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!
It’s Miku Day and all she got from me was this lousy blog post ^_^;;. Actually it’s even worse than that, Miku Day was yesterday!
Hatsune Miku is of course the insanely popular idol originally from Yamaha’s Vocaloid2 voice synthesiser software, but she’s since been serialised in her own manga, has games released, and has even appeared in Sayonara Zetsubō Sensei (of course!).
For your consideration ^_^. If Tarale happens to come across this, she may want to avoid it because it contains a random list of confusing, disparate thoughts again!
Yes yes I know it’s painful post to read (ze grammar goggles, zey do nothing!!!), but they make a good point.
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.
I'm Ruben Schade, welcome to my labour of love mix of tech, anime, thoughts and nonsense from Singapore and Australia. Thanks for stopping by.
I'm also on Twitter, Flickr, Google Reader and lots more places.
