Uploading that is! Bwahahahaa. Anyway, there’s only one more week of school before finals, and then I will have all Christmas break to shower you with love and updates. Until then, I will continue this social experiment to find out exactly how much anime you can upload before Dreamhost gets pissed off (Luckily, in this event, I have everything mirrored to another location.).

Anyway, I have uploaded quite a few gigs in the last day:

Dragonaut: The Resonance 1-9
Ikkitousen: Dragon Destiny 1-12
Kimikiss: Pure Rouge 1-8
Minami-ke 1-6
Rental Magica 1-8
Shigurui 1-6

Coming Soon: Akagi, Baccano, Kasimasi (+ updates of all existing anime and hopefully more LOGH).

BTW: Feel free to point out any broken links as well as feedback/reminding me about new episodes. Also requests by those who post on the forums will be given priority (sticking to mostly unlicensed anime for general public).

I know for sure that nobody comes to this website, as the Legend of the Galactic Heroes links have been broken all this time and nobody said anything :(. Anyway, I’m still too busy to do any major updates, but who says I can’t use my internet connection?

I have uploaded:

Bamboo Blade 6-7
Kaiji 7-8
Legend of the Galactic Heroes 11-20

I promise to at least do the Bamboo Blade/Kaiji post updates in the next week, as well as Moyashimon if BSS ever releases it. I’ll also upload more Legend of the Galactic Heroes!

I’ve been busy recently with Thanksgiving break, and since I’m nearing the end of the semester at college, I have not a lot of time due to projects and exams. So, I decided to make up for a lack of updates with just another batch of uploads. I will still continue to post for each episode, but until then you can just download them and view for yourself.

I’ve added:

Charge!! Otokojuku! 1-6
Legend of Galactic Heroes Movie 1
Legend of Galactic Heroes Gaiden 1-3 (OVA)
Legend of Galactic Heroes 1-10 (out of 110 once I upload them)

If you notice the above anime are not new, but more retro/classic, that being retro manliness explosion and classic space opera. I will also at least get up the new Bamboo Blade, Kaiji, and Moyashimon in the next coming week. Also, if you haven’t read the Anime Download page, I will upload Akagi, which is an anime by the creators of Kaiji, so if you like Kaiji you will notice the similarities and possibly like Akagi as well. I’ll also start a few other series that are currently running, including Dragonaut, Kimikiss, and possibly Gundam 00.

Octa Album Art

The title of Electric Six’s new album wields one of the most impressive names I’ve ever come across. I Shall Exterminate Everything Around Me That Restricts Me From Being The Master(or ISEEAMTRMFBTM as I shall fondly refer to it), is a fantastic ride on an intense electro-rock train. The genre its listed as rock but after tasting the first three songs of the album its easy to tell that to call call this a rock album is clearly a restricting mislabel. In the tunes they play the Electric Six exhibit elements of techno, electric, garage, and punk. The ISEEAMTRMFBTM album contains a listing of sixteen tracks all of which have names that closely rival the curiosity of the album name. Highlights and my favorite tracks are listed below in bold text.

1. “It’s Showtime!” 1:53
2. “Down at McDonnellzzzzz” 4:01
3. “Dance Pattern” 3:41
4. “Rip It!” 3:37
5. “Feed My Fuckin’ Habit” 2:11
6. “Riding On The White Train” 2:48
7. “Broken Machine” 3:16
8. “When I Get To The Green Building” 3:54
9. “Randy’s Hot Tonight” 3:04
10. “Kukuxumushu” 3:51
11. “I Don’t Like You” 2:53
12. “Lucifer Airlines” 2:49
13. “Lenny Kravitz” 3:06
14. “Fabulous People” 2:27
15. “Sexy Trash” 2:08
16. “Dirty Looks” 4:46

While on the topic of numbers and listings, it’s important to note that the duration of the CD is uncommonly impressive in these days with albums that barely push 35 minutes. ISEEAMTRMFBTM clocks in at 50:33 minutes.

After 50+ minutes of listening to this album for quite some time I believe one of the best ways to approach reviewing this album is to point out its shortcomings. To start off my largest gripe about this album is the lacking of musical diversity within each track. In any given song the repetition of certain chorus lines and musical ideas tends to grow annoying as time and repetition go on. So while there are large difference in the music between tracks once you listen to a perticular song for any prolonged duration of time the lack of change tends to become slightly irritating. Great examples of the problematic lack in track dynamics can be found by listening to the songs”Dance Pattern” and “Broken Machine”.

Speaking of problems, the only other one that I have with ISEEAMTRMFBTM is the brevity of its various musical ideas. Wha?! Sure I’m being picky, but there are quite a few good musical ideas in the album that could/should have been more throughly explored. As they stand now, some of the songs have a rather half-baked feel to them. If these musical ideas would have been elaborated on, in my opinion, the album would have had a more complete and full sound overall. Some of the tracks I believe could have been, (and would liked to have seen), explored farther are “Fabulous People” and “It’s Showtime”.

Enough with the cons now onto the reasons why I and perhaps you will love this album. ITS HIGH ENERGY! and unique sound is not only fun to move to but exciting to listen to as well. Using instruments such as the vox, saxophone, synthesizer, clarinet, and piano, on top of the traditional guitars, bass, and drums the Electric Six’s creation has a very unique and attractive sound that’s sure to be a hit with any individual that enjoys rock, electric, or even disco style music.

BEETLEJOOOSE

Sawaki wonders why they are out searching through dirt and weeds. It turns out, the Professor is collecting worms, who are the natural tillers of the earth, for some experiments.

It wouldn’t be Tales of Agriculture without some fisting.

It’s Agriculture week, so the Seniors are putting on some activities for Sawaki and the other new students. This includes Sawaki unintentionally volunteering himself for the cow anus fisting. Moyashimon wouldn’t be the same without it or some other sick act.

What seems cute on the surface turns out to be something a little… sinister.

The Seniors also worked long and hard to prepare a fine meal for the new students. However, the salad dressing appeared to have something else along for the ride. What seems cute also happens to be what causes food poisoning. So Sawaki, upon seeing them, risks revealing his ability by preventing anyone from eating the food.

The Professor uses his amazing strength to save the day.

The Professor comes into save the day by confirming it with a microscope. Despite his attempt at covering up Sawaki’s ability by saying he told Sawaki to say it, could it be out?

So sure Crocs look like foot cheese (Swiss Emmental Foot Cheese that is), but in all seriousness as you can see from the below comparison to the left the Crocs Cayman cannot compare to the shear grotesqueness of the foot shoes on the right. The Converse Foot Shoes are malodorous, hideous, and very uncomfortable. In comparison the Caymans are only hideous, which would mean that the Crocs are, by two accounts better than the Foot Shoes. So it would seem that there exists a shoe worse then the Caymans, but how much worse are they? To find out, our investigation probed the opinions/reactions of three anonymous individuals who will from now until the end of the pseudo scientific experiment be identified as Indiv1, Indiv2, and Indiv3. So now onto the meat!

Crocs Black Cayman

Neither shoe is very visually appealing. This is what Indiv1 indicated to us after we investigated how inviting the unique appearance of each instance of shoe was. This mild mannered individual whose previous past times included viewing movies, art, and nature landscapes was changed after participating in our test (but as in all social dilemmas the sacrifice of one for the group is always viewed as the right path to take). Our tests was set up with Indiv1 being exposed to both shoes at once and picking from the two which shoe was less of an eyesore. Sadly enough we discovered there was a problem with the test though. The idea that the combined presence of the shoes might be too much of an eyesore for any single individual to absorb at once never occurred to the testing staff. Due to this oversight we send our deepest condolences and cheapest care package to Indiv1 whose sacrifice will never be forgotten by the footwear fashion community. Heres to Indiv1!

Indiv2 was and is a self-proclaimed coffee connoisseur and an individual with a particularly sensitive nose. The individual was blindfolded and exposed to the left (shoe) of each style. But, before his reaction to the footwear it might be helpful to understand the conditions of our experiment. Both shoes were obtained and maintained in a pristine state. Neither shoe was ever worn nor was either shoe exposed to an environment that the other had not. So to test the odor of one shoe against the other the individual who was blindfolded, was exposed to each shoe from a distance of one foot for approximately five minutes. The first shoe which was the Cayman conjured no reaction from our participant. Upon exposure to the second shoe this same individual began to involuntarily vomit and scratch at his face. After the ordeal this comment was made about the second shoe, “What in holy Helena’s hell did you place in that room! I felt my nostrils melt and my lungs gelling! The first five minutes were fine, but the second set of time darn near killed my children’s children!”. Needless to say we took this as a point for the Caymans.

The hideous Foot Shoes

After being exposed to both shoes in a double blind, triple false, pacing experiment Indiv3 made the following remarks about the Caymans (the second shoe worn): “At first it seemed as if I was walking on mutilated mammal flesh. The shoes were warm with no firm support and had this awkward habit of sticking to my socks. In comparison the shoes I have on now are similar to plodding through aged cool whip. After each step the form of the shoe returns to its original state and this is good because it offers a soft step but firm support. These shoes are definitely the real deal”. This testimony seems to support the statement that Caymans are better than Foot shoes when it comes to comfort. Upon the conclusion of this test we had collected enough information that yes indeed our hypothesis was confirmed and the Caymans have one upped the Foot Shoes and proven not to be the worst shoe of them all.

Now you might say my argument is asinine maybe absurd and I am aware that individuals are entitled to their respective opinions about fashion, but in all seriousness can anyone refute the statement that the Foot Shoes are overall less appealing than the Crocs Caymans? If you think you can I implore you to hit up the comment box box box. Oh and as a side note this is a totally fictional idea.

Sayako, the habitual line-stepper.

I’ll admit that Bamboo Blade took a few episodes to get going. At first, I wasn’t sure if it was going to very good. Of course, a show about Kendo had the potential to be interesting. Additionally, mediocre reviews of the manga and a slow moving start made me wary. However, with the addition of newer characters, such as Sayako, and as we learn more about the personalities of the existing characters, Miya for example, the show becomes much more interesting. And of course, there is Tamaki’s great sense of justice brought on by the most amazing show ever, Blade Braver. As such, I think that this is this is the best episode yet.

The episode starts with Sayako wanting to spar with Tamaki, which turns out to be a great blow to her confidence, as well as her head See above figure. As it turns out, the club is going to be having a practice match with Kenzo’s team today, so they are all waiting in anticipation.

Kojiro, their sensei, encourages Miya-Miya to do her best, even though she lacks the formal training necessary to win. That doesn’t seem to bother her, however, as long as she can inflict some pain. I much prefer the real Miya-Miya to her dainty false exterior, hopefully someone opens up this can of worms soon, since apparently Kojiro is already aware of it.

YOU SHALL NOT PASS

Sayako seems to be suffering most of the emotional abuse, as Kojiro’s explosive encouragement for her not to lose in the practice match adds to her previous loss by the hands of justice.

Everyone is pumped and ready for battle.

Kenzo has a bit of trouble getting his five girls together, encountering problems such as nausia, panic attacks, unconsciousness, and perhaps the diabeetis. This must be very beneficial for our friends, as they happen to be lacking one of the five girls necessary for competition. Who will be the fifth?

Anyway, here is episode five:

I capture the most inert moments.

Things are really getting tense as the remaining time drops to less than twenty minutes. As we know, Kaiji and the two fairies he is with each have two stars. They also have like thirty rocks and five scissors. However, Kaiji has an idea. After taking three of his groups stars, Kaiji convinces Kitami to relinquish his 34 papers as well. Now, it’s up to Kaiji to just wait for the opportune moment to strike.

Opportunity strikes. Will Kaiji abandon his newfound friends for a chance at survival?

However, problem strikes. All of the remaining players are refusing to play, as suffering from prior scamming had made them mistrustful. Funai, who early on had scammed Kaiji out of two of his stars, comes up with a plan to get the remaining players to agree to play. Everyone would reshuffle their cards and they would be redistributed. Alas, this could mean the destruction of Kaiji and his group, who had bought out all of the rocks and paper. What will he do?

Notes: If you notice I decided to start shrinking my screenshots, so they won’t take up so much of the screen. Also, people with smaller (bah) resolutions won’t have issues with the layout.

I would just like to let everyone know that I have preemptively uploaded two new anime: Bartender and Mononoke.

And since I’m to lazy to type up synopsis and take screenshots for each episode at this moment, I have just included the links for all of the episodes at the Downloads page. Eventually, I may add the posts for each when I decide to watch them all myself.

Anyway, that brings us up to five whole big animes on the website. I will also be uploading the entire seasons of Akagi (by the makers of Kaiji), and then Legend of the Galactic Heroes (a shwing classic space opera), if Dreamhost doesn’t cause my site to implode on itself by then.

Additionally, be sure to attempt to post on the forums, as I may be more inclined to add content when we actually get visitors. Also, if you want to be a writer for this site, we pay in lolcat images.

Bookmooch is a website in which a person can trade away their old books that they no longer read for books that they do wish to read. Here’s how it works. Adding books to your inventory gets you a tenth of a point per book added. With a full point you can request another book from a separate user. When a user requests one of your books, you get a point from them. You only have to pay shipping on books you send out. So essentially, you are getting a book you want to read for the cost of an old book + shipping, which, if you don’t collect your books and just read them, works out very nicely. You add books to your wishlist and you recieve an e-mail when one of those books are available for mooching.

I thought that I would tell others about this site, as it has proven quite useful for me. I have used it to trade away a lot of my old books and manga that I don’t want for books I do want. Personally I’ve given away 45 books, and received almost 60. While I believe Bookmooch is the best of it’s kind, there are other sites similar to it that offer more than just books:

PaperBack Swap
Similar to Bookmooch, this site also provides DVD and CD swapping sites, though they cost a small fee. Apparently they have a larger userbase than Bookmooch, however I found Bookmooch somewhat simpler to use and more user-friendly. The one advantage to PaperBack Swap that I did see was the ability to buy points for books, in the event you didn’t want to trade away books of your own.

Movie Moocher
Designed for College Campuses specifically, this site is for lending DVDs to other students on campus, rather than trade them away. Rather than using Blockbuster, you just lend someone a DVD and they are to return it when they have watched it. This site, however, is very new, and could use some work on the usability. Perhaps in the future it will improve, and get a larger userbase.
