Inside Looking Outside

Perspective can sometimes be a mindf*ck. When you learn to view things at different angles, you slowly but surely come to form well-rounded stances on things. Take for instance anime. Before joining the Strawberry Scented Burnout crew, the only thought I had about anime was that it was a cartoon. A cartoon filled with exaggerated…

The Awakening

Greetings! My name is Alissa and I consider myself a “freshman” in this anime/manga/comic world (I honestly don’t understand the differences yet, if there is any). I imagine I will be exposed to all sorts of “stuff” I never knew existed, and I expect to have many difficulties trying to assimilate into this new world….

Chrono Jigga

So if you’re a music head/gamer you probably stay up a night and wonder when someone will do a mash up of one of the GREATEST RPG’s of ALL TIME and Jay-Z…no? is that just me then? I don’t know what it is about Jay-Z songs that mash up so well with other instrumentals. Any…

Ami Mizuno

Sailor Moon fanart is one of my favorite types, though I can’t figure out why.

Twitchy’s Anime Rocking Chair – I can’t watch Dragon Ball Z in English.

Call me a purist, or a weeaboo, or whatever the hell you want, but I can’t watch DBZ in English.  I just can’t.  The voices don’t sit well with me.  The translations don’t go over well…and the Americans have a history of fuckin’ shit up when they don’t need to. Exhibit A: Gohan’s transformation into…

Initial D 5th Stage

Back in 2003, a group of people from animemusicvideos.org decided to get together to make an anime music video.  On April 4, 2004, the video was finally released.  Using a 1990’s dance megamix as their soundtrack, over 100 AMV editors banded together to make an anime music video that ran for one hour.   This…

Girlfriends and Football

                                                                                                 RG3 has some anime fans… Football season…

Initial D Arcade Stage AA X

These names are getting pretty weird.  Oh well, it’s Initial D, so I’m not gonna complain. From the looks of the trailer, the game includes EVERYTHING up to Ryosuke’s battle with the “Shinigami” of Hakone.  Hopefully Ryosuke’s FC will be a tuning course.  I want to build up an FC with that spoiler.  So, what…

S.S. Burnout: Tae Kwon Do

There comes a time for growth, there comes a time for change, and there comes a time to completely smack the world over the head with something no one saw coming. You guys have been the loyal faithful and the dedicated followers. It’s high time that WE (Team Mixed Nuts) return the love and provide…
