1. Symbolism of Idolm@ster

    When Hikago posted a pamflet from which the following illustration is cropped, it looked like he mocked vapous attempts to seek symbolism where none was meant by the creators:

    Too bad nothing was linked, I'm wonering if he meant anyone in particular. The only one who would even bother to …

    The initial test of modded Toshiba that I mentioned previously turned up a big problem: the stupid box stretches 4:3 DVDs {Update: this is fixed now, see below}. The result looks like this:

    It is truly infuriating to realize that the firmware has all the information available to do …

    One difficult thing about Twitter is how it requires perfection. A minute ago I twittered:

    I am peeved by "manga as an app" (the legit one), for Kindle Fire. You are selling THROUGH AMAZON. Just sell a MANGA BOOK, jeezus!

    I finally have a BD, even if it is a half of a combo set. Now, how do I play it?

  5. Diebuster fails

    It was just like FLCL, and I hated FLCL, so... I completed FLCL though. It was amusingly weird and unconventional. But I don't want to do it again.

  6. Kill Me Baby 01 stumbles

    Like Steven, I was attracted to Kill Me Baby by Sixten, and with the same result. Oddly enough, everything Sixten wrote about the anime, and all his parsing comes true. But the end product just does not grab me in the way Nichijou did in its good parts. It feels …

  8. What shall I say at IM@S panel?

    By Author

    In meta.

    My Idolmaster panel for LCAD 2012 was accepted. The question is, what do I do now?

    I was to a few con panels before, and I have a rough idea what they usually are like. I'm looking at delivering a reasonably coherent presentation with Q+A. The rest is the …
