First off, I’d like to put up a “WELL COME” sign and mat for any new people visiting. The left pic is from Guardian Hearts and the other is from Tenshi no Shippo Chu!.     Of course, it’s unlikely that more than a handful will stay after seeing the actual content of this site, but…

Two people, Vince and Lupin_IV, told me the other day that “The number 0.01720209895 is the Gaussian gravitational constant represented by k. The dimensions of k^2 are those of Newton’s constant of gravitation: L^3*M*T^2”. Now I know, and knowing is… good? I’d reward them by giving them some of my gmail invites, but they both…

For years, I had secretly hoped that I would some day see a proof of the Pythagorean Theorem in anime. My wish finally came true the other day when I was watching Lime-iro Senkitan. It’s fun to ponder the various equations on the board while wondering why the animators would bother. They probably knew I…

Most people don’t realize that I like to look for odd things in anime. For instance, in Mahoraba ~Heartful days~ Nanako was drawing on the wall and I thought it was neat how they had a shot of the wall from the other side.           While this in itself was interesting, Nanako’s drawing…

It’s always fun to see languages other than English become mangled in anime, as seen in the first picture on the left from Ultimate Girls.           While the other two pics from Ultimate Girls might have made it into my Ads in Anime page, I thought it was more interesting to compare the two.…

I was out eating pho with some friends the other week, and we noticed a curious sign. I looked around for an “All Your Base” sign, but I couldn’t find one. I didn’t leave disappointed though, because the iced coffee was pretty good. While I was skimming through DNA², I noticed some curious things on…

While Najica Blitz Tactics started off with high production values, as the series progressed, there was a notable drop in quality control. For instance, the following pictures are from consecutive scenes.       Stuff like this throws off my whole viewing experience. I had to stop and reorient myself from such a jarring sight. I might’ve…

Rozen Maiden is a frightening story of a boy fighting to save his soul from the clutches of a group of possessed dolls. From such a premise, it’s only natural to make a fighting game. There are some other pics on the front page of OTOUFU/MATERIAL, which Zefi! sent to me. Hopefully, they haven’t changed…

I’m sure many of you were out doing something romantic on Valentine’s Day, the internationally recognized celebration of love. I had a great day yesterday. First, I got some chocolate from a certain spirit who said, “I’ll protect you from the loneliness”.    After that, we went to a theme park and caught a few…

I thought the following pic from Kurau: Phantom Memory was neat since it’s a sight I’ve seen before.   I never would’ve imagined that some parts of California were so offensive to Japan that they had to be censored. While San Diego and other cities are clearly labled on the map from the previous post,…
