Impz needs Singaporean anime fans! Please help!

Yes, Impz is currently doing his coursework for his graduate studies and require assistance from SINGAPOREAN anime fans to do a survey. It will only take you less than 5-10 minutes to complete and will be crucial for my coursework as I require 1000 respondents.
Please take your time if you are a Singaporean, and complete the survey.
The link of the survey can be found here (for extra spamming powers!)
Cheers!
Regards,
Impz
Saiunkoku Monogatari II Episode 20 – “暖簾に腕押し”

As Shuurei and Santa arrived at Kochou’s brothel, they started to wonder about the imitation painting. Shuuei, Seiran, Ryuuki and Kouyuu were also on their way to Kochou to acquire more about Heki Yuukoku. Will Ryuuki and Shuurei finally meet each other, or will they hide from each other . It is also puzzling who the man with the golden raccoon was, as well as the seller who sold him this golden raccoon statue among other things
. What is behind this huge influx of fake paintings?
It’s time for Shuurei, the supposedly exiled official to think once again and investigate this strange phenomena.

Katsura says you are guilty.
Hauptmann Katsura has finally earned her rank and redeemed herself, sadly Sekai after mauling Itou was killed in action after being outfought by Hauptmann Katsura. Like any posthumous slayer of evil, Sekai will be awarded with the Anime Medal of Freedom. She would have gotten an Anime Medal of Honor had she not slept with the enemy. Even if she is dead I hope she is most grateful. Ironically enough Hauptmann translates to “head man” a most fitting title for Hauptmann Katsura if I do say so myself. So here goes the Homeric poem of the slaying of Itou…

Finally, we are coming close to the conclusion of the series. This match is going to end very soon, with Nishiura leading 5-4. With the game going to the last inning, it is make or break for Tosei. However, their fourth batter is waiting in the lines to end the trip. Will he be able to smash apart the defence of Nishiura, as well as the fast weakening Mihashi?
Or will Nishiura hold out and grab the win by the narrowest of margins? The answer is within.
6 commentsBamboo Blade preview – A kendo harem show?

I was just checking on some new fall anime, and this is one of the short previews for an upcoming series, Bamboo Blade. From the graphics, it looks like a chirpy decent school series with kendo as the backdrop. I really cannot tell anything yet from this series, but the graphics looks at least decent. There is really no harm watching at least the first episode of it. For the video itself, you can watch it via this youtube video.
8 commentsThe Fifth Battle of the Admin Box: I am not dead yet…

When I signed up to join the military I never thought that my job would really go beyond firing weapons and cleaning miscellaneous things. Sadly the reality is that paper work takes up more of a person’s time than going to the shooting range. So my latest paper work snafu was thankfully short and if all goes well there should be no problems. Like my school forwarding the request for payment to the wrong service, or getting me confused with some other guy in some other branch that has a similar sounding name. I hope that this will conclude my latest Batte of the Admin Box, though I have a sinking feeling that this is going to happen again.
I really do apologize for falling so egregiously behind, but by some hiccup of fate I am forever doomed to suffer under the yoke of bureaucracy both civilian and military. I finally got my education stipend and now can go back to slaving away as a student again…not that I particularly look forward to it. I also finally finished by freaking paper work that I submitted in April which got kicked back to me via super fast HQ mail telling me to fill out another form, if only they would be that quick in resolving pay issues… Still there is much to be done and my unhappy fate is to be forever on some damned misadventure…
5 commentsA new poll: My favorite harem stereotype – The tsundere, who else?

Wow, it is really rare to see a period where all bloggers of THAT Anime Blog are so busy, but I guess that this is the actual scenario right now. From my knowledge, Crusader is getting killed with gunshots with his real life endeavors (he’s the military man after all), I am getting swallowed by lolis passing tons of paperwork over my poor head, Briar hindered by news-chasing tabloid antics, while Lupus and Shokkeru are eaten up by the “I-cannot-write-to-save-my-life” metabug. So, that is the reason why the blog is rather quiet the past two days. That is, if you are wondering how these bloody lazy bloggers are not writing at all.
On a completely different (and non-depressing note), if there is any harem stereotype that is the fan favorite, it must be the tsundere. No, even though many of you might suspect this statement, my favorite harem stereotype is not loli simply because the tsundere possesses many endearing qualities that cannot be rivaled by a loli. It is also really logical to state that my girlfriend (despite separated by two continents) is a true blue real life tsundere. Hence, as a sit in for a post before my next post on Ookiku Furikabette episode 24, this is a short poll for you.
Do you like real life tsunderes?
P/S: To those who are wondering about what will happen to Satoko, my nephew took a liking for it. I gave it to him. Before you think I did a good deed, I like to remind all that the percentage of toys that my 6 year old nephew breaks within 3 weeks after playing with it (and figurines being a soft fragile thing) is close to 70%.
Have fun.
