Code Geass R2, Episode 05

Lelouch… we need to talk. Lately, I’ve been hiding a secret from you. Yeah. See, things between us haven’t been moving as quickly as they used to… we had a good thing going before this spring, but now I need someone who can really make things happen. There’s no point arguing – in fact, there’s …

Kanokon, Episode 04

I’m getting around to this episode a little late – in fact, Kanokon’s latest episode has already aired in Japan as I write this – but it took a while for Ayako to release fansubbed torrent links, and then some final exams hit me. Seriously. I know you think I was being lazy, but college …

figma.BP Lelouch Lamperouge

After weeks of waiting, it’s finally here! My Lelouch figma.BP from Max Factory/Banpresto! I don’t usually go out of my way to buy figurines, but when I saw this one on preorder sale at HobbyLink Japan back in February, I knew I had to have it. Being the huge Code Geass fan that I am, …

Code Geass R2, Episode 04

I didn’t blog episode 3 of Code Geass last week. I don’t feel very bad about that, either. Good question, Lelouch. Probably because I was lazy, just like Sunrise was last week when they decided to steal half of the episode’s plot elements from Death Note. But who am I kidding? I’ve been looking forward …

Imperium Project: Dual History

Well, I’ve officially joined Zanaikin’s Imperium Project. Although my first attempt at writing the shared history of Canan and Exam, the characters who were subsequently placed under my charge, failed hard, eventually everyone on the project agreed that its core concepts were good and could be used if I could just edit my original draft. …

Kanokon, Episode 03

Episode three of Kanokon seemed to take a strange new direction for the series. Where were the panty shots? Where was the comedy? Where were the kiss scenes, even? There were just some uninspired scenarios and some out-of-place attempts at plot and character development, and I was left wondering what had happened to the Kanokon I knew …

Kanokon, Episode 02

As I mentioned earlier, Kanokon is the second of two anime premiering this season that I intend to keep track of on a week-to-week basis. Kanokon doesn’t have anything close to the deep storyline or explosive popularity of Code Geass… but the ecchi is fantastic. I love ecchi – love love it – and Kanokon …

Code Geass R2, Episode 02

I’ve been looking forward to this week’s episode of Code Geass R2 all week long, and I’ve been looking forward to blogging it since Taishou’s creation. Geass R2 is one of two anime premiering this season that I plan to keep track of from week to week.

Sakura Matsuri

Well, it didn’t take long for things to get exciting around here. Yesterday I took a trip to Washington, D.C. with everyone from CAINE to celebrate the Sakura Matsuri (the National Cherry Blossom Festival for those who don’t Moonspeak). I’d never actually been in D.C. for Sakura Matsuri before, so I was of course excited …
