Re: Buti-Shake 2012

This year, the butishake was kind of of disappointing. I hardly heard any of the suggestions, and the ones that were played, were altered. I saw a lot of people leaving and I can't say i disagreed with them. SO, I guess my suggestion is that maybe more of the requests should be played. :| Noted, ju...

Since I'm such a old time yokai themed junkie I'm re-watching Natsume Yojincho and then starting up Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan . Now don't get me wrong I LOVE all historical dramas and old yokai themes but they usually are based around young men. Does anyone know any yokai/historical dramas that ...

Re: What anime are you currently watching?

Been really digging a French show called Wakfu, based on the games. Its honestly the best animated show I've seen in years and oddly enough its done in Adobe Flash.... but I'll be damned if its still not the best animation Ive seen in a TV series. The designs are a cross between anime and a Belgian ...
