Spice and Wolf #1

Tag: Anime, Spice and Wolfcardcaptor @ 1:04 pm

I dig slice of life. Spice and Wolf should be slice of life, right? I don’t care about that any more. I’ll watch this show for Horo. She has all THE ATTRIBUTES. 250-year-old non-human who take a shape of a young girl? I dig that. Street smart? I dig that. Speaking like an oiran? I dig that. “Wacchi?” I dig that. Fox ears and tails? I guess I dig that. Staying naked for almost all the episode? Didn’t expect this, but YES!


I’m never wrong about assessing people. You are an ephebophile, a masochist, and a lover of furry. Continue reading “Spice and Wolf #1″

Making Money out of Free Anime?

Tag: Opinioncardcaptor @ 2:27 pm

Over at his post on copyright, omo got into an argument with Avatar on copyright over anime. Avatar’s argument is that, since making anime is so costly, you cannot let people torrent anime like music, manga, or any other media. Animators has to be fed so that they get their jobs done before the next episode airs. Someone has to pay for all this.

True. But that doesn’t mean that free download should be more controlled. Anime studios (not distributors) may be able survive through other means. In fact, in Free Culture, Lawrence Lessig (who Avatar claimed was going to kill anime) suggested a number of ways to make money out of free content. (His context is music, but it should be equally applied to movies as well.)

Rental Magica #13

Yes, I’m still watching the series though my resolve to blog it is so really easily chattered. The series kind of went downhill for me because there has been nothing really happening story-wise. I’m also getting sick of Itsuki. Spewing kindness around to random human and ghosts makes him so unhuman.

But #13 is different. It’s about Honami and Addie! In their loli forms! Winnage! We also get some character development: Addie has been a bitch since then, and Honami’s strong resolve was due to the fact that she screwed up so bad before. All in all, nice animation and little conflict they build here in this episode.


My name is Adilicia Lenn Mathers, descendant of King Solomon. The only thing I can say now is “Forneus” (damn you lazy animators), but that doesn’t stop me from being an arrogant bitch. Continue reading “Rental Magica #13″
