1. Animanachronism on Crest of the Stars

    Daniel's posting makes me question my decision to bypass the Crest and proceed directly to the Banner, the latter being universally acclaimed as far and far away superior over its predcessor.

    UPDATE: TheBigN shares the following anecdote by e-mail:

    I speak from limited experience, but at Cornell as a freshman …

  2. Random thought about Figure 17

    As I mentioned before, the combat weariness of Tsubasa is one of the central themes of Figure 17, and a similar phenomenon plays a role in Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. I just remembered another depiction of it, in Death of a Hero by Richard Aldington. While Ender reaches …

  3. Myself;Yourself at about 03

    While all my DVDs are packed away, I sustain myself with what was squirreled away at my laptop's winchester, and that is Myself;Yourself. I find the ugly art somehow endearing. It has a retro feel, but with a nice fuzzy computer coloring. If animators were not so terribly incompetent …

  4. CVN73

    J.P. links to a manga called CVN73. It's pretty amusing.

    Although he identifies the manga as an OEL, speech balloons sure look vertical to me, not to mention rather crude fonts. I think it would make way more sense for the manga to be created in Japanese, if USN …

  5. SDB begins Figure 17

    Steven opens Figure 17, and it's a good trip so far for the readers. For example, he mentions off hand that Hikaru must be returning into a human form because her containning capsule was broken. I did not even think of that. As we see, usually the crack in Ribbers' …

  6. Druaga 11

    Plot is coalescing towards the final showdown (ANN says only 12 episodes are planned, not 13).

    Looking at it the other way, the chessboard is being cleared of extra pieces. But don't worry, Coopa is still with us.

  7. I hate miniblogs

    The only splinter blog I follow is by the creator of Animanachronism. Personally, I do not believe that a posting can be too short... and I'm about to prove it, regarding:

    I've been examining 'I'll Form the Head!' at Hop Step Jump because in a post I'm writing this week …

  8. Kuro on Youtube shenagians

    Kurogane is not happy about YouTube versions of [Tower of] Druaga which started to pressure viewers to use Crunchyroll. According to him, the Druaga 10 used the upper letterbox space in the 4:3 YouTube window to advertise Crunchyroll, and Druaga 11 is truncated and ends with an offer to …

  9. Omni on Druaga 11

    Seen at Random Curiousity:

    My main problem with this episode is that they spent so much time on her death and on the fight to defeat Druaga that all of the critical questions of the series still have yet to be answered. In fact, Pazuz’s death already eliminates one …

  10. Tokikake attendance

    Unbelievable:

    At the 6pm showing last night, I counted less than 30 heads in the theater.

    Jumping into a car and driving to L.A. is not a big deal for me, it's only 4.5 hours away by I-5. However, I'm a bit busy throwing my belongings into cardboard …
