• Now the 360’s Fridge is Full

    (Has it really been five months since the last blog post? Holy crap. Time flies when you’re having fun.) One of the reasons I wanted to pick up an Xbox 360 was, believe it or not, how great of a service Xbox Live seemed to be. In addition to the integrated friends list and all…

  • So Hey, We Made An AMV This Year

    Those of you who have followed Daizenshuu EX for an extended period of time may be familiar with the sudden drop in productivity sometime around April through June each year. It is during this time that the wife and I turn our attention to working on an Anime Music Video for Otakon’s contest. We have…

  • The Sculpted Monkey King

    The Sculpted Monkey King

    This past weekend we finally browsed around Grounds For Sculpture, an art… I guess you would call it “location”?… here in New Jersey. Their main showcase at the moment seems to be a collection from Keith Haring, whose work you would probably recognize if you saw it. While that was neat and all (along with…

  • Daizenshuu EX Plagiarism Redux

    (I initially wrote much of this article back in March 2010, but held off on publishing it due to never receiving permission to re-publish an e-mail. I have decided to just go ahead with it. It helps set things in context, and is a great lead-in to some extra commentary based on some recent forum…

  • The Joke Lives On: VegettoEX is Appule

    Many of you predicted it. With the release of Episode 17 of DBZ Abridged, the cat is completely out of the bag: I voiced Appule. I don’t even remember when it was that KaiserNeko and I first started talking about it — it was that long ago. It was something I was looking forward to…

  • Internet Persona (And Personal) Growth

    I recently archived some of my earliest online endeavors. Some of them are filed away under lock so none of you will ever have a chance to see them. Some, like what I am about to share, are too cute to hold back. It is occasionally a good thing to look back at where you…

  • Otakon 2010’s Yūji Mitsuya Panel of Awesomeness

    Otakon 2010’s Yūji Mitsuya Panel of Awesomeness

    There are plenty of stories to share about this year’s Otakon, and rest assured that many more will make their way to either this blog or our podcast over on Daizenshuu EX. One story in particular is a combination of news and hilarity (and has pictures to go along with it!) so you can imagine…

  • No Registration Needed! Need To Be Registered!

    I saw this posted up at the library today and chuckled quite a bit: What I’m pretty sure they are saying is that there is no extra registration necessary for their little Guitar Hero competition, but anyone who wants to complete must already be a pre-existing, registered member of their “Summer Reading” program. What are…

  • Say It This Way ‘Cuz I Said So

    I won’t lie. I sometimes lurk around other forums. There are only a couple I regularly keep up with (my own, the FUNimation DB forum section)… but there are a couple others I have bookmarked that I check in on every couple of weeks. I feel somewhat of a responsibility to keep up with what…

  • Prized Possessions: Nakao’s Autograph

    We somehow lost our digital camera’s battery charger a while back. Since we buckled down and purchased a replacement one, I have been looking around for random things to take photos of. It is one of those cases where you do not know what you have until you have lost it… then you get it…

Got any book recommendations?
