The Bunny-Bushido On RAW Anime Watching/Blogging

First off, let me ask you this, will you watch an anime raw, and even go to the extent of blogging it, if you didn�t understand much of what�s being said in the episode(s)?

The Anime Breakfast Club: What Do Anime People Eat For Breakfast Pt. 1

Breakfast is said to be the most important meal of the day. It sustains anime people through a large part of the day, whether they're going to school, piloting mecha, or saving the world. What does your anime character eat for breakfast? What do you eat for breakfast? Motosuwa Hideki (Chobits) This post was inspired by this photo essay.

Alternative Universe: Flirting with Fire

Meet two of our young flame wielders from the Kannagi Clan of Kaze no Stigma. Ayano looking cooler than usual and not in her hot-tempered mode, with Ren looking more mature for his age and not in his usual cutesy look. That, and the change of costumes in this pic are more than enough to think of this as an "Alternative Universe". Ayano, especially, looks as if she's an Amazon who came from some oriental action movie, whose costume is somewhere in the line of Yuna of FFX's.

Stabbing Bloggers Behind Their Backs, the Google Notes Way

Despite my high-and-mighty elitist sounding "RSS is awesome!!!" pimping, I'm ashamed to say that I haven't been living up to what I've been preaching (particularly Google Notes and Sharing) until recently, when more and more people started sharing their "Google Notes crap" and I don't seem to be making any efforts in doing so! oh notes!

My Noughties in Anime

By absolute0 ⋅ January 8, 2010

I was originally intending to write about my top favorite shows from the passing decade but as I was listing down those that I have seen, I realized that there are still plenty of shows that I haven't watched completely and there are also some shows that I might like but still haven't seen. So I have decided to change my decade post's format.

Thou Shall Not Mess With .htaccess

By usagijen ⋅ January 4, 2010

If you visited the blog recently, then you would've been plagued by 404 errors all over the place. But rest assured, people, the situation is under control. The blog wasn't hacked (though I thought of the possibility, and panicked a little, until I realized what really caused it) it was just uhh-- messed by yours truly. Been working on the new buggy theme for the last couple of days, and thought I'd tweak the .htaccess file to load the post images on my local server-- and forgot to bring it back to the way it was. So yeah, Golden Rule people: don't mess around with your .htaccess file. It might be < 1KB, but it holds the power to mess up your entire blog, sorta.

By usagijen ⋅ December 25, 2009

While I'm still not done done with my Honey & Clover rewatch (Gonna 'restart' it after I'm done with Midori no Hibi, since that's the one with a deadline) and also not done deciphering this interview with Umino Chika in Manga Kitchen, I'm afraid you're gonna have to bear with this little teaser: usagijen: I just read this "Manga Kitchen" book/mook/whatever usagijen: which features various manga series wherein "food" is a motif of some sort usagijen: or that food, in some ways, had a significance in that series usagijen: thought it'd be soo relevant to scrumptious! usagijen: and it so happens that H&C is featured in that book, the very first one too. usagijen: ever wondered why the opening of H&C is the way it is?

Life at 25: A Series of (Un)Fortunate Events

By usagijen ⋅ December 15, 2009

(大空テラス少女 by hoppang) On the 13th of December my true love sent — rather, I turned 1/4-of-a-century old, a ‘Quarter Centurian’ according to j1m0ne. Might not be much, but it’s still zOMG 25 freaking years living on Planet Earth! Just another 25 years and I’ll be an obaasan! (or a MILF, we’ll see) Hello quarter-life crisis? Birthday, [...]
