Oh crap….

There i was, infront of my pc, mucking around doing pretty much nothing. I recently change my wallpaper to Primula from shuffle!. Then suddenly me mum walk in my room and look at the screen. She said ‘Oh, cute picture. Where is it from’. Would have been pure and simple if i just said ‘its from a cartoon, mum’. But i was tired from cleaning up the mess which is my room and i couldn’t think clearly. A bajillion answer raced through my head. ‘Its from an eroge mum’. ‘She’s 16 so its perfecly legal mum’ and so forth. As the battle rage in my head for the most appropiate answer, came this reply from my mouth:

‘Urgh,erm……aaahhh’ with a totally bewildered look on my face.

Yes folk, thats what i said.Brilliant wasn’t it. Then she gave me THAT kind of smile aka the smile that she show when she knows that did something bad. Man that was embarassing. Morale of the story here, for me anyway, be prepare ALWAYS.

To Animax or not

It’s been a month plus since Astro (the sat tv station) begin airing the Animax channel. It primarily shows licensed stuff. Hence most stuff is English dub, though most (or all) show have the option to switch back to japanese language. Most of the title are a mix of recent one (law of Ueki etc) to oldies (Dragonball BZ). For me personally, i’m quite happy that astro decided that they want to air such channel here.

My only gripe with animax is that most of the show don’t have any sort of subtitle whatsoever. I know some people (me included) hate to watch anime that has been dubbed in english. Its kinda frustating that when you switch the language, there is no subtitle. I mean, it would be rather nice if they include the subtitle as some cant stand english dub. Aside from that, i’m content with Animax channel. And i manage to catch up on some anime title that i havent manage to finish aka. R.O.D the tv etc.. Well, win some, lose some i guess.

Japan’s New Prime Minister Not Otaku–damn :(

Oh well, looks like Aso Rozen didn’t make the grade. Too bad. Well, at least he is still in the cabinet. Which country can boast that their foreign minister is an otaku? priceless

Fly me to the moon..evangelion way

Fly me to the moon. Truth be told, before i watch evangelion, i never, ever heard of the song. First time ive heard it, i was thingking, that not such a bad ED song after all. When i had my first evngelion ost cd, i re-recorded it and play it out loud on my old stereo. Me old man pops in suddenly into my room and upon hearing that song, he was like dumbfounded. He never heard that version before. I mention that it was from an cartoon i watching (anime is too foreign a word for me to use). He left my room with a strangest smirk on his face and said ‘good on you son’. Uhm, right dad.

After all this time, i never grown tired of listening to this song. And considering there is like almost 10 (or more) version in the various evangelion ost, it like a bonanza of variety. Well, as usual i have it on my friendster page. Hope you will like it as much as i do. Enjoy
