No, it's not by me. The Epic Win made mockery of anything I could've put together.
[Why so late to link? I ran across a comment by Orion. — But this pours water on the mill of pro-comment party! — Oh shit. Well, anyway...]
read moreClannad begins
Clannad is disturbing, but its visuals are outstanding. In other words, nothing unexpected. One personal note though... I hated the Toei's Kanon because the girls were defective, unpleasant, annoying, repulsive, etc. I even bypassed its remake. In Clannad, they are only defective, which seems like a step forward.
Raw notes …
read moreMagic User's Club begins
And now, for something entirely different. To break off with the scanning across the current season, the series from the 90s which looks like... hmm. I'm not going to be judgemental. After a tedious review, this is about the best screenshot so far:
Not too bad, eh? I even found …
read moreAnime pulls a Lucas
Zyl catalogs updates that an episode of Nanoha StrikerS received between TV and DVD. Keeping an anime in a digital master (and not on a Betamax tape) invites such post-factum editing. Naruto was famously edited to remove excessive blood for the U.S. broadcast, which created quite a steer among …

Seen in Stripey's hiatus notice:
Kodomo no jikan - More about Rin’s dark past would be nice. For Rin to be so liberal, I hope it’s not because she was sexually abused when young. Looking forward to Rin growing out of her cynicism via her increased contact with the …

I mean I know I get annoyed when people write articles that Russia is a refrigerator 365 days a year so everyone wears those wooly hats and dances the russian dance to keep warm.
I don't get annoyed by this …
read moreShamus is dead
I mean, he is dead for me (I learned this joke from an online comic "PvP", so it may be offensive, I cannot know (but I'm not claiming that anyone who fails to laugh with me is racist)).
Seriously though... Shamus wrote a few things about anime, but then gaming …
read moreMinami-ke down
After the Sketchbook squeaked it by, Minami-ke is the first abandonment of the season. It is also a first-episode abandonment, which I haven't had in a long while (I'm a big believer into giving anime a chance). The main problem is Kana, who imitates the worst of Miu from Ichino …
read moreJason has it made
I saw an interesting post at AoMM. It is, unfortunately, meta – a bloggage about blogging – but it's pretty insightful. The other time I'd toss up a post "Jason on blogging" and engage in nitpicking. But what attracted my attention today was the lead picture: I can only think of it …
