How I became ‘perverted’
Maintaining a reputation can be difficult sometimes- one minute you’ve convinced everyone you’re as sweet and innocent as they come, the next you’ve gained a reputation for being a bit of a pervert. The latter isn’t true, of course, but how could such a misunderstanding have come about? Continue reading “Tuesday Rumble: September 30th”
FMA2 and the seven new deadly sins
With the recent announcement of a second season of Fullmetal Alchemist coinciding with the Pope announcing seven new ‘modern’ deadly sins, it seems only natural that the two should go hand in hand. Could it be that in this new season, Ed and Al will have to battle seven new Homunculi related to these sins?
Pollution: Like a villain from Captain Planet, Pollution’s only aim is to spew noxious and damaging materials into the atmosphere. Wherever Pollution goes, animals die, plants wither and mysterious mutants turn up. Continue reading “Tuesday Rumble: September 16th”
Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei: the lost chapters
Sensei enters the classroom.
Sensei: Class, today there is no class! As the world is ending tomorrow, we must make the most of our final hours?
Chiri: What do you mean, Sensei?
Sensei pulls out an diagram of CERN and the Large Hadron Collider.
Sensei: When they switch this on tomorrow, it will create a micro black hole and the whole world will be sucked in?
Kafka: I’m sure that won’t happen, Sensei.
Chiri: It’s just a baseless speculation- no sensible person would believe in it. Remember when the world was going to end in 1999? Continue reading “Tuesday Rumble: September 9th”
Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei: the lost chapters
Class has begun, but Sensei is nowhere to be seen, and in his place is a crudely made replica.
Chiri: What is this?
Kaede: I can’t be taught by a fake! I’ll sue!
[Meru: What a stupid reproduction.]
Sensei appears from nowhere!
Sensei: This is the new, automated Sensei! In an age where humans Continue reading “Tuesday Rumble: September 2nd”
Anime Olympics

Book Promotion Special

Dragons’ Den
Welcome to our regular feature based on the TV program of the same name, in which anime characters try to market their great idea to five fat cats of anime! President Aria made his fortune in the gondola industry of Neo Venezia, and is now CEO of a well-known company. Mikoto started her business in the capital of Wind Bloom, and is now a trusted advisor to the queen, with business partners scattered across the world. The Admiral’s first business venture was to invest in a Chinese restaurant, but a meteor threat to Earth saw her buy shares in ground and space based defence technology, which she currently administers with her protégé “The General” (aka Shogun). Mr Tibbs started his career as a tea cat for the bank, but his sound grasp of finance saw him rise up the ranks until he became one of their most prominent managers. Finally, The Cardinal is the world’s most powerful fat cat, with a wide range of business interests that ensure that he has a paw in every pie (often literally, depending on his appetite). These five cats represent some heavyweight investment clout in every sense of the word, but is any deal attractive enough to get them to roll off their backsides and shake paws with a budding entrepreneur? Continue reading “Tuesday Rumble: August 5th”

Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei: the lost chapters
2-H enters the classroom, only to see that the whole place is lit by candles- Sensei is in the shadows.
Chiri: Sensei, what’s going on?
Chiri switches the light on, causing Sensei to rise up and scream.
Sensei: You mustn’t!
Maria: Sensei’s a vampire!
(Meru: Idiot.)
Sensei: Turn that light off! Class, today we must spend the entire day without relying on electricity once! Therefore, IT class is cancelled- we’ll watch an educational movie instead!
Chiri: But to watch the movie we’ll need a TV and DVD player.
Sensei: Zetsubou shita! The culture that relies so much on electricity has left me in despair! Continue reading “Tuesday Rumble: July 22nd”
