Curse the blasted Sailor Moon Sailorstars volume 6 DVD first-press w/ box! Every other season at least is FINDABLE with the box, but not that one *snarl* Oh, well, can't really afford it right now, anyway, so I guess I shouldn't pout too much.

Watched the first episode of Clannad today and promptly regretted it. Not, mind you, because it's a bad ( Read more... )

Well, with the entire American anime market in a tumultuous chaotic state over the very sudden press release by Geneon USA, Inc. regarding their immediately ceasing DVD production and distribution, speculation seems to be running wild. Everyone and their dog thinks they know what happened, and I'm really surprised by a couple of things people are ( Read more... )

Well, I think I officially have my hands full right now. New job, working on reading several manga series, watching a few different anime series, trying to play through multiple RPGs at once (including the new Y's Origin, which is all in Japanese)… it's all starting to kinda blur together at times ^_^;; Oh, and I'm sick to top it all off (so's my ( Read more... )

Of things that have been happening, that is. Stayed up to watch the full lunar eclipse (yay for astronomical phenomena!) and got maimed by mosquitoes. It was worth it, though; haven't done something romantic like sitting under the stars and watching the heavens with my wife in a while ^_^ Pity that we won't be getting another annular solar eclipse ( Read more... )

That's how I've been feeling lately; this being in between jobs thing just doesn't work too well for me ^_^;; However, I have a mech anime buddy finally! I've been trying for (literally) years to get someone to watch the UC Gundam series with me (with no success), and have finally found a good friend who's interested in them. Now, if only someone ( Read more... )

As of today, my wife's been putting up with me for four years' worth of marriage ^_^ Definitely nice to have something to celebrate after the string of awful luck we've been having lately (dead car, dead dog (much sadder than car), NSF fee due to mistake balancing checkbook, etc.). I just wish I were able to sleep (too many chocolate espresso beans ( Read more... )

Some of the old stuff plus new stuff for sale / trade; a lot more coming soon! Pics of anything available upon request. Trade wishlist and e-mail info can be found here. Anime- and manga-related goods are located ( below the cut. )

Yes, to put it simply. Long-time fans of the Final Fantasy series may be shaking their heads in disbelief that Square would release yet another version of Final Fantasy 1 and 2 (and on separate discs this time, to boot!), but they've made it worthwhile. For the first time, you can actually use MP instead of being limited to usage of spells based on ( Read more... )

Okay, not really "baito" since I'm not a student any more, but work none-the-less! It'll pay the bills and (at least to a certain extent) my anime addiction, so it's all good. Best of all - benefits! I should probably wait to celebrate until after it's confirmed, but they told me they were recommending me for hire and would get back to me w/in 48 ( Read more... )

Just saw it. I would very highly recommend the soundtrack, as the music was beautiful and had excellent harmonizations. If you have the chance, go see it; it's definitely worth your time ( Read more... )
