Return of the Tsundere

It’s about damn time. Com’on, Tsundere is moe. What was everyone thinking for the past few years last year?! So after winning – Suiseiseki and also claiming third – Shana (and Rin Tosaka in eighth?! Kidding me?) in 2006 and only second – Nagi last year… this year, it’s the return of the tsundere – All hail Kagamin, because she is the winner of the 2008 Anime Saimoe Tournament..

Jun Ji-Hyun as Saya!!

Personally, I’m not fond of live action adaptation of anime/manga, but I sure am not going to miss this one. Blood: The Last Vampire live action movie, with Jun Ji-Hyun as Saya! (If you don’t know who is Jun Ji-Hyun, go grab yourself a copy of the movie My Sassy Girl)

Love Death 3

If you have managed to get your hand on the eroge Love Death 2, and like it, then this is definitely something that you cannot miss. Love Death 3 is available for preorder and will be in stocks 28th November 2008! And if you preorder it before 21st November, you can choose to include the preorder Bonus- Sextea Beach 3 Force. Continue reading only if you are 18 or above…

Will they follow the original manga this time?

I love Full Metal Alchemist. I thought the ending was good, but I felt bad for Winry. I love the manga, I wonder if anyone reads it? I really hope they follow the manga this time , I’m so excited, but although the manga gives a lot of grounds for the staff to work on the anime, it’s slow. New chapter only comes out once every month, and I certainly hope it wouldn’t turn into another Naruto/Bleach.

nothing brings me out of blogging semi-retirement faster than encountering a new theory of evolution in anime. excuse me, darwin – according to utawarerumono, there’s apparently a missing link between monkeys and humans! and the missing link is a.. MECHAAAAA.

thoughts

i have to admit that if it wasn’t for the nice art, i wouldn’t have been able to finish watching sola – which would have been a waste, as i felt that the later episodes were better than the earlier ones. let me explain – how interested would one be if one knows that initially, the main premise of the anime lies with the main protagonist wanting to show how beautiful the daytime clouds are to a vampire?

britannia’s most dangerous job

it’s not just being a soldier that’s tough. those servicing the koutei-chan’s pearly whites would be in for a memory wipe whenever they see the back of his throat =P
