Holy Blog Ressurection
By Ace | May 5, 2008
October 29th, wow, I can’t believe its been that long.
Apologies for blog abandonment, best said last year was just not a good year for me and it extended a bit into this year. Honestly, I haven’t had time for anime really let alone blogging about it. Things are about to change about that though, I promise. For one, this blog in particular had gone a different direction than I wanted it to go so that was part of the reason I just didn’t feel inclined to post any more. However, starting later this week (I have to catch up on series I’m yet to finish from Fall still) I’ll be getting back to my series reviews which is what I had originally intended.
If you want to hear random geeky musings from me, you can check out my other blog Animated Chatter where I’ll be keeping my more… topical posts about anything from anime, conventions, computer stuffs, and running my anime club.
-Until next time

ANN - Why I Shouldn’t Click the Forum Link in the Articles
By Ace | October 29, 2007
Okay, this is something that has irked me for quite some time and I feel that its about time to address it. Why is it that nearly everyone on ANN’s forums seems to be an elitist bastard who argues to hear themselves speak? Time and time again I’ve clicked on the “discuss this in the forums” link, just out of curiosity to see what everyone is saying about the issues or article, and unless its a “Hey, check out this anime” post (which usually results in little to no discussion unless its a huge series) by the time I get it in the RSS feed, its escalated into a full blown bitchfest between the forum-goers.

I Loathe You, Internet Explorer
By Ace | October 29, 2007
This is mainly a tech thing, so disregard if you care nothing of this nature. I just mainly wanted to apologize to those of you viewing my site in IE since the re-theming. I found out at school today (since they only have IE on the computers) that their broken box model was messing with the entire layout of my theme as well as putting a broken image tag where there was no image tag. I fixed it after about 30 minutes of messing with the CSS, but seriously, if you’re using IE switch to the Fox. It saves us all a lot of headaches and its makes your browsing experience safer, faster, and all around better.
Apologies for the non-anime post, I should have a review of Goshuushou-sama Ninomiya-kun up soon. I just mainly need to get unlazy and take the screencaps.

Myself; Yourself ~Episodes 1-4~
By Ace | October 28, 2007
This series has stolen my heart and is quite possibly my favorite series this season. I’m not entirely sure what it is about it that appeals to me so much, but I think part of it is because I’m a fan of sappy love stories and that’s what this is turning out to be.

New Theme, Polls are open
By Ace | October 28, 2007
Finally finished a decent theme to add since I upgraded to 2.3, and that means I can actually post polls now >.<
For a little background information on the poll, this is actually just a random thought I had while ranting about the Japanese industry and fansub debate and I was kind of curious how others felt. Nothing really more to it.

Wordpress 2.3 (finally) and Soon a New Theme
By Ace | October 25, 2007
I finally got around to install WP2.3 and after playing with it for a few minutes, I think I like the changes (granted, I hadn’t upgraded in so long, I think I was coming from 1.8 >.>)
Also, hopefully either before the end of this week or early next week, I intend to update my blog’s appearance with a new theme (had this one right at 10 months now) so be on the look out for that. About the same time I should finally release my review on Myself;Yourself and Goshuushou-sama Ninomiya-kun with any luck.
I’ll be honest, this is more a post to actually test out the new WYSIWYG editor and see if it still mangles HTML like the old one did. You can disregard this.
EDIT: You know, I got excited because I finally figured out how to create polls since I updated, then I found out that I can’t use the widget until I make a new theme T.T Oh well, just more motivation for me to re-theme this thing.

More Thoughts on the Issue at Hand
By Ace | October 24, 2007
Follow up to my most recent post.
After putting some more thought into the situation, I realized that my previous post may have made me come across as an advocate of piracy (at least as far as anime is concerned). I wish to stress that this is not the case, quite the opposite actually.

Japan Asks America to Stop It
By Ace | October 24, 2007
Source: Japan Asks America to Stop Illegal Net Releases of Anime - ANN
Okay, seriously, are Americans supposed to be scared now? I know the part about anime was only something like 9 lines out of a 50 page document, but they just keep pushing and pushing this point.

School Days ~Final Impressions~
By Ace | October 23, 2007
You know, I really don’t know what to say about this series. I’ve sat and brooded on how and what to post for the past week or so, and even though eventually I’m going to go back and do a much deeper look after watching from the beginning again, for now I have but this to say.
Moral of the story: Don’t put your dick in too many chicks unless you want to end up… Woah! Nice Boat!

Fall Season
By Ace | October 5, 2007
After digging through what this season has to offer, I didn’t find anything too horribly enticing just yet, but there’s still things yet to premiere unless my mind has wandered off, so I’m not giving up hope yet. For now, there is one series that I find interesting at least, Clannad.
Now, when I say interesting, that doesn’t mean “ZOMG, GO OUT AND WATCH THIS SERIEZ NAO!” so I’ll just give you my criteria and let you be the judge.
