1. Japanese humor

    I previewed a bit more of Rumbling Hearts, and found that it had between-episode omakes. They aren't at the level of the omakes which came with To Heart, but still, it's nice to have them. One displays some odd humour though:

    She's in coma in hospital, right? And hitting her …

  2. Macross F intrigues me

    Seen at Kuro today (actually I skipped the post unread yesterday and then someone drew my attention to it):

    With the VF-25 being the talk of the town, I completely forgot about those.

    UPDATE: Another set of screencaps helping me to live Macross vicariously is at Atarashii Prelude. Pay attention …

  3. Naruto fanart

    Early characters (via):

    I can identify all of the above, but it's easy. Many are missing, three teams are represented by one member each.

    Lucky Shippuuden Star (via):

    Since I don't follow Shippuuden, I only recognize Sakura and Naruto.

  4. Real numbers

    The discussion of the industry that I've seen on blogs was hampered by lack of any numbers, and ungrounded speculation. So, it's always nice to see leaks such as seen at ANN forums recently. My attention was attracted to these postings by the same gentleman who reported live from NYCC …

  6. Scott on Lucky Star OP

    Anime Almanac:

    This semi-rap aspect of the song was just too unusual for me, so I thought it was an epic failure of a theme song. But after listening to it a couple of times, I started to like it. Not only did I start to like it, I was …

  7. Druaga, BOST, etc.

    With a supreme effort of will, I managed to open the new season at last, and this time I'm doing it in a legal way, thanks to BOST (of course we all know that certain things are only made "illegal" because certain interests bent the copyright regime to their advantage …

  8. Jason's runaway generalizations

    Owen was messaging me with "that's the most intelligent thing I've ever heard Jason say, ever". I guess I have no choice but to quote Jason then.

    I’m going to devote the next few weeks to subtle and not-so-subtle digs at the “plot is more important than fanservice …

  9. Lawson on mecha

    After a mandatory disclaimer of mecha appeal, Jeff says:

    Oddly enough, however, the one mecha show I consider a favorite is one in which the mechanics of the mecha themselves are both realistic and presented in such a way that many engineers would appreciate. Of course, I’m talking about …

  10. Oh Yukari

    Having barely finished a page, I started flipping through...

    In the anime, Yukari shows for the training in street clothes. I guess the animators were lazy.

    Dear Bandai Entertainment, please hurry up.
