I remember watching Figure 17. That’s 12 episodes at 40 minutes each. I was blown away at the depth of it. (I also had no idea that they were 40 minutes a pop when I started. I was thinking to myself, “Wow. They managed to …read more
Hung on 9rules and discussion quality
According to a post at BasuGasuBakuHaku, 9rules decided to unravel.
Tangentially, Hung touches upon the spontaneous discussions in blogs. Although he shows good examples, I think he's a bit optimistic. We are not well connected yet. Sometimes I think that I'm the master quoter and linker (at least of AB …
read moreManabi Straight Special
The Manabi Straight Special is a pure filler episode, wedged into the continuity somewhere between ep.6 and ep.7. I had a tiny hope that it would be some kind of a follow-up episode or a reunion, but alas, it did not happen. In the same time, over-sexualization a-la …

Not that I'm a fan or anything, but to follow upon my previous post, Kuro reports that a Lucky Star CD is out:

Gundam 08th MS Team rolls
I am quite relieved to report that the show starts rolling by ep.06. Up to this point I contemplated writing something like: "If this is the best Gundam franchize has to offer, I do not want to know what the second best might be". But perhaps now it won't …

In a comment to his own posting Steven writes:
One of the things I thought was particularly refreshing about Crest of the Stars was that neither side was portrayed as being "good guys". There was the crazy intelligence guy from United Mankind, but there was also Baron Febdash. Jinto and …
