Going to hibernate the posts for a while (but not the podcasts)
So I’ve got a number of podcasts to record between now and the middle/end of February. And I’m writing full time for Otaku News and Mangabookshelf. So the blog is going to hibernate for a while. I’ll still be releasing podcasts but for the next few months there won’t be any blog entries other than the podcasts. So if you need me, I’ll be watching anime, actual bloody anime!
I just can’t seem to concentrate on anime any more. Like I’m trying to catch my breath and it’s not working. I look at other podcasters and bloggers and see that they put time away to watch shows and then hand in reviews. So that’s what I’m going to do.
As always I’m on Twitter.
And why the picture of Kenshiro on the top of the post? Why the hell not?
Capsule Review: Sumomo Momomo: The Strongest Bride on Earth
Today, we tackle Sumomomo Momomo: The Strongest Bride on Earth Shinobu Ohtaka. A fun little diversion, nevertheless the slight ick factor could threaten to destroy what is otherwise a good manga. Also, I’ve now discovered the best Japanese tongue twister by researching this title. Click on the download link for more info. As always, click on the post image to buy volume 1 from Amazon US. Or follow the text links below for the volumes I’ve covered so far.

Capsule Review: A Bride’s Story Vol.1
A small capsule review of Kaoru Mori’s A Bride’s Story here. I liked this story and I would say that if you’re tired of the usual fare in manga, this is a welcome change of pace. Volume one can be ordered from Amazon by clicking on the post image above and volume two can be preordered by clicking here.
UPDATE: Volume three is now up on Amazon for preorder for March 2012. Here’s the link.

Thanks to Ed Sizemore and Johanna Draper Carlson for tackling the manga on their sites. Thanks to Kate Dacey over at Manga Critic for reviewing Bride’s Story and also to David Welsh and lastly to Deb Aoki and Melinda Beasi for putting me on the title in the first place.
Tired but it was worth it.

Hi all!
I’m back from Otakon and it was great. Saw the new Shinkai film and attended a bunch of panels. I’ll be doing some podcasts about it later this week so hopefully you’ll get to hear about it soon.
Laters!
See you at Otakon!

Hi all. Here’s a brief update for those of you (and at this point the list is growing short) who don’t follow either of us on Twitter:
New podcast next month (see below). I’m kinda getting itchy to go back to recording. If there’s a series, movie or manga that you want covered let us know via email.
More written reviews next week. I’m enjoying doing written pieces on otakunews and MMF and I’m looking forward to expanding stuff into our site as well.
I’m going to Otakon next week. If you want to swing by and say hi, hit me up on Twitter. Check out our site or Otakunews.com for any info out of the con.
That’s it. Talk with you all next week.
