I reserved my copy as soon as preorders were open which was somewhere at the beginning of the fall semester for me. I’m now taking finals for the spring semester so it’s been a while. Given the various delays …

go-go-maniac

After finishing Listen!! I isolated myself in the mountains for years but finally I bring you GO! GO! MANIAC, the opening of K-ON 2. Actually that’s a lie. It’s just that the song is so long it almost felt like the years were just passing me by. That or somehow I got infected with FOXDIE. …

Nyaru-Ani-Lovecraft-Plus

With the first episode or two of the new season’s anime out it’s time to give my first impressions of all the shows I’m watching. As this will be quite text and picture heavy I’ll get started right away. Note: Series are ordered in roughly the order I enjoyed them except for the two OVAs …

Do I Like Sora no Woto?

Sora no Woto was one of my most anticipated shows of the winter season. I had high expectations of it since it was supposed to be my replacement K-ON for the season but after a couple of episodes I realized it actually wasn’t what I was wishing for. That wasn’t necessarily a bad thing but …

Searching for Otaku Firefox Personas

After something like over 2 weeks since the release of Firefox 3.6 I finally got around to upgrading. If it weren’t for a friend telling me I wouldn’t have known since Firefox never did notify me that an update was available.

Exactly two years ago I posted “my ideal family” if it were to consist of anime, manga and game characters.
