Though I tried to stay out of Axis Powers Hetalia's loop, it's getting another fifteen minutes in the limelight that's hard to miss, thanks to FUNimation's upcoming DVD release. They're releasing announcements of the dub actors each day, along with clips showing off that actor's interpretation of the character. I notice because they post it on ( Read more... )

YESSSSSS!

"[Fullmetal Alchemist's final] episode will match the final chapter of the manga."

Well, now that settles that fear.

I've been complaining about anime a lot lately, even though my recent experiences with it have been overall pretty positive. It's just a lot easier to get fired up enough to write about an annoying show, in comparison to contemplating and dissecting an enjoyable one -- not to mention, drama is more interesting. Still, I try to make it a policy not ( Read more... )

FUNimation posted the first episode of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood in English. Because I'm too curious for my own good, I watched the first ten or so minutes of it ( Read more... )

I'm noticing a slightly disturbing (or very annoying) trend with recent anime. I watched the first episode of Vampire Knight on Hulu out of morbid curiosity and was less put off by the vampire cheesiness than I was by a character I've been seeing in a lot of so-so shows lately. It's a male character who usually has a great deal of responsibility, ( Read more... )

Brief summary of Anime Central 2010 and its antics: FAIL.

Detailed summary follows below.

Dude. When did Irino Miyu learn how to act? For that matter, when did his voice finally change? I can usually spot him a mile away, but it wasn't until I checked the cast list that I found out it was him!

Now I really want to see the original Tetsuwan Birdy OVA. It had always been on my radar, but not in any stores. First of all, I want to hear ( Read more... )

FUNimation's video page is still down for maintenance iaj32mhiug9uzfnkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

What? I really, really want to see new HagaRen. It's the only show I've been good at following lately. Also, it's past the storyline from the second volume of manga, which is as far as I've gotten, so it's not like I can flip open a book to see what happens ( Read more... )

I know I'm tired and recovering from a cold, but how do I keep naturally sleeping 'til noon? I stay up 'til one, sure, but that means I should sleep until nine or so, not eleven, twelve-thirty. I can't tell if this is healthy and still recovering from all-nighters at college, or if this is unhealthy and I'm getting too much sleep since it's just ( Read more... )

RightStuf's bargain bin is amazing, did you know that? When I can buy the DVDs of an entire series for $4 each, I am a happy KL. Since they're from Iowa, it means I have to pay sales tax (grumble, grumble), but the shipping here is also crazy fast. And... $4 x a lot can equal $49+ awful fast, which makes for free shipping. Woot. I'm gonna have some ( Read more... )
