Black Lagoon vol. 1
From the second I hit play, I knew Black Lagoon was two-hands of awesome. I love the opening of the show. It’s got guitar on shredd, pounding drums, and some rock diva screaming into the microphone. Lately, openings have been very pop driven, glossy, and polite. An opening with shredded guitars like in Black Lagoon [...]
Pachira PVC, La Vampire Chica
I was a little surprised at the popularity of this Pachira is Vampire figure from Max Factory — a second run was announced before I even received my first run figure (thanks to my cc classing anime girl pvc figures from Japan as suspicious activity).

In the beginning, it might not have felt that way, seeming like it was going to do the standard anime thing and waste the first eight episodes on throwaway plots that are just lame vehicles for [...]
Summer Con Tips
I love the summer anime convention season. The whole being in this place where everybody gets your dorky little obsession still has magic for me, even after seven or eight years of going to anime and comic book conventions. I’m definitely going to Otakon and maybe to either AnimeNext (1-2 hours away) or Animazement if [...]
Come See the Himekuri Girl
“See the Himekuri Image Girl,” said the barker to all passerbyes of his yellow and purple striped carnival tent. “Gentlemen, don’t miss this beauty straight from Kaiyodo!” Larger Image
