Inubaka Live Action – Trailer Out!

Posted by jennkei on 29 Oct 2009 | Filed under: Random

Some people might know about the upcoming Inubaka live action — the trailer’s out! Have a look at it below. (Or have a look at the Official Site, which probably has better quality.)
I have an issue with Suzanne looking rather unnatural as an actor (which is completely contrary to how Suguri should be)…and the guy [...]

Trade Thursday – 23 Manga Volumes 15/10/09

Posted by jennkei on 15 Oct 2009 | Filed under: Random

Hmmm, nothing really much that interests me, though we do see some good-value Seven Seas omnibuses of two of their original properties (Hollow Fields and Destiny’s Hand) this week. Though I’m not really sure when they were published. ._. Kodansha kicks off their English manga publishing business with two classics: Akira, and Ghost in the [...]

Aoi Bungaku 1 – Life? Disqualified!

Posted by jennkei on 12 Oct 2009 | Filed under: Anime, Autumn 2009

Summary: Ugh, this is gonna be a short one. (I’d originally written just the line after this, but I expanded the summary afterwards. -wry-) Two people decide to commit suicide together because they’ve realised how meaningless their lives were. Our male protagonist is a part-time bum and part-time conman, acting as an actor in an [...]

To Aru Kagaku no Railgun 2 – Kuroko’s One-Month-Anniversary of LOVE! (+watch)

Posted by jennkei on 11 Oct 2009 | Filed under: Random

It’s 2am and I should be going to sleep, so just a short post. (Aren’t mine always short anyway? ^_^”) Railgun definitely has ecchi amusing moments, especially with Kuroko playing the fangirl to the hilt. There were a few light-hearted bits that made me laugh out loud, like the super-fast undie-stealing akshun, and using Uiharu’s [...]

Sasameki Koto 1 – Crying Girls and Unrequited Love (+watch!)

Posted by jennkei on 11 Oct 2009 | Filed under: Random

Summary: Sasameki Koto starts off mildly-enough; school scenes, complete with uniforms and bloomers during PE. Except! There’re two girls kissing in a classroom..and they’re spotted by another two we’ll presume to be our protagonists~ One of them (Sumi) looks a lot like Yomiko Readman. ._.
Unlike some yuri anime/manga (-coughs-), this one takes place in a [...]

NY and Kinokuniya Aus Manga rankings – 10th October 2009

Posted by jennkei on 10 Oct 2009 | Filed under: Random

On the NYTimes chart: Black Bird 1, Naruto 43, and Fruits Basket 23 have been displaced by Naruto 46 (still Naruto >.>), Shugo Chara! 7, and Negima!? Neo 3. Naruto 46 only been released four days ago, and makes a good strong showing. With the exception of Naruto 45, there’s some upper-place reshuffling, notably of [...]

11eyes 1 – Too Many Eyes In This Season!!

Posted by jennkei on 09 Oct 2009 | Filed under: Anime, Autumn 2009, Music

Summary: 11eyes starts off with a shocking and bloody scene; Shota!Kakeru’s sis injures her with strange tentacle chains, then kills herself. All this is witnessed by then-loli!Yuka…
After the OP (Which I liked), we’ve fast-forwarded a few years, and both Yuka and Kakeru are in school. Yuka’s been adopted by the Minase family. Nonetheless, Kakeru remains [...]

Dodgy Statistics – Sisters Make People Happy, Sweets Make You Violent

Posted by jennkei on 08 Oct 2009 | Filed under: Random

[Image via Danbooru, by babycat.]Do you have a sister? Do you think she makes you a happier person? Of course, these wouldn’t have been the questions they’d asked (I hope >.>), but that’s what a group of British researchers discovered (n=571). (Via @pantherrh and coverage by Sankaku Complex.)
Meanwhile, another group of British researchers (again?) discovered [...]

Trade Thursday – 32 New Manga 8/10/09 (Mostly Viz)

Posted by jennkei on 08 Oct 2009 | Filed under: Random

Looks like Viz has a big release this week! It’s quiet on most other fronts, it seems. I’ve wanted to try Akihabara@Deep for a while now, but never got around it. Either they didn’t get enough orders to put Volume 6 in stock, or it was really popular. ._. Either way, out of stock already~ [...]

Pictures – Twitter

Posted by jennkei on 07 Oct 2009 | Filed under: Random

A quick post before I go off to have a bite. How true is this for you? :P Micromedia evolving to become more and more micro…(Via this site)..

More twitter — and as predicted, Yuyu-sama is always hungry! XD Via Danbooru. (where you may go for a translation of the Japanese, if you can’t read it. [...]
