M Update - Extreme X-Mas Lights




Ok so I've been browsing Google Video alot and this is one of the most impressive finds yet! Basicly this guy wired all of his Christmas lights up to his computer and set them to go off with music. Just click the above image to go!


ANIME

Just a reminder, Bleach will replace Mahoraba on December 8 (Mahoraba is ending!).


Genres: Adventure, Comedy, Drama, Shounen, Supernatural

Plot Summary:
Ichigo Kurosaki is a 15-year old boy with an angry face. He also has the ability to see ghosts. This brings him trouble when one day, he meets a Death God named Rukia Kuchiki, one who destroys Hollows, destructive beings created from dead people who are left on Earth. In an incident with a Hollow, Rukia transfers her energy to Ichigo, to create him into a Death God. As mysterious new characters arise, Ichigo must learn that the Hollows aren't his only enemy, and to destroy them, he must learn the way of a Death God.
Kurosaki Ichigo is not a regular 15 year old, because he has always had the ability to see spirits and ghosts. One day, a female Shinigami (God of Death) named Kuchiki Rukia appears before him, hunting for an evil spirit. But during the confrontation, the Shinigami's powers are transfered to Ichigo. Thus begins the adventures of Ichigo and Rukia and their mission to herd Hollows (fallen spirits) as well as confronting other spiritual beings.

Quick Update

Just wanted to announce that Bleach will be shown using the old codecs. So those that can't update to the new Quicktime will be able to watch Bleach! For tech people, I am increasing the birate to 450kbps for video to improve quality. All anime up to now has been shown using 375kbps or less.

TH Update - iPod nano and Full Moon MP3'S

YES!! The freeipodnanos.com site works!!! Above you can see my shiny new white (4GB) iPod nano. It has a really nice, sharp and bright color display, but my camera could not capture it. Check out the other photos, that serve as "proof" that these sites are legit. This is my third iPod I have gotten for free. The first was a 20GB normal iPod, the second was a iPod Shuffle and now this iPod nano!! Check out the photos!

Yes yes, we will get to the annoucement of the new anime series Suzuka, but first you have to watch this Pocky TV commercial! It'll have you going "Anata ta watashi Pocky" afterwards!! Click above image to play! By the way, the phrase means "You, me and Pocky". I think.

ANIME

TWO new series! Hope you all enjoyed Full Moon. If you missed the last episode, you can download it here. Well, without further ado, I present you the first: Suzuka!




"Yamato Akitsuki travels to Tokyo alone to study in one of the high schools located within the area. He lives in with his aunt who operates a public bath solely for the ladies in the local district and begins his normal high-school life. One day, he chances upon a girl in school and is immediately mesmerised by her beauty. He is shocked when he realise later that the girl, Suzuka, is actually living next door to him. From then on, Yamato's ordinary life begins to change little by little."

Next up is an OVA. OVA means Original Video Animation. It is only three episodes, but each episode is around 45 minutes. It is called Cutie Honey.




And of course we have the other anime series:

M Update - Lizards and Girls!


Ok now this video is funny. Its probably a very good example of what Japanese TV we are all missing out. In this clip, a musical group known as Morning Musume (They were once the "Pocky Girls") are pitted against the lizard. Each of them is wearing a block of meat on their head and they let the lizzard go.... XD

The usual stuff.

M Update - Return of the Links

Hehe. Berkeley hosted AnimeDestiny on Saturday. Which is like a small anime convention. About 400 peeps or so. I made this image and then was gonna slap it on the back of my shirt. Butttttt my tape wouldn't hold it. =( So I took one of my GIANT pocky sticks, (Glico sent me 4 of them, they are like those yellow BAM BAM sticks used at baseketball games) and went with that. I actually ran into a guy I knew from a web chat. XD If you're in the SF area let me know!
