Dec 20 Samurai Champloo a new record

2008-12-19T15:22:00.000-08:00

The Stockrooms closed and everyones brought out the champaign for the end of year breakup Xmas party, I thought I better write this up since Ive had a few and ill start yelling at company managers to pull their head in soon"eyecandy".Any one else get Hay fever or is it just me, I never used to but its starting to kill me, or it could just be the Jack Daniels I have right now, we will never know.

Dec 13 Samurai Champloo a new hit

2008-12-12T14:06:00.001-08:00

Subs trouble in most areas combined with new companies to hit the market, It seems to be going through its shonen faze, if any readers out here know of any other niche companies that aren't listed drop us a line and I can have a chat to the editor to chuck em in."Ill have a Gankutsuou stops halfway, thanks".Two new ones this week, hope your paying attention, also that stock ticker bar isn't just

Dec 5 Artfag is the new Aristocrat

2008-12-05T18:28:00.000-08:00

New Company this week while others fail. I on the other hand drink fine imported sake and lulz down upon everyone."My room, true story".The rundown for the week. Since I have nothing better to say here, I was thinking we might put something insightful in these spaces, or classy/tasteful Yuri porn perhaps, your call.Bleach - NC* $24.75Kurozuka - ↓ 6.½ $17.50 totalNaruto - ↑ 4.¾ $34.50 totalSoul

Hiatus no more. ASX now with 20% more hate.

2008-11-28T14:54:00.000-08:00

I'm keeping it short and sweet. No fancy formatting or anything. To sum it all up, the ASX is back up and running, no thanks to me (except for y'know, putting together a fucking sweet site and all), and full credit to Morgin Black because he's far more motivated than me when it comes to putting up faux stock reports on anime series.Now before you get your imaginary hopes up, that doesn't mean you

The Run Down

2008-11-19T01:37:00.001-08:00

For the sake of interest we are starting a few again on twenty, for market balance and because of bush's depression, but thanks to the government Bailout for my Christmas bonus, more traders are on there way for the new fiscal quarter. Just enough time for us to find some new running anime made not of fail, loli, and pedo."desu".Last weeks trading went well mostly due to fillers drying off but

Market trading

2008-11-17T01:24:00.000-08:00

Welcome traders, Morgin Blackwell James Rosenberg here, new to the front lines on reporting in the battleground states of the world stock markets. The godly luck we have been given to be in the depths of the worlds 3rd depression where the market battles are there fiercest and most exciting is an excellent time for a young apprentice to first make his mark under the watchful eye of the founder

Subs vs Dubs (breaking new ground in blogging!)

2007-06-27T01:13:00.000-07:00

I'll get straight to the first point: Fuck you dubfans.Little backstory; I started writing this a month or so ago with the opinion that "hey, you like what you like.. it's not my place to tell someone how to watch something" and I was going to do a piece looking at the pros and cons of both.But the more I thought about it, the more this whole dub-community started looking bizarre to me, and I

Loli Straight finale and a slight look back

2007-06-03T13:53:00.000-07:00

Perfect screencap for a reflection, THX UFOTBL KEKEKE ^_^I'm a little late getting to this, but episode 12 of Manabi Straight has finally made it's way through my backlog and I would be a bit of a dick if I didn't comment on it's greatness.Overall Manabi Straight was a better than average series, but that ending was the real deal. I wasn't so sure about an epilogue episode after them pulling out

Whoops, just to add to my last post...

2007-05-31T01:57:00.000-07:00

I also dropped "Id0lm@$73R Xen()GlOssiA" and "Nanoha Lyrical StrikerS" or whatever it's called after three eps each. Bleh to both of them. Even penguins can't contain me.

Remember me? OMG HEROES COMEBACK

2007-05-31T00:20:00.000-07:00

Well, it's been a while since the last post eh? I haven't even had a chance to read other people's blogs due our household finally moving up to next-gen with an xbox 360. Luckily for one fortunate ASX fan out there, I've sprained my pinky and index fingers and have been sidelined from Guitar Hero II for a short while (Gamertag: "Crayotic" lawl plug).So I'll make this a quick one (look forward to

El Cazador De La Buja 1 (AKA: "I'm sure it's already been mentioned 100 times but...")

2007-04-11T17:03:00.000-07:00

Wound? What wound?A professional assassin bounty hunter tracks down a softly spoken mysterious girl complete with amnesia, hidden mad skillz, and a big reward on her head. Together, they've got to figure out this girl's secret past, while doing shooting other assassins bounty hunters, set to an awesome techno slash classical foreign soundtrack, while the audience wonders what the fuck is

Ghost Hunt 23-24 (AKA: "Ghost Hunt is last season's dark horse")

2007-03-26T16:50:00.000-07:00

I haven't got much time to write this; because my new Nintendo Wii beckons me, you'll have to excuse the lack of witticism and gay jokes, temporarily. Sorry.I've just finished watching GH eps 22 and 23, and this new case kicks so much ass, it's as if it's ass-kicking foot has four other legs attached. And a Tong Po-like fist wrapped in glass shards. Not only have they managed to consecutively up

Editorial/Rant: I'm an elitist dick.

2007-03-21T17:31:00.000-07:00

American Anime Industry: Put your hands up, and calmly step away from the mainstream. This is an order.Not to be a jerk, but I'm really against anime gaining any more popularity than it currently has. Don't get me wrong, I want Bandai and ADV and Akamatsu Ken to eat as much as the next guy. Give em your money and the TV ratings. Just not so much that they start buying diamond studded yachts and

No way! A look at Kanon 24?? (AKA "Neon Genesis Evankanonian")

2007-03-18T14:41:00.000-07:00

I won't waste your time other than to say Kanon was great overall, Mai~i rocks, Clannard looks spiffy, and I'd sorely been missing "Ahaha~" from my diet. Oh, and I'll leave you with this picture.

Gathering Witch Yuki Nagato preorder GET!

2007-03-17T16:50:00.000-07:00

For those of you Haruhi nuts who just can't quite seem to spend your money fast enough, the beautiful witch Yuki w/guitar is now available for preorder at e2046 through their fucking expensive Gathering line of figures. Don't let the chance pass you by like the original black bunny suit Haruhi did me T_TGO SPEND MONEYS, MONKEYBOY

Kenichi 11: (AKA "Aw man, but drawing is such hard work...")

2007-03-16T10:54:00.000-07:00

*Previously on Kenichi, Kenichi dodged a blazing punch, with the powuh of GUTS AND TRAINING*Okay look, I've said before that I love this series in spite of how by-the-books and cheap looking it is. But this is just pushing the limits. Does the whole fighting genre catch such a bum deal when it comes to animation? Not that I watch a slew of them, but Kekkaishi is the only one I can think of that

Mahou Sensei Negima (manga) sorta-news!

2007-03-11T13:55:00.000-07:00

News stolen from AICN anime section stolen from Comipress and direct to you!Ken Akamatsu's Mahou Sensei Negima! Part 1 (First Semester) ended in the latest issue of Weekly Shonen Magazine. According to Ken Akamatsu's online dairy (2/27 entry), Part 2 (Summer Break) will begin within a few weeks (possibly in Shonen Magazine issue 16, on sale 3/21).Ken Akamatsu also mentioned on his dairy that a

ANN on why AIR and Kanon coming stateside is troublesome

2007-03-10T20:39:00.000-08:00

The quick summary is that they're overpriced licenses and the audience who would buy the DVDs are a bunch of annoying fags like you and me.>>Anime News Network SOURCE<< (you'll have to scroll down)You manage to do a pretty good job summing up why shows like AIR or Kanon are unlikely to be licensed for release in the States, actually. From what I've heard speaking with various and sundry industry

Cheap Recap: Chocotto Sister 11 (AKA "Boo hoo hoo, I like girls with zero personality")

2007-03-10T17:50:00.000-08:00

*Chitose can't believe Kawagoi would rather get pedo wit it than handle her dirty pillows*Choco, her brother, and the hot apartment manager finish up their pervy weekend. Kawagoi thinks he sees Ayu about to suicide herself, and then starts acting like a bitch-made chump.This is a too-often seen trend in anime, where you have a light hearted fluff series.. and then suddenly, they throw in a

Stock Report: Bleach 118 (AKA "Kanako Ohno would definitely fap to this")

2007-03-09T18:47:00.000-08:00

Shiny.Rukia gets pwned, animation levels go up, and Kubo Tite attempts to write Ikkaku as more than "that bald guy who got punked ages ago."Investors were quite pleased with Bleach's performance this week, after a surprisingly weak-sauce outing last Friday. Analysts cite the abundance of sword clashing and manly-man talk being key factors into BLCH gains. However, there were many who found it a

Cheap Recaps: Naruto Shipuuden 4 (AKA "Who got sand in your vag'?")

2007-03-02T19:00:00.000-08:00

Grrrr A lot more Gaara action this episode as it focused on his fight with the bubblegum hands guy, with the conclusion to Kakashi's test taking more of a backseat.It was very liberating to see that I have exactly the same weakness as Kakashi. So I guess that means I = Awesome? Probably so... probably so.And is making kamikaze origami all that Akatsuki guy can do? Because that's not exactly l33t

Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto 13 (AKA: "playwrights are GAR")

2007-02-27T18:56:00.000-08:00

Investors were surprised by a sudden surge in Tuesday trading.Booting up bsplayer there was no doubt in my mind; I was 110% resolute. There was NO WAY that I was continuing after episode 13. This would most certainly be the last time I watch this convoluted series with more confusing names and supporting cast members than Pani Poni Dash. Definitely.Especially after we discovered how the
