A Short Break

I have good news, bad news and some other good news!

The good news is that Mystyr E and I have finally cowboyed up and got ourselves an apartment! That’s right, we are – at this very moment, perhaps – moving all our junk into a spacious, 800 square foot place that will no doubt be filled to bursting with manga and comics in a few months’ time. Also, fish tanks. We have an asston of fish tanks.

The bad news is that we’re not going to have internet for a little while.

Recovery Room!

Hey guys! Due to the fact that yesterday a tiny camera was passed down my throat so the doctors could look around and try and figure out where the demons are living* I’m not going to even try to write a post today. In fact, I’m probably so high on Propofol or whatever right now [...]

The End of YenPlus

Today I was planning on writing one of my usual posts – a veritable whingefest about a manga that I had very high hopes for that fell magnificently flat – but got sidetracked by an announcement on the YenPlus website: The July 2010 issue will be the last print issue of YenPlus.

As a subscriber from the fifth issue and a reader since issue one, I feel like a broken record even writing this post since a similar one was posted not even a year ago. I truly loved and enjoyed YenPlus even more than Shojo Beat because it had a wider variety of manga styles and included manwha and OEL series as well. The thought that I won’t be able to idly flip through the latest Soul Eater episode while eating dinner is, well, heartwrenching.

A Plague Upon Our House

Due to a sudden plague affecting the joint Geekerella and MystyrE household, bloggery has been put on hold until we can stand upright for more than a few hours and/or lay on our backs without coughing ourselves into migraines. Or at least until we’re well enough to figure out the wrappers on the DayQuil.

We hope to be back online with next week’s Hagaren episode.

Ōkamikakushi Anime is a Go

Anime News Network reports that Ōkamikakushi, the PSP visual novel that was released just last week, will be getting its own TV anime adaptation. It seems like they’re moving even faster than usual on this one, I assume because they’re anticipating that the VN itself will be a hit, and from the website it looks like we can expect more unsettling mysteries and disturbing murders in a small village where the river separates the “new” and “old” parts of town.

No word yet on a possible release date, but there’s always the possibility it’ll make it out in time for the Spring 2010 preview. Awesome.
