There was a tonne of exciting news this weekend, Mahoromatic Tadaima Okaeri, Hidamari Sketch x ☆☆☆ and Black☆rock Shooter.

Having watched previous seasons of Mahoro and Hidamari, I knew what they were going to be about. Black☆rock Shooter? Not so much. Actually, I don’t particularly enjoy Vocaloid stuff so I never paid much attention to the BRS song. After hearing about its anime announcement I found the character design intriguing and the song was actually starting to grow on me.

So I decided to take a look at what Blackrock Shooter actually was.

BRS was originally an illustration by Huke. Vocaloid user Supercell/ryo then followed up with a vocaloid song. It was such a hit that GoodSmile Company even made a PVC figure of.. I DON’T EVEN KNOW HER NAME. Does she even have a name yet? Anyways, the anime looks visually stunning, check out the sreencaps courtesy of Danny Choo.

Is anyone worried that this anime is just based on a drawing/video and nothing more? or are you all just as excited as I am?

Ohhhhhhhh all the coke in the world can’t contain my RAEG.

As reported by Bloomberg, the size of coke cans will be cut from 355mL cans to 330mL cans in order to reduce costs of production. Price of coke will still remain the same, however. In doing this, Coca-Cola is effectively passed the cost of increasing fuel and raw materials prices onto us the consumers and me, the vending machine.

Now hopefully, Coca-Cola has considered other things before this reduction. Like, is the current 355mL can at the optimal aluminum/coke ratio? Of not, would reshaping the can help reduce costs? I mean if they considered thing such as this (we all know just because a corporation is large, it does not necessarily mean they make the best decisions), then fine. I’ll go along with their ploy.

And because I’m such a freak, I got into a “discussion” about weather or not the new can has a higher aluminum surface area/volume of coke raito compared to the 355mL can.
