Slayers "Hype"



Way back when,  Slayers Evolution -R was what people wanted to be hyped back in the Winter of 2008 but I just wasn't ready. I've finally finished with the fourth series (Revolution) plus the movies and OVA's. I'm getting closer to becoming a Slayers exp… Continue

Think on this real-life paradox [non-anime]

Something in the future goes back in time to change the events so that the course of the universe takes a different route forever changing the way things unfold. We've seen variations of this plot carried out anime and mainstream science fiction shows, but it blew my mind when I saw it being seriously discussed.

From Slashdot:

Dennis Overbye from the NY Times is reporting on a "crazy" theory being worked up by a pair of "otherwise distinguished physicists" regarding the Large Hadron Collider's… Continue

Parallel Origami's adventure watching anime on the silver screen, I went out and saw Evangelion 1.0: You are (not) alone at the Mall of America this evening.

Eureka Seven - Good Night, Sleep Tight, Young Lovers: (in the theater)

OK, I shelled-out $12.50 last night to watch "Eureka Seven - Good Night, Sleep Tight, Young Lovers", last night (Sept.24,2009) on the big screen. This was a one-night-only special event and seeing that this was my first time watching an anime in the movie theater, I thought it was worth the investment to investigate.

Oh the horror! (of a bad dub)

I've stated previously on this site that I prefer my anime dubbed, though I tend to watch both Japanese and English vocal tracks for comparison.
(quick note: rabid sub fans need not bother trying to convince of the superiority of Japanese voice acting over English voice acting, or how listening to the vocals in the original language enhances the experience.)

Bad dubs are just part of the package of being a foreign film fan. I take a Taoist point of view, and just accept that they happen,… Continue

It's the story.

I came across an older discussion on this site about where it was stated that "the vast majority of anime fans want children's programming."

Whether or not that's a valid statement is irrelevant --- it struck a nerve.

See, I'm just as happy to watch anime targeted for under thirteen as I am any other category, and this has always been the case. That's not to say I go to the extremes; I don't watch everything -- I'm selective in what I consider entertaining, I don't bother watching story… Continue

Purchasing Anime & Cardcaptor Sakura

Recently a question was posed to me about purchasing anime and Cardcaptor Sakura. I've discussed this subject quite extensively on NTZ but have never actually recorded all the information and put it in one place, so I decided to blog it baby. When it comes to purchasing Anime. In my experience it is best not to buy Anime right when it comes out, but a couple months after when more sellers get their hands on the titles. This forces competition and the prices usually co… Continue

Anime Graphics & Goods Resources - searching

So I was hunting around for anime/manga graphics that I could use at home and places like here and came across a good one. The artwork I saw for some of the shows on the website even made me interested in some shows I had never heard about before.

www.dragonrain.com

That is the site. They were some VERY cool graphics for Vampire Knight, Fruits Basket, and even Haibane Renmei! I was very excited, so you should check it out.

The true color of bell nuts.

My oldest kidlette and I are very much anime addicts (it could be argued that she is even more so than I). This weekend, between playing fast and loose with explosives and trying to set fire to beef, we chatted quite a bit about anime.

One of the series we chatted about was Haibane Renmei. It's a wonderful show that I cannot say enough good things about. The show is one of those perfect storm conversation bits for people that have been lucky enough to watch the series. Conversations run… Continue

MMO's -- that *other* past time.

"Past time" might be too innocuous a term. It might be said that my other big addiction is MMO's. I'm a fan of the overused and tired fantasy genre. Like cowbell, I just can't get enough sword-n'-sorcery. I like my MMO's like my Anime -- with engaging original stories, great visuals and audio, and cool characters -- and that's about as much as this post will deal with Anime.

Although I'm not a Square-Enix fan, or even a appr… Continue

"Sasuke" Ninja Warrior

I don't know if anyone else has seen this show, but I just caught it for the first time on Friday on G4, and after the first episode, I was officially addicted. They were running a marathon all weekend, and I literally did nothing else. The show is a test of pure physical endurance and strength, pitting contestants against 4 progressively harder physical trials in hopes of being crowned Ninja Warrior. At first I was just fascinated to watch these extraordinary people put themselves through these… Continue

Otaku -- we're just better than you are.

"You've joined a club without knowing. Damn near everyone one else on a motorcycle is your buddy."

That's what my friend Chris said to me when I showed him my first motorcycle (a few *ahem* years back) . I remember that for two distinct reasons. First, that kind of dry humor wasn't his normal schtick so it wasn't so easy to blow off. Second, I found out later I shouldn't have worked so hard blowing him off -- he wasn't kidding.

Every time I passed another motorcyclist on the road we'd exchange… Continue
