It is very likely that this will be the only Gundam picture I ever post on the site.
Often times you’ll see fans trying to recreate a certain scene from an anime, but it’s humorous to think that the art designers are trying to recreate a certain scene from the real world!
Curious what I mean? Read more to find out!

What was in the package? Read more to find out!

This article, written by Hashi of Hashihime, is one of the many great articles they’ve written. I looked for a contact link, but couldn’t find one. Hashi, if somehow you find this and want me to remove it, please let me know!

Sigh. Here we go again.
A hilarious new comedy is being trashed by people who don’t seem to get the humor of the absurd.

Mega Man II, why is it the most memorable? Is it the characters or stages? No. This time, it’s all about the music.
This is an abnormally video-heavy post, so I’m going to ahead and move this after the jump,

If you had asked me three months ago if I’d enjoy a series about a group of kids in kindergarten and a desperate-for-love teacher, well…I’d probably have said yes. Many people were suspicious about this series though, especially due to the fact it comes from Gainax (of Evangelion, Gurren Lagann, and FLCL fame) and is nothing like any of their past works. At least that’s what we thought.

No fancy images this time, we’re getting right to the content! 2009 is quickly coming to an end so thus, lists must be made! But here at BasementOtaku we thought we’d do something a little different…
Introducing, the “BasementOtaku’s Best of 2009 Collection”

Compiling the staff’s selections of best openings, endings, and insert songs from 2009 anime, the collection is very easy to find…if you know where to look! We do hope you like it, and please leave any suggestions for future projects in the comments! For a complete track listing, hit the jump!

If you’re seeing this post, you can now see our brand new layout! This is not the final version, but as the site needed a facelift, the one year anniversary of the site felt like a good reason to go through with it! A few things you can look forward to now:
- More posts! I’ve been greatly neglecting the site due to personal issues, but the site will now get a bit more active, hopefully to a normal rate soon.
- Brand New Features! I’m hoping to get a few new writers soon (Know someone who might be interested? Let me know in the comments!)
- More site changes! Thanks to Kevinoid and Xaquseg for their help with the site layout and backend changes, without you guys I would still be lost!
Please continue to use the site!
