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…
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…
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…
Versus! We’re going to pit two things together and we’re going to decide who comes out on top! Let’s see who we’ve got in our corners. Fighting out of the red corner, from Tokyo, Japan in the year 2000, we have a Renai Revolution 21-era MORNING MUSUME! And in the blue corner, we have fighting…
In an earlier post, I talked about my favorite anime/manga, Initial D. I wasn’t able to talk so much about the music, so I figured that I might as well start here. Initial D’s intro songs were sung by a group called m.o.v.e., which consisted of.. yuri (Yuri Masuda (益田 祐里 Masuda Yuri?)) on vocals and motsu (Mototaka Segawa (瀬川 素公 Segawa Mototaka?))…
First off, a quick shoutout to the peeps at rhythmemotion, ‘cuz they’ve covered Bust a Groove already. However, I’m going to add my own sardonic wit to this entry, like I always do. Geeks…normally can’t dance. I’m no exception. I can do martial arts just fine. Throw me into a ring and I can shuffle…
So you’re AKB48, Japan’s biggest and possibly greatest pop group ever (though fans of Morning Musume would beg to differ). You’ve released a bunch of overly cheery J-pop songs that ooze saccharine. The songs are so sweet that they induce cavities within 10 seconds of listening. You hold theater performances every couple days. What’s next?…
I am BNMotive, but you may call me BN. In short, I am a Mexican college student currently working on my Illustration mayor. However, what truly matters is that I come here to share with you my experiences as an artist. Why? Well, I didn’t have much guidance as a kid, and so I want…
Yuno what it is.
I can’t explain why I love the Ar Tonelico series. On paper, it shouldn’t work. There’s nothing about the story, the battle system, or even the art that hasn’t been done already by a traditional Japanese RPG, or even a Visual Novel. When you look at the box art above for all three games, what…
