Suki na Mono wa Suki Dakara Shouganai Licensed?!

Another anime that I'd thought would never be licensed has in fact been snatched up by media blasters and is scheduled to release in Oct. 2005. WTF??! I can't believe that this was licensed! Along with Onegai Twins and DearS this is the third time I've been wrong about license picks, just what is wrong with me? AM I TOO NORMAL?! A word of advice, Sukisyo is definately shonen-ai so don't watch it you guys if you don't want to have a lifelong mental scar!

High Quality Subs

Stop bitching about the high-quality subs vs. the speed subs O Ye who don't know shit about the Japanese language. Seriously buy a dictionary and let the rest of us enjoy the original Japanese.

Screenshots FYI

Here's a guide to capturing screenshots which any one of the many DVD player programs should be able to do. However, since we're cheap we need a free alternative and that is where Virtual Dub comes in. Virtual Dub is really a movie/AVI editing program but has a simple way to capture screenshots in the original size and aspect. To capture a screen in Vitual Dub all one has to do is seek to the time of the screenshot (CTRL+G, then enter the time) and then pressing CTRL+1 which will copy the screenshot to the clipboard. Then simply paste to MS Paint or something and save the image.
Aside: For those who want a bit more here are some video software that I found useful. First is Slysoft's CloneDVD2 which is intended to backup your DVDs but also makes perfectly good DVD format movies on your hard drive. After getting your movie backedup one can use Ahead: Nero Showtime to capture the screenshot from the movie using the built in feature.

AIR Movie

AIR: The Movie is available for your enjoyment, I haven't seen it yet but from the TV series this should be a touching movie.

Honey & Clover / Hachimitsu to Clover

Honey & Clover is without doubt one of the absolute best animes in a long while. Part comedy and part tragedy, Honey & Clover is a character driven masterpiece of story telling. The story follows the lives of a group of Art college students through good times and bad, and leads to a completely engrossing experience. Please please watch Honey & Clover if you haven't already.

Tadaima!

As you know from x/z, I'm back and it's great to be back. I should probably say something really interesting but the jet lag still hasn't worn off. A reminder though that this still is an anime blog so I'll come up with something to that effect real soon.

PS. Don't kid yourself, we have no fans...

A FEW MORE THINGS

1. I just realized that I may miss the next Naruto, OH GOD THE HUMANITY!!!!!!
2. The September N.A. Shonen Jump was received by me yesterday and it once again has Yugi/Yami/Pharoh on the cover, (repeat all-caps exclamation here).
3. Check out the updated Blue La Flaga with new anime dictionary functionality added to the reviews structure.

PEACE OUT, GOD IN HEAVEN ALL IS RIGHT WITH THE WORLD

Sore Ja Desu

This might be my last post for a while from BOAS since I'm going on vacation tomorrow, so I thought I'd say something inspirational... Umm I don't have anything to say, so let's have an anime archer fight! Which would win green or blue!?

P.S. Don't think you just can just stop posting X/Z (this is easier to write)

All about Gundams

There's a really sweet Wallpaper available from Ningen's on Gundam Seed Destiny so check it out on the links. Also know more than you wanted to know, but not more than me, about Gundams on wikipedia

CRACK ATTACK!

Hi Score B**CHES!

Internet Outage

My internet went out for 3 days from Friday July 22nd to today July 25th. I can't be held responsible for my lack of diligence during these trying times. God bless.

Akahori Gedou Hour Rabuge

Kind of like a prime-time happy hour mix of two mahou shoujo animes, Zettai Seigi Rabu Feromon ("Absolute Justice Love Pheromone") and Sore Yuke! Gedou Otometai ("Heretical Maidens"), both by creator Akahori Satoru. Really random and kinda funny stuff.

Tsubasa Music

The full OST for Tsubasa Chronicle is released and is very stylish indeed. Featuring the musical compositions from Yuki Kajiura who composed for the .Hack series and Gundam Seed Destiny, Tsubasa Chronicle OST lives up to its predecessors. Highly recommended for those neo-classical/japanese orchestral music fans.

Koi Koi 7

New harem anime with guns, yuri, mecha, and school girls. Avoid for your own sakes, I watched 12 minutes then couldn't continue.

Triple K shuffle K okay?

In the new summer series shuffle there is an organization with the acronym KKK, I'm not making this up, which stands for kitto kitto kaede. It's sort of like her body-guard/fanclub group; but seriously the Japanese really know how to make inappropriate mistakes. Why don't I just make up the Krazy Kristen Korean group?!

Kawaii dessho!

Isn't it cute! IT IS CUTE!!! KAWAIII!!!!

Oven Baked Potato Chips

Ingredients:
2 Russet Potatos
5 Table spoons of vegetable oil
2 Sprigs of thyme (optional)
Salt

Method: Clean and peel two well-shaped russet potatos. Once peeled cut the potatos into ~ 1 cm thick slices down the longest axis. Proceed to cut these potato slices down their longest axis until the potatos are in long narrow strips in the shape of fries. Wash the cut potatos to remove surface starch and dry. Oil a baking sheet with 3 table spoons of vegetable oil and layer the fries on the sheet to the thickness of one layer. Spead the remaining 2 table spoons of oil evenly over the top of the fries. If wanted put the 2 sprigs of thyme over the fries while baking to add extra flavor. Bake the fries at 425 degrees farenheit for 35-40 minutes turning the fries every 10 mintues. Enjoy!
