Ok that’s a lie. But very very close to the truth. Honestly, this week I’ve been a little busy and I haven’t been home alot which explains my lack of anime. That and the fact that I’m feeling a little disappointed in the Spring season -__- . I’ve pretty much stopped watching Gaykery, Allison and Lilia, Slayers, Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto, Itazura na Kiss, Soul Eater, and the list goes on. I do believe I’ll go back and marathon most of these before the fall season hits I’m just not feeling motivated to watch them. The good news is that I’ve started (and almost finished) Aria The Animation ~

However, the world REALLY needs more Haruka.

I guess this is just one of those months where the list of things on my to-do list just seems to be getting longer and longer (and yes manga, I still remember your vectors that I have to finish).

So I thought to myself the other day, “man I haven’t been to bash.org in a while…” and wham!

*UPDATE*
I should have been more clear before, but here are the hosting details:
Bash is too big to be on a shared server.
We have a number of machines already, but are open to either colocating them or using a supplied machine.
Bandwidth is substantial but not ridiculous, remember we have no images, almost entirely text.
A trade or agreement can be made, but we try to:
A) keep the site free and clear of advertising clutter.
B) Not have substantial upkeep, as this is a hobby run by donated time and effort.

So, in effect, we offer some links to the host for their services, but no huge blocks of ads.
Thank you to everyone that has offered services thus far, there are too many to even respond to
and we genuinely appreciate the support from this great community.

———–
We’ll be back up in a few days.
Interested in hosting us? Drop a line to “qdb-info” – AT – bash.org.

Moving on…
I’m at least glad Naruto is back onto main storyline stuff… now if they would stop showing these stupid clips from the movies as the OP.

And Kagamin for Saimoe 2008! (it’s a shame Kaguya lost though… but at least she went down fighting, which is more than what I can say about Kaaya and he humiliating 157 vote exit)

ps. I’ve fixed the rss feed thing so its using Dasaku’s feed burner combo feed. Thanks Hemi.

[17:48] <@Alkenshel> COKE IS A LAZY ASS!
[17:48] <+Cokematic> true that
[17:48] <@Alkenshel> indeed

#dasaku@irc.rizon.net – where intelligent conversations take place … sometimes.

So I will be away from work for 5 days in a row (although 4 days have already passed)… without taking a vacation! partially thanks to typhoon tropical cyclone Nuri which is a cooler name than Fay, but that’s not really the point of this post. I spent most of the past 4 days doing nothing except chatting on IRC, playing some GTA4, and watching AIRA The Animation.

First off, many thanks to pantherRH for bringing this to my attention in the dasaku IRC channel:

First thought that came to mind was “DO WANT!!!” … I’m particularly interested in the “Day of Saggitarius” getup. The other one is… if-SOS-dan-forms-a-band getup? Its also quite cute, except Kyon and Istuki look totally gay.

Honestly, I’m not too into figures. I’ve never owned a figure that cost more more than $15 USD (it was a red Canti figure .. unfortunately.. his head snapped off a few years back T_T). Also, the last time I bought these Nendoroid petits, I was going for Kagamin. Unfortunately, I got a Konata, Miyuki and even Tsukasa! And when I went back to the store… they were sold out T_T.

Anyways, according to Jop, if I buy a case of 12, I should at least expect getting the set of 10 (and maybe the secret figure if I’m lucky). However, he was refering to the Negima set he bough .. which is not a Nendoroid petit set from Good Smile Company, so it may not apply here. If I can find someone to buy the doubles off me.. then I won’t mind buying two crates of them (amounting to 24 .. which should definately get me the set… unless I’m super unlucky… which might actually happen). If anyone out there has bought a case of Nendoroid petite, please let me know if I can get the whole set (not including the secret figure) in a case of 12!!

Also, Nendoroid Shana and Hatsune Miku are on my watchlist (pre-order of Miku is already closed at HobbySearch, but Play-Asia still has some, albeit slightly more expensive).

And ohbytheway, Nendoroid.org is a great site with all the GSC Nendoroid released so far. I’m still waiting for the day when a Gurren Lagann Nendoroid set comes out.

Secondly, some funny developments fansub dorama (so what’s new?) over at Chihiro subs. The article itself is short and can be summed up in one line “someone deleted out tracker stuff and we lost all our subs… halp plz!”. Now, I don’t watch their stuff:

Chihiro’s current/active projects

1. Penguin Musume <- kinda interhingested, but probably won’t watch.
2. To Love RU <- lol no.
3. Sekirei <- no
4. Ikkitousen <- no
5. World Destruction <-no
6. School Rumble San Gakki <- watching Wannabe’s version

but its kind of hard to imagine that between all their staff, they don’t have a copy of their own work. The only explanation I can think of is: “not even chihiro would archive chihiro’s releases.”

Anyways, there are many nuggets of gold amongst all the flames and blind faith, out there like this one:
“@koda: if u think ur better than Chihiro, try to sub faster than them”
So now speed => better?

and then you get stuff from the freaks of the interweb:

Hi, I am Lucy from Elfen Lied. I know why everybody, the leader of GG, Jaka, the sicko that impersonated Kristen , and people from deculture and other fansub groups, and a whole entire moron convention, are ganging up on Chihiro. It’s because, like I said in the end of episode 8 of Elfin Lied, “when you’re miserable, you need something that’s even more miserable than yourself.” And since you can’t find anything more miserable, you decide to make some one else miserable. It’s why and how bullying exists. When people are miserable, they seek to make someone else more miserable to make themselves feel better and superior. I was bullied when I was young, so I know. Those faggots killed my dog. T.T

and oh, btw, I think I might start by ripping off a couple limps… =)

I literally facepalmed.

Moving on then.  Thanks to Hemi, I’ve discovered the greatness of xkcd.

One of my favourite comics
Hey I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this somewhere (4-chan maybe?)

And last, but not least a LOL JAPAN video (someone’s got alot of talent and even more free time)

I really didn’t think I’d be watching Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu…. but there I was, on a sunny Saturday afternoon, I went and downloaded it anyways. After watching the first episode, I felt … well to be honest, bored. Three episodes later … I just can’t get enough of this show..

there’s imouto-san

meido with shades

and of course, the closet otaku Haruka

Nogizaka Haruka no Shana .. she even does the uruchai! uruchai! uruchai!

conclusion? Haruka moe is over 300000000000000000000! (and I would SO make that my desktop)

oh I liked the “photoshop” element of the OP too.. the rest of it is kinda “meh” though..
