Anime!

Hmmm, maybe we need to pay more attention to Detective Conan at Anime!

Case Closed/ Detective Conan is the longest running anime show ever. (beating Dragon Ball Z’s total of 276)

Animal Yokocho doesn't sound like my cup of tea.

The opening song for Animal Yokocho was great. It’s sung in a cutesy, child-like voice and could be catchy if you spoke Japanese. It’s not a bad show, just don’t watch the series expecting any seriousness or plot. It’s pretty childish, although some of it was funny. If you’re into kiddie animes that are kind’ve random, you’ll probably enjoy this. If not, you won’t.

If you have trouble finding your fav anime, consider BitTorrent.

I use BitTorrent. I am a fan of anime and anyone who watches anime knows it is hard to find episodes in english or episodes released in america. I don’t mind fansub’s either. Anyway, to the point, i am using BitComet and i was downloading the second episode of this new series i am going to check out titled ‘Tsubasa Chronicle’.

Lots of anime and manga fans figuring out Halloween costumes.

The big thing coming up next weekend is of course halloween. I’m trying to organize some events for my classes and trying to get a costume together. I’m dressing up as a character from a Japanese Manga. The name of the Manga is Nana, it is very popular here and recently got made into a movie, i’m going as a character named Ren who is sort of a punk rocker japanese style.

Great anime list here:

I’m updating my anime list right now, and I noticed that I added 9 anime to my list. O_O crazy…..anyways, this is a list of what I’ll be watching.

Love and terror.

Aaron, my 13 year-old stepson, has his first girlfriend. They went out to a movie together a couple of weeks ago, and they see each other frequently - usually she rides her bike over to our Motel and hangs out doing homework and playing with Aaron. They are both still young, and they mostly talk about cartoons and Yu-Gi-Oh Cards, rather than anything too serious.

A Genshiken fan born every day.

If there’s one Anime that has recently blown me away it’s Genshiken for sure! It describes in great detail the daily lives of a group of real japanese Otaku. It’s very funny to watch and a brings a rich insight into japanese culture and the life of an Otaku.

We love that tingling feeling.

I always like to share in funny web comics about anime with the rest of you guys in the blogging world. Today’s VGCats not only pokes fun of Full Metal Alchemist, but also rips on another small obsession of mine, Harry Potter.

I haven't had a chance to watch Shakugan no Shana yet.

Another noteworthy anime of this new season is Shakugan no Shana. I watched the first episode unsubbed a few minutes ago. We are presented with a mixture of a cute fiery badass girl with sword, large cast of amazing characters, well designed enemies, mysterious and profound plot, top notch animation, grand music, and a solid powerful presentation. What more can you ask for?

Simple. Just play the game, and join us in our discussion about the game. The discussion may span our blogs, blog comments and message boards, possibly IRC, maybe even through telepathy! We can argue, congratulate each other, comment on one another’s comments, make jokes… Nothing is restricted; you can do whatever you want to express your feelings about the game such as take pictures, write/record songs, draw, paint, cosplay, do interpretive dance… anything at all. Text, pictures, audio, video, it’s all fair game. Spoilers should be kept to a minimum, but don’t let that keep you from talking about specific things in the game if you want to. Since we’re all playing it, we should all know what’s going on.

Maybe you should start a blog carnival on this topic?

A Blood+ fan here:

This will be recieving a far more detailed response than any other anime up to this point because, well, it’s indubitably the best show of the season. Except maybe for Noein, which airs this… Thursday, I think. Noein may still beat out Blood+, but for now, Blood+ is simply the best.

If you're looking for Inuyasha music downloads and other anime music, here's the ticket.

Anime Radio features music from popular shows including Cowboy Bebop, Inuyasha, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, Hack, Samurai Champloo, Full Metal Alchemist and many more. The station was developed in response to listener demand following the hugely successful launches of the Video Game Scores station in May and the Japanese Pop station in July.

A cosplay devotee.

I’m just amazed at how people would go through great lengths for something they feel passionate about. I’ve come to realize the same thing when it comes to cosplay. Ito na yata ang pinaka-weirdong bisyo na talagang kinarir to da max ng lolah nyo.

Very weird.

In an attempt to create more nerd life on this planet, scientists have taught dolphins to sing the ‘Batman’ theme from Adam West’s old show. No word yet one when they plan to finalize their lessons in how not to get laid by teaching them the themes from ‘Zelda’, ‘Star Trek’ and ‘Dragonball Z’.

The student/teacher roles reversed.

one of my students invited me to an anime festival over the weekend. she told me that she and some other students were going to sing. what she didn’t tell me was that was going to enter a cosplay competition. my limited knowledge of anime prevented me from identifying her character however, she did manage to come in third place, though she lost to sonic and batman. after the cosplay, we watched some anime for awhile. I’m still trying to decide if it was more enjoyable to watch anime dubbed into spanish or anime with the spanish subtitles. also, by singing she of course meant singing karaoke.

Hard to keep all these great titles if they've gone moldy.

I think I might have to throw everything... my whole Peach Girl: COH series... Pet Shop of Horrors... Paradise Kiss... Suikoden III... Demon Diary... Les Bijoux... countless notepads... countless DVDs... my Ai Yazawa art book that Amy got me... the Donnie Darko book...
