What Ubu Roi doesn't realize...

... in this post was that otakusphere was created by the artist formerly known as Fledgling Otaku1 as a way to keep updated on the latest posts of the blogs he follows

How I currently watch Anime

It's been a while, but I figure I should do a writeup on a few things about my anime viewing setup. Here's what it looks like:

A Manga about... Ubuntu?!?

So, I was going through my Linux RSS feeds when I stumble on this post of a translation of a "Ubuntu romantic school comedy"...

I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Maybe both. Printing it out now to read it...

A Bit of Ralph Bakshi

[img_assist|nid=2252|title=|desc=|link=none|align=center|width=424|height=640]

Well, my first taste of Ralph Bakshi wasn't too good, though it had its interesting moments. But in truth, this wasn't Bakshi's original script for this movie; supposedly, his producer took his original script that had a subtext of a warning about casual sex and got it rewritten into the mess of a plot in the movie today.

Some of the plusses about Cool World include the smooth animation quality and an interesting soundtrack. I'm not a big fan of rotoscoping in animation, but it's not like I really consider it cheating1 and Bakshi seems to make good use of it here. The one-off gags that go on constantly in the background in cool world also provide entertainment.

A Spur of the Moment

It feels good to give a gift to someone who I never met face-to-face, but only know each other through words.

In any case, Merry Christmas to all. Hope all of you have happy holidays, and at least a better next year than how mine will be starting.

The Collection

Some members on an anime forum I frequent had a topic up showing off their collection and how they watch it, so I figure I should post it here just for the hell of it:

Actually, the nearest shelf contains my housemate's anime DVDs. The further shelf houses my girfriend's and my DVDs. Two-thirds of it is mine; I have maybe about 10 boxes of non-anime. Here's a picture with only my anime DVDs in it:

Just so I have a post in November...

No, my new hobby hasn't taken up all of my time that I haven't watched anime. I'm still watching, just not having enough time dedicated to blogging it as much as I used to.

Hopefully, I can get an update out this weekend.
