1. Skin-tight

    Via RLV & Space Transport News comes a report about the skin-tight spacesuit development.

    I wrote that it was not a fiction before, but still, it does not hurt to repeat. Rocket Girls is not porn. It's engineer's porn.

    One note I forgot to post was how the race for space …

  2. Danny Choo

    I heard about Danny Choo several times before, but for some reason could never understand just how his (supposedly famous) site actually worked. It's just such a horrible mess (very cute though!). This time I think I'm getting it, at least somewhat. It's a portal. Danny himself said the word …

  3. J2, a visual retrospective

    Warning: major spoilers ahead.

    I am quite unhappy with Koinosuke's behaviour, and, by extension, character. That he went AWOL from his quest and got married, I can understand. Not ideal, but... Heck, if his own master deserted in the same way, who am I to judge him? But pulling his …

  4. Yoko Ishida is on the road again

    As seen at TheAnimeBlog (Of course I do not read that outlet. I saw this at Antenna, honest!), Yoko Ishida comes to America again (more evidence of Ishida-san's stubborness and obsession with undeserving us). It took me minutes of intensive clicking to find where the concert is going to be …

  5. J.P. Meyer and ACC's capacity

    As seen at Minaide, Hizukashi:

    It makes no sense, for example for AX to be worried about “growth” at Anaheim when there was usually multiple other cons using the same amount of space.

    Here's what was actually said, including the interruption:

    WANG: ... understand that people have issues with Los Angeles …

  6. J.P. Meyer and Yaoi Paddles

    From Minaide, Hizukashii:

    What’s the deal with those yaoi paddles, anyway? I saw three different kinds for sale (and they were expensive, too! Like $30 each!): ones that said “UKE”, ones that said “SEME”, and ones that said “HARDCORE SIDE” and “SOFTCORE SIDE”. Do you smack people because they …

  7. Minoru Shiraishi, the renaissance man

    It seems obvious to me that Shiraishi's phenomenon was engineered on purpose, because the script is written ahead of time. Sure, I understand that he appeared in drag to the first recording session. But by that time everything was already decided. The misterious "creators" have seen through him at auditions …

  8. TNK on classics

    As seed at TNK:

    The thing that Mike laments is the idea that “no one talks about Tenchi anymore!”. What Mike is really getting at is the idea that a lot of classics from the mid-90’s have fallen out of the aural memory of today’s fans. Record of …

  9. Bugfox on Azumanga

    Seen at FunBlog:

    It’s not the greatest anime ever made, but I think it is pretty good; indeed the best example of its genre.

    I suppose, this is something. Meanwhile, look at this:

    Anyway, RTWT. The formalized parential perspective is something we don't see on anime blogs often.

  10. NieA_7 starts

    After the start of NieA_7 (read: "Nee-eh-Ah Under Seven") I am cautiously optimistic.

    • Where most shows start with their best animation and then fade as the animation team stretches, NieA starts with the worst of cartoonish art an anime from 1990s could display and not being cut, then gradually …
