Instant Review: the contents of this package from Right Stuf

Saturday, June 27th, 2009

In case you still remember kransom’s posts, you might think this is some kind of insightful and highly detailed blog. Unfortunately, you’re actually thinking of all the other ones on the sidebar.

Sayonara, Zetsubou Sensei vol. 2 is a cool manga, you should read it. If you’ve already watched it, it pretty much covers all the same jokes, but personally I don’t care about that.

Faust vol. 2 doesn’t have Kara no Kyoukai in it. I guess everyone hated it so much in the last one that it’s gone now? I haven’t actually read this one yet, but Omo covered vol1 pretty well.

Gakuen Alice has a really unfortunate DVD cover but you should watch it if you like that kind of thing.

I haven’t done anything recently except play Umineko (which is more or less brilliant) so maybe this blog and that other blog will stay dead for a while.

We went to Anime Boston and didn’t even tell you

Sunday, June 21st, 2009

Actually, I didn’t go to Anime Boston; kransom did.
I boycotted Anime Boston for reasons described in my previous post.
He did a “Twitter” from Anime Boston, but just one, which goes as follows:

Events and sec at ab is kidna bimyou

The meaning of this is that despite the promises of excitement and fun made for the weekend, in reality it had bimyou-ish panels and events, and the “sec” was also bimyou.
I would venture that this entire gathering was a physical form of chu-mail: the hand flapping of a thousand aspies wearing their Sonichu medallions and courageous but awkwardly attempting to express their love for anime.
Let us be thankful that their failure was mostly contained within a single convention center and the hazukashii news did not reach the glorious nation of Japan.
So, it’s sort of understandable that no post was written here, on this blog, about the anime event he attended.
I wish to recommend you instead a blog made by a GNU/Linux doujin guy.
He went to Kinko’s and printed up 50 copies of the Ubunchu doujin!
If everyone in attendance did this, we would have kopibon at the convention and it would become a doujin fair.
My friends, if we want to return creativity to our great nation and ban the bomb, anything which makes America more like Japan must be accepted without question.
Let a thousand flowers bloom. Flowers of GNU/Linux.
