Hey all! This is Rho, with some exciting announcements for upcoming events.

This weekend we have three interesting conventions, all in the greater Seattle area:

1. SEATTLE TATTOO EXPO : @Seattle Center : Aug 7-9

Come and see dozens of tattoo artists and their art in Seattle Center, along with various hip-hop crews blastin some phat beats. Vendors are also present, and Kinokuniya (the Uwajimaya bookstore peeps) will be there! Woot! Even if you never plan to get a tat, i’m sure the artwork will stun you.

2. INNOCENTE SERAPHIM : The Bellevue Westin : Aug (7),8,9

A small convention with a focus on BJDs (Ball Jointed Dolls), Goth Lolita fashion, and tea parties. They have a concert featuring the Kissing Violets, a small exhibition hall, photo area, and even a bowling event for people in GothLoli/Victorian dresses! (?) This event does not really seem to cater to my interests, but I may attend for a day just to see what’s up. (as a side note, the creator of one of my fav animes Ghost in the Shell, Shirow Masamune once said that dolls arent simply mimicking real babies; no, girls grow up and have have babies because they subconciously want to relive life with dolls again !! interesting theory, no?)

3. DRAGONFLIGHT : Hilton Bellevue : Aug 7-9

This is supposedly the best gaming convention in all the Northwest…during this time period. With 29 Years in the running, this event with over 500 people focuses on tabletop gaming and larping (Rolemodels much?), with some comp gaming. Looks fun! Hope they have Settlers of Catan, cuz that’s one of the only tabletop games i know of…T_T

I have no idea whether I’ll be going to all or none or some or two or three or one of these, but if you manage to find one to go to, gimme a ring, and i’ll come on OVA. : (425) 577-1073. I don’t bite, usually.

Oh baby.  OOOooOoOoooo baby.

ok, just finished my sandwich.

Sakura-con!

oh that joyous time of year in Seattle, when fat people dress skinny, skinny people don armor, people hug strangers, and large crowds actually make you happy. My pilgrimage, my Carnaval, my bbq ribs laced in honey and sauce.
k, waiting in line is haaaado gei (in a bad way), and it seemed like the pre-reg line was just as long as the at-the-door-reg line. I waited for an hour, and this was partially because their database died for a while….
here’s a 4koma summarizing my struggles:

Oh,…..they bETtaH not.

Now i’ve never really seen much of Dragonball Z, so i dunno what to think about the new live action of that…

but Fullmetal Panic! (?)

Something must be done.  And not Zac F-Ron. If he plays Sagara Sousuke, he’d better duck like Aflac, cuz i got a shoe that needs throwin’.

Megatokyo: W.T.F.?

to clarify: where’s the funniness?
where’s the flow?
what’s the future (of this comic)?
worse than fanfics?
wasting the frames?
where’s the fangirl?
want this fanta?
winnie the foo?
These are very important questions I think about when I read this webcomic.

Hailing from Denmark/A Depressing Lack of Posting…

Hello all. This is Rho, just saying hi from København, Denmark, on vacation. Denmark is great - full of old and new, Pølser hot dogs, Danish danishes, blondes, Carlsberg beer (”Probably the Best Beer in Town”), Legos, furniture, and food that is twice the price of good ol’ American meals. They do have a small fantasy/anime store here, which is nice.

BrokenAnime will be back on schedule reviewing very soon - bear with us as we enjoy the last bits of summer and procrastination. I will continue to review Blade of the Immortal and Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu as soon as I get back (from Greece next, actually). …unfortunately I can’t really speak for Kazeryu or Ryo, but I think they’ll post some soon. Hang tight!

Cute. Smart. Talented. Rich. Hella Otaku.

Director Kazuki Akane and A1 Pictures presents Birdy the Mighty Decode, a series about a beautiful, space Federation law bringer who meets, and becomes mysteriously connected with an average high school boy.

Probably epic. Probably cliché. Probably a retarded name for a series.

Boys and girls, it’s finally here. Bee Train presents Blade of the Immortal, in style.
NOTE: I apologize for any technical difficulties you may have experienced when browsing thumbnails - they have been fixed (FO’SHO), and now you can mouse-over any thumbnail (small) to see the larger image of it right below without having weird testing messages or pseudocode pop out at you. You may, as always with B.A., click on the images to see the original screenshots in larger form. Comments are also open. Thank you for your patience, and sorry. -RHO

Japan! F* YeAH

A suiting image, for a badass series.

Now that our glorious site is about one month old three months old now, and we’re off to a convention in LA soon, I think it’s appropriate to get ourselves some awesome T’s.

Tell me what ya think.

designs using zazzle.com
right now they’d be $11 each, if we get about 4. and if we get 500, they’d only be about $7 each. HA!
