Yes this is the name of the pitch I sent to Oni Press during their submissions process (also Astra Etherium which was turned down though I think it fits their line of books also). I haven’t given many details to those outside of the few who read my scribbles from when it was going to… Continue reading Dodge Battle High

Oni Press Still Hasn’t Rejected My 2nd Pitch…Yet
Well I’ve been sitting and waiting for a rejection letter but nothing yet. I’m on day 62. They extended the response time from 30 days to 60 but I know one person said it took 72 days. I’m debating what to do with Dodge Battle High because I made a few changes to what I… Continue reading Oni Press Still Hasn’t Rejected My 2nd Pitch…Yet
FLCL (Fooly Cooly)
When I was doing my writeup on Photon, I checked my other writeups and didn’t realize I never did one for FLCL. I can think of several good reasons why I probably didn’t but we’ll get to that later. FLCL is a 6 part OVA based around a kid in 6th grade who is the… Continue reading FLCL (Fooly Cooly)
Picked up a Ford Expedition
Yeah so I picked up one of these. Was a good deal so couldn’t pass it up. Unfortunately I cracked a torsion bar somehow and just waiting for a new part to get here. Already replacing suspension parts and whatnot because I don’t want it to ride like some fancy ass rich guy car. I… Continue reading Picked up a Ford Expedition
The Rolling Girls (Rōringu Gāruzu)
When I first heard about the show it was just blurbs and loglines and whoever did that marketing did a good job. They had me wanting to watch. After watching it…well read the rest of this post. The premise of the story is that there was a “Great Tokyo War” which rocked Japan 10 years… Continue reading The Rolling Girls (Rōringu Gāruzu)
Seraph of the End (Owari no Serafu)
Seraph of the End is a show from the past spring season which actually brought us some very good shows. This was indeed one of them even though it took a while to build up to the action. Seraph really does start off slow. At first it looked like it was going to be sparkling… Continue reading Seraph of the End (Owari no Serafu)
Yuru Yuri
What can I say to describe Yuru Yuri. Cute girls doing cute things with lots of yuri undertones? Sounds about right. It’s probably a little Lucky Star mixed with Sakura Trick. Yuru Yuri is about a group of middle school girls who have deep childhood bonds and they form an after school club. The club… Continue reading Yuru Yuri
Labyrinth of Flames (Honoo no Labyrinth)
When I saw this the first time, I thought it was the worst show ever. I watched it again more recently and… well… at least it’s not Kite but it’s still not very good. The story is centered on a geeky Russian kid who wants to be a real samurai. By watching his actions you… Continue reading Labyrinth of Flames (Honoo no Labyrinth)
Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki (Tenchi Muyō! Ryōōki)
This is where it all started for the Tenchi series. Ryo-Ohki gives you the background for a lot of the future Tenchi series references. There are even other shows that take cues from Tenchi and vice versa. When it comes to harem shows in space, the Tenchi series is near the top. Ryo-Ohki starts with… Continue reading Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki (Tenchi Muyō! Ryōōki)
Photon: The Idiot Adventures
Photon is kind of like an off shoot of the Tenchi series. If you read up on Tenchi, you will find links to Photon on almost every page, as a show that’s similar. It has the same creator and also a lot of the terms and/or names are used some way in the Tenchi series.… Continue reading Photon: The Idiot Adventures
