In case you missed it [*snicker*]:
Anime Expo, Long Beach, CA. Today through Monday.
We here at the ’snob spend all of our money on beer and comics (and whatever is left over goes to anime, and more beer, and more comics, and then to trifling things like rent and food) so unfortunately there isn’t a travel […]

This being my day off of work this week, and having a stack to review (manga and otherwise) that is literally taller than I am at this point, I fully intended to have a post done by noon today. But then I fell into an evil trap known as Chris’s Invincible Super Blog and have […]

I’ve been doing the weekly lists for about five months now, and usually it’s a sleep-walk: somewhere between 15 and 25 titles. I can almost type them up during my lunch break at work. (In fact, I’ve done exactly that at least twice when I happened to be scheduled in the store on a Sunday […]

Since there really is a lot of stuff coming out this week (see my note in the Manga post on why) I decided to break out the non-manga items for a separate entry.
This may be an exercise worth doing more than once. We’ll see what the releases look like a month from now in the […]

Edit 22 June, 4pm: be sure to check the comments on this post, for a response and some clarifications offered by a Newtype representative.

I suffer from occasional bouts of insomnia (like, oh, say, tonight) but when I’m feeling productive (rather than prickly about not being able to sleep and all that) I can occasionally get […]

(with a margin of error +/- one week)
Bob is spending his June participating in Script Frenzy, or at least that’s his most recent excuse for slacking off on Comicsnob, but hey– more power to him. And Happy Birthday. I think.
(we’re guys, we don’t talk about stuff like this… I’m just going with something I half […]

Another short list, manga-wise, so I checked for some other comic releases to pad the entry:

Matt’s Capsule Manga Reviews, Edition 5:
Inubaka: Crazy for Dogs, vol. 3, Disney’s Kilala Princess, vol. 2, 50 Things We Love About Japan
I don’t post nearly enough reviews. Let’s make use of the short form and knock out reviews for a couple of sequels, and a little trifle (as in, a sweet small dessert) that […]

Technically this is a review of the just the novels, since they are the most recent (American) releases in this franchise, but I have the manga and anime on hand so they’re getting dragged into this, too.
Seikai Trilogy: Crest of the Stars

Volume one: Princess of the Empire
Volume two: A Modest War
Volume three: […]

Let me make a note on CineManga[sic]. I Hate the stuff. However, this format is uniquely pitched to it’s target market (kids cartoon viewers, almost all of whom are kids) in that it looks just like the TV show! woot! (I don’t think kids actually say woot — though I did hear a six-year old […]

[My apologies for the delay. A friendly neighborhood flu bug decided that I really needed to sleep 18 hours, on both Friday and Saturday — since it managed to convice my immune system to go along, I didn’t have much choice in the matter.]
While the previous column fragment (part one) was just a re-hash of […]

In a recent interview which everyone and their kid brother have blogged about by now, ADV’s John Ledford (Co-founder and CEO) spoke with Anime News Network’s Christoper Macdonald about how they wouldn’t publish any manga in 2006 even if by doing so it would have saved the lives of a box full of cute puppies […]

The first of three complete series that I have queued up for this weeks reviews. The other two are a little different, in that I’m looking at 6 books apiece for each series (and there’s another twist) but you’ll see that in the reviews when I post them.
Zombie Powder, 4 volumes, complete.

Published by: Viz […]

[edit 4 June: a few titles were added late this afternoon — as usual, the ones on my list that are *marked — after checking the Diamond shipping list and verifying availability at online shopping sites; I’m sure these may also come up on later lists as we approach an ‘official’ release date. eh, I […]

Why the delays in new manga reviews? Well, I’ve got 4 other stacks that look a lot like this one–or worse–so I was a bit hesitant to tackle any one of them. Reviewing multiple volumes is a bit much to think about, particularly after a nine hour shift at work. (I’ve also a set of […]
