About Me

I'd like to share what I know about: Anime, Seo

I'd like to discover more about: Seo, Japan

I'm a man of varied interests, ranging from good literature to social media, anime to Internet technologies. I'm a self-described Allogenes (stranger), as I tend to always feel like an outsider, and I always use my outsider status as a way to observe other people. I'm truly an otaku (Japanese for "nerd"). I work on the Internet all day, and then I ...more

I have to admit that I feel a bit weird, being a manly man, writing a review of a romantic drama, but I have to say that I really liked this J-dorama (Japanese drama). Yes, admittedly, I have a bit of a crush on Maki-Maki (Horikita Maki), having seen her in other J-doramas like "Nobuta wo Produce" and "Hanazakari no kimi tachi e," but there's something...more

Hyakko: Suzume Saotome

In terms of animes, Hyakko started out with a lot of potential: a lot of cute and endearing characters, the always-potent backdrop of high school, amazing artwork, and fan service galore. Ayumi Nonomura is an extremely shy girl, despite her good looks and appeal for the boys in her class. On her first day, she meets three friends who will change her...more

Aizen Sousuke Costume

A couple of Halloweens ago, I wanted to dress up as a Bleach character. Since I can't go without my glasses, I had to choose a character that also wore glasses; so I decided to go with Captain Aizen Sousuke. Once I settled on a character, I had to decide to either build the costume myself or to buy one already made. That's when I discovered CosplayMagic.com.Cosplay...more

As a single guy, one of my biggest problems with cooking is finding recipes to feed just one person. Leftovers are a big problem because I don't know when I'll eat at home next ... plus, I like diversity in my meals.  If I cook, I'll definitely have to store my leftovers. But leftovers are never as good as the original meal.The only option for...more

I wasn't quite sure how I'd like yet another anime about high school classmates who are dealing with how to confess their love to the person their interested in, but I really enjoyed this anime. It's a short 25 episodes (much shorter than the big-name animes like Bleach and Naruto), but it's full of great characters, funny moments, and touching scenes....more

Hi Keith! I was wondering if you have heard of what's new at Lunch since the last time your were here. I think the new micro review feature (140 characters or less) is a ton of fun! Have you seen the new lists? Check out @jbeswick's list Top Ten Things I Hope Disappear in 2010. Feel free to send any questions my way!

Hey, Keith, no new reviews yet? I guess you're taking sort of a break. Oh, speaking of anime, there's a great review of "Beck" here by my bud, trashcanman. Check it out...

Hi Keith, I read your profile and I was interested in the concept of Allogenes. Wikipedia was of no help to be me! So what exactly is it? I'm curious because sometimes I feel like an outsider, too, observing the world inside, so I was wondering if that Allogenes describes me as well.

Hi Debbie. Allogenes in a very general sense is that feeling of being a "stranger in a strange land," but it's even more fundamental than that. It's a very Gnostic idea that you're a stranger to this reality. In fact, there's a book in the Gnostic Nag Hammadi Library called "Allogenes." Of course, I think that's generally accompanied by a sense of forlornness, which is often seen as the first step on the path to enlightenment. ... I hope that helps! :-D

That's a much better explanation than I read on Wikipedia, thanks!

I'm glad I could help! :-)

I love how you include videos with your anime reviews. If I wanted to watch some of online (I'll take your advice on Hyakko and assume that there's no storyline — but I am interested in Toradora), do you have any suggestions of where I should go?

Hey LingEatsCake! YouTube has a fair number of episodes, though they're broken down into thirds because of the size limitations. Voshvosh.com has full episodes of Toradora!, and you can download the fansubs at Coalguys.com. Enjoy!!

Thank you! ;)
