Anime Vacation Spots
Posted: August 11, 2011 Filed under: Anime 9 CommentsBy the time you read this, I will no longer be here.
In a week and a half from now (from when I am writing this), I will be in Hawaii, and I have just left yesterday (according to when this has been published).
To commemorate my nearly-week-long vacation, I’ll be talking about vacation spots in anime. Nothing specific, mind you. I don’t have the memory banks to store any specifics. My brain is an old model, and it has a RAM of 128 megabytes. I don’t want to save something so useless as anime vacation spots to my hard drive. I should carry around an external brain. I hear they make them with dozens of gigabytes now.
Naruto Shippuuden 221
Posted: August 4, 2011 Filed under: Anime 16 CommentsIn my journey in the anime world and fandom, I have come to the realization that “first episode impressions” are about as impressive as “random episode impressions.” People are getting dumber and dumber these days and assume that a “three episode test” – that is, watching the first three episodes of a show to determine if it’s good – works wonders. Some even believe that a three episode test isn’t enough, and that we need more and more episodes to watch before we can determine if an anime is truly good.
Eventually, we’ll reach the point where everybody agrees that watching an entire anime isn’t enough to determine if it’s good. You’d have to write episodics analyzing every last detail of each episode before you can scratch the surface of such a holy and radiant anime.
But enough of that! What I wanted to do was watch a random episode of a random show and see if forcing a “in media res” would tell me anything about the show in question.
I also just wanted to watch Naruto.
Nichijou
Posted: July 21, 2011 Filed under: Anime 35 CommentsI was taking beam profiles at work on Monday when suddenly, I just had to watch the new opening of Nichijou. When I looked it up just now, I watched it six times before I could tear myself away from Youtube. That makes fifteen views today.
I managed to get through my entire Nichijou screenshot folder while looking for a header picture. I can vividly remember each scene/screenshot and I burst out laughing several times.
But enough of how much I like Nichijou. On to something more interesting: how much I LOVE Nichijou.

Anime Expo 2011: A Picture Adventure
Posted: July 7, 2011 Filed under: Other 48 CommentsFirst, let me apologize to the people at AX who had to see my ugly mug. Second, I’d like to apologize in advance for not taking enough pictures. The third mistake is that I shouldn’t have ever been born. The fourth is that I just made a lame SZS reference and nobody will get it.
Also the pictures are huge. But I’ve already shrunk them by 50%. Imagine how big they were before.
