Taking a Decade Old Anime Otakuness Test
If I didn’t think it looked horribly wordy I would have subtitled this post “Stepping into a past decade before exiting the current one” or something similar. Thanks to Shance I rediscovered the Anime Otaku-ness Test 200, a 200 question assessment of one’s otaku power-level. The test is terribly out-of-date but I think it is …

Kämpfer: Shizuku Made My Day
Yesterday as part of my continuing project to catch up on all the anime I want to watch/have fallen behind on I marathoned the first 11 episodes of Kämpfer. Did I expect to be wowed by superb writing? No. Did I expect to be thoroughly entertained? Yes and I was.

Winter 2010 Anime Outlooks: Finally Time to Watch My Backlog?
Now that the fall season is wrapping up it’s time for my quarterly look at what I’ll be watching in the coming season. Despite how barren a season may look I usually find plenty of shows that I feel have potential. There are a handful of titles that I’m pretty sure I’ll enjoy but otherwise …

Addiction Hits Again: Phantasy Star Zero
Wednesday Citrus and I received the most dangerous thing for us to get during University finals time. What I mean is Phantasy Star Zero. As big fans of Phantasy Star Online we knew that getting its successor in every way possible would result in our “Game Over.” I had planned to refrain from playing until …

Bayonetta First Climax Impressions
Today the demo for Platinum Games’ action title Bayonetta was released on the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Marketplace. I’ve been looking forward to trying out the game for a while especially since when I tried to download the Japanese version of the demo when it came I found out that it was limited to …

Taishou Yakyuu Musume. Hits a Home Run
Despite having a load of free time during Thanksgiving I didn’t really watch much anime even though it is customary for me to marathon a series or two. Strangely that urge to catch up came later than usual after I had already returned to school. Having caught up on Sasameki Koto for my next project …

[Lyrics] Umineko no Naku Koro ni Chiru Episode 5 Theme Song – Occultics no Majo [Ayumu]
I hope everyone in the US enjoyed this Thanksgiving. Aside from relaxing I decided to translate Umineko’s new theme song today. This one was interesting to work on but I think it turned out well. Right after the translation I added a bunch of translation notes since I noticed a bunch of stuff while working. …

Falling in Love with Touhou Videos Again
Not feeling like doing much in the day preceding my Thanksgiving holiday I spent a good chunk of time watching Touhou videos yesterday. I haven’t really watched any in quite a while so it reminded me why I love them so much. Below are some of the ones I watched in no particular order.
