Want to know more about what Yamazaki's (from NHK ni Yōkoso!) favourite anime is watch. We know that it is Pururin, but nothing else, well it has it's own official website. Unless you can read japanese, it's probably more productive to use a translation website such as google translation, babelfish or even better, the rikaichan firefox extension or rikai.com website.
While searching various websites for more information I also stumbled upon this.
Guy from Israel makes himself out to be a real hikkimori. It's quite amusing, though a little bland, with him just showing his room. Highlights are the Pururin theme song playing in the background (which is available on the NHK ni Yōkoso! OST).

Originally I started this blog while I was unemployed, and with all the job searching and feeling low, I never felt like adding to here often.
Now I have a job, hurrah, but now it seems I have little time to watch anime and blog anymore.

Gunbuster/Diebuster Films and Concept Cars in GitS:SS
I found out these pieces of news quite a while ago, unfortunately I kind of forgot about this blog and so I am placing them on here a bit late.
The first is that, with the ending of the Diebuster OVA being shown in Japan in less than a month (the 25th of August I believe), it has been anounced that a film version of both the Gunbuster and Diebuster OVA are being made to be shown in cinemas. Although extremely doubtful that it will make large screens here, I would imensly like to see the giant gunbuster on one. I assume that they will just be a 2hr cut from the OVA's, which personally I don't think will work as the OVA itself is already pretty short (6 eps), and will probably be more of a recap.
Blog with additional information
Also, here's a link to the American Gunbuster site, which is still in production.
2nd piece of news,
The new TV movie of GitS:SS (Ghost in the Shell: Solid State) is well into production, and it has been anounced that two concept cars will feature. Both Nissan's, they seem to fit well in the futuristic world.
As I have got all my information from a single source, and I believe that you should honour sources by linking to them, rather than stealing their news and pictures. Here's a link to the page.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Although I am still attempting to personalise the blog away from the template, its not a priority. Also, it seems that every change I make makes the blog worse to view. Perhaps its just me being a perfectionist, or I am colour blind when picking colours, or both.

My Sony e3 Animefied Conference
After seeing the anime 'Samurai Girl Real Bout High School' (the title alone screams win) an episode reminded me of the crabs bit from the Sony e3 press conference. I couldn't help myself. I had to make this.
I am not an expert at flash, so although it was quite easy to get the sound and the video together. The hard parts were fixing it all together, and putting my name on it.
After realizing that the files were probably too big to put on my other sites, I decided to load it on Youtube. After several failed attempts and several hours later, I finally did it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have played around a little bit with the code and can change a bit of the layout. The problem is that after I am finished it always looks like some retarded colour blind kid has played around with it.I have also looked at several other blogs. At the very least I would like to change the top banner/logo thing to something a bit more personal.
I havn't posted anything in a while, I have plenty of ideas but with exams I havn't really got round to it.

Podcasts
I listen to quite a few podcasts during the day, which are quite nice to listen to as an alternative to music. Many of which are themselves associated to blogs. Unfortunately, it is unreasonable for me to link to every podcast I listen to, so I have picked a few which are on different things and put a few links on the right. I have also done a little run down below of them.
Fighting Talk - Sports Punditry from the BBC, I believe its in its 4th series and is extremely succesfull. It has to be my favourite and certainly, if you count from when I was listening on the radio, is the longest one I have been listening to.
Weekly Anime Review - The best review podcast for Anime, I listen to a few others but this guys views really do count and is aknowledged by alot of the other anime podcasts.
Ask a Ninja - Want a laugh, certainly the funniest podcast ever and its in video form. THe blog also contains videos from fans, including the sexy female ninja.
Josh in Japan - Life living in Japan from a western point of view. I must warn you, he does come off strongly as American but this is partly why its so entertaining, he will often just tell it how it is without hesitation. Unlike the others I have only listened to a few so far. But it is very infrmative.
TWiT - They actually do several podcasts that I am subscribed to. 'TWiT' is very much a run down of general news topics of the week, and I beleive you can check up on what they are going to talk about in advance. 'Security Now' is a bit more advance though is interesting and informative and adds to the knowledge of comptuing and programming I have. 'Inside the Net' is very much more applicable to internet life, I have only listened to a few but they already did shows on Firefox, Flock and YouTube.
Here is a pic of all of the podcasts I am subscribed to, obviously, there are some on there which I will only listen to if I feel like. I find that the iTunes software seems to work well though it does seem to have problems and keeps on crashing. I have tried some alternative like FireAnt and Juice but I just didn't like the interface as much.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am trying to get away from the template design a bit and so I am ideally looking to designing a banner for the top (any ideas or offers apreciated). I would also like to change the colour scheme a bit aswell. All will be done it time. Another probem I have encountered, though minor, is that the spellchecker just seems to flag up popular words such as 'blog' and 'podcast' and 'colour'. C'mon, I am sure that these words were just minor oversights.

Problems
Less than an hour and I am already having trouble. Seems I have to learn a code to adjust anything away from the templates. Also, I hve to keep on clearing my cache to see any new changes I make :-(.
Anyway, I have some ideas as to what I can put up. I will try and even it out to one post a day rather then do everything at once and then run out.

Mission Statement / Aims
This is me
<----
Main Aims
Report on the world and provide my own unique perspective.
It will probably be a few rants, a few reviews and a few discrete comments. Possibly on anime, video games, news, and the world in general (real world is scary).
If I do comment on anime, I will not be ruining thing with
* endless screen dumps
* the entire plot of an episode, but written out in words
My theory being that if you are capable of reading then you are capable of watching anime and making your own opinions.
Of course, any opinion other than mine is wrong.
Also, I intend not to use any of those swear words thingymebobs. The way I see it is the English language is full of useful words. There must be a certain combination that is able to get over my feeling in a less offensive way.
As this is my first experience at any blogging it may seem a bit amateurish. I haven't really read many alternate blogs and am not used to the software used to produce them. That is why I use blogger, its cheap and easy. Maybe in the future I will invest money.
