With every film adaptation that releases, there are sure to be throngs of individuals who remain diehard fans of the original incarnation, and will sit in a small corner with their precious materials and attempt to lash out at any who try to ruin all of their fun by changing it.

Wednesday, March 17, 2010
Sorry, I’ve been recently waylaid by other projects, but I’m finally back again with a few more esoteric recommendations this time.

Friday, August 8, 2008
Well “Bakuman” chapter 1 is out. To me, it doesn’t seem like it will amount to anything special. I am interested though because it is a different idea. I haven’t read a manga before on someone becoming a mangaka. I hope it lasts because I am for original ideas. It also looks [...]
