1. Gendomike lifts kimono a little

    As mentioned previously, Mike interviewed Tatsuo Sato at AX. He haven't posted any transcript or summary yet, but pumps the meta:

    [At the press-conference] I made the translator’s life especially hard as I asked super anime nerd questions about his views of the industry post-Evangelion, whether Lagrange ahd Evangelion …

  2. CKS on dropping series

    Just this:

    As a general comment: giving up on watching shows partway through instead of grimly sticking to them out of a misplaced, neurotic sense of completeness turned out to be a remarkably liberating thing and feels quite good.

  3. Blog Burst

    Omo asked:

    PS. Is it me or in the past 5 days every blog I follow (for example, Anipages) updated several times? Is there a mandate to update your blog this past week even if your average blog post/wk rate is below 1? What is this?

    The graph does …

  4. Sentai's licensing binge

    Someone already tweeted: "It's going to be fun watching Sentai crash and burn AGAIN with how much they're licensing. Owning Space Bros on BD will be cool though." The hive-mind has got a point: ADV had already been through the trick bankrupcy once, in part because of royalties.

  6. SDB on idols


    Haruka's Fan Number One.

    There was a unduly nasty attack on Idolm@ster at Chizumatic recently, with the kinds of smear-by-association rhetoric that I would not even use on feminists. Leaving that aside, however, it was also misguided and wrong-headed in its thesis, which I think merits addressing.

    The girls …

  7. Stilts on Viewer's Imaginations

    Editorial content in my RandomC? Say it ain't so!

    The question of viewer's imagination is rather natural. I appreciate the anime that raises questions very much. Two things, however.

    Firstly, what excites one, falls flat for another. Seen the guesswork about Mouretsu at Chizumatic? And before that, AsoIku? But I …

  8. Reader Mail and Pretty Girls

    Just kidding, nobody sends any mail anymore. However, Chikorita #157 was essentially trolling for linkage regarding "older girls". Azusa Miura, sure, we looked at her previously, although then again, is there anyone hotter than Kotori in that show? And the prompting article left me rather unimpressed.
