Via my blogging idol Instapundit (see, no comments) comes the word about a way to search Amazon for discounted anime (link). A cursory glance reveals that it's not just a dump of yesterday's trash. They offer Mushishi for $28.49 (!), Spice and Wolf for $31.99, 12K, GiTS and so …
read moreIllustrations for Danny Choo's Chinka
Heard via a shoutout that Danny created an illustration set at Flickr, for those of us into that sort of thing. Of course the most important thing is the story and the ending, and second most important is the characters, and so on. But when the art looks professional it's …
read moreNetflix stops streaming of a bunch of anime
Via Nigorimasen comes the news of another bulk streaming shutdown, this time at Netflix. I never used the service, because it required Windows-specific software, but others did (I recall that Nick Istre watched Kurau that way).
We really need another DTO challenger like BOST (R.I.P.).

Democrat from NH wants to nuke Japan for anime
Seen at Youtube:lp-USKnPDbY:
[Levasseur] wrote about a form of Japanese cartoons called "anime" as "a prime example of why two nukes just wasn't enough".
Anyone seen screencaps? What series got the dokey's panties in the wad?
UPDATE: Apparently, Levasseur is a typical psychotic Democrat state Senator, which is still …

Omo springs in defence of Nova
Nova received some grief from peers (such as Kuro) for this: "In the end Sora no Woto was pretty much a light-weight version of Haibane Renmei and its enjoyability was greatly dependent on how one could get into the relaxing but somewhat melancholic atmosphere." It was not just the comments …
