| 5:32am | K-ON random watch |  | | | I watched a random piece of K-ON due to some circumstances. That thing seriously overdoses on the sweet. I’m not even sure anymore that I can handle it. You know, melted sugar can burn. |
| 5:24am | Galaxy Angel A fails | | | | It’s not like I was a big fan of the original Galaxy Angel, but somehow I managed to pick an idea that Galaxy Angel A was improved over it. After renting a DVD, I suspect that I confused it with Nanoha and Nanoha As. The comedy seemed flat, uninteresting. The disc was barely playable; not scratched,... | | |
| 5:10pm | TJ Han on GA:GADC | | | | On RIUVA: The similarities are striking, with GA also being adapted from that kind of manga and featuring a group of girls doing their hobby. But unlike K-ON, which was a bit mundane, dull and unfunny, GA is not only educationally informative, it is also very witty and well-written gag-moe style. In... | | |
| 10:43pm | Aroduc on the movement of staff | | | | On #animeblogger a few minutes ago (links mine): some of the “camera” work is nice in mahoraba like we get a first person view from shiratori and pink=haired one signals with her hands to focus more on her and the view shifts accordingly don’t see that much in animu Guess what... |
| 8:26pm | SDB on J.C.Staff | | | | Spot the glaring omission in the list of Candidates for License: UPDATE: Why isn’t anyone talking to J.C. Staff? Think of all the wonderful shows they’ve produced which no one has licensed for R1? MahorabaPotemayoNodame CantabileHayate And in the second tier: Sky GirlsTo Aru Majutsu no Index... | | |
| 5:12pm | Kurogane on Sorakake | | | | The final report may be heavily spoiling, so I wasn’t paying close attention, but at heast he finished the show, and that counts for something. |
| 5:26am | Apropos Hatsukoi | | | | I noted a few other posts aside from Bluemist’s. Evirus writes: “The best show of Spring 2009 is Hatsukoi Limited. A mostly wistful look at first love, Hatsukoi Limited is a textbook example of how J.C. Staff can succeed wildly when it plays to its strengths.” Girls seems to like it... |
| 5:04am | Suguru on Taishou Yakyuu Musume 01 | | | | The write-up at Dame-Dame didn’t say much for me despite its considerable length and detail. The biggest question is, are J.C.Staff going to put their second-string team on Taishou Yakyuu Musume, like they did with Index (Toradora ran together with it and claimed the top talent)? This season,... | | |
| 4:46am | Aroduc on Bakemonogatari 01 | | | | I glanced across his report, and Bakemonogatari appears exactly as expected: a hotly anticipated Shinbo’s production after the stop-gap show of Arashi. It seems a bit to violent for my taste though, I’m not sure I’m going to follow. This blog is in a danger of turning into “Aro-note”... | | |
| 10:57pm | Aroduc on Fight Ippatsu Juuden-chan 02 | | | | He’s sticking with it for another week, but there are reservations: I’m really liking the stories that this show is trying to tell, and Plug got some great development this week that nicely offsets her from the supergirl Aresta without making them antagonistic to each other, but the fanservice... | | |
| 11:40pm | Punie-chan fails | | | | Take Dokuro-chan, replace the sex with more violence, add jokes from the kind Sunred made: that is the recipy for Punie-chan (Dai Mahou Touge). Jokes, actually, were ok to great — in particular I remember the suiciding potato man — but I started skipping the rest before the first episode... | | |
| 3:57am | Natsu no Arashi season 2 | | | | Via John come the news of Arashi 2. I’m going to go on a limb and declare that I’m not watching any more of Jin Kobayashi’s artistic bankrupcy and Akayuki Shinbo’s attempts to paper it over. |
| 2:19am | Bluemist on Hatsukoi | | | | We knew that with Hatsukoi Limited J.C.Staff basically produced a better Kimikiss (which itself received all sorts of accolades back in the day), but there’s more: [J.C.Staff] have modified an otherwise normal manga into a highly coherent piece, mixing up multiple storylines to make it less confusing,... | | |
| 1:08am | Arashi ends | | | | Thanks to the wonders of broadcast order, today’s episode (13) was actually the first episode. But in reality it was a pale imitation of the first broadcast episode (01), which it ostensibly precedes. The distance from great to mediocore is only one wrong step. In my judgement, despite all the... |
| 3:01am | Album covers in Arashi | | | | It wasn’t only the movies, or anime, far from it. Today Astronerdboy posted a reference chart for the album covers. As we can see, not all covers are known, and the chart is sure to expand soon. Next time, please refer the 2ch.net thread, thanks. P.S. All of Jun’s covers are really cut... |
