First off, if you haven’t already subscribed to our YouTube channel… Please do so! Justin and Brian decided to test my nerd cred and it sorta worked. I think?
(image via: Anime Vice) It’s that time of the year again. Number 2 pencils sharpened. A thin film of Eraser dust covers the work space. A never ending, and ever changing itunes playlist carries through the background. Twitter and Instagram are more or less being left to the wayside. The same t-shirt starts to see…
FACT: More anime is good for you. Studies show that regular consumption of Japanese media over time decreases stress by 60%. This obviously isn’t a real statistic but it’s good to explore new shows. I honestly wish Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic was a role-playing game. The series reimagines Arabic legends featuring characters such as Ali…
This year was my first time attending Anime Expo at the Los Angeles Convention Center. I happened to attend as both a writer for Strawberry Scented Burnout, and as a writer/photographer for SoBiTV Magazine. Unfortunately, I was only able to attend Saturday, July 6, so I’m sure there were a lot of costumes and events that I…
San Diego Comic-Con International. The final frontier. This is a voyage of the hardcore geek group STRAWBERRY SCENTED BURNOUT. Its five-year mission (and counting), to seek out new geek endeavors, awesome figurines, cool comic art, dorky cosplay pictures, trippy fights, and to boldly go where no geek has gone before. Does that make me Captain Kirk?…
It’s been about 11 years or so since Gundam Seed first hit us with its “space drama giant robots destroying colonies” schtick, and Sunrise decided that we were lacking in that department, so they sent us Valvrave. They realized early on that teenagers go with giant robots, just like Evangelion (we all know how…
Have you ever noticed the best moments of your life are with other people? How rare is it that the best moments of our lives are when we are alone. Sure, we have epiphanies that we remember in our lives, but when it comes to moments of celebration or of laughter or of happiness…I’m pretty…
I’m a huge fan of K-On. So naturally, I started gravitating back to J-pop once I really started getting into the series. Along the way I heard about this group called SCANDAL. Apparently, they got together in high school and started jamming out. Then they started playing in clubs, and they…quite simply blew up. You…
Had a chance to check out Kineda’s SF Hyper Collection yet? It’s signature Kineda art, plus you’re favorite Street Fighter II characters. The only thing that can top that is if they made more tee’s with SF4 characters… *cough, cough CODY…ahem. I’m not big on graphic tee’s anymore, not since 05/06 or so but, Looking…
Since the first anime I will watch is Love Hina, I thought it would be fitting to post a little “food for thought” about love. A song popped up on my Songza today called “Trouble” by Ray LaMontaigne, which my stream of consciousness brought me to a commercial that I remember watching and always found…
