Sea creatures!? Why, at about the same time, do we have two anime involving sea creatures? Maybe you have seen either Kuragehime (Jellyfish Princess) or Ika Musume (Squid Girl) mentioned this season, but which aquatic life-based show is more worth your precious viewing time. Let's put these two ladies under a microscope, shall we?
First we have the Noitamina' blocks latest it-girl, Tsukimi. Tsukimi loves jellyfish- perhaps a bit too much.
In the opposite corner is anime's answer to Aquaman (or is Namor more accurate?), Squid Girl. She loves her home (the ocean) so much that she will do anything to protect it- even if it means enslaving the human race.
Enough squawking! It's time to pit these two against one another in deadly anime combat!
Some of you out there may know of the site called That Guy With The Glasses, which is currently a site full of entertainment-loving reviewers who do vidcasts.
Of these, one of my favorites is JesuOtaku, a female anime fan who likes to dissect anime's past and present.
So here she is giving her top 20 favorite opening themes of 2010- even though she hasn't watched some of them (neither have I). After you watch the top 20, I'll share my top 5 opening themes of this year
With the otaku generation taking over at least the male demographic, it would've been no time at all for the light novel and anime industry to pamper over to the female population. This fall the folks at AIC have adapted Tsukasa Fushimi's light novel series Ore no Imōto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai (or Oreimo for short), which is translated as "My little sister can't be this cute." What could've been a funny series has instead transformed itself into kind of a bore-fest.
After its quick and painful death, the MMORPG APB has been stuck in limbo, with rumors of it being resurrected by another developer who would buy it out. First, can anyone remember an MMO that actually got this second chance at
There is a new trend that’s picking up speed lately. High-Definition remakes of games for the Playstation 2 have been coming faster and faster as of late. With God of War Collection earlier this year, The Sly Collection hitting just last week and Ico and Shadow of the Colossus Collection coming next year, there is plenty of disc-based HD PS2 action to go around. Add to that, releasing tonight is an HD downloadable Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time for your playing pleasure. That being said, there is one big question when it comes to these games: What’s wrong with the disc you already have?
Ok, it's technically still Monday and we have a new episode of the ESH podcast for you, so SUPER YAY!
This episode is chock-full of video game stuff... but it also has ANIME
Oh Captain Smiley. How much I wanted to think you were a big bag of awesome. Unfortunately your superpowers are no match for my critical analysis, and dude I have many issues with your video game debut.
In a wonderful turn of events, a little over a week ago, my girlfriend turns to me and says that she would like to help me buy a game. After I awoke from the shock-induced coma, I instantly knew which game I was interested in checking out. We went to the store and like a little boy in a toy store I pointed and jumped at Kirby’s Epic Yarn. I have since played through the entire game and it has been a serious contender for one of my favorite games of this year.
As you may or may not know, NinJa is in the midst of moving/starting a her big-girl-job/sleeping a lot, so there is no podcast this week. We know, we know, you are crushed
First and foremost, Gyakushu is not an Manga, as in Manga with a capital "M." It is currently a motion comic, though. Ohhh, now here's where I actually tell you what Gyakushu is. Gyakushu is a story of vengeance, about a
