As of this writing, there are now 3 people (other than myself) who signed up for the forum! Banzai! There’s are also a whopping 5 posts from someone other than myself, so I’ve surpassed my goal for the month. As Kohaku would say in Melty Blood, “Hey Posters! Come On!” I’m still trying to decide…

For those of you who didn’t already notice, I added a new forum section above – I have a mySQL database as part of my package deal, and I thought I’d put it to use. I’m hoping to get a post or two a month (not including mine, of course). I had to change a…

idprism sent me a link to a curious flash game about a girl who loses her head. It reminds me a bit of Myst in terms of gameplay. The game is pretty fun and the music is cool, so check it out now. OniEdge sent me a links to a twisted Love Hina dating sim,…

For those of you who missed out on the celebration, go take a look.     I couldn’t help but notice how Faury from Shadow Skill is similar to Raquel from Scrapped Princess. Things they share in common: long dark hair, “big sister”-type, use of magic for their attacks, and large shoulder pads. I wonder if…

I know most people have other things that are more important in mind, but for those of you with nothing else to care about, Kitchen Discotheque is now 1 year old. Yay! It grew a lot more than I originally expected, and I can only say that I am quite pleased with the results. I…

This is not to say that there aren’t mallets with numbers or other labels (Kaori’s mallets in City Hunter usually have numbers on…

For those of you who haven’t been keeping up, there is a lengthy debate over at Revolve Translations over terminology used in Tsukihime, Melty Blood, and Fate/Stay Night. Talented translators are still needed… I also ran across a page of links for the various OS-tan with a funny caption at the top: “This site is…

My DSL was out for a bit, so I decided to add to the content of the site. I added Combustible Campus Guardress to the Favorties section. I also discovered a new spatula and a new tidebreaker. Finally, I give you the Pic of the Week.

It’s been a while since I’ve really been into any shows on TV – most of the stuff out there is blah (yes, I do watch stuff other than anime). I happened to be at a friend’s house a couple months back, and we were doing a bit of channel surfing, when we ran across…

Usually, one comes across fractured English in anime for various reasons. In some cases, the animators simply go crazy on the keyboard. The first picture below is from Airmaster; the subsequent two are, respectively, from Read or Die and Prince of Tennis.       If the animators actually intended for those particular strings of letters…
