I Think I Need Some "Hand Maid May" Time
March 6th, 2012 
AstroNerdBoy Whew! The last couple of days have been very busy for your’s truly, as I attempt to FINALLY clean up all of the old blog posts that have their images jacked up. Its a very tedious task and prior to two days ago, was a task that took an insane amount of time as I
A Certain Magical Index — A Weekend Plan
February 18th, 2012 AstroNerdBoy I’m down to the final four episodes of A Certain Magical Index (first series), so I’m going to try to watch these during my weekend break and get a series review up. In the meantime, I couldn’t help be struck by some things. Had I not watched A Certain Scientific Railgun, I’d have no clue
Negima’s Ken Akamatsu’s Exclusive Contract With Kodansha Ending
February 15th, 2012 AstroNerdBoy Negima! fan Hata reported a couple of things from Akamatsu-sensei’s recent tweets. Here’s the first tweet in question. Basically, Akamatsu-sensei is answering a question posed to him on whether his next manga series will be published in Weekly Shounen Magazine or not.

February 11th, 2012 AstroNerdBoy Akamatsu-sensei posted this on Wednesday (when chapter was released in Japan), but I’m behind so I’m only sharing this now. ^_^; In Japan, everyone can read chapter352 of Negima today. Now, I must say that Negima will end at chapter355. It is not truncation. Please expect a good ending of Negima. I’m pulling two things
FUNimation’s Lawsuit Against ADV/Sentai
January 14th, 2012 AstroNerdBoy I saw the buzz about this yesterday and thought I’d throw my 2-cents into the mix (’cause that’s how I roll). When ADV closed shop, I thought it was very odd that they didn’t truly close shop, but instead became several, smaller companies, one of which is Sentai. It made no sense to me unless
A Funny Comic Strip on Manga (and Anime) Adaptations
January 6th, 2012 AstroNerdBoy Hey gang! Well, the new year kicks off and India is back with a roar. So, that’s why my Twitter has suddenly, mostly gone dead, why I’m not playing Skyrim like I’d like, and why my blog is suffering as a result. ^_^; During my next window of opportunity, I’m going to really have to
