Anime!

Equally fascinating is the manga version by Miyazaki: http://www.nausicaa.net/miyazaki/manga/otto.html

Now, if we can get President Bush to cosplay, I’m sure our Pacific allies would react with utter… amusement? He’d get the American otaku vote, though.

Wenn man in dem Alter noch Pokemonsongs nachspielt würde ich langsam anfangen, mir Sorgen zu machen.

Now, for the main dish. Genshiken. I’ve seen a few people say that Genshiken will be coming out this Spring Season (aka April-ish). They’re wrong. It was announced way back when that it will be OCTOBER. So, fans, run, dont walk to your dvd collection and watch Genshiken again… and again… and again. I’m actually wishing I’m wrong and that it will be coming out this Spring, but I do not believe this is so.

I’ve had a perfectly normal day today, not done anything out of the ordinary – woke late, took my bike downtown, bought a manga volume I’d been waiting for, decided it was too cold to wander around aimlessly, and went back home. I’ve struggled with the lousy connection (10 minutes just to get the connection stable enough to access the proxy!), wondered what I should get for supper, and discovered I forgot my Japanese book in my desk after last class. But I’ve also shared the leftovers of my supper with a very hungry friend, gotten a Japanese book in exchange, and chatted with a whole bunch of people, just in passing, as I was sitting with my computer in the hallway, trying to get a signal. And those things are enough to make this a very, very good day – just like most days here are for me. Even if I don’t understand how it happened, really, that I’ve found myself halfway across the world, and loving it so much…

haha…think my dad was cleaning out the storeroom. he left a stack of cards on my table. lo and behold! its my old card collection. haha…granted it isn’t alot of them. but it still kinda cool looking at these. most of them are old dragonball z cards, a number of chinese singers and a bunch of yuyuhakashu ones.

That old hayseed “Dub-ya” was ranting about the evils of modern science he started listing off atrocities he’d like to make illegal. the first two were your normal fare: the cloning of human beings and the use of embryos and experiments. The third one, however, perked my ears right on up. It seems that the president is very concerned about human-animal hybrids. He just slipped it in like it was nothing, and, strangely enough, possible. What kind of strange “Full Metal Alchemist” world is George Bush living in if he thinks human-animal hybrids are a major issue worth mentioning in a State of the Union speech? Who is his science adviser, Cris Carter? At what point did centaurs become a national crisis?
