There are thousands of detailed, obsessive anime blogs online. I guess you could say I'm a casual otaku by comparison ^^.
This is a reincarnation of my original anime and Japanese culture blog I lost in a database wipe. I had already mentioned some anime whatnot in passing on this blog previously but nothing serious. Gotta start again somewhere!
While we’re on the subject of Haruhi, I can’t wait to see the movie with English subtitles when it becomes available! From the poster though I have a couple of observation questions, or questionable observations. Wait, that first one was phrased better.
As I was walking through Borders in Wheelock Place last night taking a break from scanning (topic for a future post no doubt) and checking my tweets on my iTelephone (that just sounds wrong for some reason) @Jlist made a remark about Haruhi.
Much like science fiction and inexplicably awesome random shows like this, I tend not to watch an anime just because its in the latest season lineup. Personally I prefer word of mouth recommendations, or in the case of Omamori Himari (translated as Protective Charm Himari) if I see a hilariously bad motivational poster.
I was looking for something else entirely but came across two images from Code Geass that I’d never seen before. Looking at the fine print it references R3 Zero Requiem which I’m assuming is an OVA of some description. When I first learned all my anime terminology around 2005 I first thought OVA meant the show was… over! True story.
What does Tsumigi do after a tiring day of playing keyboards on the set of a wildly successful anime series? She endorses pickled radish!
If I saw this in a store I would definitely buy it, the only reason being that I tried this food once before and really liked it. Yeah, that’s the only reason. Judge me however you want.

The fear of finding an epic picture you want to use it as your desktop background but can’t because of its diminutive size.
Get it? Hey, I thought it was funny.

Hard hitting reporting I can assure you ^_^.
Hey, I wasn’t able to go to the Anime Festival Asia 2009 convention in Singapore that I so gleefully reported on and see the K-On! seiyuus because I was still taking exams, cut me some slack! Or perhaps in this case some stockings. Wait, that didn’t sound right. Never mind.
I’ve been studying my arse off today, so I thought I’d take a break and launch a new blog post series in the same spirit of Fun Facts, only this time they’re Anime Fun Facts! Imaginative name, right?
To start us off we have this terrible one inspired from a Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu magazine image.
Amamiya Shiina is mortally afraid of luggage.
Thank you.
