    In anime.

    Translations: en

    It was a while since I bought obsolete physical media, but I think this was worth it. I'm going to rewatch it in glorious low-def now!

    Funny how FUNi choose their licenses by rummaging in a dark bin and mostly fetching drek. But once in a blue moon they win …

  2. Thomas M. Kreutzer, the witness

    In an unlikely coincidence one Thomas Kreutzer wrote for the TTAC today:

  7. Initial D S1 01-11

    Initial D is another discovery courtesy of Fabulous Anime Club at UNM. It does not top the amazing discovery of Nodame, but it underscores once again the importance of extending horizons once and again. No, I'm not watching Madoka. But I thought Initial D was some kind of stupid action …
