Howl’s Moving Castle

21 July, 2005 (00:00) | Anime, Movies

Howl’s Moving Castle is the latest Studio Ghibli release from acclaimed Japanese director Hayao Miyazaki. Dustin and I saw the film with its original Japanese dialog and subtitles at one of the theaters here in town.
Overall, I have mixed feelings about the movie. It was as beautiful as Spirited Away and as mysterious [...]

Samurai Champloo 18 has just been released from Animeforever. Head over to their site for the bittorrent link and let the downloading goodness begin. Plus, go buy the first DVD if you haven’t already!

Samurai Champloo - Just Another Reason to Love RightStuf and Geneon

6 January, 2005 (00:00) | Anime

I ordered Samurai Champloo from Rightstuf.com a while back when I was ordering some other anime, mostly to push my total high enough for free shipping. One of the things I like best about RightStuf is they don’t charge you for preorders until they actually ship the items. So a few days ago [...]

Apple + Anime = You Certainly Can’t Afford It

15 December, 2004 (00:00) | Anime, Applefangirl

So we all know that Apple came out with a U2 version of the iPod. I’m sure all seven of the people that own one think they are really cool. Now, however, a truly limited “limited edition” iPod is coming out in Japan from Bandai. Somehow, Bandai got Apple to agree to [...]

She’s Alive!

5 December, 2004 (00:00) | Anime

It may surprise you to learn that I am indeed still alive and have not fallen off the face of the planet, at least not yet. I’m been busy with life, work, and my newest addiction–writing fanfiction. Plus nothing much exciting has been happening and even the anime world is moving slowly this [...]

Fullmetal Alchemist

7 November, 2004 (00:00) | Anime

Finally! Fullmetal Alchemist premiered on Cartoon Network last night. I hope you all watched it and now have your Tivos, Replays or (Heaven forbid) VCRs set up to record it every Saturday. While I tend to strongly dislike the English dub of most anime, Funimation did a pretty good job. The [...]

Worst… Ending… EVER….

28 September, 2004 (00:00) | Anime

Okay, okay. Maybe not worst EVER, but it definitely did not fall into either “massive bloodshed” or “fuzzy happy love for everyone” which were really the only two endings I wanted to see. For those of you who are confused, I am referring to the ending episode of InuYasha. Yes, it’s over. [...]

The Inuyasha Movie Experience

The Inuyasha Movie Experience
Yes, experience. Viz had free showings of the first Inuyasha movie in theaters across the country. Dallas happened to be one of the lucky places to get the movie. So, since we had been planning a trip to Dallas anyway, we went. The movie was ok, I’d seen [...]
