Riuva : Research Institute for Unicultural Visual Arts

Hi all, while I’m the one writing the post, this is actually brought to you courtesy of the RIUVA team.

3 things have happened on this site in the last few weeks. Normally it would be greeted with much fanfare and contests, but due to the hectic nature of school life, we’ve sort of overlooked it. Till now. In any case, the three major events are:

1. The 22nd anniversary of tjhan’s mother excreting him.

2. RIUVA’s 1000th post, the honour of taking it went to LianYL, and deservedly so.

I guess there was no mass email sent out to proclaim the news that I’m the newest member of the Riuva team. Oh please hold your applause… When I got the news I was pretty ecstatic because I thought my scholarly treatise on emoism didn’t nearly receive the attention that the coincidentally timed post, that hardly ever shows up, on otaku’s skewed view of reality by TJ-han garnered. I mean it completely overshadowed my wee little post to the point that one could consider such a coincidence an act of nefarious design wrought with malice. ..LOL ..But I digress..When I got the news that I could now have free reign to share my views on otakuism, anime, and life via rivua I was beyond excited. Until I actually sat down and began thinking about what topic I should tackle for you lifeless, I mean, you anime enthusiast out there, and realized that when I agreed to this I must have been out of my mind.

Below are some news/rumours that I’ve read around Chinese anime sites these few days. I can’t really remember where I read which from so I’ll just leave it unreferenced.

News/Rumours of late:

1. Detective Conan manga will end this year. Rumours say that Dr. Hiroshi Agasa is the mastermind villain behind the criminal organisation that caused Shinichi to turn into a kid. What better way than to keep his test subject closely under watch beside him. Apparently, if you tweak around the doctor’s name, you’ll get a revelation and spoiler of his identity. Oh, and the female agent who took the same drug as Shin will die, or so it seems.
