    Happy Birthday
  • On This backpack commercial is...err... at 11/16 00:13am
    too be fair...its not a bad commercial. Its really weird, but its not awful.
  • On Why Naruto should be over at 11/15 11:41pm
    The anime has been so horrible in quality since the fillers I just couldn't stand watching another ep. The manga is better by far, but man is it having some real explanation issues. Naruto is waaay to overpowered, resulting in overpowered bosses and really unbelievable scenes. He needs to calm down and focus his work so that it doesn't just devolve into a dbz power level thing. Over 9000 and all that.

    I disagree about sasuke. I think with him out of the picture Naruto himself has shown to be a weak character to follow. Mostly because of the love triangle thing disappearing.
  • On Fumiko's Confession short is adorable at 11/13 3:44pm
    pretty impressive quality overall...hopefully he can show this to some film festivals and get some door money.
  • On Want to try the new Ace Attorney Demo? Here's your chance at 11/13 3:42pm

  • On Sgt. Frog procures an RPG from Namco Bandai at 11/13 10:33am
    I read the title and immediately thought "crap its a ds game." One of these days I will have to fold and buy a handheld to play some good JRPGs again.
  • On Japanator Recommends: Bokurano at 11/13 10:31am
    wow way to not put the plot twist that makes this story sooo much more interesting than other mech anime/manga into the description. As I was reading this I was waiting for something that describes how the robot is run, but nothing. I guess I won't spoil it (even though its a small plot point overall), but it is moody and dark.
  • On JapanaTen: Ten most spineless male protagonists at 11/13 10:27am
    I agree with Dark completely, Manaka had so many women who totally wanted him and he never dipped his toes in to test the waters falling back on the old girlfriend instead of trying something new.

    also about Kyon...he almost bitch slapped God and she flinched. that doesn't qualify for manly?
  • On Haruhi Disappearance film length revealed at 11/11 3:03pm
    endless eight was annoying but not something to condemn the studio over. The rest of the season was just awful (except the very last ep). Either way I'm gonna see this but my expectations are lower now
  • On Why Haruhi Suzumiya shouldn't be over at 11/09 2:23pm
    I've never understood the undying love of FMP...I've seen the first two seasons and while the comedy of the odd couple is funny, its never felt like a really good anime. Its not a good comedy, its not a good mech anime, its not a good romance anime, its not a good war anime. So what is it?

    anywho, on topic. I probably posted a 7-8 paragraph response to the "Why Haruhi should be over" blog post, and then deleted it when I realized my rage typing was just one long post on how season 2 sucked. So I'm gonna rage type here instead.

    Haruhi is an open ended story that will never truly have a conclusion that anybody will be happy with. In that regard Season 1 can be the end all be all of Haruhi, much like season 34 can be.

    Season 2 was really bad though. Not for the endless eight alone mind you. The way the last episode was presented in quality and character depiction showcased everything wrong with the 13 episodes that came before it.

    The endless eight was a bad idea, and even if people say its true to the source material which I've heard people argue that, I don't think the author put out 8 books all nearly identical in presentation with the only differences being the clothing. Somebody made a really bad decision and they are actually being rewarded with decent sales from fanboys.

    Then with an amazing idea, they turn Haruhi into an all out bitch after everyone is annoyed with her because she is the cause of 8 endless episodes. She beats and berates a seemingly defenseless (more so than usual at least) Asahina through multiple episodes, she causes deadly laser beams to almost kill everyone, she then drugs Asahina and then forces Kyon to scold her (almost with his fists). My only issue with all of this isn't the fact that it happened, it was that I didn't go along with it and that is KyoAni's fault. The scenes were never directed with the potential that was showcased in the final episode where I had almost forgiven everything with how they showcased each of these characters. In that one ep, I felt like I had finally seen what this entire 14 episode long train wreck could have been. It left me optimistic for another season all while I disregarded everything that happened in the few months before.

    I can't wait for the Haruhi movie, but I'm no longer blinded by the potential. I'll let KyoAni attempt to blow me away instead of working myself up for it.

    @Lyfeforce
    Season 2 was bad only in the sense that Season 1 was great. If I had to judge the show on this one season, it would have been mediocre. And to be honest that might just be worse than being bad.
  • On Disappearance of Haruhi Film Release Date Announced at 11/03 3:07pm
    I'm optimistic...but Haruhi season 2 is still fresh in my mind and its taste can not escape my mouth. Hopefully we won't have a bitchy Haruhi, cause I don't know if I could watch an hour+ of that (its Haruhi so I probably would, I just would leave in disgust as soon as the credits are over).
  • On The Best Thing Ever - JoJo's Bizarre Adventure at 11/03 1:56pm
    you had me at super powered pug
  • On The Best Thing Ever - 20th Century Boys at 11/03 1:48pm
    I preferred Monster over 20th/21st Century Boys. The thing that truly hurt it was the amnesia thing for me.
  • On JapanaTen: The top ten Asian-horror flicks to watch at Halloween at 10/30 4:50pm
    the host is awesome. I got to see it at a late showing during a film festival and it was totally worth it. Glad that it got picked up and released.
  • On First Impressions: Sora no Otoshimono at 10/30 4:49pm
    seems like you caught the main image inbetween motion. unless its a ghost....oooOOOOoo.
  • On Please License Bakemonogatari at 10/30 4:47pm
    I love how this article was entirely written about Senjougahara and Araragi when the entire approach of the show was how Senjougahara went out of his way to help multiple women. It plays as more of a harem anime than a romance one.

    the biggest issue this might face translation wise is the way they sexualized Mayoi and Sengoku, the two loli characters in the show. Sengoku could be played away but Mayoi couldn't. Its all about how Funi or whoever wants to represent itself during a translation. Its all harmless, but the impression is still there.

  • On First Impressions: Kampfer at 10/29 3:47pm
    god I hate the male version of Natsuru. if you're going to make a guy transform into a girl at least make the guy sound like a guy. See Birdy the Mighty if the concept is too hard to understand. It was a cute show, but with the 2nd season of Queen's Blade out I've got my fighting and fanservice more than covered.
  • On First Impressions: Fairy Tail at 10/28 10:25pm
    totally saw that first episode and I was very disappointed. I was really looking foward to this, but the animation for a first episode was probably the worst I've seen in a long time.
