A medevial setting, a wolf god,and a merchant.Such a setting is probably indicative of 100% shonen anime(Claymore came to my mind when I first glanced upon the series),but that isn't so.Away from all the fighting with which we associate most shonen anime with,Spice and Wolf concentrates on how business was done in the middle ages.The anime is based on a light novel series series written by Isuna Hasekura.The main characters of the series is the Wolf god Horo and the traveling merchant Lawrence.Lawrence meets Horo while he was passing by a village.Their meeting being set up under the most unusual of circumstances.Horo explains her wish to journey to her motherland in the north after the villagers who earlier worshiped her did not do so anymore.Lawrence is moved by Horo's story and allows her to travel with her so that she can finally travel to the north.The story takes shape from her on.Horo's wit and wisdom is seen throughout the series,and to a certain extent the church's influence and interference in the lives of the common man.The story also focuses on the relationship between the two,though turbulent and cold at first gets milder towards the later episodes of the season.

Spice and Wolf is a wonderful anime to watch.It's a total deviation from the regular anime stuff with which we are quite well versed with.It's a bit hard to even put it in a proper genre.But nevertheless Spice and Wolf is an excellent must anime to watch !!

Kolkata Anime Club(KAC)

The 12th of December saw the Birth of the first official anime club of Kolkata.After nearly a month of haggling with the dates on Facebook,we finally managed to choose a date to have our first meet.Many had decided to attend,but some pulled out later with the Facebook event page showed only 7 people attending!Nevertheless we decided to carry on on hold the meet as scheduled.The meet was held on a lazy sunday afternoon at a well known mall Kolkata i.e South City.I arrived there a good half an hour early and made my way to the food court where the meet was supposed to be held.After a bit of searching ,I found the KAC members seated near the KFC outlet.Our club president Nia(Nyaa~Chan as we fondly call her ^_^),was the first to recognise me and I soon enough I found myself seated among a small and dedicated otakuish group.10 mins later and after the arrival of a few more members  we started off our meet dot on time.."Introductions Please" ,as Nia said,and I was the first one to

Jpopsuki 2.0

There aren't really too many private trackers out there which cater to jpop music,mostly except for Jpopsuki.The private tracker supposedly has more than a 100,000 members,the only problem being the tracker is closed for registrations most of the time,and by most of the time I mean it's barely open at all!!Registrations open once a year only for 3-4 days around the 9-10th of sep.Other than that new users can only sign up through invites...well the problem is that most of the users who have a few invites to share are mostly faggish and extremely annoying!!!There was this guy who pissed me off to such an extent that I seriously felt like running him over with a steam roller...most of the fucktards act like they own a million dollar lottery ticket which just hit the jackpot..well fuck em'..enough of my rant..if anyone ever feels like inviting me then send me an invite at gandharaj@gmail.com...I might even be obliged!

There's a bathroom but I think it's in everyone's interest we don't see that...
