ARIA the Animation Review

ARIA the Animation
Synopsis
On the planet Aqua lies the watery city of Neo Venezia, a tourist hub in which people travel...
Heso Matsuri
The rather curious tradition of the Hokkaido Bellybutton Dance (Heso Odori) began about thirty-five years ago. It was decided that a town festival was needed, in order to unify and energize Furano's people, who are spread over a large area. Inspired...

This is probably the shortest SDCC post ever, but I haven’t done much besides sitting table really. :D

Suguri Perfect Edition PC Game Giveaway
I’ve never been one to have the luck of the Irish when it came to winning contests based on random drawings. But something inside me said to go ahead and try. And who am I to ignore myself?
The contest is for a Shooter style Japanese indie game cal...
CANAAN EP 03
Last week, we were left with a cliffhanger to the scene with Hakkoo-in-cat-suit and she’s under the moonlight. What would her role be in this episode? Do we get to see more of Maria as well? Any more groping scenes such as lat week’s episode?
Moar ne...

SMASH!, K-ON! and MR.BRAIN
So Smash! at the UNSW University is coming up in a couple of weeks but aside from that, things have been a little quite on the anime/manga side of things for me. I hope to get to the convention but can't be sure until that weekend (I'd seriously go j...
U.S. Immigration - Green Card
In most of my posts I discuss going to Japan but this time I want to discuss the opposite-- getting into the U.S., via Immigration and Naturalisation Services, otherwise known as INS. During the past few months my wife and I have been in the process...

Stupidity, naiveté, and how I sleep at night
Another ‘random dump’ post. As such, the image has absolutely nothing to do with the title of the post, or it’s contents. Here’s the source, though, if you like it. The original caption for the image goes something like ‘I wouldn’t like it if someone...
Conan O’Brien Dubs Anime!
In this hillarious video Conan O’Brien visits Bang Zoom Studios and dubs some scenes from Ghost In The Shell. If you haven’t seen it yet watch it! I would love to see Conan and Andy do some real dubbing for anime though.
Should Conan O’Brien Dub Anim...

Review: Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei [Anime]
Plot:
Itoshiki Nozomu is the world’s most negative person. To his way of thinking, there is no hope or meaning in this existence. Even the three kanji of his name become the two-kanji word zetsubou, “despair”, when compressed. What an ironic twist o...

Korean War
