Anime Screenshots 1

November 08, 2009 By: Nopy Category: Anime

Recently I’ve been taking screenshots of anime that I’ve been watching, and when I was thinking of what to do with them, I thought why not make a post about them on my blog. So from now on every week (or when I feel like it) I’ll post some screenshots that I’ve taken over the past week that I thought were cute, cool, funny, or just plain wtf?

Some of these are from a couple weeks ago, but sinc this is my first batch I might as well include what I’ve taken so far:

I guess I should make a post about this before I completely forget. I got volume 16 of Megami Creators a couple months ago which is when I took these shots so I can’t’ remember who the artists are (and I don’t have this volume with me). Anyways, here is some of the art featured in this volume:

Best Anime Ever?

October 25, 2009 By: Nopy Category: Anime

So today I was bored and decided to rewatch an anime. With the seeming lack of good quality anime nowadays, I needed something that would keep me watching for several hours. The anime that immediately came to mind was Martian Successor Nadesico (aka Mobile Battleship Nadesico).

 nadesico

Nadesico first aired in 1996 and ran for 26 episodes with 1 movie that came out in If you haven’t been watching anime long enough to know of Nadesico, here’s a quick breakdown of the series from Wikipedia:

The series takes place in the year 2196 and Earth is warring with a race of alien invaders called the “Jovian Lizards”. To combat it, a company called Nergal designs a space battleship, the ND-001 Nadesico. While the ship is powerful and its crew consists of the top civilian experts in their fields, these individuals tend to have “some slight personality disorders”.

The primary protagonist, Akito Tenkawa, is a boy with a mysterious past; once a resident of Mars’ Utopia colony, he escaped its destruction by the Jovian Lizards and arrived on Earth, with no memory of how he got there but a terrible fear of the invaders. He hates fighting and only wants to be a chef, however, he is constantly called on to act as a pilot of one of the Nadesico’s Aestivalis – humanoid combat robots. While on board the Nadesico, Akito has more problems to deal with than just the Jovians; nearly all the female members of the crew, especially the vessel’s captain Yurika Misumaru, seem to be head over heels in love with him, though all he wants to do is cook and watch his favorite anime, Gekigangar III.

Hikikomori For A Weekend

October 19, 2009 By: Nopy Category: Otaku, Random Wonderings

Most of you otaku out there probably know what a hikikomori is, but if you don’t you can read up on them at Wikipedia. So since I don’t really know anyone in this city (besides people from work) and my landlord leaves me alone most of the time, I thought I’d try living like a hikikomori for a weekend to see what it was like. Don’t ask me why I decided to try being a hikikomori, I don’t really know myself. Maybe it was because of curiosity or boredom, or maybe a bit of both.

Spice and Wolf II Review

October 18, 2009 By: Nopy Category: Anime

If you’ve seen the first season of Spice and Wolf, then you already have a good idea of what Spice and Wolf II is about. Like the first season, the second season follows the merchant Lawrence and his companion, the wolf deity Horo, as they journey to find Horo’s home in the north. Wikipedia has a pretty good plot summary of the series.
