Posted on May 2, 2009 by baudattitude

I’ve been putting off writing this for a while, because it involved a product that seemed to be out of production.  I’m not sure if that was ever true, but I was having a heck of a time finding them … Continue reading →

What the hell is “mofumofu”?

Posted on April 27, 2009 by baudattitude

So, I was letting Google Image Search find me a new wallpaper – and, by the way, if you’re an anime fan, I strongly recommend typing “壁紙” into GIS and letting it fly, insasmuch as it’s Japanese for “wallpaper”  – … Continue reading →

That’s ONE way to go DRM-free

Posted on April 7, 2009 by baudattitude

So, straight up here:  I have no gripes with Apple over their variable pricing scheme.  Granted, it seems like most everything you’d WANT to download is now $1.29 per song, but it’s not like the 30 cents is going to … Continue reading →

I has a new hero

Posted on March 13, 2009 by baudattitude

I’ve been catching up on my Gainax of late. I finished Mahoromatic a couple of weeks ago and liked it; the last episode was a series of “HUH?” moments but the actual conclusion was quite satisfying. Thing is, though, I … Continue reading →

Boys Choir, here I come.

Posted on January 28, 2009 by baudattitude

Wow, that’s possibly the creepiest article title I’ve come up with yet.  I will explain. Well, first, some backstory. Some of the earliest anime titles licensed for the American market were titles that had been produced by Studio Gainax.  They … Continue reading →

So, over the last few trips to Japan, with occasional orders from cdjapan and amazon.co.jp, I’ve picked up: Four MOSAIC.WAV albums, one single, four Kotoko albums, one single, and the Please Teacher! Music DVD, two Perfume albums, and a Perfume … Continue reading →

Stories, Brave:

Posted on December 27, 2008 by baudattitude

Back in summer of 2006, when I made my first solo trip to Japan, one of my goals for the trip was to see Ged Senki in a theater – because, damnit, I wanted to see a Studio Ghibli movie … Continue reading →

Posted on December 22, 2008 by baudattitude

Three Christmas-themed wallpapers for you today, the first starring Ritsuko from iDOL:M@STER, the second a nice widescreen wallpaper featuring Saki, Ohno and Ogiue from Genshiken, and the third, well, who doesn’t love Haruhi? I’d say these were enough to make … Continue reading →

Karaoke for MEN

Posted on December 19, 2008 by baudattitude
