The song Uso, is sang by SID and was released on 29.04.2009

The accident occurred on April 14 when Kawaguchi was going out to get lunch and skidded in the rain. The fracture occurred …

I ish a new post zen <3

Hohohoho~I wonder if the all powerful Zenical will be mad that I’m publishing this post. But I know she can’t say no to Lulz frog.
I was abducted by aliens busy with Uni and finals the last few months. But summer vacation begins today… in other words I will be marathoning anime and blogging anime-ish news frequently over the next few months assuming the American economy doesn’t collapse to the extent that poor college students like me are sold into slavery to work in the secret under ground kyrptonite mines where …

Basquash on Youtube

It seems that Kadokawa Anime Channel is streaming the first two episodes of the anime series Basquash on Youtube!
Curious whether Basquash is worth catching, I checked up the plot summary from ANN. Here it is as quoted:
On the planet Earthdash, its inhabitants gaze on its moon and the technologically advanced lunar city of Mooneyes with awe. Dan JD, a boy living in Rollingtown on Earthdash’s surface, gets caught up in Bigfoot Basketball — a fast-paced sport played with giant Bigfoot robots.

It sounds fun, a mixture of mecha plus sports? Maybe …

Fake Eva: 2.0’s Honda Resigns from College Lecturer Position

How long do you think you can lie and trick people into believing that you are someone special or talented? Well this College Lecturer managed to trick two universities into believing that he is Takeshi Honda for 8 YEARS.

Khara, the anime studio founded by Evangelion creator and director Hideaki Anno, announced on Friday that a person had been misappropriating the name of Khara animator Takeshi Honda to teach at two universities.
However the real Honda has not been teaching classes in universities or vocation schools. In an investigation that it began …
