1. Moogy mocks Funi

    An amusing non-ex fansubber's monologue:

    So, my question is - who exactly did Funimation C&D over this show? It sure wasn’t the group that subbed it! Or even the people who distro’d it! Maybe they C&D’d AnimeOmake? They subbed episodes 1-6. Or those Spanish dudes who …

    Seen at a random place (via one of the freaking gazillion of Lelangir's blogs -- seriously man, you're pushing it [but see below -- Author]):

    Why must people write these things? I'm not going to lie, those kinds of entries irk me to no end. They should irk you too, but maybe …

  3. Otou on Clannad, bis

    I appreciate the second take on the topic (which supersedes the rather hasty (and trollish) original attempt), because I did not give Clannad a big enough chance when I dropped it. I have not even made it official, all I have is a short summary. Of course, he's tryng to …

  4. Sixten's banner for Kairu

    Yes, I'm still on a little break. Meanwhile, check out the precious little ditty Sixten has done as a commenter's prize (link). The work took 30 hours. If he took as much as a California auto mechanic, about $80 per hour, that would be $2,400. I'm afraid Ani-nouto's management …

  5. That sneaky SDS

    In meta.

    Thanks to BigN, I have just discovered that SDS runs Ogiue Maniax. The blog itself displays no identity, so how could I know? People did, however. Tooltip in the Heisei's blogroll says "SDS's blogging enterprise par excellence, with deep ruminations on anime and Ogiue".

    The significance of this discovery …

  6. Toradora 08

    The 08 is the "battle", with Ryuuji going to Ami's villa if she wins... Was there ever any doubt in the outcome? Honestly! And then Taiga invited herself to the villa, of course.

    I think I'm going to drop Toradora. However, it's not because the plot is too predictable. My …

  7. Animation quality, then and now

    The Omisyth's post on the topic reminded me how I went through the line-counting phase myself. It started about when I saw the awful quality of Mai-HiME, and it took about a year to pass. What weaned me off this particular obsession was a review of Azumanga. That show represents …

  8. Nodame Paris 06

    Ascaloth of RIUVA asked in passing what has happened to blogging Nodame Cantabile ~Paris-hen~ at Ani-nouto. The answer is, lack of interest happened. Although the ep.06 was rather strong by the standards of Paris-hen, and I enjoyed Chiyaki going undercover, the sequel is just not measuring up to the …

  9. Aria and Naruto

    While watching ep.11, a thought has occured to me that I have seen this exact design before: two generations of three.

    I am explicitly not trying to build any equivalencies between specific characters, because obviously it's futile (although, Aika is as stupid and hiperactive as Naruto, to the letter …
