Bodacious Space Pirates, canc, Say "i Love You", Toradora

July 2014 is the most successful month on Pirates of the Burley Griffin, and the least successful month for the Anime for Cancer Research fundraisers. Is it wrong of me to wish that those two were reversed?

Still, as I did in January 2014, let’s take a look at the posts that made July 2014 the best so far:

  1. The Reality of Idol Culture in Japan (February 2013)
  2. Anime Review List (periodically updated)
  3. Say “I Love You” (2012): Final Thoughts with Spoilers (December 2012)
  4. I’m not sure what the worst part about this is (July 2014)
  5. Toradora: The Complete Series(2009) (July 2014)

Hanabee, Toradora

Hanabee have just re-released Toradora as single slimpack, and the review copy will be featured in the cancer research auction this month.

The new version also features a dub (which I haven’t sampled since I tend not to).

I quite liked Toradora so if you’re at all interested in picking this up (and you should be), here are my thoughts on the first half of the series, and on the second half.

Remember, you get both halves in the slimpack, minus the nifty collectors box, but you also need less shelf space and get an English soundtrack!

Auctioning Review Copies for Cancer Research at Conflux 9

Alien 9, Gyo: Tokyo Fish Attack!, Hanabee, hiiro no kakera, Inu X Boku SS, Toradora

The Conflux 9 fan auction was this morning and I auctioned off the Hanabee review copies for Gyo: Tokyo Fish Attack, Toradora, Hiiro no Kakera, Alien 9, and Inu X Boku.*

Many thanks to the Conflux attendees who bid, and I’ll be depositing at least $140 to a cancer research charity this week (I may round it up a bit).

I will be attacking the To Review pile in the coming weeks so I have charity auction material for Continuum 9: Contraindicators in June. Speaking of which, have you checked out the ballot for the Chronos Awards yet?

* I still have the Inu X Boku blu-ray and will post a review of that sometime soonish.

Bodacious Space Pirates, ef: a tale of melodies, ef: a tale of memories, Hanabee, sf cons, Toradora

I was always going to auction a batch of review copies at SwanCon for cancer research. Cancer has hit the Australian SF community far too hard in recent years, and the kind provision of the review copies by Hanabee is too good an opportunity to pass up.

The only question was which type of cancer research to support this time around. Continue reading →
