Now to make a post that’ll get no comments at all. Thank God for that, huh! There’s a new Nadesico pachinker game that opened up in Akiba, and as such there’s been something of a Nadesico advertising blitz going around. Last time I was there with Nocturnesb there was...

I said don’t make me tell you twice! You never listen to me, internet! It would seem as if the collective Anime Blogging Attack Force (note: different from the Anime Blogging Illuminati, which I have only barely penetrated) has shot back responses in a number of different ways. Some...

There’s this guy living in my guest house. In fact, he may be reading this right now. Anyways, on Friday nights I usually come back home with takeout for dinner. Sometimes I come back with something from Mos Burger. This guy will typically have made some impressive feast of...

There’s not a lot of information about our boy Shinbo Akiyuki on the internet. Well, at least in English. I mean, yeah, there is this blog, which has some really informative translations and shitty everything else, but that’s about it! As such, one has to turn to the Japanese...
