June 28th, 2009 
AstroNerdBoy 2009 Denver Cherry Blossom Festival (Denver Sakura Matsuri) I attended the 2009 Denver Cherry Blossom Festival on Saturday and as always it was a lot of fun (and those attending today I’m sure will have fun as well).

Natsu no Arashi — The Parody Reference Chart
June 26th, 2009 AstroNerdBoy Natsu no Arashi — The Parody Reference Chart While waiting for access to the next TWO episodes of Natsu no Arashi, I was made aware of a chart that Japanese fans are putting together to display many of the parody imagery the anime does.

June 17th, 2009 AstroNerdBoy Fate/stay night — Time to Eat! As I was writing my article for episode 21 of Fate/stay night, I happened to notice in my collection of images this picture I picked up at some point featuring Sakura, Saber, and Fujimura-sensei (aka: Fuji-nee). Garik had recently mentioned how much food Shirou has to spring for and
TokyoPop: In the Manga Business or the Cost Cutting Business?
June 16th, 2009 AstroNerdBoy TokyoPop: In the Manga Business or the Cost Cutting Business? I’m very displeased with TokyoPop at the moment. With my recent purchases of Sgt. Frog volume 17, Gakuen Alice volume 7, and Phantom Dream volume 2 (review coming soon), I discovered that TokyoPop doesn’t appear to be in the manga business any more but rather
