Musings of a technophile

I recently found out that Hajime no Ippo had started a Season 2 in January (The New Challenge). I had been thinking about reading the manga to get my Ippo fix, but this should hold me out a bit longer, if not catch me up to the massive 900+ chapter manga.

After hearing about season 2, I actually watched the entire first season (75 episodes) and the 2 specials… Continue reading

Logan’s Birthday was on November 15th (ok ok…so I’m a little bit late writing this post..better late than never). While we had a birthday party for both the boys on November 1st, we treated that party as more of a public affair, while we treated Logan’s birthday as more of a private party for both the boys.

Since Logan is really into dinosaurs at the moment, we decided… Continue reading

Although Filler episodes are something I could definitely do without (although they are a neccessary evil in order to allow the manga to advance farther since the Anime catches up so quickly), I must say that the filler episodes to Bleach are MUCH better than the crap filler from Naruto.

Plot
Basically Naruto just does these one off (or maybe a series of like up to five) episodes that… Continue reading

I finished watching Macross Frontier, the newest addition to the Macross saga, last night. It marks the 25th anniversary of Macross (the series that was changed to Robotech in the United States). Because of this, there is lots of references back to the older series such as Macross, Macross II, Macross Plus and Macross 7. For instance, at the beginning of Macross Frontier, the main character Alto has to save… Continue reading

School Days is an Anime about a boy named Makoto Itou who goes from never having a girlfriend to having about all the girls in his class as his girlfriends at the end of the series. It is an Ecchi anime – although there is a HUGE difference between an Ecchi Anime like Love Hina and this one, I’d even call this a Hentai wannabe.

First off let me… Continue reading

So I watched this Anime series called Devil May Cry. Many of you may recognize the name from the fairly popular Devil May Cry video game series. I played Devil May Cry (the first one) once, but never completed it, I think after watching this Anime I may give it another try.

The series is only 12 episodes long, but it follows the story of Dante – a half… Continue reading

So I finished watching Lemon Angel Project last night.  For some reason when I saw the first of this series I was rather fond of it, but as the series went on I was less and less thrilled.  I think one of the main turn offs is the voice acting – specifically the main character.  No matter how you look at it, you undoubtedly will get the impression that she Continue reading

So I’m watching this anime called Sola now.  It’s ok I guess – nothing special.  It’s about a guy who finds this girl who only for some reason only seems to be around at night.  He later comes to find out that she’s a being called a ‘Yaka’ or something like a spirit.  If her skin touches the light of day it begins to burn.  So anyways they wind up Continue reading
