For Britannia!
So I was reading Armchair General again, a publication big on military history and spitting on politics, and I got an idea while doing a map exercise. We all know that Lulu has a Geass, or as I call it the “Fuck You” button, or the “Just as Planned” switch, but I wonder if the Britannian situation is really all that unsalvageable. So I propose that you the reader come up with your own grand scheme to defeat Lulu. Are you an unimaginative twat like Clovis or are you capable of wielding the supple amalgam of the Britannian military might at levels that exceed Cornelia, Schnizel, and Suzaku? Are you utterly convinced that you cannot win and thus bend over to get ass raped by a deposed prince who gets out run by women in dresses or are you a tough son of bitch who has the vision to make Lulu squeal and compel him to surrender C2 and Kallen into your loving arms?
Kasahara Iku is an officer working under the Task Force. She has never truly buckled under the immense stress faced in her work. Kasahara is a heroine, being the only female officer who is good enough to be under the Task Force. However, her biggest challenge ever is arriving right to the doorstep of her work place.
It’s time for World War III to happen. Or in other words, her parents are coming. What kind of ammunition will she use to defend herself? By the way, the three preview shots are just so cute, huh? Oh, my fansub decided to drop Library war, but since Menclave is doing such a good job, there’s no need for another group.
It seems like WhiteLight subs, headed by the silly timer Giggle-tan, has finally set up their first solo project. Impz is the translator that knows absolutely nothing, but we do promise good translation due to our wonderful QCs and an excellent encoding. As WhiteLight has no official website as yet, I will be using THAT Anime Blog to broadcast the news. We are also working on Episode 2-5 of Neo Angelique Abyss.
You can find more information of the fansub here. Cheers and tell us how it is on our IRC channel at Rizon!
Edit: The HD version .mkv {720p} for Episode 1 according to our encoder (I am no techie) is up.
Synopsis
Today on Boing Boing tv, a sneak peek inside TOKYOLOGY, a new documentary exploring contemporary Japanese pop-culture hosted by Carrie Ann Inaba. Oh, what adventures await: sneak behind the scenes at a Japanese Rock TV show that pretends it’s shot in Los Angeles, cruise Harajuku, go clubbing with goth girls in Shinjuku, shop for shoes with Lolitas, experience the madness of the Tokyo Anime Fair, visit a video game company, browse the streets of Akihabara, and meet anime creator Yoshitoshi Abe.
Impz says: A video about Yoshitoshi Abe is always awesome. It’s only a short excerpt of the full documentary, but looks interesting too. It’s worth your five minutes. In addition, Vampire Knight will not be blogged this week, as Reverse Vampire wants to blog on it. She will do it when the subs are out.
So I was waiting for my food at a new local café and started watch the TV it was a Korean film a rather old Korean Film, 200 Pound Beauty or something like that. So yeah I kind of loitered at the restaurant until it ended ordering a few more things and eating slowly. Good thing it was a slow day and yeah I tipped better that day too. At any rate it was a good film and I admit I nearly got teary eyed in public at the end but was able to hold them back by summoning all the hatred from my being.
Hi again. So here’s the dealio: I just got a brand new blog over at http://itsubun.dasaku.net/, courtesy of digiwombat. For those who are interested, plz update your blogroll. Future anime/manga editorials will be posted both here and over at itsubun. Although I will update itsubun more often with my own thoughts and opinions on a variety of Japanese media in which my entries will be a lot more free with the crazies and the personal because the mentality is –> my blog, my comfort, my freedom of expression. Now let’s start.
Before I actually picked up the nominally controversial Kodomo no Jikan and read it, I had heard so many interesting things about the series. And most of what I picked up through the grapevines go something like this: child porn, fan service gone too far, immoral justification of pedophilia, cannot be licensed due to being inappropriate for US audiences [because apparently we’re just so fucking moral-minded and too pure to be tainted by such appalling narratives from Asian countries with their exoticized sexuality and their kama sutra].
After hearing all of that I was like, “OMG! No way! That’s disgusting! [I wanna see!] How can something like that even be allowed to be published? [Me see! Me see!]”
So eventually [inevitably] I got the manga, read it, and found that I have much to say about it.
Kodomo no Jikan [A Child’s Time] is about an elementary school teacher who gets assigned to his first class of 3rd graders. In the class is Rin, problem child extraordinaire, who develops strong feelings towards him and goes to great lengths to seduce him. Lengths that include (but are not limited to): sexual extortion, nude cell phone pictures, spermy haikus, exhibition of various loli parts, and… you get the gist that series is a step up from your standard ecchi. That’s the synopsis in a nutshell.

THAT Wall of the Week: The Vanishment of Haruhi Suzumiya by jaoi55
Thoughts: Have we not all been wondering where Haruhi-sama hath vanished to? WTF Kyoto, give me Haruhi or give me death…or at least more Full Metal Panic. You have to admit, this wall is hawt stuff. Makes me think the Haruhi crew is going all mob-style on us. Kyon + Tommy Gun = WIN.
Rating: 9/10 I give it a high rating for it’s incredible sense of style. And for the fact that it does exactly what it intends to do…portrays Haruhi’s disappearance as the cold cut mystery that it is (and we get to be detectives!).
How to improve it: You’ll find out after the jump!
