    --> (post a character with 'tsu' or 'zu' somewhere in his/her name in the shoutbox!)

    How to Play: Join up the names! Taking the last syllable/sound of the previous name, suggest another name (of an anime/manga character or seiyuu) with that sound in any part of the name EXCEPT the last syllable. Please post the new name (and the anime/manga it's from) in my shoutbox. (Just above this.) No consecutive entries, please -- you cannot play this one alone. XD
    When I get tired of reviewing, I'll pick one character from this list to feature in a post, regardless of whether I previously know him/her or not! :) That page will eventually be linked on this list.
    E.g....Hirano Aya (Seiyuu)--> (next one should have 'ya' in the name, NOT in the end) Okuyama Masumi (Nodame Cantabile) --> Misato Kaoru (Moyashimon).......

Hetalia: Axis Powers 1 - PASTA~~

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

This episode was awesome, though I wish they’d shown more of Chibitalia. XD (I remember reading that yonkoma, and there was more to it!)It is only five minutes, which is a pity; but unlike other reviewers have said, I didn’t feel like it was rushed, nor did I feel like the characters were talking too fast. And yes, no screenshots for this since my MPC seems to be working up. ._. You get random art from talented artists instead. XD Sources tagged in imageshack pages for the images.

My favourite bit in the ep, though? Definitely PASTAAAAAAAAA……and I went video-surfing after I’d watched the ep, too. Oh, also — happy belated Chinese New Year, everyone who cares!

Shortly after I’d watched the episode, I found an awesome AMV at minataba15’s youtube channel –

 

I didn’t even know that was UK (thought it was Germany -coughs- Blur diao k) — but favourite song + subtle and deft handling…yay awesome. :) And look~ a UKxJapan doujin courtesy of a wonderful pixiv artist. ^^

Alternatively, have a look at Kidchan’s as-yet-incomplete-but-already-very-awesome APH video…like a few commenters have said, it looks really professional! I’m personally loving the quirkiness, music, and the colours. Of course, the bishounen are a nice addition. -halo-

    Hehe, at first glance I thought that this was an Ipod advertisement.

    Hmmm, I can’t seem to find any way to do a weekly subscription unless of you want to do it manually, but that’d be a lot of work. And you’ve got to consider that that’s a lot to read at once.

    I don’t really think of it as spamming either, cause they DID sign up for it, and I enjoy reading all the blogs that I get in my email every day. Not quite sure… there’s always the good old plain rss feed bookmarks I guess.
