Yeah, this blog has been dead for a while, I know that.  Not to sound like  broken record but real-life does take away a lot of free time and that unfortunately is one of the main reasons why this blog had died down.  Also, motivations change and other problems arise we couldn’t take care of, [...]

(Skip if you’ve already read the first paragraph of one of the other ones) So the summer of 2009 has come to an end last week on Tuesday.  Well, what that brings is also the end to all of the summer seasons of anime that I have been watching.  I’m not going to lie, I [...]

A killer episode of ASOT this week, it is pumped with 2 hours of CLASSICS!  The special occasion? The release of “A State Of Trance Classics Volume 4″.  This is an ASOT you don’t want to miss!

Lately, Jake and I have been uber busy, not having as much time to post.  Therefore, we are going to need some people to help write for us.  If you’re interested in such a position, please leave a comment or email us at webmaster@chenzen.org Guest writers are even good too!

Today’s ASOT is celebrating Armin’s next installment of Universal Religion ‘Chapter 4′.  Recorded on August 11th in Amnesia in Ibiza.  Expect to hear relatively new tunes! Enjoy.

Back with a new ASOT this week, I however missed it, so let me know how this episode was!

So, if you’re from the Touhou community, today was Cirno Day!  I assume that if you know what Cirno Day is, you already know why.  Here is a brief explanation for those of you who don’t know though!

Haha, the other day Danny linked me to a user movie on GameTrailers.  Needless to say, I enjoyed it enough to share it with the rest of the world (if you haven’t already seen it).  It’s called the ‘Anime Boob Jiggle Montage.’ 

Here is yesterday’s ASOT for download, sorry for the slight delay was busy last night. Tracklisting and Download below!

So the manga series, To-Love-Ru (also pronounced, Trouble), has come to a close recently.  As it so happened, I was reading this series pretty faithfully, so I finished reading it soon after the last chapter was scanlated and released.  Now the big question though, why? 

Pretty awesome episode today, it started off pretty epic with beautiful tracks.  Seems like old school style trance is on the rise.  Most of the first hour was gold, however second hour Armin started to lose me.  Anyways enjoy this one people.

So a little while ago I wrote my impressions of Canaan, an anime season that is currently ongoing.  Well it seems that Good Smile Company is currently making a Canaan figurine that is now available for pre-order.

So the guys over at Kotaku just confirmed that this $300 price cut isn’t all what it seems right now.  So what is it really?  Well Kotaku found a nice Japanese article that showed what you’d actually be spending on the new little piece of hardware.

As a new blog that started just last week by Jacob and I, we are finding out exactly how hard it is to keep the site filled with content while keeping up with our busy lives (school and work).  We have managed to secure some writers from friends, however they have not contributed much as [...]

So another series that I have been watching this summer season goes by the name of “Canaan.”  The plot of Canaan isn’t the most original, but it’s a pretty good “girls with guns” take.  There’s action and some kind of plot (which I haven’t quite figure out yet, but I’m working on it).  The first [...]

So we’ve been experiencing almost 12 hours of downtime since we last saw many of you, if you’re actually still with us.  First, our webhost was having trouble their SQL servers last night, which prompted us to just wait for it to fix and come back up.  Then, this morning – after confirming that the [...]

Armin is back with ASOT 417, this episode was rather amazing.  Includes a lot of Balearic tunes and lots of pumping tech trance.  Some people said that a lot of the tunes were the same from 416 but nonetheless they are great tracks Full download and tracklisting available.

So I realize I just posted about Bakemonogatari, but the ending single disc came out today.  That means I had to grab it, listen to it, and post about it.  I think I mentioned this in my previous [Bakemonogatari] post, but the person who composed this is Ryo from [supercell] who features the singer Nagi [...]

So as always, I’ve been watching a ton of anime, but this particular one has perked my interest quite a bit.  Bakemonogatari, which is a play on the words ‘bakemono’ which means ‘monster’ and ‘monogatari’ which means ‘story’ is based off a bunch of light novels by Nishio Ishin.  So essentially ‘Bakemonogatari’ means Monstory or [...]

For those of you that don’t know, I run my own trance music podcast on iTunes.  I do weekly 1 hour sets of the latest in trance and progressive house music.  From time to time I will do special megamixes and events.
