We’ve been online three years
April fools day 2007 was the day we decided to go live with this site and in the three years we’ve been around a lot of things have happened. We’ve witnessed a second season, movie and Endless Eight. However the future seems pretty dark for this series, yes I know the Second Season is coming over to the U.S. and the Movie will be in English one day as well. As you can see in the past months we’ve changed the look of this site gearing up for the day when Haruhi might not be popular, there are some who say that day has come, maybe it has, I don’t think it has but…
I’m hoping to be here for the long run however long that run might be… Happy third birthday to us. Although coming from myself it might seem a bit self-serving.
Our prayers for a speedy recovery go out to Miss Aya Hirano… You’re missed already…
To Miss Christina Vee, one day you’ll be Haruhi… Right now the establishment doth calleth the shots…
Girls’ Generation “Run Devil Run” MV
At the end of the “Oh!” Music Video we were given a clue concerning a new look and music style for the group. This is the result. I’ll let you be the judge.
Bakacast Episode 4 – This Is Absurd
Okay, we took about 3 weeks to release this episode, but it’s twice as long as the others. So it’s almost like we’re on time!
You can download the episode directly, subscribe to our RSS feed or get it from iTunes.
We kick off our news segment with Funimation’s decision to censor the Dance in the Vampire Bund DVD’s (which they quickly reconsidered), followed by short discussions of Media Blasters’ layoffs and whether the American anime industry should just die. Paul “Otaking” Johnson’s fansub documentary closes out the news and provides us with a topic Ryoko, Shamisen and I can agree on before we start arguing about The Wings of Honneamise and Cromartie High School.
Next time: Project A-Ko! Casshern Sins! And punctuality (maybe)!
Minori Chihara MV’s
Here we feature Minori Chihara the voice of Yuki Nagato. The first music video is indicative of her normal singing style. This bright and cheery number is only excelled by Minori singing in a rain shower.
The next example is done in the style of the Big Band singers of the 1940’s, here Minori performs Paradise Lost used as the opening theme song to the anime Ga-rei -Zero- in which she voices the main character Kagura Tsuchimiya.
Enjoy…
Bakacast Episode 3 – Lucky Star Wars
You can download the episode directly or subscribe using our RSS feed or the iTunes store.
For this episode, we talk about the legality (or lack thereof) of the Chris Handley case that’s been going on for two years now, followed by our thoughts on whether Nippon Ichi Software America’s venture into anime licensing will succeed. Then, in the review section, we trip out on Interstella 5555 and bravely don our flame-shields to give our mixed opinions on Lucky Star.
Regarding Chris Handley:
- This is the latest entry in the ongoing saga.
- This article contains the law he was accused of violating
- And this is the Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition case Handley’s defense used to argue for precedent
Regarding NIS America:
- This is ANN’s news story on the announcement
Regarding Lucky Star
- So, that obscure reference to an anime store that Jon mentioned not quite understanding? The Anime World Order explained it in their review. The shownotes I just linked to have comparison videos of the joke, too.
Regarding the spring season:
- chartfag released a new anime season chart. Thanks, chartfag!
Girls’ Generation / F(x) ‘Chocolate Love’ (MV)
This year we are celebrating Valentines Day a little differently. The song is called ‘Chocolate Love’ something near and dear to those who want something special on valentines day. These two examples are also indicative of chocolate as well, Light and Dark. Enjoy, and from all of us. Happy Valentines Day.
