Harvard Square 10/08/09
Stupid, personal, Boston-local related stuff. However, since this blog also functions as my personal blog (believe it or not) I figure I’ll post something like this up. Saw Perfect Blue sitting around Newbury Comics for 15 bucks. Should I buy it? I know it’s good, but I only have...
Endless Eight continues forever
Alright guys, I know you’re probably sick to death of Endless Eight, and have put that glorious chapter of your life behind you. However, right as Endless Eight ended, C76 began, I had to go home, and then I had to move up to Boston for school. It’s been...
Comic Update: NYAF filler shit
Original Post Just when I was getting back on my rhythm, NYAF throws me off. Here’s a cheap filler comic. Real one should be up by the end of this week. It’s written, but not sketched or anything. It involves Enjou Kousai. That’s all I’ll say. My big ol’...
I watched the first Zetsubou Sensei series again
After the experimental wonders put forth by Zoku and Goku, and now fresh off the heels of the non-stop, laugh-a-minute hilarity that is Zan, going back to watch the original Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei is quite strange. The first Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, in comparison to the rest, clearly has not...
Don’t get mad at your Japanese cartoon because it’s made in Japan, man
Ok, guys, listen. There’s these people out there, ok? These people operate under an assumption that Bakemonogatari–OTAKU HIPSTER show of the year–is difficult to understand. Further more, these people. You know, these people? They think the people who like this TV anime get a smug sense of satisfaction out...

A bunch of other cool guys have already put up their reports on NYAF, and since mine will materialize formally as a podcast (in likely a month or so) this report here is going to brief. I wasn’t really planning on going to NYAF, but as the guest list...
Many Men, In Line For Porn, At Dawn
Just taking a little shot I took at C76 and making it look cooler. I still want to do some write-ups on both Comic Market and Wonder Festival, along with perhaps another piece on my time in Japan. There are however a million other real blog posts I want...

The content of this show is true to the title for the first 10 or so minutes (believe it or not, there was even more of just me talking...
BREAKING NEWS: Bakemonogatari web episode news
Remember how back when Bakemonogatari was announced, there was news that the show was too long for its TV broadcast, and the remaining three episodes of the fifteen episode series had to be streamed online? Well, I just got some SUPER SECRET INFO from my industry contact in Japan,...
Mikuru-chan makes me hard as a rock
GODS, WHY MUST YOU FORSAKE ME!? NYANTYPE!!! Why do you put THIS issue out just after I’ve left Japan?! Ok, the Nagato poster in the issue I actually bought was neat and all, but she’s not really my favourite, you know? Ugh. I guess I can find this used...
