I appear to be the only person I know or have heard of that sat through all half a year’s worth of Kyouran Kazoku Nikki. It ended last Saturday with an ending as exciting as flat coke. Pity. For an anime of 26 episodes, there sure was a hell lot of pointless time wasted, resulting […]

Attendance is now in the 10,000+ range and significant enough to warrant the city putting up lightpost banners for the con. Browse the gallery from the last day.

Otakon 2008 Aftermath Part II
Okay, just a few last thoughts on Otakon 2008. The Saturday masquerade is always a must see event for me and for the most part it was a lot of fun, including the walk to the Mariner Arena and the reactions of the “normal” people on the street to a parade of cosplayers. But one […]

Toshokan Sensō - Library War Episode 8
I’ve fallen way behind in my Library War blogging.
Iku is called before a tribunal because the ratfink Sumigawa falsely named her as a collaborator. He’s unreachable at the moment, because he is allegedly sick and resting at home. Iku’s friends wonder if this is the work of the horrible Administrative Faction of the Library […]
Index will be the Show of the Season.
Toaru Majutsu no Index will be the best show of the season, mark my words. It has everything one can dream of, be it sci-fi, magic, super powers or hot girls. The animation is fluid and stylish, the seiyuu are well chosen and it’s basically a combination of a few good shows. Let’s see, it […]

Otakon 2008 Aftermath Part I
It’s been a week since I set out for Otakon 2008 and I’m still riding a post convention high. I had a lot of fun. The road trip out was pretty flawless, only some heavy rain (scary) just outside of Baltimore posed any significant problem. Checked in, picked up my registration badge, and got to […]
