All Things Chill

When it comes to a great Anime website, the community must be involved. Mostly comprised of a ton of people who haven’t learned Japanese as a native language, we (yes, I’m definitely included) don’t know what’s *good* until someone brings it from the land of the rising sun and we watch it. If [...]

Wallpaper size 1024×768 and 1280×1024 . Naruto Shippuden episode 26. First episode in a VERY VERY long time with movie-quality animation. Almost as good as Sasuke’s fight with Orochimaru (awesome to watch as a stand-alone video).
This new “Jinchuuriki” arc is pretty interesting, but it feels like it’s too lob-sided to one [...]

Wallpaper here: 1024 x 768 and 1600 x 1050. Even though I’m an avid Anime fanboy, I have yet to synchronize my internal clock for the commencement of new shows for the season in Japan (if there is such a thing). There are huge gaps in time where I just stop watching [...]

Larger desktop size (1280 x 1024) here. WOOP WOOP! Naruto Shippuuden episode #001 (translated here in the US as the Naruto Hurricane Chronicles) is here! It starts NNOOOWWWW. If you’ve heard the screams and yelps about the highly lauded Naruto series from loud, obnoxious kids (and geeky young men)… and thought… [...]

Anime. I are teh fanboy. I haven’t written much about *anything* JapaneseTV-related in quite a while, since most of my favorite series have ended or have grown stagnant with fillers and one-offs that should be re-categorized as “put-offs”. Bleh. That being said, one of the series that I have been following, [...]

For those of you who aren’t into gaming, Anime or anything related to Japanese culture, please skip… as this post will probably bore you to death. Haha. Kotaku has the latest trailer for Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core up on their site.
Finally something solid on on the PSP Final Fantasy VII game, [...]

ZOMG I’M SO TIRED. LOL. Anyway, the folks over at Dattebayo fansubs, the group responsible for translating and sub-title-ing the wildly popular Naruto Anime series, decided that their other projects need a little boost:
Naruto 209 Delayed Until Pitagora Switch Reaches 50K Downloads
OFFICIAL DATTEBAYO STATEMENT – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Gnaa, Nigeria – November 10th, 2006 [...]

Kemonozume. It’s gritty, abrasive, graphic, violent and completely messed up… but it’s one of the most touching love stories I’ve seen in a while. LOL. Anime News Network has the deets:
A race of cannibal monsters called the Shokujinki exists and it is the job of the Kifuuken, an elite group of beast-hunters, [...]

Look. I’m not one to play single-player video games. I think it’s a waste of time to play against the computer when there are perfectly good adolescents to verbally rip apart. Haha. I wish I was kidding. ROFL.
So, when a game was created based on one of my favorite anime [...]

Wow. I haven’t posted about anything Anime related in quite a while. It’s prolly ’cause nothing that I’ve watch is really that blog-worthy. No big fights, no new super-powers, no new love stories… just filler. Le Sigh.
Anyway. I’ve finally had enough time to watch the first few episodes of [...]

Did you know that there’s an American Football Worldcup held every four years? Yeah. I had no idea either. Did you also know that Japan won back-to-back victories in 1999 and 2003? Crazy. The United States doesn’t compete for various reasons and that might take away a little bit of [...]

I don’t know why I didn’t post about it before, but I really liked watching Full Metal Alchemist. It’s an anime about Edward Elric and his brother (Alphonse) who tried to use alchemy to bring back their deceased mother. Since the laws of alchemy forbid such an act, Edward’s arm and leg were [...]

New Anime is pretty scarce now-a-days, so I’ve been looking up shows I might have missed and grabbing the entire series over the net. It took me a while, but I just finished Mai-HiMe, an Anime series that showed in Japan last year. The official Japanese site is here.
Tokiha Mai and her sickly [...]
