Shameful Otaku Secret!

Strategy Guide

What you say?

I realize I lost some people last week, so here’s a summary in advance. One run-on sentence apiece.

To Love-Ru: Some heretofore-unintroduced Queen of the School starts a rivalry with Lala and ends up mistakenly blasting Lala’s space-capsule bedroom into the sky — it’s a lot like that one episode of Ah! My Goddess but with nudity.

Kanokon: Nozumu’s brother puts a magical abstinence bracelet on Kouta, but the combined force of all the furries plus the Kouta/Chizuru combo defeats him and he takes it off — it’s a lot like Inuyasha with nudity.

But instead of our normal deathmatch recap, let’s take a minute to examine strategy. How have these two players put their game together? Read on to find out… (more…)

No deathmatch this week.

What are you doing?

OK how many of you weaboos out there are “web 2.0″ enough to be on Twitter? If not, you should really give it a shot, especially the bloggers. It’s a pain in the ass to explain Twitter, but basically you talk about what you’re doing in 140 characters or less. They call it “micro-blogging,” and aside from being able to broadcast the most inane, banal minutiae of your boring-ass life, it’s great training for being a more efficient, clever-pants writer. I’ve used it in my “real” life for quite a while, but I thought I’d try an SOS account. So far it’s been great for getting out initial reactions to shows etc. etc. You may have noticed it in the sidebar a couple weeks ago, but I took it out because Twitter is notoriously slow and tends to hang the site.

So point your webernet browsing device to http://www.twitter.com/otakusecret and start following me for more prolific updates than I give on the blog. Or don’t. I’ll only be marginally offended.
