Impressions: Toradora!, Index, Druaga, Tytania and Glass Fleet

While I think of something more interesting to say, I thought I’d share some thoughts on what I’ve been watching. Really I’m sad Fall and Winter seasons are over. Now I’ve got to find more new stuff to watch.
It’s depressing. Anyways…
Toradora!: Okay everyone else is on this bandwagon, so I ought to hook my leg [...]

If you ever wondered what became of me

So it’s been a long time since I’ve written anything here.
It’s because I got a job. I am an honest-to-goodness reporter.
Yes, that means I packed up all of my stuff and drove across the country. It was an interesting experience. Maybe not one I would repeat any time soon, but it was an experience.
I’m not [...]

This is the new site

Hey this is the new site. Tell me what you think.

A New Site?

So after three months of blogger, I think I’m about to cave in. I set up a wordpress blog over at searchofno9.wordpress.com. I’m wondering what you all think. And does anyone know how easy it is to move a RSS feed over there?

Seviakis vs. Smith : My opinion

(Okay, this is the hardest part, which is why I’ve been putting it off.)
IntroductionI know calling Mr. Smith wrong is a harsh way to put it. In all honesty, I feel for the guy. He’s putting out a product that he thinks is worth selling and people are just coming along and taking it, putting [...]

A little diversion

Normally I don’t talk to much about AMVs, mostly because a majority of them look like what they are – amatuer music videos. But occasionally, I come across one that’s good. This isn’t mine. The song is by Jonathon Coulton and it’s from a series I’m going to buy now called Legend of the Black [...]

In the middle of a crisis

So really I wasn’t quite sure what I wanted when I started to write this blog. To be truthful, it all started at two o’clock one morning when I thought, “Oh hey, I should start writing an anime blog.”
And I just jumped in, feet first without clue one about what I was getting into. I [...]

Confessions of a Dub fan

So recently during all the hubbub surrounding the fansub issue, I’ve heard a lot of people make the argument “Why do they even make dubs?” or the one I like even better “Does anyone actually buy the DVD for the dub?”
Well, I have a confession to make – I’m a dub fan.
Yes, really. I actually [...]

Beating the horse dead, Anime Network Online needs to hurry up.

Okay, so I don’t know if it’s just me. But for the second night running, the Anime Network Online site has been down. Now I didn’t have any problems when I used it during the day, so I don’t know what’s up. But they seem to be getting really bogged down during PrimeTime. Or is [...]

Oh ADV, why do you taunt me so?

So when I heard about Anime Network putting up the first episode of Tengen Toppan Gurren Lagann, I was stoked. Seriously, this is what the anime blogs and the ANN forums have clamored about for the last few months. Now it isn’t necessarily as quick as it needs to be to eliminate the need for [...]
