Japanese comics and cartoons aren’t just for the nerds, Part 2
Sorry I’ve been recently waylaid by other projects but I’m finally back again with a few more esoteric recommendations this time. I’ve been trying to find mostly completed projects as having to wait for the story to finish is never fun. Though honestly, if you haven’t at least looked into everything I mentioned last time, [...]

Another lovely week here on Battlemouth, and another opportunity for you to Talk Nerdy to Me.
Before we begin, what do you think of the new banner, readers? I shot it myself and have thus discovered it is rather difficult to accomplish good self portraits.
Today I have a question from an anonymous user from the interwebs. [...]
Japanese comics and cartoons aren’t just for the nerds, Part 1
4. February 2010
There’s a lot of public opinion that most of the shows and comics coming out of Japan, or even just Asia, are rather badly scripted and for little kids. Much of this opinion seems to be based on whatever was aired on Adult Swim or even Toonami, which really isn’t a good sample of what [...]

29. January 2010
With Consumerism day – er, I mean Valentine’s Day – just on the Horizon, I figured I would share some ideas for Valentine’s Day gifts for that special geek in your life.
Cards
Every year I end up just buying the Marvel Valentine’s made for little kids and giving them to all of my friends with mix [...]
Talk Nerdy To Me- The Saga Begins
29. January 2010
Hello, and welcome to the first installment of Talk Nerdy to Me, Battlemouth’s resident geeky advice column. Today we have a question from an anonymous user, who asked:
How does one start up a relationship with a non-geek. Geek is in my blood, but she shares none of these qualities. How can I make this work??
The [...]
Talk Nerdy To Me
21. January 2010
I’m sure you’ve seen the saying plastered across many girl’s boobs at conventions; or more recently on the chests of 14 year olds where you DON’T want your eyes to go, accompanied with a screen printed image of Hello Kitty wearing a plaid skirt and Elvis Costello glasses.
Well luckily, this column isn’t a shirt. But [...]
Sword of the Stranger Review
21. June 2009
Kotaro is a young boy being chased by the Mings. With him is his dog, Tobimaru. Through their running and hiding they come across a nameless swordsman. Hired as a bodyguard, the nameless swordsman joins them. Meanwhile the Chinese army joins Japan’s forces to hunt the child whose blood is an ingredient to create eternal life (hey, it’s anime, so why not). Will Kotaro escape the Mings? Who exactly is this nameless swordsman? Should you watch this movie?

29. September 2008
This weekend I went to NYAF, the New York Anime Festival, at the Javits Center in New York City. Here is a recap of what went on. There were some license announcements, industry panels, and merchandise to drain the wallet. It didn’t seem as big as last year, but with Geneon gone [...]

2. September 2008
With an upcoming release from FUNimation, the disc contains a trailer for the FMA movie on Blu-ray. This was previously rumored, but is now confirmed. This title was previously announced for a release in Japan, but one would need to order a ridiculous box set to get it. I say ridiculous because [...]
