Anime is bad for me, watching Gundam 00 24 when I should've been working… · 24 March 2008
It’s quite fitting, actually, that my first post since moving in is Gundam 00-centric, I just having built an Exia model and all, despite how tragically I messed up. I’m a beginner, cut me some slack, I was just happy nipping the little pieces of the runners and having them snap together. It’s three in […]
Baseball, Greek goddesses and Valentine's, among other things… · 17 February 2008
I’ve been sitting around trying to figure out a good way to talk about Ookiku Furikabutte for a while, but I can’t. Nothing I say seems to be right and the more I write the more dissatisfied I become with my words. So, going to back to my second grade English class, keepin’ it simple: […]
Speed Grapher – The End · 30 January 2008
Speed Grapher’s been on my To Watch List for ages, sitting in the dark recesses of my external hard drive, waiting. When I pulled it out last night and decided, with intense determination, to plow through all twenty something episodes of the GONZO production, I really wasn’t sure what I was in for. Reading blurbs […]
Everything, and I mean everything… · 29 January 2008
Warning: Long Post Ahead Behold! My long awaited return to blogging! I kid. Anyway… I finally got around to watching Mononoke, which, I have to say was an exceptionally brilliant piece of art, not just anime, but art. When you have a show like Mononoke floating in the same patch of ocean as ef, the […]
Pumpkin Scissors – The End · 25 December 2007
I finally got around to finishing Pumpkin Scissors. I was fairly impressed with how the series turned out, especially because even the slightest mention of Gonzo has me shuddering, see Last Exile. The plot itself was reason enough for me to watch the show. Anti-tank troopers? Tanks that amusingly resemble German Panzers? Guns that amusingly […]
Gundam 00 – Episode 09 (Boy, am I late to this party…) · 11 December 2007
I just realized this is my first actual post completely dedicated to G00. Somehow I skipped episode seven, but it doesn’t look like I missed anything of grave importance so I hopped on over to episodes eight and nine. After the first few episodes, I wrote G00 off as another shiny, flashy piece of mecha […]
The arrogance of yours truly: Why I'm late to the ef – a tale of memories party · 24 November 2007
I watched ef. Shocker, ain’t it? It was one the series I wrote off immediately. I can’t stress how quickly I dismissed ef upon initial examination, really, it was a faster than light decision, I broke the laws of physics on that one. And, here I am. I watched the first seven episodes about half […]
Baccano!- Episode 13 (oh, God…!!) · 24 November 2007
It’s over, it’s over, it’s over!! It was perfect, perfect, like a good ending should be. I’m not really making sense. But everything, all the things I wanted to happen and all the things that needed to happen. Claire and Chane are getting married, everyone’s immortal, Jacuzzi kicked that flamethrower guy’s ass, Firo and Ennis […]
Dude, where's my last Baccano! episode? · 23 November 2007
ARGH! Even the Italian fansubbers are done subbing Baccano!…!!! So, where the hell is the English fansub? Why does Ayu take three million and two years to sub an episode!? Just one last episode, one, one, one…one…. Before this post deteriorates even further into an incoherent rant, let’s actually talk about Baccano! It’s easier said […]
Woah! We're halfway there! Woah! Livin' on a prayer! · 23 November 2007
This post is brought to you by The ABC (Roxas, Mike, Kaura, CCYoshi, Martin,Hige, J.Valdez, Owen S), and no, we’re not American Born Chinese. If I learned anything from the new fall season, it’s embracing mediocrity. And, I mean it in a good way. Who said mediocrity was a bad thing? I wrote a post […]
