Rook Takes Queen: August 2010
http://rook-takes-queen.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Much nerdier than it sounds. Tuesday, August 31, 2010. Opinions: Sometimes I Have Them. I don't know how this line of thought crossed my mind. I probably shouldn't think so much while I'm in the shower. But I was thinking a lot about the anime " Baccano. Process and bounces around between several timelines (and sometimes time periods. To tell the story. And honestly, I don't think it would be as good if it had been done any other way. The series opens with Carol and the Vice President of the Daily Days d...

Much nerdier than it sounds. Wednesday, October 27, 2010. New Sides To Old Stories. The great thing is that right as my schedule has calmed down two of my favorite series have entered new arcs. Chatper 424 of "Bleach" and chapter 57 of "Genshiken" both came out today and have manged to light a bit of a fire under me. Seem slike his kind of thing.

Much nerdier than it sounds. Saturday, January 14, 2012. Sono Reviews: Kamen Rider Fourze Foodroid - Potechokin. Throwing my hat back into the toy review game with a review of Potechokin (who I more commonly refer to as "Friesmeal") from Kamen Rider Fourze! This review was very fun to do, and I absolutely love this toy! I'm a 23-year-old college ggraduate, with aspirations of being something of a graphic novelist. I'm a huge fan of animation, comics, and music. View my complete profile. Dead duck at 2am.

Rook Takes Queen: December 2009
http://rook-takes-queen.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Much nerdier than it sounds. Wednesday, December 23, 2009. Out of the gate, I want to apologize for the bad quality of the photos in this entry. My only camera is my cell phone and it's really not the best one in the world, especially since my living room is poorly lit. He also got me an Iron Fist figure and gave me a gundam (lovingly named "Bro-Gundam") that I always play with when I go to his house. I don't think either of us know which series this Gundam is from, but I love this little dude. Playing w...

Rook Takes Queen: Gurren Lagann vol. 5
http://rook-takes-queen.blogspot.com/2012/01/gurren-lagann-vol-5.html
Much nerdier than it sounds. Saturday, January 14, 2012. Gurren Lagann vol. 5. So I finally bought, and the days later finally got around to reading, volume 5 of the Gurren Lagann. Manga It is probably my least favorite volume just because it saddled me with a wide range of negative emotions, though it finished off with a really cute chapter. Guame has seized control of all of Dai-Gurren's ganmen, so Simon can't combine Lagann with Gurren. Oh no. Why the hell isn't the rest of Dai-Gurren going to...Of CO...

Rook Takes Queen: September 2010
http://rook-takes-queen.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Much nerdier than it sounds. Monday, September 27, 2010. Getting started with Pokemon: Best Wishes. So, I sat and watched the first two episodes of "Pokemon: Best Wishes" just now as a break from my nearly-completed homework. I have to say, it's following the model pokemon has set for itself pretty closely so far. Shooti and Ash had a battle in the first episode which Ash lost because Zekrom broke Pikachu's electrical abilities. And then. fixed them? Though, so far, I think my favorite part is Mijumaru.

Much nerdier than it sounds. Wednesday, February 10, 2010. More Pokemon Gen V News - New Pokemon! Two posts in one day? That's right kids. Because we've got BREAKING NEWS. Three days ago we had a bout of nerd rage when someone posted a fake evolution for Lucario done in the silhouette of the new Gen 5 pokemon. Well today we've gotten the actual image of this pokemon. Have info on these new pokemon so, this time, they are totally legit. Gen III (Sept '04) - Gen IV (Sept '06) - Again, two years. But the la...

Rook Takes Queen: August 2009
http://rook-takes-queen.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Much nerdier than it sounds. Thursday, August 6, 2009. So as it turns out, I'm madly in love with a sword. I'm here today, continuing my coverage of the Zanpakuto filler arc of the Bleach anime. I'm gonna kick this off with yet another. Comparison shot because I forgot to cover this last week. We already learned in Magic Knight Rayearth that Debonair is a GREAT. Am I the only one who thinks Muramasa is the bastard son of Debonair from "Magic Knight Rayearth"? How the hell does this guy even hold. Another...

Rook Takes Queen: November 2010
http://rook-takes-queen.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Much nerdier than it sounds. Friday, November 5, 2010. Playing Catch-Up: Bakuman Episode 5. Okay so this is the part where I'm fully caught up with Bakuman. Episode 5, for me, was a good follow to episode 4. It was an entirely different direction, but touched on another of my favorite things in this series - the relationship between Mashiro and Azuki and the one between Takagi and Kaya. Also in this episode Mashiro and Takagi's bromance just floruishes. The second half of this episode takes place over su...
