Anime-Wiki — Time to Leave Wikipedia I absolutely hate Wikipedia. Seriously, the wiki-gods over there continue to drive me spare with their hideous treatment of the anime and manga stuff. As I mentioned back in late March 2007, the self-appointed gods of that site feel that they can do what they like, including renaming the

Arrogant Scanlators (and Fansubbers)
September 15th, 2007 
AstroNerdBoy Arrogant Scanlators (and Fansubbers) You know, I personally don’t have anything against a fansub group who creates unofficial English translations of anime, nor do I have anything against scanlation groups who create unofficial English translations of manga. I feel that these kinds of groups are a 2-edged sword to the official English language market. Depending
I Have a Spam Blog

April 11th, 2007 AstroNerdBoy Negima! Volume 1 — Del Rey and Peter David *sigh* I knew Peter David had made some changes to the Negima!

However, even people whom I heard complain about Del Rey’s early adaptation never mention the extent of the domestication in the early volume

March 28th, 2007 AstroNerdBoy CLAMP vs. Clamp — The Wikipedia War I’m sure most of us know of Wikipedia — the online encyclopedia where nearly anyone can create entries and make updates to articles that reside within its pages. I’ve used it quite a lot and have made entries and fixes to certain articles. But if you’ve used it
Back to the Vaults 02 – Azumanga Daioh (part 1)
March 9th, 2007 AstroNerdBoy Back to the Vaults – Azumanga Daioh (part 1) I had forgotten that I’d planned to do another of these entries after I finished re-watching Chobits. Its odd, but it wasn’t as enjoyable this time around. Oh, don’t get me wrong, I did still enjoy watching Chobits and plan to do so again sometime down
