Manga Fan-translation: Nekomimi Murasaki vs Tsundere Ginko

By Lupus | Published: September 11, 2008

I stole the scans off of a Chinese forum, translated it and removed their credits. Also, the title to this post is a lie. I’m a bad, bad man. Note: You can get a higher resolution version of all the images in this post by clicking on them. Hope all you animal ear fans and [...]

IT'S MOTHERF**KING CHOCOLATE CORNET

By Lupus | Published: September 10, 2008

Please allow me one short rant. I haven’t posted in close to two months, and this post is not going to be some “Big Bang” back to the blogging stardom that I was never in, so I can’t justify using this space for ranting about a pet peeve; but damn it, let me get this [...]

CLANNAD 24 – Tomoyo or Nagisa?

By Lupus | Published: July 28, 2008

The character most prominent in my mind after watching CLANNAD 24 is Tomoya. Is writing for Impz finally having an effect on me?

Light Novels Reviews – GoMetal Spice and Dragon XXXVI

By Lupus | Published: July 7, 2008

ToraDora manga. Don’t let that look fool you – she’s called the Palm-sized Tiger for a very, very good reason. It’s holiday time, and I’m in Hong Kong, enjoying a well deserved break after a particularly stressing exam period. Within 3 days of my arrival, I’ve already purchased over $1000HKD worth of light novels and [...]

Toshokan Sensou and LOL LOGIC

By Lupus | Published: June 5, 2008

In the world ofToshokan Sensou, foliage stops bullets. I have a rule, called “Ridiculous Leap of Logic Rule” (RiReRoRu for convenience’s sake), that I use to judge TV shows and movies. If, in the course of watching a TV show or movie, I’m forced to make a leap of logic so great that it’d start [...]

Auto-Mario does Nico Nico Medley

By Lupus | Published: May 13, 2008

This is just incredible. And, as far as I can tell, absolutely legit. Dark grey blocks make Mario run until he bumps into something; green Yoshi blocks make him jump, and pink Yoshi blocks do the same but make a sort of twit-twit sound; he bounces off note blocks, with a different sound effect depending [...]

Will the 'Real' Fatina Please Stand Up?

By Lupus | Published: May 13, 2008

It seems there’s still some confusion about what Tower of Druaga: The Aegis of Uruk‘s OP means. Is it a hint as to the real nature of the world: are they all actually just playing an MMORPG? I think that’s a brilliant idea, but unfortunately I’ve decided that it’s nothing more than a gimmick.

Anime Review: Shigofumi

By Lupus | Published: May 5, 2008

What is it about episodic anime that I like so much? Even discounting the comedies, few shows in my all time favourites can maintain a storyline for more than a few episodes at a time (in before ADHD accusations). Mushishi is one that springs to mind constantly, each episode a sublime story of human struggle, [...]

No, no, that's not where you're meant to look

By Lupus | Published: April 23, 2008

I certainly hope there isn’t any romance here. *because I can’t get [blockquote] to do anything in this theme, I’ll rely on list instead for quotes in the rest of this post. JPMeyer thinks defining genres in anime and manga by their characteristics is silly: I always laugh whenever people try to do a semantic [...]
