YogurTRY IT! It's good!

So, I went up to London yesterday to have a birthday meal with some of my friends from different parts of my life and see whether they would end up liking each other. Utter success! It was brilliant to see everyone and hang out in London's busy entertainment district.

But before that, I had some spare time to kill. So when I got up to Waterloo, I took the Northern line to Hampstead where I had been looking up frozen yogurt places in London that I hadn't been to up to now. I came across a cool looking one called Yogurtry.


From the visage alone, I knew I was in for something pretty good. So, after a 20 minute tube ride I was eager to try out some frozen treats. The impressive apperance continues inside with a very colourful interior and clear menu options.


In terms of toppings, you could have anything you wanted: fruit, chocolates, sauces and candies - you name it! Not only that, what differentiated Yogurtry from everywhere else is that they offer 8 flavours of yogurt including Natural in Small (100ml), Regular (200ml) and Large (400ml). So I went for the benchmark for me - a Regular Natural flavour with Blueberries.

So, I got it after £3.90 - and it was worthy EVERY penny. It was divine! Some froyo end up being kind of crystally, not that it's a bad thing but this froyo was so utterly creamy. Silky smooth - this rivals Muffinski's in Covent Garden for that. This was worth every penny. If you're in North London and can get near Hampstead - go here! It's a wonderful place to go and the value is good for what it is.

Anifile - Panty & Stocking w/Garterbelt

The city of Daten...IS UNDER ATTACK! The fate of its civilians rest on the skills of a sex-mad bimbo and a sweet-obsessed goth lolita marshalled by a afro-wielding priest straight out of 70s cop shows! Watch as Japan tries to mimic the McCracken formula of animation.

Anifile - Shiki

A girl has a fascination with European castles and a local boy - both parties don't show the same affection. This isn't gonna end well.

October Arrives

Hey everyone.

I apologise for not being more personally active in the blog. However, I do appreciate the comments that I receive and they go into making Anifile better with every episode. One show I'm keen to review is Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt - from the intro alone it seems to be quite a rockin' tune! Whether the actual anime turns out to be the same is another matter though.

The freelance editing work has dried up somewhat but I don't let it get me down as I still have plenty to do which aid towards me gaining more experience. It's interesting to have a dynamic following which can tell me where to improve and what to avoid; it helps tremendously and for that I am really grateful.

However, there was one comment on a recent Facebook entry that worried me...the person considered me creepy. That hurt me somewhat cos I know I may come off as quite brash and overenthusiastic in my reviews, but I wouldn't want to make the show boring or anything so I play up to the camera. I apologise profusely if I creep some of you out. :(

In any case, 2 more episodes are out this weekend including the Protectors of Universe review that I just posted. It'll be a good month also cos it's my 24th birthday on the 15th! I know this may seem a little forward but the other members of TFS and TGWTG have done so so I thought I'd follow suit and post my amazon wish list. ^^; http://www.amazon.co.uk/wishlist/2QSBMWGAXNEYE

Finally, Youmacon is now at the end of month so I am really excited to meet you if you can make it to Detroit on the 28th through 31st.

Merry tidings, my Masakists!

Anifile - Protectors of Universe

As we wait for the fall anime schedule to begin broadcasting, Masako brings a 'classic delight' to our attention. A poorly constructed Korean knockoff mecha movie feebly trying to disguise its bastardisation of the Mazinger franchise. Watch out as Alfred and his minions attack this awkwardly shoddy flick!
