Finally Fought My Way Into Wordpress

I haven’t updated this anime blog in a really really long time.  Mostly because of laziness, hee.  (Sorry! =O)  I’ve been wanting to update Sparkle Sparkle, so I updated to the newest version of Wordpress through Dreamhost’s one click install….and then was locked out of my site.
After disabling all my plugins I’m able to log [...]

Manga Organization

Recently I bought an external hard drive to make my laptop a little happier – it was exploding from all sides with anime and manga downloads because I seem to have a problem keeping up with my files.  I’m not that attached to anime downloads, (I pretty much delete them as I watch them), but [...]

Prince to Yobanaide

Prince to Yobanaide is an incredibly fluffy romance story, featuring a tomboy as the main character.  Hoshino is a girl who has fallen in love with a boy at her school, but she feels that she must live up to the role that others have given her: she is considered the school’s prince, even though [...]

Nagareboshi Manga’s 100th Chapter Contest

Nagareboshi Manga is one of my favourite scanlation groups who distribute super cute shoujo series.  If you have never checked them out, you really should.  They’re scanlated many shoujo series, including the ever-so-popular Modotte Mamotte Lollipop, Orange Planet, and Pink Innocent.
They’ve released a new series called  Tabecha Dame, which they warned as being 13+ at least.  It’s a pretty steamy series so [...]

Animation Quality of Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne

I am a huge fan of Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne. I’m pretty much always working on a KKJ related anime music video or manga music video at all times. I have a problem. I can’t help it! My current video project for Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne is a new manga music video. I really enjoyed [...]

Tenshi-Tachi Scanlations Closed

Tenshi-Tachi has closed up shop!  It’s pretty sad news for anyone who is a fan of that website, I’m sure.  I loved many of their series, like Uwasa no Midori-kun, Rhapsody in Heaven, and Boku no Hatsukoi wo Kimi ni Sasagu.  I wish all of the members of the team the best of luck on [...]

Tenshi-Tachi Anniversary Manga Releases

Yesterday was manga group Tenshi-Tachi’s first anniversary!  I’ve been following the releases of this group because they have great tastes in shoujo manga and release beautiful edits.  I was so happy for them yesterday to see their anniversary announcement.  Along with the announcement, they released so much manga!  Aiee!
I personally was just hoping to read [...]

Manga Music Video – Mobile’s Out of My Head [Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne]

I’ve made several anime music videos over the years (catalogued at my animemusicvideos.org profile), but I’d never done a manga music video before.  I’ve watched a lot of them, but many people who create them do little more than a simple slideshow with music.  I really wanted to create a sense of movement despite using still images.  I decided to use the song “Out of My Head” by [...]

In the grand search of manga…

Lately, I’ve been reading a lot of manga.  I haven’t had time to sit down for twenty minutes at a time and watch an anime episode.  I’m caught up on all the series being scanlated by my favourite scanlation groups, but I’ve been trying to broaden my manga reading past my favourites.
I noticed that a [...]
