Stolen One Piece, what’s the point?

So I know this happened  a few weeks ago and I meant to write about it but RL got in the way.
I am still scratching the head about the news that someone hacked into Funimation and stole an ep of One Piece and posted it one day before it was set to be released. Apparently [...]

Ookiku Furikabutte/ Big Windup

I immediately had to run over and post this. I don’t know how long it’s been there but Hulu.com has 4 dubbed episodes of this amazing anime. This will have to tide me over until Funimation starts selling the DVDs.

The Power of T.M. Revolution, haha

Wow I looked at my blog stats this morning out of curiosity and found readership had increased by 1000% overnight. The power of T.M. Revolution!

This is all about Abe in junior high and his relationship to his pitcher then. As we see its a completely different person than Mihashi in terms [...]

Blushing and baseball

So, what do you think about “Ookiku Furikabutte” a.k.a.
おおきく振りかぶって ?
*silence*
Yeah, that’s what I thought. I actually tried to search online for some reviews of this anime but the pickings were slim. Is it because it is a sports anime? I admit that because of this I was somewhat resistant to starting up on it. As [...]

Black Blood Brothers

About a year ago I had the opportunity to see a few episodes of Black Blood Brothers (the center image in the header) at an anime convention. I enjoyed it so much that when I got back home I looked it up and caught a couple more eps. [...]
