Posted on June 17, 2008 by baudattitude

Spin-offs, bad and good.

OK, so back in the dark days when domestic laserdiscs had completely died and DVD hadn’t quite taken off yet, my wife and I used to buy an awful lot of import laserdiscs. Oh, and by the way? Buying import … Continue reading →

Weekends, well spent:

Speaking of pandering…

Boxes are neat.

Posted on November 10, 2007 by baudattitude

The Power of the Cute Compells You…

Posted on November 8, 2007 by baudattitude

First things first:  My wife hates all things Haruhi with the passion of a thousand blazing suns. OK, to give her credit, she did watch the first three episodes with me.  She made a good-faith effort, but her tastes lean … Continue reading →

“Remember when?”… Pioneer nostalgia.

Posted on November 4, 2007 by baudattitude

So, I found out last month that Geneon – formerly Pioneer – is getting out of the US anime market. I’m guessing that other companies will probably be licensing Geneon titles, and that their demise probably won’t affect my being … Continue reading →
