Yuuichi’s Crush on an Older Woman

2007-02-25 –

In episode 20 of Kanon (2006), Yuuichi talks to Ayu about his first love. At fifteen minutes into the episode he says
I’m not sure if she’s my first love or not, but I had a crush on an older girl.
Other than that, he recalls her face. We flashback.. Yes, harder, harder oba-chan…

Julian Beever has done some really nice sidewalk pavement artwork perspective drawings. Images are drawn as huge distorted projections on a flat plane, which, when observed from a particular angle, form a smooth 3D insertion into the city scene.

Real Otaku Heroes AMV?

2007-02-04 –

J, I know you’ve shrugged off working on an AMV, with citations of Time, and Perfectionism, and such. (I make similar statements, but might be projecting my feelings onto you. It’s difficult to psychoanalyze.) You also linked Real Otaku Heroes in a recent LJ post.

Kannazuki no Miko – Shoujo-Ai with Mecha

2006-12-24 –

I started watching Kannazuki no Miko purely due to an anime music video that I stumbled upon, which took a pleasant look at the relationship between Chikane and Himeko.

Sonic SatAM – DVD Boxart

2006-12-19 –

Back in September, FUS posted about a DVD collection of Sonic SatAM. I was skeptical. A friend who’s been in contact with Sega heard something.. nah, it seemed to good to be true. Still, over a thousand replies were made to the thread by crazy fanboys. Posted later was a list of planned extras for [...]
