Weeaboo Wednesday: Learning The Ways of Super Robot Wars

Though there is many different genres of anime, the one I’ve always been most attracted to has been mecha.

The duo that makes up Daft Punk decided a few years ago that they didn’t want to present a human face to their audiences when they play live shows, so they started donning masks whenever they performed.

Hey, There Aren’t Any Robots in This! #3

Morning Cup o’ Music

> Well, continuing the trend of Flight of the Conchords songs for this week. I’m going to share with you one of the most awesome songs they’ve ever performed and made a music video of.
