• On Go watch the Durarara!! anime trailer right now at 11/18 11:56pm

  The question is, will it buffer?

• On Releases of the week - 11/17/2009 at 11/17 3:38pm

  Lack of blu-ray anime is annoying. I can get better quality fansubs so buying the DVD is kinda pointless unless its some cool limited edition box. And when there is a blu-ray version, it's never more fancy than just giving the HD version of each episode on a single disc (and really slim on special features). I want both: some limited edition swag or fancy box or something and the HD version... But I guess they can get more money if they release 4 episodes per disc and have like 6 or 7 releases. Its always about the money ~_~

• On Leona Lewis is singing Final Fantasy XIII's English theme at 11/16 8:11pm

  Both songs are good. But what I care more about is that if they will pack the Japanese dub in the PS3 version at least. It probably won't happen though.

• On Proof that Japan doesn't always have better box art at 11/10 10:17pm

  I have to wonder who commissioned this. It was probably Sony but man the art looks more Western than anything. The game engine is so much better than this I don't see why they felt it would appeal more.

• On Is this the end of the Japanese language? at 11/10 10:12pm

  I try to write proper English at all times (IM, email) because I know if I don't practice enough doing it right, I will forget. It appalls me when I see people write to me in text speak and I see this more often from younger people than me (I am not that old though :P) and with mobile technology this is sadly not going to go away. I'm just conservative about this stuff I guess but I hate losing anything even though it was of no value or is replaced with something equivalent... it will never be like the original.

• On Rumor control; Greeeen is not breaking up any time soon at 11/06 00:27am

  More interesting is that they never shown their faces in either the media or their own music videos and have actors lip-sync in their place. In 「扉」 (tobira) for example, it's a bunch of funny looking gaijin. At least it's clear it's not them.
  
  Band member Hide explains that "after all of the members pass the prefectural examination in dentistry and receive permission from the directors of the hospitals they work for, the group may consider a public appearance." (Wikipedia)

• On This is happening: Hideo Kojima and Neon Genesis Evangelion creator judging a Twilight art contest at 11/03 01:30am

  Oh no he didn't. Kojima pulled another Kojima.

• On Weekly Otaku Debate: Kimi ni Todoke vs Toradora! at 10/30 8:05pm

  Kimi ni Todoke. HANDS DOWN.
  
  I prefer something genuine over superfluous.

• On First Impressions: Tokyo Dogs at 10/28 9:39pm

  A very big MEH. Very disappointed :(
  
  The show tries too hard to be serious and fails miserably. What the hell was that scene where the guy was trying to vomit? It was so clear it was fake/forced and other scenes when they were fighting... The problem is that most of it does not come off comical to me. I watched about half of the show and I couldn't keep going knowing I had Kimi ni Todoke queued up after it. Not sure if I will want to see the rest :( I guess actors don't make the movie this time around.

• On Kimi ni Todoke 04 discussion at 10/28 9:32pm

  @Brad That's real dedication right there XD
  
  I also can't wait to see how things turn out. It's one misunderstanding to another... I hope she will try to voice her reasoning in the next episode. There is only so much I can take of these agonizing moments >

• On Meet Dr. Nakamats, the world's oldest Japanese inventor at 10/28 6:34pm

  Ahh, funny guy. And methinks Red has the theme down alright.

• On IGN tells us who the top 25 most popular anime characters are at 10/28 6:23pm

  I agree with the pic above.

• On First Impressions: Fairy Tail at 10/28 6:14pm

  lol, agree with you Dale... especially about "People are still going to compare this to One Piece." I dread such conversations too... whatever, right?

• On Canada invades anison industry with a flying HIMEKA attack at 10/24 10:43pm

  Well I didn't have to look further, there was an article on her in the Montreal Gazette ^^; http://www.montrealgazette.com/entertainment/Quebec+singer+Catherine+Onge+gives+Japanese+anime+voice/1972369/story.html

• On Canada invades anison industry with a flying HIMEKA attack at 10/24 10:35pm

  I had now idea know there was a French Canadian artist who is rising to stardom in Japan. Really happy to learn about this but I find it odd I didn't hear about it even though I live in Montreal.
  
  Note that speaking French helps a lot for developing a proper Japanese pronunciation (speaking with experience here) but going all the way to Japan and trying to go big there... you need some serious courage and perseverance. You go girl!

• On Kimi ni Todoke 03 discussion at 10/22 9:45pm

  I bet you it's the girl who transferred to the school just because of Kazehaya (also the one who helps her pickup the sheets Sawako dropped) and is totally jealous of Sawako that she is getting more attention than her much more pretty self. She will appear to her to be friendly therefore Sawako would protect her if they say it's her that started the rumors. But in reality it's her who spread the rumors saying she heard them from Sawako.
  
  I would find it very odd that Ayane and Chizuru would be fooled to believe it's Sawako and they are the ones who will get to the bottom of it. Or Kazehaya.

• On Why Kimi ni Todoke is setting itself up to be one of the best romance anime in a long while at 10/20 11:16pm

  The style of the show reminds me very much of Kare Kano (His and Her Circumstances). The OP and the ED songs are great too. It's really one of those shows that I watch with a constant smile and really feel I'm part of the show and sharing the same experiences... it's exhilarating and very rewarding. The show of the year, no doubt about it!

• On Goodbye, Spiral race at 10/16 11:50pm

  New guy? I think I like him.

• On Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker will utilize Vocaloid software at 10/14 6:49pm

  Um. What? Weapons voices? It would of made more sense to use it on non-main characters to created more random dialogue without needing to record any of it and save on space, but using it for weapons seems ridiculous.
