I asked @fildub 3 questions - Obviously, there were follow-ups. Mga kapatid at ka fildub, ‘wag kalimutan ang Voltron on TV5 mamayang 5:45PM! pic.twitter.com/Qx53MwduZc — TV5 (@TV5manila) January 31, 2017 It all started with a tweet: When TV5 AniMEGA referred to our subject in one of their tweets, I knew I had to ask questions. Hi everyone! While I’m away from the keyboard at the moment, let me tell you about this project called @fildub, which has gradually made a quaint community on Twitter — and eventually, it got noticed by a major TV network’s anime block (let’s just say that the ones who handle the block’s social media handles are very cool because they know what’s up in the anime-viewing community and how to approach it). ...

I rested my camera over the ropes, and just when the timer counts to zero, the camera fell down, resulting in what might be a piece of art. Then again, art is subjective. The first event of the Philippine Wrestling Revolution that I’ve attended was last year at the iAcademy Auditorium, and it was a blast. I kept telling myself to go to another PWR event, but this month was the only time I did it again. ...

Before February starts, let me just say “AAAAAAAAAAA” https://giphy.com/gifs/Edhlj3Nf7cUSs ©Fujino Omori-SB Creative Corp./DanMachi Project — Image taken off Giphy Aniplus will air the Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? Special, a 30-minute continuation of the series, this February 14, Tuesday. On their return from defeating the powerful monster in the 18th floor, Bell and his fellow adventurers accidentally uncover a hidden, mystical hot spring. Everyone is enjoying the refreshing water until creatures lurking in the dark come forth and want them gone. ...

#Back2Eating presents a new sushi hangout at the new Ayala Malls the 30th in Meralco Ave., Pasig I capped off the night by crashing in Chad’s (Reimaru Files) company at the new Ayala Malls the 30th in Meralco Avenue, Pasig for some delicious sushi at Genki Sushi. They deliver the food through carts (a la shinkansen), and the staff are there to make sushi, pick up the dishes on the table or assist in billing or what not. ...

I thank myself for remembering that there’s a special exhibit at the SM Megamall ART Center yesterday — and it so happens that it’s an exhibition by a supporter of President Duterte. It’s called “Adventures in Digongland,” featuring artworks not just related to President Duterte, but also to current events. The artworks are bizaare and quirky, but the descriptions posted beside these artworks are funny and witty. ...

The awards that Yuri!!! on Ice won at the Crunchyroll Anime Awards — Best Boy, Best Animation, Most Heartwarming Scene, Best Couple, Best Opening and Best Ending. [Full results on this Crunchyroll Forums post — Photos from Crunchyroll] What I (and hopefully others) think is wrong over this Crunchyroll Anime Awards brouhaha? So is the issue that people are discovering the Anime Awards is a popularity contest, not an objective measure of goodness, so they're mad? ...

If you might have noticed, I’ve been tinkering with 360 photos on Facebook. I’ve just posted my second photo there. There are two things that are important in making these photos: The size of the photo, and The metadata. Luckily, Facebook has very helpful resources on how to make ones from your Photoshop or GIMP. Best of all, it’s very easy — so easy that even meme pages can create their own set. ...

Once again, Happy New Year! I have rarely written longer stuff nowadays, so on this free time that I have I shall discuss what I am expected to watch this Winter Anime Season. For further reference, you can check out Neregate’s image chart (or see AniChart or LiveChart). Akiba’s Trip the Animation What I always think about this series, aside from being a game adaptation, is that it’s the second season of one of my favorite industry-related titles Sore ga Seiyuu. (I’ve watched this just recently, FYI.) ...

…for the better, that is. The last time I’ve checked my Hummingbird was a few months ago or so through a third-party Android app called Imprint (or its previous name Tenpenchii). I’m surprised that Hummingbird, by far the best in tracking my anime viewing habits, got VIZ Media’s (among others) support and turned into Kitsu.io. https://medium.com/heykitsu/hummingbird-is-dead-long-live-kitsu-bda6ccfbbcce?source=post_page-----17a47dde5080---------------------- So this is what Hummingbird has been talking about for what felt like a year or so, yes? ...
