I hated the AM radio eversince i was 3 years old, because the AM radio (frequency or whatever you call it) mostly air talkshows and those kind of things bore me a lot esp. when it has no video. everytime my aunts listen to the radio everything in my mind turns gray, i dont know how to explain it, but it makes me depressed.  I thought podcasts were like these radio talkshows (considering they are talkshows and its just audio… correct me if im wrong, i think there are video podcasts?) and so I dont listen to them. But yesterday I decided to listen to O-talk a podcast for otaku by Otaku Dan and Otaku Journalist

I found this on alafista.com “The title says it all! The official facebook page for Anime Festival Asia has officially announced that this year event will be held on 11 Nov 2011. It will be a number that is hard to forget (11.11.11) !”

This is for Axcezz . Japanese anime fans forced to admit which anime reduced them to tears supply an intensely tragic ranking sure to wet the eyes of even the sternest anime aficionado.

The ranking can sensibly be divided into late-night anime (i.e. what most non-Japanese regard as the “anime” genre) and mainstream Japanese animation (i.e. animated films and cartoons) – first the late-night anime: (more…)

too busy and tired to write something up. so here is an excerpt from Otaku Dan

Holy crap! A new chart has been released listing all of the new titles for the 2011 summer anime season. Come on in and check it out.

Finally! the full PV of Diver is here, all I can provide right now is a Youtube link of the PV, no links to mp3 or mp4 yet. But still its a good find, I wasnt expecting it until next year. Diver is the 8th opening theme for Naruto Shippuuden, another great song from Nico Touches the walls. The PV is actually good. (more…)

everyone is having their profile pictures replaced with their favorite cartoons in support for childrens’ rights against violence.  A lot of friends posted really old cartoons that sent my mind back in the old days where kids are excited to go straight home to watch their favorite anime (these days they go straight directly to the internet shops…) unlike now, drama fills kids minds and so they tend to act out of their age… kids nowadays will prefer to go to malls and act all gown-upish than play outside and let their imaginations play.

By this time I should be reviewing for a quiz in differential calculus tomorrow (oooh time check: 11:29), but my mind hasn’t settled yet so I will try to make just 1 post.  Getting to the topic,  when I started developing  janime.tv FMAB was one of the series that I added first (with anime id# 10 and 6th in the list).

wow never thought I’d dig in into one of the new series like this… this is the third episode review of So ra no wo to.

the episode starts with everybody sleeping and Kanata playing the trumpet, as always she cant play it well, Kanata seems to be doing her best around the fort and seem to be somewhat weak in the first minutes of the episode. The captain is pleased that Kanata is doing all she can but Rio isnt quite well pleased because she thinks that talent does not always come out when you work hard.

Running out of supplies, the captain and the two others leaves Rio and Kanata to watch the fort. Rio then trains Kanata with the trumpet by letting her use the mouthpiece to excercise her blowing control. Kanata tells Rio that she joined the military so that she could learn how to play an instrument for free then suddenly she collapses. *flashback* Rio sees her mother (at least I think she is =P) collapsing and hurries to save Kanata.
