If there’s one Western superhero that is similar to an anime/manga lead character, it has to be Batman. He’s full of angst and rage, had a rough past, and has the looks of a bishonen oji-san when he’s not brooding. If you love exploring the psychology of other animated characters, I recommend you check out the Arkham Sessions, which aims to shine a light on a guy who loves…

So I started a New Game+ file in Etrian Odyssey IV….
Hey there, everyone. Today, I felt a bit like talking about video games, since that’s what has been occupying a lot of my attention lately. So when I’m not playing Animal Crossing: New Leaf or Fire Emblem: Awakening, I’m usually playing Etrian Odyssey IV: Legends of the Titan. Etrian Odyssey IV.

They make cool games like Trauma Center and Shin Megami Tensei (which I’ve never played, but is apparently really…

Initial Impressions: Suisei no Gargantia
Good Day readers! And today, an epic anime from the Spring 2013 list, “Suisei no Gargantia”, or “Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet”!!! And from the first 10 minutes of the show, this series literally blew my mind away, because of the sheer amount of epicness involved in these first 10 minutes. Something I’ll elaborate later. Suisei no Gargantia begins in the stars, rather, the galaxy, where the “Galactic Alliance of Humankind” reigns.

Banana Tattoo
When I was a kid my parents always told me not to play with my food because it will not respect what has been given by God. But, a Japanese artist (endcape) seems have different views about this. In the name of art and creativity he used a thumbtack to tattooing bananas and turn it into an amazing work. Ohhh… I really loves the Hatsune Miku banana tattoo that he created, it looks nice!. The video above shows how endcape makes banana tattoo, …
