Yes, truly — your prayers have been answered! Somehow we’ve found time amidst everything else to turn those audio records of the depths of our pain into blog posts. In a comment on the last post, Blue-Ultimate makes a fair point — maybe the translation we’re using isn’t always the most accurate. Somehow, though, I [...]

Real-life obligations necessitate that I rearrange my blogging activities a little. Really, I should’ve done this a long time ago. This doesn’t mean that worlds shall end and others shall be born from their ashes or anything; it just means that you’ll see posts of mine in different places than have been usual thus far: [...]

By the time you see this, dear reader, the three of us will be waiting in line to pick up our Otakon badges (albeit perhaps at different places in said line). Yay? And, hopefully, the presentation we’re meant to deliver on Friday should mostly be done by then. Hopefully. Perhaps you’re in that line, too, [...]

The sphere’s abuzz with news of the impending closure of One Manga, one of the more prominent English-language manga scan sites, and my personal favorite. But of course the sphere never buzzes at a single pitch. The reactions of those I’m following on Twitter have thus far proven predictably varied: OneManga’s shuttering up too. Not [...]

Miyafuji/Perrine, amirite? Which is to say, welcome to another installment of our most self-sacrificing of team features! This episode was kind of boring, I think. But fear not — such things have never stopped us before. And, anyway, if the next episode preview is to be believed, great things await us just ahead. We need [...]

As I remembered this show being incredible, and as it’s on my list of things to buy at Otakon, I figured I’d give Toradora! another watch to fill in what holes exist in my memory. And because things like random rewatches basically mean free blog content, I decided to take some notes as I watched. [...]

And so it continues. We heft the cross of Strike Witches — a cross so weighty with teenage undergarments that even Zac Bertschy hasn’t energy enough to lambaste it thoroughly — yet again. But this time, we’ll have the aid of the stalwart OGT, who, being a sound strategist, seeks refuge in numbers. Below, you’ll [...]

Pardon my recent lack of connectivity. These things happen, I suppose. But perhaps you might like to know what sorts of things I’ve been doing in my internet absence (still ongoing, at the moment). Yes, this is one of those posts, wherein the blogger simply provides a list of recent activities, but I’ll try to [...]

I haven’t been doing much in the way of nerdy Japanese media consumption. This will be rectified next week, when epic readings will be filmed (belatedly) and Slayers will be…thonned, I guess. But, for now, I have some thoughts on how different fans choose to interpret things, which may (or may not) interest you. I won’t [...]

Rejoice! After last week’s Brocast absence, we have regrouped and managed to produce something that might be somewhat interesting. If ever you were intrigued by classic JRPGs, dark tokusatsu shows, or Genshiken’s ridiculous meta strategies, I invite you to indulge in our most recent aural pursuit. Brocast 5/30/2010 (19:34, 22.9MB) Topics and links after the break. Intro: I [...]
