| 7:10am | Early impressions of Ergo Proxy | | | | As a means of grasping the story of Ergo Proxy, I decided to hold off on watching the first four episodes and marathoned my way through them earlier today; in terms of understanding the plot, I can't say this approach ended up benefiting me. Ergo Proxy has a very fractured narrative flow, there... | | |
| 4:37am | Yokohama Shopping Trip - 2 | | | | Despite clearly being the better of the original two Yokohama Shopping Trip OVAs, episode two serves up an unsettling mood of desolation and loneliness. During a five minute period in which Alpha simply brews a cup of coffee, there is no music, no dialogue, only the sounds of a creeky old house to |
| 7:28am | Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou (Yokohama Shopping Trip) - 1 | | | | My fascination with the weird, coupled with an obtuse interest in searching out the obscure has led me down the path of downloading the kind of anime people forgot about many moons ago- and so here I am to introduce you to ; talked up a wandering traveller anime in the spirit of say (), I must |
| 6:51am | Mushishi - 20 | | | | Looking back on Mushishi, I suspect that this episode (episode 20) will rank as one of my favourites. Every episode has had that unique air of mystisism; a beautiful sense of magic that I have come to love, but still, rarely have a felt so attached to the characters as I did in this episode.It | | |
| 7:12am | Bateszi's one month birthday | | | | This past weekend marked one month birthday and a good month it has been too; I've been averaging around 3 posts per week and while this is by no means a stellar performance, I suppose consistency is more important than blowing hot and cold. Indeed, if there is one thing that I've learnt | | |
| 8:05am | Mushishi - 19 | | | | Despite displaying none of the euphoric highs and gut wrenching lows of previous episodes, Mushishi 19 was an uplifting way to while away 23 minutes. The concept here is really quite profound- consider that without someone to love you, you disappear. Fuki, the lead character of this story, gets | | |
| 8:22am | One Piece - My Love Lorn Introduction | | | | When it comes to swash-buckling fun, the winky smiley face of stands proud. It took me a while to catch onto this show- I only started watching in but spurred on by what has to be the I've come across in a mainstream anime series, I found myself in love with the adventures of Luffy and the |
| 8:00am | Mushishi - 18 | | | | This episode is imediately notable for a distinct change of direction. Mushishi usually begins with Ginko wandering about beautiful landscapes, finding his next job and meeting new people, here the first 13 minutes are told as a flashback, in which tragedy inevitably occurs. The latter half of the | | |
| 9:02am | Mushishi - 17 | | | | Again dealing with the pain felt at the loss of a loved one, episode 17 at least concludes with a ray of hope after 20-odd minutes of forecasted gloom. I'm not saying it's bad that Mushishi sometimes portrays hopeless situations, it's just nice when someone's dreams are fulfilled... | | |
