Ah.. Twin Drives.

“Shoujo” type series
Maria-sama ga Miteru 4th
Skip Beat!
Shounen/Mixed
Maria+Hollic
Kidou Senshi Gundam 00 Season 2

Yudothat Anime, Anime Review, Random

See the end of the post for link to the gallery.

Well it is day two of anime Wasabi and we currently have three of our four admins here on site. The day didn’t really begin till 4:00PM. Once we got here we had plans of picking up pictures of cosplayers before the Cosplay Contest. Unfortunately it had already started before we arrived. However, we did get lots of footage of cosplayers when cruising the hallways. Overall though the convention has been fun, at first we were a bit skeptical but Wasabi is looking promising and there will probably be a chance that we will be returning next year.

We’ll be  uploading pictures to Here or it can be found in the Wasabi 09 album in the convention gallery.

Yudothat Wasabi 2009

In a tradition we are now dubbing the Smut Scanathon, where the admins here at AR purchse shameless porn doujinshi from conventions and scan them onto their computers so they keep them in mint condition forever, we have done it again. None of this is distributed online or outside of the personal network, it is just for backup purposes. Last year at NDK 2008 we did the exact same thing after the convention, this time we are doing it during the con since we are not actually staying at the hotel Wasabi is at(we are just attending Saturday for the pictures and friday we hit up the dealers room). Between 3 people, as I didn’t feel inclined to purchase any, there was over $350 spent on doujinshi and publications. Thats a lot of smut!

This is gundam 00

This anime season is almost over and that means that a new one will be starting. In passing it has brought us
a few note worthy titles like, Gundam 00 Season 2, Asu no Yoichi!, Maria Holic and of course some of the on going series such as Skip Beat! and Tales of the Abyss as well as some series that may have been better off not making an appearance ( Zettai Shogeki: ~Platunic Heart~) but lets not focus on the bad. Below is a look at some of the up coming shows of possible interest.

No pick of the week for this week or last week. Sorry, really busy and just exhausted as of lately. I will have a really good post up for next week though! This week I am trying to actually start sleeping and cut back on the caffeine so I should be a lot more consistent with my junk later on

This has to be some kind of a sick joke. Seriously, WHAT THE SHIT IS THIS SHITTY SHIT!

Hardwicke: Hey, I think there’s going to be an anime version of this in Japan. So you will be an anime character.

This is a terrible idea! Other than the motivation of money there is no reason to make this book(Opinions withheld as to not piss off anybody)!

I just vomited in my mouth a little

User SteelFan714 posted over at Gameist a pretty interesting article. If you go to conventions, you can easily relate to this and agree with every level of his hell as according to dante.

Head on over there and take a look as some of these cosplayers are sadly present at every con in history.

We <3 this show!

Welcome to the first week of March! You have survived up until February and if you follow anime as it airs in japan like I do, you must be ripping your eyes out by now as this season has been full of terrible fucking shows with only a few exceptions.
