Podcast #4 has gone live!

Yep, loaded, posted and linked, the newest installment of Frankie and Desna Do Anime has gone up over on UnSung Heroes. I do believe that I sound like I have a cold. But I don't remember feeling like I had a cold. Next podcast, I'm dosing myself with Vitamin C a few days before it is time to record. 

It was pretty short this month due to a few things. The story was pretty straight forward, so there wasn't too much to dig into. Secondly, the anime was short, so there was only so much you could say about it. It felt pretty quick when we were recording and even more so after I edited it. But it was better to keep it short and sweet rather than drag it out when nothing was there.

So yeah, click the link. Enjoy the podcast. 

What I do online

So it dawned on me that perhaps people who are looking at my blog, do not know about the other things that I do via the interwebs. I am going to use this blog post to shamelessly plug my other online projects that are out there in obscurity.

Almost a year ago (it will actually be a full year next month...wow, time flies) I was allowed on the writing staff of a website called UnSung Heroes. (www.the-ush.com) I have no idea why they let me join there staff. But I'm there now and there is no getting rid of me. There, I write a monthly article reviewing webcomics. This was something that I wanted to do for a long time, I just didn't have the platform for it. Enter in the USH and I was given one. I really like sharing something I have an interest in with others. And it makes me really happy when I get the occasional comment of "I'm going to go and read this now. This comic looks awesome!"

So if you guys want to read my articles (and the others not written by me, of course), you can do several things. You can click the link above and look for the Click Here for Comics articles (Comic review section). You click this link for my latest review of FreakAngels or you can follow Unsung Heroes on Twitter (www.twitter.com/the_ush) for article updates. My articles come out every 2nd Tuesday of the month.

On top of that, I do an anime podcast. (Oh yes, the dork is definitely coming out now.) This is also posted on UnSung Heroes. I got the idea to do this because I'm always talking about anime with my sister (who is the co-host) anyway. So we might as well record ourselves talking. I found us to be entertaining, so we gave podcasting a shot. This is a newer venture, so there aren't as many podcasts as review articles. But you can listen to our thoughts on Black Cat by clicking on the link. The podcasts are going to be up on the last week of every month. I haven't hammered down a specific day yet. And again, you can watch the USH Twitter for updates.

So those are the only things that I do on the internet with any seriousness. Everything else is just spamming forums with my random thoughts on random topics and writing. Nothing anyone wants to see. So there you go blog lookers. More of me if you want it :D

Comic books and anime!

So I finally sat down and read Kill Shakespeare #3 today and it was just oh so good! I absolutely love the writing in this book. I especially love the exchanges with Lady MacBeth. I am not entirely sure what makes me like that character. Maybe it is because she is a strong female character and I can almost see the wheels turning in her head. And the way she is drawn just depicts so much attitude. I like her.


Unfortunately, I did not request Kill Shakespeare #2 for my Comic Pull list in time, so there is a gap in my reading. I am not sure why book 3 starts with Hamlet in a forest or why he is throwing up on some fat man. But it doesn't really matter. I was just as immersed in the story as I was when I first opened book 1. I have Kill Shakespeare #4 sitting here, waiting to be read, but I'm saving it. I feel like a kid who has been giving a whole box full of candy and I don't want to eat it all at once.


Stayed up to wee hours of the morning watching Fairy Tail, an anime that zoomed straight to the top of my awesome list. This is probably the first anime where I want to go out and buy the manga. Just like books are better than movies, I have a feeling that the Fairy Tail manga is better than the anime, and the anime rocks! At least it does in my opinion.


I am really not one who thinks that one anime is like another, but this one feels a little like Naruto (Natsu vs. Grey) and a little like One Piece. But that is fine by me, because I like Naruto and I like One Piece. And of course because I am so girly, I absolutely love Happy, Natsu's flying cat. He is so super cute.
