• On Watch the UK Arrietty trailer and weep if you're American at 07/04/2011 17:18

  I'm still struggling to understand the need for two English language casts. Why don't they just sell the British version in the US? Is there something I'm missing? Oh wait, I'll just import it...

• On But does the Char Aznable moped go three times faster? at 05/31/2011 10:24

  ...wtf?

• On Releases of the week: Chobits in HD edition! at 05/11/2011 04:05

  @ Catanon
  I'm with you, I still have yet to see it, so this is an excellent opportunity.

• On Baccano! Blu-ray confirmed for US: May 17th at 03/29/2011 20:17

  I ALMOST regret buying the DVD collection a few months back.
  Decisions, decisions.

• On Releases of the week - 3/22/11 at 03/22/2011 22:41

  Haruhi is a must have, and I'm also expecting the Code Geass Season one released today, since I have yet to watch it.
  Also, I can't say I enjoy the Guin Saga anime, its (to me) a hamfisted amalgam of boring cliches, and I get the impression I'm supposed to feel bad about not liking an "epic" of its sort. I hear the novels are good though so I'm about to give them a shot.

• On News flash: A-bomb jokes still not funny at 03/09/2011 23:37

  Hah. "Flash" News.
  See wut I did there?

• On Ero Week: Sundome cemented my new relationship at 01/20/2011 17:08

  Everyone who reads this is devoted to it. I don't think I can put off buying it anymore.

• On This Valentine's day, be careful not to eat your phone! at 01/19/2011 02:00

  As I saw this I unconsciously grabbed the bag of Lindt truffles I keep next to my seat, Mmmmm.

• On Ys I & II Chronicles coming in February from XSEED at 01/15/2011 15:47

  This is one of my favorite series in the world of RPG's, so this was pre-ordered for me months ago. ^^
  I've always been fond of the way stories of the world are tied together in the Y's saga, with characters going separate ways then reuniting in later adventures. It really added to the sense of Adol and Dogi being wanderers, and it helped define the series as something different than the typical dungeon crawls released in the same era. Playing through a storyline with a definable history was a welcome change of pace.
  Also, I am very glad for the hints options in the manual. I recall spending quite a few hours on Y's I and II trying to find a clue, and I think a hint option will help a new age of very busy people enjoy this.

• On Berserk coming to the big screen at 01/05/2011 18:11

  Its a crime to the industry that shows with strong story and character growth like Berserk are barely able to get release. I've endured many years for any news like this, while wading through an amalgam of trash moe cliches.

• On News flash: Nintendo owns the rights to everything at 12/24/2010 17:03

  You guys recall that whole fiasco in the NES era with Wisdom Tree?
  This is Nintendo fighting back against religion!!!
  In all seriousness, its probably as others have pointed out, they're making an Amaterasu game and they want to protect their rights to that version of the goddess.

• On Stabbing rampage harms innocent bus passengers in Ibaraki at 12/19/2010 15:21

  Politicians associating this with otaku culture in 3... 2... 1...

• On Rejoice freaks: Tokyo governor says otaku have warped DNA at 12/18/2010 15:10

  Being called a freak by someone like that is a compliment I think.

• On FFFUUU-- Part 2: Tokyo anti-loli bill passes for real at 12/15/2010 14:48

  @Halidar While I can agree that some things are better left unseen, they will never actually disappear. Enforced regulation can help in some ways, but when its this vague it does nothing at all but transition an entire medium into the black market. Its the same justification as saying, "Weird porn shouldn't be seen, so all movies are bad by default." You can even make the argument that its not worth the trouble anyway. Something truly bad, if most people were to stumble upon it, would just be avoided. If a person truly enjoyed the deeper levels of depravity, they would seek it out, and they would find it, without fail. Worst case, maybe make their own. Just something to ponder.
  On to the point, I'm still not overly worried about this. Its tragic, but an industry with that pumps that much money into the (struggling) economy will not be troubled by this too long. Simply moving headquarters is the most obvious and drastic step, but even restricting their sales as per the law will start some pretty noticeable waves in the market. I have faith in Kadokawa's push back.
  tl:dr: This sucks.

• On Put the paintbrush to your eye: new Okamiden trailers ftw at 12/15/2010 11:12

  My first smile of the day.

• On Contest: Win some anime to share for the holiday season! at 12/14/2010 20:26

  I think my favorite gift was Earthbound for the SNES. I still love that game.
  I'd give my second copy to my friend Gourry. http://gourry.wordpress.com/

• On FFFUUU--: Tokyo's anti-loli bill passes in commitee at 12/13/2010 10:49

  @deathbymoe
  No, nobody will lament their passing. The true sadness comes from the fact that the bill is so vague, and depends entirely upon the evaluation of politicians who have been obvious with their extremely conservative (and lets be honest, ignorant) views of the world. The whole argument of loli-is-child-pornography is only a foot in the door for them to use a vague bill to force their extreme views into law.

• On FFFUUU--: Tokyo's anti-loli bill passes in commitee at 12/13/2010 10:06

  I'm not overly concerned with this actually. It is, of course, a horrible precedent, an insult to free speech and rights to harmless entertainment, but business will eventually trump it. As bobmarleypeople joked, it wont take long for companies that actually want to create freely, or continue to make their usual profits to relocate, since this is only a city ordinance. Even considering the vast amount of businesses in Tokyo, a large market moving out will be noticeable, and a blow like that isn't something politicians in other areas will be anxious to repeat having seen Tokyo's example.

• On Lotteria's Tower Cheeseburger makes KFC's Double Down sad at 05/08/2010 18:47

  Ughck!

• On Final Fantasy IX's PSN port is almost complete at 05/06/2010 16:05

  My least favorite FF game ever played, and the only one beside XI (if that counts) that I never bothered to finish.
