Maid Machinegun: Light Novel Review

I’m kind of disappointed that this novel didn’t make some a pun with the word “maid.” How about something like “Maid in Akihabara?” Oh, wait, that’s an actual TV show…

Batman: Gotham Knight - Anime DVD Review

If you’re like me, you’re totally psyched about The Dark Knight. One way to relieve that Batman pressure building up in your body (besides watching Batman Begins over and over again) is to check out Batman: Gotham Knight. You know, that Batman anime? (Batmanime?)

Dragonball Z Burst Limit - PS3 Game Review

Game Blurb:
The next generation of Dragon Ball Z fighting. Heroic battles of good versus evil, powered by explosive energy and raw emotion lie ahead. Enter the ring and challenge yourself against the legendary fighters from the Dragon Ball Z universe.

Review:
So since my blog is anime-related in nature, someone from Atari asked me to do a review on this new DBZ game. I figure I should probably give my DBZ history as a preface to this review.

Summer Anime 2008

Looks like a bunch of Summer anime are being released and subbed. Hey, is it time to consider which ones I’d watch? That is, if I actually watched anime anymore.

From Moetron’s seasonal list, what pops out at me is the sequel to Mahou Tsukai Taisetsu na Koto. I watched the original series way back when, and all I really remember was that I liked the ED theme by The Indigo. Oh, and CG dolphins or something.

I might watch Hidamari Sketch, but that would require me to watch past the third or so episode of the first series. Yes, Yoshinoya is hot, but hot enough?

There’s Chocolate Underground, which is basically like Library Wars but for chocolate instead of books. Why not make the prohibited object something that anime watchers can relate to? Like eroge or gunpla?

And there’s another season of Zero no Tsukaima. I never got past the second season. But I heard it’s raunchy… Something tells me I should abandon hope of finishing stalled series and just accumulate some new ones.

That’s basically all I’d care to see, if I were actually planning on watching anything. I still really want to check out that Akiba-chan thing, but it’s not even really anime. It’s figumation!

Round Table Feat. Nino: Koi Wo Shiteru (恋をしてる)

My favorite J-pop-ish group (featuring Nino) is back with a single called “Koi Wo Shiteru.” For a while I thought they had died since their last album was out in August 2006!
