What would you call a fansub group that purposefully subbed only the first episode of a show and released it? I don’t mean that their members quit, or that they got busy with other stuff, or that they couldn’t get the next episode — I mean they decided just to do the first episode only, [...]

NyaaTorrents Pushes Porn
Posted in rant, tagged nyaatorrents, porn, pornography, tokyo toshokan on November 4, 2010 | 3 Comments »
For the last month at least, NyaaTorrents has been running softcore porn ads for one online marketplace of Japanese anime`-related stuff. Because most of the people who submit torrents to Tokyo Toshokan upload their torrents to Nyaa, I figured that I was stuck. I don’t use Firefox, but I do use a proxy server, and [...]
Yumeiro Patissiere #48: Invasion of the Body Snatchers
Posted in rant, tagged 48, amano ichigo, episode 48, pod people, tennouji, Yumeiro Patissiere on September 12, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
In four words: What The Heck Happened? I’ve never reviewed an individual episode before now, and I’m only reviewing this one now because it’s so violently different from the rest of the series — as if the main characters had become pod people. SPOILERS AHEAD! SPOILERS AHEAD! SPOILERS AHEAD! SPOILERS AHEAD! First of all, Tennouji-san [...]
How They Killed K-On! Season Two
Posted in graveyard, rant, tagged anime fail, K-on, music, school on April 24, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
While I was never a huge fan of K-On!, I did enjoy most of season one. Some episodes were good, others were lame, and there was a subplot that I hated (you can guess which one), but on the whole, the series worked. There was something endearing in the struggles of a group of high-school [...]
The Three Fails (Intro: Torrent Fail!)
Posted in rant, tagged anime fail, Fan sub group fail, FSG fail, torrent fail on April 19, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
The more I hang around the anime` world, the more that the crazy stuff jumps out at me. At first, everything was crazy in a different way, in a cool “ohmigosh I’ve never seen anything like it” way, but I don’t mean crazy like that. I mean crazy like senseless. Here’s what I mean: Fansub [...]
K-ON Catastrophe: Coalguys Sucks (and so does Fuwa).
Posted in rant, tagged coalguys, fansub, fuwa, K-on on April 7, 2010 | 1 Comment »
It’s not very cool to rag on fansub groups openly, but I’ve had it. I suffered through Coalguys’ K-ON subs last year mostly because they were the fastest, but their subs got rougher and lamer. Now I see what they’ve done to K-ON season two and it makes me want to smash stuff and hurt [...]
The Anime` Blahs
Posted in rant, thoughts on June 20, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
One of the big problems with anime` is that series start strong and then enter the land of suck pretty quickly. So every time you start a new series, you’re preparing yourself for the worst. Eventually this wears you down and that’s where I’m at: kinda tired of anime` as a whole. I’m officially sick [...]
Stealing My Words
Posted in rant, tagged blog, blogger, google, theft on February 5, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I can’t believe it. This blog is mostly personal, doesn’t encourage participation (see the about page), and is under everyone’s radar, and still, someone is stealing my words. Why? What’s the point? I’m not churning out literary masterpieces here. I don’t have traffic that’s way up there. I’m sure the dood doesn’t even know me, [...]
Predictable Perviness: Catholic Schools
Posted in rant, tagged catholic, maria watches over us, private, school, shoujo, shoujo-ai on December 31, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I’m tired of (male) anime` writers treating the relationships between girls/women as lesbianism. If this was ever shocking instead of simply bone-headedly juvenile, it’s not any longer. It’s not new and different because so many series have done it. It’s not even expected; it’s dreaded. Every time I see a new series that purports to [...]
Hello To The Haters
Posted in rant, tagged comments, haters on December 8, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Sigh. The haters have found me. I knew it was only a matter of time before the internet’s underworld denizens found me — you know them well: the know-it-alls, the stalkers, and the trolls. Yesterday the first full-blown hater showed up, and I deleted the comment. Actually that gives myself more credit than I deserve. [...]
