1. Brik-haus on GL

    For some reason, this struck me as humorous:

    Remind me never to kiss Yoko. It seems like whenever someone does, they soon wind up as dead meat.

    Where did I see that before?

    Don Curtiss was playing with fire.

  2. Naruto owns the world

    As seen at Calguns, an AR-15 with a laser engraving of Konoha leaf:

    At the thread, some of expected confusion and typical Naruto bashing is present, but not as much as I feared. Also, some of the posters appear to know what /k/ is. Perhaps I should be disturbed.

    My …

  3. Ronery registers

    I see observations like this quite often:

    Japan is a very cash-based society, and there are no such things as using personal checks to pay for goods.

    Everyone says that. Nonetheless, I keep seeing things like these:

    The example above is from Rocket Girls, but I saw them in Bamboo …

  4. Jonathan Tappan on ef

    Jonathan bade his time long enough, marshalling his arguments in secret like Marshal Zhukov did for Operation Uranus. Now that he dropped the hammer on Chihiro, the effect is equally devastating [link].

    There's nothing left for me to debate, except to pick up the pieces and observe that in my …

  5. Nigorimasen on "AOD"

    Apparently there was a small con in my backyard this weekend, Nigorimasen reports. Its name folds into an acronym "AOD", which clashes with "Anime on DVD". Also, seems like either the screening was lacking or CalAggie didn't care for seeing anything, which is my primary occupation at conventions. So I …

  6. Holy Bamboo Blade Batman!

    I quit following Bamboo Blade for the lack of time after ep.5, without an official notice, because I rather liked that show. Now after Kuro's post (spoiling), I foresee DVDs in my future.

    I pray they wrap up this season and won't make any sequels.

  7. R values

    Sometimes I tell people that I saw Azumanga more than 25 times, and they look incredulous. Indeed the number seems a little high, even makes me dubious myself. But today I noticed the following play counts in my iPod (I've got a Video model and watch anime on it despite …

  8. DVD on demand

    IMDB Studio Briefing:

    Hewlett-Packard has signed a deal with Sony Pictures to turn out DVDs from the studio's library whenever customers request them, the Los Angeles Times reported today (Thursday). The deal will allow consumers to order movies that ordinarily would not be stocked by dealers because they are too …

  9. Glycosaka

    Thought that Danny Choo might have gone to TAF in the past and so I visited his website, unreadable as always. While scrolling in futile attempts to find a search box, I came across a post with a leader picture which looked familiar. But of course...

    As it turns out …
