[Anime] Does [K-On] really warrant 3 seasons?

I’ll give Brad Rice of Japanator a Steve Jobs answer: yup. Honestly, for its intended purpose/audience its an awesome series. It’s like the Seinfeld of anime. And wait for it, the best part is: you don’t have to watch it if you don’t like it!.

Oh and Yui, it’s three, not two ;).

UPDATE: It seems someone on that story already commented about Seinfeld and K-On being about nothing. And here I was thinking I was being so original. Obviously just had a Yui moment! Hah I kid Yui, you’re awesome ^_____^;

[Anime] K-On! 08: Shinkan!

I so thoroughly enjoyed reviewing the previous episode of K-On! without really talking much about at all, I thought I’d repeat this winning recipe. Recipe, dang I could use some of their tea and cake, I wish there had been a music club like theirs when I was still in high school!

John Farnham once sang that Everything Is Out of Season (great piece of Australiana in that video by the way). No mate, just this blog post is!

[Anime] No Shine without Mugi

K-On shine

Usually I’m okay with flights, but the combined jetlag from a turbulent redeye and a late morning connection rendered me utterly incapable of doing anything productive. I try to blog at least once a day though, so I decided to comment on this K-On image now circulating.

I ask you, how can you possibly have Shine without Mugi?! She’s the best character! Perhaps she’s holding the camera. Can you get handheld piano cameras? I suppose that’d be an accordion camcorder, or an accamcorder. Hey, I like that, accamcorder. I should write an accamcorder iPhone app.

[Anime] It started as a Senjoughara figure post

Sometimes you can forgive yourself when you miss a news story, other times you want to hit your head against the wall with a sledgehammer. That sentence made no sense. Her Senjougharaness is now available in figure form!

[Anime] Bakemonogatari 13

It’s been almost five months since I last watched an episode of Bakemonogatari, so I figured I’d rectify this situation on this lovely Sunday afternoon.

[Anime] A new K-On character with a… tuba!?

In case you needed another reason to obsess over the up and coming second season of the moe-blob-but-still-awesome music anime K-On, there’s going to be a new character called Miura Akane-chan.

[Anime] Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya

The Haruhi movie poster

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.
