http://pinkubentobox.com/blog Animu, Games, Words about Nerdery Sun, 29 Jun 2008 15:07:24 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en So I was reading this entry at ANN, specifically Enoki Films 'presenting' Slayers R, the imminent new Slayers show. Now, putting aside that I thought Enoki had been dead for years and the implication that this show might actually have been pre-emptively licensed, the 'plot summary' really grabbed me. Part I ... http://pinkubentobox.com/blog/archives/496/slayers-revolution-am-i-reading-this-right/ I'm usually pretty prompt with these entries, generally doing them about a month out. I've been slacking off recently I guess, since next season's only a week away and I've already been beaten to this by some far more thorough entries than my own. Anyway, here's a list of the ... http://pinkubentobox.com/blog/archives/487/july-2008-anime/ My anime watching habits seem to increasingly fall into a certain pattern. Whenever a new season starts I will invariably gorge myself on the latest shows, reveling in their general newness. Usually I justify this by saying that I'm 'trying them out' to determine which shows I'll follow on a ... http://pinkubentobox.com/blog/archives/473/old-animu-slayers-next/ Today's random thought: I like the way our current blog theme (slightly customised K2) looks, but it is pretty flawed. Everything feels a bit constricted, I'm really not a fan of the whole AJAX Archives system since it loses your position if you navigate away from the page and come ... http://pinkubentobox.com/blog/archives/474/this-theme-sucks/ So, due to an interesting alignment of circumstances my father somehow ended up getting given a brand new camera, which he passed on to me since apparently I'm the only one that didn't have one. Additionally, my Alter 1/1 Scale Reinforce Zwei arrived in the mail this morning so I ... http://pinkubentobox.com/blog/archives/472/reinforce-zwei-camera-get/ You know, instead of teasing fans with a project that'll never happen, ADV should just take the 50 million or so they've raised for their hypothetical live action Evangelion and just put it to licensing the new Rebuild of Evangelion movies and promoting the everloving shit out of them. ... http://pinkubentobox.com/blog/archives/449/rebuild-of-evangelion-parentheses-in-the-title/ I'll be upgrading to the latest Wordpress and K2 tonight, so there may be some disruption to the site. Hopefully this will all go smoothly. EDIT: Looks like the wordpress update went fine, now to fix up k2. Hopefully the customised stylesheet we created will still be compatible with RC6. EDIT2: Looks ... http://pinkubentobox.com/blog/archives/447/service-disruption-2/ Back in 2006 I was rather scathing of xxxHolic when it came out. I decided to give it another go recently and finished watching it last week. Once I got past the jarring art that pops up every now and then I found I quite enjoyed it. Interesting how perceptions ... http://pinkubentobox.com/blog/archives/446/i-was-wrong/ I'm a bit late with this entry, but it's become a bit of a tradition for me so I felt like doing this again. Next season starts in April, and it looks reasonable. There are a few that stand out as being must-watch and then quite a few that have ... http://pinkubentobox.com/blog/archives/445/april-2008-anime/ MAL says that I have wasted 100 days of my life as of today. I'm not sure if I'm proud of this achievement or not. http://pinkubentobox.com/blog/archives/443/100-days/
