Gundam 00 – "Rebirth begins through destruction" · 24 August 2007
So, unable to finish writing my Planetes ramblings, I googled Gundam 00. Watched a bunch of trailers and teasers on YouTube and it’s looking pretty good. Interesting to note that it’s the only series, so far, in the AD timeline, following the Gregorian calender instead of being labeled After Colony or Universal Century. Three hundred […]
Claymore – Episode 21 · 23 August 2007
Claymore is finally getting pretty good. Actually, Claymore’s always been pretty good, even if the whole thing was about a bunch of skinny, blonde, silver-eyed, big sword wielding, demon slaying girls. Something strangely attractive about the premise and the story and the characters. It also doesn’t hurt that both Easley and Rigald, the only two […]
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann – Episode 21 · 21 August 2007
Elated? Overjoyed? About to throw myself off a very tall building from sheer happiness and excitement? Yes! A thousand times yes! Recently, I’ve lost the will to blog about anything I’ve watched, including the entirety of Planetes and the latest episodes of Baccano!, Darker Than Black and Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, Gurren Lagann has just resurrected […]
Yoko's Rifle · 16 August 2007
This is from my old blog, dated July 1st, 2007, thought I’d move it over because it was amusing. Yoko Get Your Gun We all know the red haired heroine of what is turning out to be my favorite show running right now touts a large sniper rifle everywhere and is a damn fine marksmen […]
Wolf's Rain – The End · 13 August 2007
Wolf’s Rain reminded me a bit of Bebop, which wasn’t surprising looking at the people who worked on both. Though I still prefer the light-hearted and incredibly sentimental nature of Bebop, there’s something altogether different about Wolf’s Rain. It’s a modern day legend, a fairytale of sorts, a gray and bleak world where a new […]
Darker Than Black – Speculations and thoughts with only seven episodes left · 10 August 2007
lacking words to describe this…. I dug that up somewhere on the web and it made me wonder why Pizza Hut isn’t as cool in America as it is overseas. I mean, if American Pizza Hut started endorsing and advertising anime, more specifically Darker Than Back, I’m theirs. I’ll buy their pizza every day for […]
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann – Episode 19 · 7 August 2007
Another screenshot-less post of ramblings…Here goes. Despair, despair is a good word, a very good word to describe everything in general. I don’t know anymore, I’m just sitting here, looking at it and it’s making me feel incredibly depressed. This entire episode felt so hopeless, so futile and in the end when Simon hands over […]
Baccano! – Episode 1 · 6 August 2007
Baccano! is probably the only series I truly looked forward to this summer, though I did step into a couple of unexpected series, Sayonaray Zetsubou Sensei and possibly Zombie Loan. It just so happens it was the show airing last. If feels like I’ve waited ages to watch Baccano! Baccano! apparently means ‘stupid noise’. There […]
Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei – Episode 3 · 1 August 2007
Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei is turning out to be one of my favorite shows. It’s hilarious. I don’t understand it, but it makes me laugh. The Death Note reference had me falling out of my chair. I OD when I take screens for SZS. Usually, I find it a bit tedious to take screens, but like […]
Darker Than Black – Episode 17 · 31 July 2007
VLC hates me and refuses to play correctly the .mkv files, but they’re not hard subbed so it’s easier for the screens. Not really if the thing malfunctions every two seconds. Anyways, I got a couple of screens. The more I watch Darker Than Black, the more I like it. It’s just so good. Gah! […]
