Watching the end of Ouran Gakuen Host Club last night, I realized one important thing that I should have known all along: Fujioka Haruhi is better than Suzumiya Haruhi. This post will be rather incoherant as my fanboy levels are high and my time ...

On Sky Girls and Strike Witches

nobody@vox.com(Pirrip) — Tue, 29 Aug 2006 14:45:48 -0400

Tis the season for mecha musume. Gonzo and J.C. Staff each have OVAs capitalizing on the popularity of moe girls and mecha. Millions of otaku cry out in helpless subservience as they bow down to their twelve year old masters. Enter Strike Witches...

Honey and Clover II Op Single Review - Yuki is Insane

nobody@vox.com(Pirrip) — Thu, 10 Aug 2006 23:55:05 -0400

I've been listening to the Honey and Clover II OP single by Yuki, and it's great even if she is at the top of PETA's shitlist for beating the Cheshire cat mercilessly in the Fugainaiya PV. If you haven't seen it, watch it now. The album consis...

Otaku Warfare

nobody@vox.com(Pirrip) — Thu, 10 Aug 2006 15:22:42 -0400

I was speaking to an uninitiated friend today about anime figures (which will spawn another post sometime I'm sure), and the Haruhi bunny girl concert figure came up. I knew about the figures existence and its rarity, but was unsure of the price a...

nobody@vox.com(Pirrip) — Sat, 05 Aug 2006 00:24:40 -0400

It's been a while since I last wrote a post, mostly because I lost interest in writing about Genshiken even though I love it so; I'll make this quick. I Have to wake up in five hours and blog at the most inappropriate times Ogiue draws Sasahara...

Genshiken Volume 6 Summary & Review: Part 1

nobody@vox.com(Pirrip) — Wed, 26 Jul 2006 01:38:33 -0400

Today Genshiken volume 6 enjoyed its American release, and it is very, very good. Character development is the name of the game in this volume, and it's even funnier than the rest of the series, if that is possible. I'm going to go through chapte...

School Rumble: Popularity Poll & Lala

nobody@vox.com(Pirrip) — Mon, 24 Jul 2006 11:22:36 -0400

There are a few universal truths of School Rumble: Tenma, Harima, and Hanai are idiots, Karasuma is an alien, and Lala Gonzales is the best character. Many don't share in this belief of mine, and the recent character popularity poll doesn't r...

4chan can be so cruel.

nobody@vox.com(Pirrip) — Sat, 22 Jul 2006 23:15:32 -0400

I'm feeling a bit under the weather, so this isn't much of a post. If it was on Wikipedia, it'd be a stub. Perhaps I'll have something better tomorrow. Of the things to know about 4chan, the most important to keep in mind is that it is anonymo...

Honey and Clover: Movie and Anime Comparisons

nobody@vox.com(Pirrip) — Fri, 21 Jul 2006 12:44:21 -0400

Another comparison between anime and film: I'm a one trick pony. Let's begin with Ayu. The radical difference is too heartbreaking to even comment on, so let's move on to the other love interest, Hagu. There are no complaints to be had about ...
