Behold! The latest craze to reach the Otaku population, "Caramelldansen"!
I don't know how this started but suddenly I was seeing this in a lot of people's avatars in the Animesuki forums. I didn't even recognise the dance was from the OP of an adult visual novel game named "Popotan" that I watched long ago during the 56k days....
Remember Kaguya (AKA, "Selene"), the lunar probe that was launched from Tanegashima a few months ago? It doesn't really have much to do with "5 Centimetres per Second" but since the island was used as a setting in the movie, I thought I would put this post under that category anyway just like the last one. It was interesting to find the...
Just two weeks left until the visual novel game "Code Geass Lost Colors" is out and I just happened to come across this scan that shows the differences between the PS2 and PSP versions.
In both versions players will be able to experience the following scenarios: Besides having an exclusive "Theatre Mode", the PS2 will also have a...
I finally catch up with the show. I hadn’t been able to post summaries until this weekend because I’ve been busy with coursework and migrating my blog over to this new host. It’s good to see the story is picking up from what I’ve missed. Note that you may have a little bit of déjà vu in this latest episode because the events actually happen in...
Snapped this picture a few days ago in a shopping centre because I thought Advanced MP3 Players was just an online store. Their service was great. Quick e-mail responses and fast courier based deliveries so it was interesting to find they had set up a stall here too.
I used to order from them when DAPs only played a limited number of file...
Didn't know the Black Mages are ready to release their third album, "Darkness and Starlight" next week on March 19th. It's been a while since I listened to their rock re-mixes of Final Fantasy music but I remember their first album was great. Second one was so-so because it didn't contain as many good re-mixes, though. On the first...
Episode 9 Summary, The Call from the Sea Eiko was cutting out some scraps out of a newspaper article which talked about the disappearance of some divers who were out at sea near the coasts of Toyama. She gazes at a photo of someone who appears to be herself. It was a holiday and Shin was up earlier than usual. He was in a good mood as he browsed...
I was able to play Eternal Sonata because my brother recently bought himself an Xbox 360 and have packed away his PS2 (which means no P4 for me unfortunately). It was the beautiful graphics and interesting looking battle system that caught my attention on this one.
Originally known as "Trusty Bell: Chopin' no Yume", the story is...
Episode 8 Summary, Under the Camphor Tree Kanaru invites a sleepy Takuro out to meet her alone when it was still only seven in the morning. It seems she had something to hand to him but didn't want to catch too much attention in class. Could it be...? Thinking she was confessing her lover for him, Takuro immediately revealed that he...
And what an exciting name I chose, eh? I actually wanted to go with Xcomp.com or Xcomp.co.uk but both of them had already been taken. I had thought of going with "Xcomp-Yuuenchi" but I don't really intend to keep that name for long. Just didn't want a Japanese word in my domain name for the long term so I arrived at Xcomprandomness...
