I thought I was seeing things when I saw the headline on ANN today.
“New Slayers Fantasy TV Anime Series in the Works”
But upon further reading, it’s true! And there is not only going to be one, but TWO new seasons of Slayers!! It’s confirmed, alright! *(^_^)/*

Loli has never been as blatant as Kodomo no Jikan. Seriously. Take a look at this if you’re unconvinced.
WTF!?
I count myself as a fairly open-minded person.

If you have ever lived in Japan for a short period, or watched any anime that features high-school life, the concept of Bento (or lunchboxes) would not be foreign at all.
And the bento is not simply a throw-away lunch pack, but contains some of the most creative food artistry I have ever seen.

While casually browsing online for anime figures today, I saw this:
OMG! I want it!
It just looks cool, period. And Irisviel is gorgeous as well.
So imagine when I found out it was a limited edition item from Wonderfest 07, with only 5000 sets produced…
I was seriously kicking myself for living under a rock the past year…

Good things usually go unappreciated until you lose them, or they just stay unappreciated forever.
Which is a saying that always flashes through my mind each and every time I come across a real gem of an anime or manga.
And I would like to share one such treasure today - the superb and seriously underrated manga, [...]

For a movie starring mega-superstar Jay Chou, and billed as the most expensive Taiwan movie to date, my expectations certainly were very high when I sat down to catch the movie today…mostly because I’m a huge fan of Slam Dunk and Takehiko Inoue, and was hoping this would be a worthy live-action to the [...]

I was bored and surfing around today, when for no apparent reason, entered a search for “Animax” on youtube.

which was accompanied by the following youtube tags:
[ lollipop animax anime asian school girls hentai lolicon sex hot porn porno xxx ] Huh? Huh?

After seeing the type of businesses that have sprung up recently to cater to the taste of Japanese otakus (and to suck their wallet dry of money), they must be a pretty pervert and subversive species.
Just check out this article on Danny Choo’s blog whereby you can pay to visit a mock-up version of a [...]

I had the opportunity to attend the Singapore gala premiere of the Death Note spin-off movie, L Change the World, held at GV Vivocity today evening (Feb 13).
For a gala premiere, there wasn’t much fanfare, although I heard there was a cute young boy cosplaying as L though (A pity I missed a sighting of [...]
