I was in the mood for some Halloween anime/manga treat a few days ago (back when it still WAS Halloween), but somehow, I ended up rewatching the Halloween episode of two of my timeless favorites instead -- Daa! Daa! Daa! (aka UFO Baby) and Aka-chan to Boku (Baby and Me) -- both of which also happens to involve one or more babies. I haven't talked about these two series in the blog, or rather, they aren't really talked about in the 'sphere, period. I'm not even betting my hopes on it happening any time soon, because y'know, the new season is all the shizz, and who would even go out of their way to discover them antiquated animus, right? So I thought, why not trick and treat myself into writing about them?

A Eulogy for Geocities... Earlier this week, GeoCities became officially unavailable, a few months since YaHoo! announced its closure. GeoCities began in the mid 1990’s providing free web hosting and later on, paid premium service. GeoCities was initially organized into “cities” or neighborhoods, such as Tokyo for anime and other Asian topics, or SiliconValley for tech topics. When Yahoo! acquired GeoCities in 1999, they switched from the neighborhood based URLs to a customized ones. I first learned of GeoCities in high school, around a couple of years after the city was introduced to the World Wide Web. I was fascinated with Yu Yu Hakusho then and I would research about the anime in the Net. Information regarding Yu Yu Hakusho, however, was limited and so I thought of creating my own YYH website. After deliberating which web host to use, I settled for GeoCities. I learned HTML and came up with a crude lay-out filled with marquees and Java applets (they were all the rage then). I couldn’t exactly remember that site’s URL but I think it was www.geocities.com/yyh_profiles.
Aiming to deliver delicious anime on a silver platter. We also serve random anime-related news, articles, reviews, scans, humorous and off-beat photographs. Take a look around the site and enjoy a unique and scrumptious meal today!
