Life update

1. Focus retreat - SO MUCH FUN 10/10 but I don't want to do the activities ever again! Highlight would be staying in the mud for 2 hours which was GOD DAMN FREEZING. I was one of the people who were standing on the rear end of people and I could see almost everyone just shaking to death ahaha.



Another good one was the going over the bridge and I was scared triple time because 1. I'm scared of heights 2. I didn't want to fall in icy water 3. Pretty much no clothes left 4. Kohei fell in already so there is much possibility of me falling 5. The plank so short in width 6. The plank SHAKES NOOOO 7. Justin 2big4me. So yeah the mental pressure was driving me crazy. When we were just about to swap position I thought I felt a time of near eternity holycrap. But I just clung on Justin and it was over in no time. I think I screamed out in happiness afterwards lul.

Your Brief History Of Giant Robots

So GUILLERMO DEL TORO's PACIFIC RIM opened last weekend and there are some people who think it's a rip-off of TRANSFORMERS.

Genshiken Nidaime 01: Then and Now, There and Here

This will be my first full official episodic cover of an anime series in over 2 years and I think no series is more appropriate and more deserving than this one right here. For a very long time Genshiken has been a series that is very close to my heart, those who know me very well will testify to the fact that this show occupy's the very top spot in y heart for favourite series right alongside Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (and that's saying something). I started reading the Genshiken manga back in High School and at once I felt a strong connection with the character of Sasahara; I saw a great deal of my younger self in him, all of the desire to find a place to express feelings that I wasn't entirely sure would be accepted or tolerated by others and yet unwilling all the same to truly let myself go even if I did find such a place. The story of the initial part of Genshiken is the story of Sasahara's growth and in it's own way it was the story of mine as well. Though I never found a rag-tag group of quirky otaku misfits like he did, I learned to accept the truth and beauty of being who I was at all times no matter the circumstances through the adventures of their special little club. Much like with TTGL, Genshiken shaped the course of my life in ways great and small and is very much a part of who I am today.



That however, was then and this is now. Nowadays, though I still follow the Manga and everything Kio Shimoku has put out since then, I have a lot more on my plate and life calls for a slowing down of the heavy investment of time and energy into the things we once thought were so important to us so that we can take care of the responsibilities of "adult" life. I have grown up since the first time I started following this series and amazingly, thankfully, so have the members of the Genshiken as well.

Anime North, and a group gathering at Hooters :)

Missed last weekends events, so this one will be a huge post



Anime North is essentially a large convention where fans of Anime, Japanese style animation, gather to meet, dress up as their favourite characters from these Tv series.

What is this... Favorite Anime? REVISITED

Back in October 2011, . At the time, I had a somewhat limited watch history and, to be honest, I hadn't quite thought some of them through. I figure it's about time I fix that. This time around I'm going to do it by genre instead of just naming a bunch of the same genre and copping out on the others. Variety is the spice of life, you know?



THE REQUIREMENTS: According to my friends, I have some very high standards when it comes to animated shows, and I can't really dispute that. I do have high standards for shows because I've seen so many incredible shows and can't tolerate anything less. Most of these will meet every requirement, but some might not. Some are non-negotiable, like a decent story and likable characters, while others, like animation and music, are important but won't completely ruin an anime if they aren't superb. "Graphics aren't everything" we gamers like to say...

Why Every Anime is Set in High School

Anyone that has watched enough anime outside the shounen and fantasy genres notices that every other show seems take place in a high school. They feature characters that are high school students, or are based on a certain kind of after school clubin a high school.While fanservice potential no doubt contributes to the reason this is such a prolific setting, I believe the perfusionthink it stems from cultural norms.



There's a Japanese proverb, "the nail that sticks out gets hammered down", which I'm sure feels right at home in the rigid, protocol-filled Japanese society. Japanese people are expected to conform to societal expectations and behavior by the time they enter the professional world. While they are in the education system learning about science, history, and the 50 billion kanji they need to know to be literate, they still have some freedom to act like fun-loving teenagers instead of like robots responsible, conforming adults. Due to the less strict environment and the fact that schools are a powerhouse of social interaction, characters are much more likely to express their personalities. No doubt this is where many of the archetypes that come up in every main character's class come from.

Names You Should Know: Hiroyuki Imaishi

This is part of a new series I've wanted to do about some of the less-well known names in anime. I'm not sure how it is in other countries, but there isn't much familiarity with the anime industry in America. Sure, any self-respecting convention-goer may be able to rattle off a whole string of names, but the average American would be hard-pressed to name one...and that one name would probably be Hayao Miyazaki (thanks, ). Fortunately, just as there is more than one great director running around Hollywood, there are plenty more great anime directors in the Land of the Rising Sun. Here's one:



Hiroyuki Imaishi. This name probably means nothing to you now, but you've definitely heard of him. He got his start doing key animation on projects like Diebuster, Kare Kano, and FLCL (he directed the), but his big break came when he made his debut as series director for one of the greatest mecha of all time: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. The show went on to win the Excellence Prize at the Japan Media Arts Festival () and developed a devoted fan base.
