[news] Murder Spree leaves 7 dead in Akihabara

On a seemingly quiet Sunday afternoon, seven people were mercilessly killed in a violent stabbing spree in Akihabara.
I could say that it takes such a calamity to shake the anime community out of their sugar-coated 2D worlds (where violence is stuck in a TV-box, or filled with Magical Girls) but it’s irrelevant to go on [...]

distorting anime to fit our own intellectual outlook? probably so.

Note: I wrote this in a well, a fit of mirth (that video made me laugh hard) so I probably have typos and grammatical errors everywhere. APOLOGIES.

Another flame war has started! Get on your fire-proof suits and enjoy the show.
Finally! I never thought I’d see an actual mockumentary documentary about the sad state that fansubs [...]

[news] it’s a season for posable figures!

Revoltech Express has hinted/announced (it’s the same to fans lulz) at a bundled Fraulein Revoltech Suzumiya Haruhi for the latest SOS-dan game that will be released for the Wii in the future.

Judging from the looks for the bust, and what I assume are the legs, this might be one of the best Fraulein Revoltechs yet! [...]

haul v0.5

Well technically this should have come before haul v1 but I totally forgot about it! Granted that I’ll be super duper busy - read: absent - during the next few weeks, I’ll just pre-load this for you guys until the next haul comes. Which should be soon. Because my puchi nendoroid Lucky Stars are waiting [...]

UPDATE on TachiDays Status

Sorry for the lack of updates at the moment but I’ve been given a whole lot of shit (a.k.a responsibilities) to handle so I am a sad otakun.
With regards to what’s going to happen to Tachikomatic Days, because it has survived a few months and I’d hate for it to just wither away, is a [...]

the softer side of ASCII art

Sometimes, we have words left unsaid. But since we don’t have things like shigofumi, some of us choose to tell our story in various ways.
This Japanese man (he mightn’t be an otaku but he’s rather well versed in the way of ASCII art LOL) shares with us a touching story that might bring a tear [...]

How many CLAMP series do you recognize? I’m glad to say I [...]

Impending doom

Well, not exactly doom but Tachikomatic Days is going through a brief hiatus at the moment as I clear stuff up for the new year. (Agh, I wish I was in Japan like DarkMirage.) Plus, I have to do the gift art I promised a post below.
I’m typing up a (p)review post of upcoming anime [...]

Rawr Rawr

It seems that during my horrible time in China + Hongkong, I have missed the pre-order deadlines for the Petit Lucky Star nendoroids. WTF. Way to ruin my vacation, losing a phone was bad enough.
I’m still unpacking the insane amounts of laundry and new clothes (an otaku still has to wear something) and pictures will [...]
