Presenting: 1st Monthly WTF happened to my Manga? Feature

Matt | February 7, 2010 | 11:28 pm

After a late night talk with Neko, I decided that you know, I live in the boonies, and interenets are slow in the boonies ergo internet video sucks in the boonies. Rather than post a preview of next season (BTW, I’m on summer ‘09 NOW), I’ll do the most difficult thing to do: Figure out which is better, the manga or the anime.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NEKO!

I Got you a Miko for your Birthday. Enjoy Responsibly.

I noticed that it’s the Solstice today, and that means it’s Neko’s Birthday. I believe that this means Neko is OVER 9000 today, and that he also is now king. Well, at least until the 22nd rolls aroun. So everyone, please wish this man a Happy Birthday today, because he deserves it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NEKO, AND MANY MORE!

Season Halftime: Nyan Koi!

Made a pot of tea about one hour and a half ago, and I haven’t drunk one sip of it while watching episodes 3-6 of Nyan Koi! just now. So I shall try and find a reason why I forgot to drink my tea.

Lag’s impression of Black★Rock Shooter – Red☆Bee Stinger.

First series to be caught up to is Tegami Bachi. Unlike the frantic marathoning I could have hinted to in my post on batch watching/blogging from a couple of days ago, I took it relatively slowly, two episodes a day.
Either way, let’s see how well the working bees have fared so far.

The Compromise of Batch Watching/Blogging

iqdb is not functional, so I can't locate the source of this image. At least danbooru doesn't seem to have this picture.

Michael from Low on Hit Points hit on a very interesting subject that I feel very strongly about: weekly watching. It’s funny, because I often talked about it before and also tried explaining a certain Rule 7, which might ring a bell with some of the long-time readers here.

Anyway, I feel everything Michael in almost the same way. But perhaps I should add a little of my background as well (which is why I didn’t want to spam his comment box too much with my personal ramblings.)

Fall ‘09 Belated First Impressions Part 3 (end)

nekosasu | November 10, 2009 | 12:34 am
Reminds me, I still need to catch up to Yakitate!! Japan. ...wait, I already did long time ago. Crikey.
TSUKAI FURUSARETA 'AISHITERU MO'

Reminds me, I still need to catch up to Yakitate!! Japan. …wait, I already did long time ago. Crikey.

As predicted, I had a wonderful week-end… outside of my room, mainly. And I quite like it. :P

So yeah, delays and stuff, and yet another week breaks in this fall season… either way, here is -finally- the last batch, with Sora no Otoshimono, Letter Bee, The Sacred Blacksmith, Railgun, Winter Sonata and Yumeiro Patissiere. Late comer: Kaidan Restaurant swiftly joined the fun, too.

Enjoy!
