Tag: Kannagi

Yesterday I got this Kannagi DVD that for some reason came with some random Mobile Suit Gundam stickers. Lord knows for how long these have been sitting around the Bandai offices! Here’s a sexy picture of Hachikuji by tooo. Happy New Year!...

The clock is about to strike 18:00. It’s a cool Spring evening in Nakano, and I’m outside the station orienting myself with this map I printed out from the UFOTable Cafe website, with the goal in mind being to see the Kannagi exhibit currently on display there. This cafe...

Download [audio:http://mistakesofyouth.com/podcast2/MoY_2_ep_12.mp3] The Ol’ Gang from the very first episode (of season 2) come back together for an awesomely nerdy conversation about one of the year’s most dangerous shows! We talk about interlacing, dutch angles and postmodernism. Yeah. We’re cool guys. Guests Link Omo Songs Opening Song– “Haroo Daizu...

Provided that you are not jaded as all hell, every year it is not usual to come out with a select few shows you absolutely love, and would most certainly watch again. These are special shows. Shows that you look forward to each week. Shows that touch your heart....

Current Casshern Sins: Arty retro stuff. Sometimes boring, but mostly good. ChäoS;HEAd: Moe psychological thriller. I can dig it. Crannad ~After Story~: The first arc was great, but now it’s getting into “NOT THIS SHIT AGAIN, KEY” territory. Detroit Metal City: Hahahaha, the rapping episode. ef – a tale...

Oh no– don’t let the title give you the wrong idea. This won’t be some long, drawn out essay. This is just something I’ve noticed. It seems this season some shows are looking back at the fanbase for certain amounts of inspiration. Rather, the people who make these things...

Casshern Sins The breadth of my Casshern knowledge extends to about a frame or two of animation I saw while walking past a screening room at Otakon 2008 late one night. Or that could have been Hurricane Polymar. This, however, is fine, since no prior knowledge of Casshern is...
