(Looks across at shelf) They are beautifully made books, aren't they!

I mean that I don't think KyonAni makes anime to tell some kind of message Ah, OK. Well, I wouldn't want to admit that I was watching them just for the moe, unless... Actually, there's another aspect of this, related to my past and my age. Without wanting to come over as maudlin, I can ...

Good though it is, I feel there's altogether too much Asuka around the place, so I at least will keep the faith (along with riffrafffibonacci and Blue Monday).

I think you are looking too much into KyoAni shows. How much is too much? - not that I even knew which they were until I followed up from your comment. I liked Haruhi a lot, Chu-2 was pretty good but may not go well into a second series, and Nichijou was a waste of time once you've seen Nono be...

It would be beyond devious (and a waste of effort) to keep a name tag separately and sew it in to a suitable shirt just for this purpose. And 14 years is nothing; I have older shirts than that which I use routinely.

So I finished Chu-2 , or to give it's full English name: Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions . The main show, that is; I haven't watched the introductory Lite episodes or the Depth of Field bonus episodes yet - I may come back to then another time. http://cassland.org/images/EG/JustPinkies....

But facts aren't everything...

I don't speak Spanish; but with the help of several translation services and a little imagination I have thrown together a reasonable-looking English translation of the missing Stage 95 from the available Spanish version. Here it is for anyone who wants it: Stage 95, Spanish -> English =========...

That's right; volume 14 will end it (and the end of the 3-in-1 printing will be a 2-in-1 I guess). There are 156 pages to go in this volume (a dozen or so less than previous volumes).

I love headless Kaworu just joining in.

I changed my avatar just five minutes after the time to start the ball rolling. I may even have had a glass of whisky at the same time.

Some people didn't notice, and Reichu resorted to posting spoilers to prove to them that it was OK.

My sympathy - I know the feeling!

Look after yourself.

The Manga UK DVDs continue to have very poor timing for their subs, barely keeping them on screen for the length of the dialog (especially in the wordier sections), and often being a syllable or so adrift-- fansubs were never as sloppy as this. The subbing was bad enough that my wife -- not...

Shinji doesn't look happy as Shamshel, does he!

The really worst part is, that the female friend lives with me in the same flat. And so, there they are lying in the room next to me cuddling You are Marten Reed in Questionable Content ! - well, actually, you seem to have it worse for now, but there are some parallels in the situation. I hope you ...

an OLD SKOOL super robot show called brave fighter reideen. Yuusha Raideen ; sadly less than half of it is available with fan subs - which is a bit of a bummer because when it was first released in the USA in 1976 the whole show had subtitles, but they seem to have vanished without trace. Deep it i...

I like RahXephon a lot. There's not as much mind-fuckery as in Eva, and it moves more smoothly to its ending, but I think it's a mistake when people simply dismiss it as a copy of Eva (which in many respects it isn't).

It's a login ban, so if the IP is used, it's only for that, not for anonymous access. But the account is certainly banned anyway, because it prevents logins from any IP.

Different crowd. Nerv's dummies are Rei; Seele's dummies are Kaworu. Remember when he says to her "we're the same"?

I reject the idea that we must not negatively judge 3.33 because 4.44 isn't out yet. Each movie should stand on it's own to a certain extent and is worthy of praise or criticism in and of itself in what and how it tells its story and how well it connects to the rest of the series. And to me...
