Making a quick poke in to mention that the ventrilo server has been upgraded. Life has been extremely exhausting and moving very fast since I got here in Japan, but I think after 2-3 weeks I’m finally getting a handle on life here. If that proves to be true, I’ll make an update about my adventures this weekend.
As always, we got luck, oni, and sake. Note the change in server details!

Hello fellow members of the Kingdom of Biscotti! You’re site admin and founder Komidol here! I have to thank DrmChsr and our new writer, Gorgatron, for holding things up in my absence. This season I’ve wanted to write a lot (especially about the latest episodes) about Kaiji and Nichijou – and of course the best show of the season, Dog Days, but in the end I got a just a bit too busy with my 日本 preparation. For those of you who aren’t aware, I’ll be frolicking around in Japan for the next few months. Just giving you guys word it’ll be a bit but I’ll be here again updating soon, and with some interesting pictures from Akihabara no doubt!
I know, I promised PANZER WORLD GALIENT last week, but I can’t justify introducing that show. Not until I manage to watch the first 10 episodes or something.
I can’t even justify introducing a show when I’ve done the 3-episode test, to be honest. Usually, I’d introduce a show when I’m at least halfway through, or in the case of longer shows, when I’ve watched at least 10 episodes.
Sorry about that. Galient will have to wait until next week. In the meantime, I give to you a special treat. (No, not the chibi Phillipfox)
So, you want great headphones. You are not sure what to get or how much you should invest. I am going to inform you a bit about higher grade audio knowledge known as “audiophila” and give some reviews of some equipment I’ve had/have.
Some of you may ask, “Why should I get these expensive headphones? My skullcandy’s work great…”
This is a common question. Let me answer in a few ways for you.
1: Skullcandys are a terrible piece of crap. They are for hipster 12 year olds.
Until today, I never realized that there were VOTOMS X Madoka crossovers. And some of them involve Chirico and Kyuubei. Or rather, Chiricobei.
Okay, this is probably the worst way to start an article. I mean, it’s mindboggling. One of anime’s stone-cold badasses as… … … this year’s (arguably) most evil (yet disgustingly adorable) “mascot”.
My mind, it cannot handle this crossover. It eats at my brain, not unlike the incantation to summon Cthulhu.
I can’t stand it. The notion of Chirico being Kyuubei and tricking young females into selling their souls for a short life of terrible fighting that ultimately leads to death is too much for me.
And with that said, let’s just go into the show proper, since elaborating on this is going to waste everyone’s time. Nor would it be conducive to my mental health.
Under normal conditions, I’d be cheesing away with hilariously cheesy lines and introducing some old-school anime (I had VOTOMS in mind), but terrible news I found out earlier today has shelved these plans for at least a week.
I’m not sure if working in that line from VOTOMS about Chirico, coffee and it being bitter IS appropriate here.
Ah crap. I’ll just say it.
Kawakami Tomoko, veteran voice actress, has passed on.
She was well-known as the voice of the lead character in Revolutionary Girl Utena. Some of her more recognizable roles in recent times include Kamio Misuzu from AIR, Kurata Sayuri from Kanon (for BOTH the 2002 and 2006 versions) Fuyuki Hinata from Sgt. Frog, Darker than Black’s Amber, Athena Glory from ARIA and… … … Buneary from Pokemon (I am not kidding.)
She had been suffering from ovarian cancer prior to her death.
She will sorely be missed by fans and colleagues alike.
She drank, and the coffee of death was bitter indeed.
Yes, I know I’m horrible at these obituary things. I am also horrible at having these emotion things too okay :(
It is quite the funny thing. Macross Frontier has come and gone. I’ve talked about Macross 7 at length, and I have yet to mention the show that started it all: The SuperDimensional Fortress MACROSS.
How did I ever talk about old-school shows for so long and not mention the grand-daddy of old-school shows is beyond me.
I mean, even I managed to cover Xabungle and I never mentioned MACROSS, despite it’s recent surge in popularity.
It is a terrible error of omission on my part, not talking about SDF Macross, the show that would inspire an entire generation (and quite possibly Japanese foreign policy!)
BUT ENOUGH TALK, I MUST FIX THIS MISTAKE.
LIKE.
RIGHT.
