I am interested in Now and Then, Here and There and Otogi Zoshi. Two salient points for you to consider before deciding to initiate the transaction: I'm in South Africa. I will only have the required funds from 25/11. Thanks for at least hearing me out.

Re: [Overseas] US/Foreign Anime News & Announcements The torment continues. Why not accompany "September" with a positive integer within range [1, 30]?

Re: [Overseas] US/Foreign Anime News & Announcements If you like anti-heroes, then there few better done than Gokudo Yuccot Kikansky. He's selfish, amoral, disloyal and extremely flatulent.....and those are his good points.

Steins;Gate I’ll spare you the elaborate intro and state upfront that Steins; Gate is a superb anime; perfect in fact. The story revolves around time travel and its moral and ethical ramifications. The real beauty though is how it handles the time travel aspect without any overtly sci-fi props...

Michiko & Hatchin Publishers love dropping names. It’s a fact. They’ll say anything; establish any connection – however tenuous – to tie their title to a more celebrated peer, all in the name of drumming up sales. That’s why more often than not a cover may proclaim “From the makers of <insert...

Meanwhile, the powers that be at work did a review of my position and reclassified it from a Finance post to an IT post, complete with a higher pay bracket. Plus, I've taken up a managerial post and now find myself on the opposite side of the the interview desk looking for a replacement for my...

How sad that life finally started imitating art..,

Come on, Hong Kong! I don't care what you have to do, but please get this series, on this format, with these extras, plus English subtitles. Then you can name your price.
