I'm still waiting to watch a really good live action movie that was based on an Anime or Manga. I'm sure B-Independent might be able to enlighten us if he so chooses.

Maybe I'm the first here, maybe the last^^, but Last Exile is getting a big screen release. I just hope that they don't fuck this up!

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

Well summer is here, and its already kicking ass so for now going to try and keep it going.

However the fact I couldnt get around sucked because I got seriously lazy, flat screens and Xbox's are evil. So I am just getting back to the gym and it sucks so bad, I am all f-cked up lol.

Fan-service... over-rated!!!

You know, there is something I just don't get... what is the fascination with panties!?!
I mean come-on! It's underwear!!! In reality, not the most sanitary piece of clothing!

Don't get me wrong, I believe women are the most beautiful and special gender that God created, but I just do not get the preoccupation with the lower undergarments.

If you ask me the best part of the feminine gender is that part of the female anatomy between the thigh and the waist. That 'bend' is the most perfect spot… Continue

You know, I've noticed something... my viewing has slowed down considerably and I'm trying to figure out why. At first I thought it was that I was too busy with things in the 'real' world, but I've come to realize that is not it at all. It looks like I've just gotten bored! When my anime mania started, I could not get enough. I have to admit there were times when I would stay up until 3 in the morning (on a week night) to see the next episode of the thing I was watching... buy those moments have… Continue

Origami's mini-review

OK, without getting too "knee-deep" in it, here is my (un)expert opinion on the stuff I've completed watching. Nothing deep, nothing profound, just a gut, emotional, irrational, "knee-jerk" reaction to the stuff I've watched in 100 words or less.


  • "Full Metal Panic!" - I liked it. Art is great! The (drama/comedy) relationship between Sousuke and Chidori is what sold it for me. Bought it.

Running Commentary on Origami's Collection

After mush searching, begging, and false buying (buying the item which was suppose to be in stock but wasn't), I have FINALLY acquired a copy of "Haibane Renmei vol.3". You have no idea what I have gone though to look for this DVD. But now that I have it in my possession, all is right again in the world.

FYI, if any of you are interested, RightStuff has ALL 4 DVD's Of "Haibane Renmei" instock at a great price!

Chibi Otaku and Ultra Maniac

We've watched volumes 2-5 now and they are getting used to watching it with me. I've starting making them herbal tea to drink while watching. Their mother accused me of creating Mini-Mes.

SPOILERS

We were about to watch it, when Hannah (aged 6) came up to me and started jumping up-and-down, up-and-down. She asked, still jumping, "Ultra Maniac is the coolest show ever, isn't it?" I agreed that it was.
Actually, the animation quality drops severely from volume 4 onward. I don't me… Continue

Changes and constants.

Well, I'm still alive.

I found a new job, and it's in Minnesota; 1,500 miles from my current residence. We're packing up and getting ready to head out this week. Thanks to everyone who send along well wishes from the last post -- it really meant a lot.

Unfortunately, with getting ready to go, I still haven't had much time for new anime. We sold off almost all of our A/V equipment, so we've been exploring Crunchyroll. Now that they're legit, I don't have any problem using them -- and chances ar… Continue

Ultra Maniac vol. 1 - my nieces' reactions

A couple of weeks before showing my nieces Ultramaniac, I told them the story as I remembered it from the manga.

They had trouble with the names Ayu and Nina but not the characters - serious tennis player and ditzy witch respectively.

Hannah asked why Ayu's face turned blue sometimes. I told her it happened when Ayu was upset. Hannah told me that my face got red when I was upset, not blue. (Kids. Way. Too. Direct.)

I explained that Ayu had a crush on Kaji and that's why there were so many pin… Continue

my nieces' reactions to anime

I've been showing my nieces some anime recently.

They are Emma 8 and Hannah 6 (not their real names), and they love princesses. I asked Clovous and Mercilous for some recommendations, so I could put a bunch of kid friendly anime on my NF queue.

I showed them Pretear because I own it and it's sparkly and princess-y. They loved it.

Some of their reactions were kind of cute.

Emma told me sternly at one point that it wasn't nice of Himeno to be naked during her transformation scene. I tol… Continue

This is just me venting my frustration and I knowwwww that crap happens from time to time...but....I really miss being able to update MAL. I feel so lost without it. Like I will some how forget what eps I've seen the last two days and I won't be able to update the list correctly. When did I become so dependent on MAL. The feeling is equilavent to leaving my cell phone. Do you know what I mean???
