Goodbye Crunchyroll.com

Crunchyroll, a video sharing site devoted to anime has announced it will no longer be accepting fan subs uploaded by users after closing an exclusive deal with TV publishers.

Although there is no definite answer yet from the site’s managers and some think its a hoax; most of the CR community is already saying its farewell.

As for me, I’m leaving CR because I feel it has became less than interesting compared before and the pre-video ads are driving me nuts. Anyway most of the anime posted there are also available at ZOMGAnime.

Philippines and Terrorism According to Japanesse Anime.

I've been watching new anime about pirates via WinampTV titled "Black Lagoon" then episodes 11-12 struck me when the story ended up in Basilan Philippines. The story goes like this, a couple of terrorist related papers has fallen to the hands of a pirate group called "Lagoon Company" after a US embassy was bombed and its their job to deliver it to a CIA agent at Basilan, Philippines. WTF?! Anyway as the story goes on and they went rampaging around, blewing up things and killing all the terrorist. Wow, now i know why they bombed Basilan! Anyway it can't be helped that other countries look at Philippines that way due to the country's history of military and civil unrest.
