1. Anime Almanac on Lucky Star

    After certain preparation, Scott produced a magnum opus:

    Lucky Star is not the second coming of Christ.

    It’s not even a particularly good show.

    Sure... But then, by way of explanation:

    The comedy is completely hit-or-miss, and when the show hits, it hits hard. The scene where Tsukasa attempts …

  2. Kurogane and Macross

    Kuro is dumping his notes from Macross (not F), and it is beginning to look humorous:

  7. Animanachronism on fanservice

    To quote:

  8. Oh Ubu

    Ignorance breeds fear:

    I have found the subs at sites I’m worried about frequenting, because I don’t know their rep: Fansub.tv; Veoh.com, Mininova.org. I’m always worried about going to sites like that and meeting up with a nice trojan.
