Daily Kannagi Updates for 12/15

Posted on December 14th, 2008 at 9:03 pm by kransom

first and foremost, hats off to the anime team for the spoo reference.

Second, weblab.ota has a great flowchart describing what in the world is going on with this whole mess, if you can manage to read the Japanese. I’d love to read it for you, but I have a 10 page paper due in 48 hours.

Finally, the current rumor circulating around the internet around Takenashi’s health is that she fell down a bunch of stairs due to anemia, if this mystery barebones blog site by some light novelist who may or may not be referencing Takenashi when she talks about “U-nyan” is correct. Kind of a stretch, I guess?

From the Creator of CHAINSAW MAID…

Posted on December 13th, 2008 at 11:11 am by kransom

Nagao Takena, also known as Teienu (ていえぬ), creator of grindhouse claymation gorefests like CHAINSAW MAID has come out with his newest creation, PUSSYCAT! I’m really impressed by this one – the clay figures look great, the camera work is incredible, especially given that its amateur claymation, the soundtrack is completely spot-on, the guy can do no wrong as far as I’m concerned. Also, I just now found out that he premiered PUSSYCAT basically down the street from me 2 weeks ago. ;_____;

anyway, here’s the movie. warning: not work safe

edit: happy 100th post, blog

A note to moe haters

Posted on December 10th, 2008 at 6:26 pm by kransom

You can not stop us.

We have this Kentaro Miura.

You moe now.

Are you afraid?

Death to shonen fighting.

Death to manliness.

Idolm@ster is great.

Realpost: Kentaro Miura, author of Berserk, has admitted in the latest issue of Young Animal that he’s very sad that his favorite series of Idolm@ster-related videos on nico are finally ending, so he picked up the game and a 360 for home play. Apparently he’s talked about Miku in the past, but I missed that.

Incidentally, Berserk goes back on break next issue.

wwwwwwwww

(this guy does a funnier writeup if you can read the japanese)

edit: oh, i forget that sankaku complex reads the same news blogs as me and is up at all hours, welp

No Zun at C75

Posted on December 7th, 2008 at 4:09 am by kransom

Maybe I’m the last person to know this or something, but from the looks of it, Zun will not be showing up at C75. This means that all the other Touhou-related lines will be even longer. :ARGH:

NHK contribution yens continued

Posted on December 6th, 2008 at 9:43 am by kransom

With all the crazy news and c75 stuff and anime/manga announcements (Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii etc etc manga adaptation!) popping up today I keep thinking “man I should make a post” but then realize that I should spend more time studying for this test I’m taking tomorrow that I’m going to fail.

But then this showed up on my Katoyuu feed:

Idolm@ster, LIVE 4 U! ON PUBLIC TV!

THIS IS WHY I PAY YOU THE BIG BUCKS, NHK

Belated Thanksgiving Thanks

Posted on November 28th, 2008 at 4:09 am by kransom

I am thankful to the gods of curry for bringing a second Go Go Curry location to Akiba, far more conveniently located to all the action. Maybe now I can actually manage to sit down next to a friend when I go there for lunch?!

Happy Thanksgiving!

It’s been a while since I’ve been in the states – I think I’m doing this right

Touhou M-1 Grand Prix DVD out at C75

Posted on November 18th, 2008 at 12:51 am by kransom

Oh my, this is going to get quite a line. Day 2, West hall あ-43 a+b

If you don’t know what Touhou M-1 GP is, it’s Touhou manzai sketches. I think some people on the internet translated some of them if you’re into that kind of thing.
