Otakuness Has Moved!

Hello Hello Our Dear Readers,

We have been spending the last month or so setting up a new website and domain to bring a new look to this blog.

It’s been a while since I (Saranaufogus) had started the blog and I feel like we are at a place where it’s the right time to have our own domain and break away from WordPress.com =)

For our regular readers and subscribers, please resubscribe and visit us at Otakuness.net

For Blogs affiliated to us, please update the links with our new web address.

We hope to see all of you at our new blog!

Lots of Love,

The Otakuness Team

Hyouka – 05 Review

It’s good to know that everyone feels the same way. =P

Episode 05 – The Truth of the Classics Club and Its History

I am suffering from sleep deprivation and this episode didn’t help me counter that one bit.

The episode was a weird one that had made it seem like this were the last episode of the series and that the show was over. Naturally… it isn’t.

Believe it or not, this “laid back detective/story-telling” series is slated for 21 episodes + an OVA. Whether my new found revelation (due to this episode) of the potential series structure for the show is a blessing or a pain-in-the-arse is left to be seen.

Another Interesting Stumble… Sashimi Anyone?

If you are wondering why I am posting this random stumbled instead of a review… the answer to that is that I’m too tired to write up a review today.  =P

Instead, I thought that this might interest you guys instead.

Hyouka – 04 Review

Episode 04 - Past Days of the Classics Club and It’s Glory

Right… So Oreki does it again with his mystery solving skills, but this time he solves it all?

I doubt it.

The show is bad… but it can’t be that bad.

Summer 2012 Anime Preview

Here’s the list of anime that’s out in Summer 2012.

Yay for a second season for Moyashimon! One can never have too many cute micro-organisms floating around. =)

Random Compiled Fate/Zero News

It’s been awhile since I did a random post… and since I had just posted a review of the latest episode of Fate/Zero, I figured that I might as well post some other random interesting things/news on Fate/Zero. =)

This post is basically random stuff related to Fate/Zero that I had stumbled upon on. Most of these stuff are stuff that you may have already seen before if you are an avid fan that track Fate/Zero news. But for others who usually don’t, this post is just to provide some fun reading for you.

Hope you enjoy the post.

Fate/Zero II – 06 (19) Review

Episode 06 (19)

I was tossing up between reviewing Fate/Zero or reviewing Hyouka and have decided on this. It was honestly a hard choice deciding between something that’s idiotic but easy to review, or something that’s entertaining but sure to screw with your mind. (Hopefully you know which is which that I’m referring to)

The last couple of episodes had taken a break from the main story of the Holy Grail War to focus on the character development of Kiritsugu, and whilst Episode 05 had left me with nothing much to say about it, this episode has definitely left made me wondering about the sanity of Kiri and his motives.

How Being An Otaku Can Influence Trade

Who needs big graphs and detailed studies of the economy to get out of a global recession when being an Otaku is so effective? =P

Here’s another post on a interesting article that I had stumbled across.

Hyouka – 03 Review

Episode 03 – Inheritors of the Classics Club and Its Circumstances
aka Episode 03 – The Case of The Smelly Student

So this episode finally gets down to the main “mystery” plot and the episode simply starts off on a “WTH” note and ends on a “WTH” note. (And I don’t mean it in a positive manner)

If you like some mystery mixed in with your slice-of-life genre then this might be right up your alley as this is just what the series is playing out to be – a light (and not that interesting) slice-of-life show with a hint of mystery.
