Self Indulgence

October 30, 2009 by Landon

Was doing some cleaning today and in the process I dragged out my anime VHS collection.

Damn, it’s hard to believe I shelled out over $150 to get the first season of Those Who Hunt Elves.

Sacred Level 425 WoW Blacksmith Looking for Work

October 29, 2009 by Landon

Something about Sacred Blacksmith irks me. It isn’t Cecily’s silly plate armor (with boobs). That goofiness went in one eye and out the other with no other thought. What irks me is an apparent inconsistency with the anime’s mythos.

The “blacksmithing” that’s harped about in the series seems utterly pointless.

Mascot Hell

“In other words, you’ve fallen in love but it’s painful and you cry…Quit pretending you understand!”"

Yes, Ioryogi, you’re the voice of a silent generation.

Pee-Wee’s Groove House

October 28, 2009 by Landon

I dig Trapeze. It’s a visually creative series and it’s one of my favorites this anime season. But the best thing to come out of seeing this series is discovering Denki Groove.

Seriously, world, why didn’t you tell me about these dudes before? I’m pretty pissed at you for making me late to the groove.

Onee-Sama of Tears – Part Two

October 28, 2009 by Landon

I have to ask this, since it’s been burning in my brain for the past… several minutes. Is constantly casting your primary villains as women sexist, empowering, or just plain moe?

Schrödinger’s Blog

October 27, 2009 by Landon

If you don’t click on the “Read the rest of this story” link, there’s a fifty-fifty chance that there will be a good post. You’ll create a multiverse where a good post does indeed exist beyond that link. Do you want to take the risk of their being a crappy post, or do you want that possibility to continue existing?

Prepare for Trouble, and Make it Double – Part Two

October 26, 2009 by Landon

You thought you escaped. You thought they would never return. You thought that Landon dude had forgotten to do the sequel to that horrifying Pokemon kiddie toy review. Your hopes and dreams have been crushed, as the Pokemon Cheebees return in full force. Cower in fear as these adorable atrocities show you that there is no god, that your parents never loved you, and that toys can destroy your soul. Or whatever.

Onee-Sama of Tears – Part One

October 25, 2009 by Landon

Yeah, Umineko still doesn’t make sense. We went over this before. Beatrice and Battler meet-cute by means of murder re-enactments. A bit like having When Harry Met Sally take place in the latest Saw sequel in that it totally clashes with the nonsense going on in said murders.

When you get down to it, though, these nonsensical scenarios make perfect sense when you apply a healthy dose of dream logic to the situation
