It came as a bit of a surprise to see Mizuho make a guest appearance as a scientist interested in robots in ToHeart – Remember my Memories. I never played much of the ToHeart game, so I wonder if this reference to Shizuku is just in the anime.        The picture in the middle…

Yesterday, I met up with 9 people from around the Los Angeles area to play some doujin games. Eternal Fighter Zero, Touhou Suimusou – IaMP, and Melty Blood Re•ACT were on the menu. Photographic evidence of the sordid affair is below.      I played a bit of MBR, but people started viciously kicking me…

If you can figure out why I posted the pic on the left below from Xenosaga: The Animation, then I applaud you for your knowledge of modern events. It’s kind of funny and, at the same time, kind of sad.       I suppose it would be in bad taste to show a picture of a…

I never would’ve guessed that Tamami from Mahoraba ~Heartful days~ was into Ultralow Temperature Physics until I saw a page from a book she was reading at a bookstore. Wondering if anyone talked about this, I did a quick search on Google, and I ran across a curious link (it’s mentioned halfway down the page).…

I was driving around the Hollywood area a bit the other day, and it reminded me of a picture from Phantom – The Animation. I know it’s not exactly Hollywood, but it’s relatively close. I mentioned before (May 16, 2004) that they were going to make a fighting game based on Maria-sama ga Miteru, but…

It’s always neat to see anime go “on location” especially when you live around that area. Both of these pictures below are from Touch: CROSS ROAD ~Kaze no Yukue~. I was tempted to look at Google Maps to pinpoint this location, but, I’ve done stuff like that before, so I leave it as an exercise…

In English, it’s unusual for a word that starts with q to not have the letter u next to it, but q is a bit queer in the alphabet, so it’s understandable. The leftmost pic is from Gad Guard, and the middle pic is from Burn Up Excess.      Now, the third pic from…

It seems like all the hooplah about Real Otaku Heroes has died down, so I can go back to making my 14 regular visitors go “WTF?! BBQ?!” without having to worry about paying extra for excessive bandwidth usage. As I was sorting my recent screen caps, I thought it was neat that the animators in…

As I’ve mentioned before, I think it’s fun to look for actual formulas in anime. In Aishiteruze Baby, there’s quite a bit of detail about classical mechanics. The top left picture shows the usual kinematic equations. You can’t really read the text in the top right picture, but the graph on the left is probably…

If people haven’t already stopped visiting my site after seeing the weird stuff that comes up here, then I shall deliver the finishing blow. I usually try to have a related theme in all of my posts, but sometimes it’s good to just throw out a bunch of random pics that aren’t related to anything…
