Australia and New Zealand though get a whole bunch, and this is one of them, the white chocolate Freddo. Now long term readers will know I’m a fan of white chocolate, so I’m not put off at all. This 40g Freddo (that’s [...] Tue, 13 May 2008 14:00 GMT http://nakama-britannica.animeuknews.net/2008/05/12/great-artwork-clear-storytelling-an-involving-cast-of-characters%e2%80%a6/ http://nakama-britannica.animeuknews.net/2008/05/12/great-artwork-clear-storytelling-an-involving-cast-of-characters%e2%80%a6/ 2378 Great Artwork, Clear Storytelling, An Involving Cast of Characters… Del Rey Manga Round-Up Spring 2008 I really love the classy Del Rey manga format, especially their in-depth ‘Translator’s Notes’ and previews of the next volume, but sometimes, of late, I’ve felt that all their loving presentation has been wasted some less than distinguished series. The winning formula [...] Tue, 13 May 2008 00:00 GMT http://www.thechocolatereview.net/2008/05/12/nestle-after-eight-straws/ http://www.thechocolatereview.net/2008/05/12/nestle-after-eight-straws/ 2120 A rather odd After Eight product here, these have been around for a couple of years now, and I’ve never been tempted to buy them, I keep expecting them to disappear soon though, and so here we are. These come in a cylindrical tub, about 15cm tall. It’s fairly plain to look at, and I’m surprised [...] Mon, 12 May 2008 14:00 GMT http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/hvo/~3/288609814/ http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/hvo/~3/288609814/ 1093 Hige reviews episode three of Kaiba and, surprisingly, isn't too much of a pretentious fanny about it. Mon, 12 May 2008 12:00 GMT http://sandy-and-stuff.livejournal.com/19465.html http://sandy-and-stuff.livejournal.com/19465.html 1551 It's a little-known fact that I kept a blog when I was 16 for around a year. It can be quite embarrassing (though there are some moments of unintentional literary gold), so I don't show too many people. But I suppose I've embarrassed myself enough in this blog, so here it is.Why am I telling you this? I was browsing it today, and came across an old quiz I posted. Then I had the vaguely clever.. Mon, 12 May 2008 03:00 GMT http://sandy-and-stuff.livejournal.com/19426.html http://sandy-and-stuff.livejournal.com/19426.html 1551 My mum never buys the same type of toothpaste twice.Now,I understand that it's fair enough that she doesn't have a favourite, but she bought three tubes today - each a different type. Would it not be easier for her to just grab three of the same and think "That'll do"? No, apparently she needed to buy three different types. Why did she feel the need to? Does she love variety? Does she have some st.. Mon, 12 May 2008 02:00 GMT http://afterimage.animeuknews.net/2008/05/11/hear-the-truth-i-used-to-overlook/ http://afterimage.animeuknews.net/2008/05/11/hear-the-truth-i-used-to-overlook/ 2 Until I’ve caught up with some of the other spring anime, I’m stalling on watching more of Kaiba, but for the sake of curiosity, I can’t stop myself from streaming an occasional clip on YouTube too. This one excerpt from episode 3 is wonderful. You don’t need to understand the dialogue to feel what’s happening, [...] Sun, 11 May 2008 18:00 GMT http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/concretebadger/~3/288012846/ http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/concretebadger/~3/288012846/ 78 It seems that the lolicon dabacle is mercifully dead and buried so we can now all concentrate on what Kurenai is and does rather than what the misguided individuals think it is. It’s certainly an unusual series, both in terms of aesthetics and storytelling - this is to me a shining example of well-made seinen [...] Sun, 11 May 2008 13:00 GMT http://Chaz-Anime.deviantart.com/art/Cyline-Lust-of-another-kind-85285043 http://Chaz-Anime.deviantart.com/art/Cyline-Lust-of-another-kind-85285043 364 Sat, 10 May 2008 22:00 GMT http://bateszi.animeuknews.net/2008/05/10/when-the-sky-turned-blue/ http://bateszi.animeuknews.net/2008/05/10/when-the-sky-turned-blue/ 2 Gone a bit quiet around here, ain’t it? Last update was a couple of weeks ago, so I figured I’d pop-in a quick “Hello, not dead yet”. The truth is that, since finishing Ghost Hound, I’ve not been watching nearly enough (good) anime, so, aside from a few sarcastic paragraphs, I don’t have much to [...] Sat, 10 May 2008 20:00 GMT http://pravada.blogspot.com/2008/05/episode-50-shiros-guide-to-attracting.html http://pravada.blogspot.com/2008/05/episode-50-shiros-guide-to-attracting.html 500 Be a total bastard – women admire a total jerk who has no genuine feelings for her.Lie at every opportunity – women can’t tell when you are lying, use this as your advantage.Be a complete pussy – if you can’t stand up for what you believe in and wuss out at every opportunity, she’ll take pity on you, thus access you to her pussy.Be unfunny. Women hate funny guys, they love those monoto.. Sat, 10 May 2008 16:00 GMT http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/concretebadger/~3/287437305/ http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/concretebadger/~3/287437305/ 78 There are a number of things I could do as a reaction to burn-out (if that’s what I have) but I think recommending new additions to my own feedreader is the most constructive. My answer to everything at the moment is “I can’t be arsed.” Do that post on Kurenai I promised to write? Can’t [...] Sat, 10 May 2008 13:00 GMT http://afterimage.animeuknews.net/2008/05/10/late-to-the-party-golgo-13-himitsu-the-revelation/ http://afterimage.animeuknews.net/2008/05/10/late-to-the-party-golgo-13-himitsu-the-revelation/ 2 If manliness were a disease, it couldn’t get much worse than Golgo 13. The aptly named Duke Togo doesn’t do emotion, he does big guns, and his legendary aim is as precise with the hearts’ of fine ladies as when trained on the “meat-filled football” (Golgo’s words, not mine) of a terrorist. Being billed as [...] Sat, 10 May 2008 10:00 GMT http://sandy-and-stuff.livejournal.com/19032.html http://sandy-and-stuff.livejournal.com/19032.html 1551 You may remember my ramble about how much I loved Alundra. Well, that went on to find a home at the site Zelda Elements. I always said I wanted to write about the sequel, and I just so happen to have done that. Consider this an advanced preview, as it won't appear on the site for a while yet.  Ah, Alundra. It’s no secret that Alundra is a game I love - more than some Zelda games, in fact. T.. Fri, 09 May 2008 21:00 GMT http://sandy-and-stuff.livejournal.com/18771.html http://sandy-and-stuff.livejournal.com/18771.html 1551 Just a quick update to let you all know that, in all my years of making bacon, today, for the first time, I successfully set fire to a slice.Accidentally, of course. Fri, 09 May 2008 16:00 GMT http://afterimage.animeuknews.net/2008/05/09/late-to-the-party-amatsuki-allison-and-lillia/ http://afterimage.animeuknews.net/2008/05/09/late-to-the-party-amatsuki-allison-and-lillia/ 2 Much like The Daughter of Twenty Faces, I went into Amatsuki with low expectations. It looks mediocre in the way that it’s overflowing with cliche bishonen character designs and therefore, blatant (almost Get Backers-esque) homo eroticism. The animation isn’t especially good, but again, the overall feeling wasn’t bad at all. Story is basically that modern, [...] Fri, 09 May 2008 16:00 GMT http://KyokoHunter.deviantart.com/art/Suspension-Mechanic-Girl-85158380 http://KyokoHunter.deviantart.com/art/Suspension-Mechanic-Girl-85158380 2231 Fri, 09 May 2008 13:00 GMT http://www.thechocolatereview.net/2008/05/09/hersheys-milk-chocolate-with-almonds/ http://www.thechocolatereview.net/2008/05/09/hersheys-milk-chocolate-with-almonds/ 2120 Ah Hershey’s, that old American classic that hardly anyone outside America likes, and yet will still get defended to the death. I generally stay away from it wherever possible, but I figure that eventually I’d have to review their stuff, and this has the potential to actually be good, methinks. I can only see this being [...] Fri, 09 May 2008 12:00 GMT http://animanachronism.wordpress.com/2008/05/08/not-elevens-allusions/ http://animanachronism.wordpress.com/2008/05/08/not-elevens-allusions/ 2450 The funny thing is, wildarmsheero is right: Code Geass doesn’t have a pretentious bone in its body. It’s the fans who are the pretentious ones. The show is just noise and pictures, and it’s the fans who shove the meaning on it. We’ve been here before, and we don’t need to say anything about Code [...] Thu, 08 May 2008 23:00 GMT http://Outlawstar8489.deviantart.com/art/Game-Time-85096558 http://Outlawstar8489.deviantart.com/art/Game-Time-85096558 2056 Thu, 08 May 2008 21:00 GMT
