Sachiko uses Knife and Fork!Officials of Sasebo Women's High School said that they would like to see if applicants have acquired the minimum levels of eating manners by checking their use of chopsticks.

Secrets of the AT Field revealed

Wednesday, November 1st, 2006

Zettai RyouikiDescribed in this thread by kj1980 and demonstrated on this t-shirt , the AT Field is described as: "the section of the skin that is exposed between the mini-skirt and the overknee socks. The ideal ratio should be 4:1:2.5 (length of mini-skirt : absolute territory : length of overknee socks above the knee).

A character that is equipped with such weapon can annihilate vast amounts of brain cells, which can amount to an intense moe~ness that is so destructive that one can overcome one's AT field in less than 0.03 seconds."

Reverse Trap Butler Cafe

Friday, October 27th, 2006

Something for the laidies

As mentioned here and further explained here, in response to the growing trend of female otaku there is now a "Maid Cafe" to cater for their tastes. And what would that be? So answer me this, if the girls are dressed as guys and pretending to be guys… is it yaoi or yuri?

Oh btw the cafe is named "80+1". If you don't get the BL reference in that you simply are not trying hard enough.

Last Exile - Alvis

It's not often that I see an old figure re-released, and usually the re-release includes a new paint job or some other gimmick to suck all the people in who already shelled out for the original. But this figure of Alvis from Last Exile appears to have been re-released after a relatively short period. Well give 'em what they want I guess?

A look back on the hype, Haruhi vs Nana

Tuesday, October 24th, 2006

So much to read so little time to write… that's my excuse. 

Anyway on to the topic, if you were bouncing around the net back in June no doubt you would have seen some of the previews or reviews on the new releases back then. Now this is something I noticed myself. Some shows received heaped praise and promised the world, whilst others were seemingly shoved out of view like.. like something unimportant that is shoved out of view.

gigabeat_P_nana_1.jpgMy prime example here are the two TV series: Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu and NANA. Actually I'm already bored of writing this, so go read this blog . Not long after, seemingly directed as a personal jibe against me Toshiba released more NANA crap .

Now to the present: I still havn't got around to watching NANA, but I'll give you one guess what one of my favs of 2006 was ;)
