TLDR Animu: The Wiki

April 14, 2013 in News

59

Announcing a new addition to the tldranimu domain, http://wiki.tldranimu.net, a new wiki based in MediaWiki whose purpose will be to collect everything I’ve watched ever and present it in a streamlined wikipedia-like format along with relevant images and media. The goal was to make a companion to the blog that can be referenced and searched a tad easier than my jumbled mess of a blog, what with my changing writing styles and all.

Details and rules inside.

Plastic Dreams

May 15, 2013 in Random

This is going to be terribly short, because that’s what this show was, short. I noticed it on Nova’s blog a few days back and figured, eh, what the hell? A sub group was kind enough to put all the episodes together into one episode straight, and it was the fucking craziest twenty-five minutes of my life, at least for the moment.

I can’t really explain it to you, it’s about girls in a club who build models, wear little models on their head, and generally beat the shit out of each other. There is also stereotypical American females, GIANT GIRLS WHO DEMAND MOCHI, pelvic-thrusting sports players, a tank, and whatever else. Just go download it, watch it, spit things over your desk, and then we’ll do deli. It’s easier than me typing.

We’re halfway through the Spring season, and it’s almost time to get on with the list for Summer 2013. A few excellent titles are in the mix for this season, and a few other promising leads. This season caught me up with so many titles I didn’t initially include in the chart, so I am going to try to get everything seated properly this time, even if that means making a post-chart after the first week. Anyway, let’s see what we have in store based on charts from these fine sources:

Anichart – Summer 2013
Neregate – Summer 2013

Boundaries

May 10, 2013 in Conventions, Rants

A good friend of mine shared something on Facebook earlier this morning that, while short and not particularly detailed given the subject material, naturally leads right into discussion points for anyone and everyone who has ever helped run an anime convention. They’re tough, tougher than most attendees think. It’s a lot like planning a wedding, except instead of only having to plan for a hundred people, you’re planning for anywhere from a thousand to ten thousand people. My fiancee might disagree with me there, since she planned all of our wedding, and will no doubt say it was much harder, but I suppose it depends on the person’s level of comfort with even planning.

Sisterly Love

Wrapping up the weekend in this week’s anime, Shingeki continues to impress with awesome visuals, even though I’ve read pretty far into the manga, so no surprises for me. Gargantia continues to be one of my top-ranked series this season, being everything I wanted Overman King Gargantia to be. Henneko also does not fail to disappoint me in the light-hearted territory. Let’s get on with it~

[HorribleSubs] Space Brothers - 56 [720p].mkv_snapshot_21.10_[2013.05.04_15.36.29]

It’s been awhile since I’ve talked about the still-running anime based on astronauts, space, NASA/JAXA, and everything in-between, and that is Space Brothers. It’s been on the air now for a little over a year, crossing the fifty episode mark a month and a half ago, but with a few recap episodes airing recently, I didn’t care to really get back on until they ended last week opening up with a new arc in the ASCAN saga, building a rocket that deploys a parachuting rover.
