: According to Webster, a tautology is a repetition of the same meaning with different words (the "どうごはんぷく" is it too), whereas "Those who are dead are dead" is the use of the same words to express a non-redundant meaning (that those who are …

  7. Speechless

    As reported by Rob Coppinger the JAXA's spaceship is a transformer: it dramatically reconfigures itself after the launch.

    Unbelievable. Clearly someone watched too many Macross series.

    UPDATE: Dr. Antonio Elias of OSC says:

    That way the crew module can have an itsy bitsy hatch to go to the (pressurized) cargo …

  8. I'm my own Oricon

    Interesting dispersion, with counts falling sharply off the top. And the counts are higher than I expected.

    Obviously, the correlation with the strength of the track is approximate. I'm pretty sure 1st Priority benefited from a proximity to tracks of Stellvia on the playlist, it's not one of my all-time …

  9. Don on Moribito

    Don contrasts the anime and the book.

    When you make a movie from a novel, the challenge is to see how much you can jettison and still have a story that makes sense. Making a teevee series from a novel presents the opposite problem: how do you fill thirteen or …

    Guys? Enough with the data mining already, it's getting creepy.

    BTW, I have cookies in the browser disabled, just to combat this sort of thing.

    The link goes to some kind of shitty pirate site (albeit with a nicer design than Crunchyroll).
