| 3:57pm | Nominations, Criticism, and The ABA: Thank You For Blogging! |  | | | In view of the nice things that well-meaning people have said and the not so nice things that other, more tragically misunderstood people have said, I guess now would be a better time than any to clear the air on the inaugural Anime Blog Awards, of which I happen to be part of the organising committee.... | | |
| 7:01am | Silencing the Sideliners, Sycophants, and Surrogates |  | | | Salutations! Someone says, saturnine’s submerged in subterfuge, surreptitiously silent. Stuff that! You sing, “He’s shot down, shown out, that sacrilegious simpleton! Sic him!” Simple simians! Short on sight, your supplementary smarm spent, I spit on your simpering similes! Separate... | | |
| 9:46am | Nagisa’s Arc - The Fifth Commandment (With apologies to the Catholics) |  | | | After the incredibly moving episode 22 and the subsequently adorable and hilarious episode 23, several things dawned on me, in a manner that those subject to particularly amazing anime are wont to do: That I take my parents for granted, and their sacrifices lightly. That more than anything else, they... | | |
| 12:36pm | kimikiss pure truth: All you need is love (and parallels) |  | | | So my predictions in my previous post were wrong. I’m glad they were, for had I been right, it would’ve meant that kimikiss would have been unpredictably predictable, and we all know how well that would have went down. The masses need their closure, even if the more discerning among us can... | | |
| 3:55pm | A Kiss and A Tear: I Can’t Believe It’s Not Harem! (Part 1) |  | | | The number of posts don’t seem to be letting up any time soon. Ditto this. While I’m officially semi-tired of all the true tears discussion that’s been going on as of late, I still consider it to be awesome even if I’m kind burnt out from people talking about it — you know... | | |
| 3:49pm | Attaining Allusions of Grandeur |  | | | some might consider not getting this to be a good thing, but I beg to differ While I was cropping, rotating, and resizing headers for the new layout I thought to myself, “How can I make this interesting?” CCY had the idea of incorporating the relevant taglines into his rotating headers,... | | |
| 3:55pm | March Comes in Like a Rigardo |  | | | The problem with anime references or puns is that they usually fall apart quite miserably when you attempt to throw two or more of them together. It’s the sheer futility of making a Yoko Kanno reference in a Nanoha post title (a Venn diagram would easily illustrate the naivete behind this), or... | | |
| 10:58am | Kyou’s/Tomoyo’s Arc - Last regrets are over |  | | | The only problem I had with episode 18 was how it reminded me that there would be no Kyou End. A nail in the coffin for the silent fan in me, whom, like many others, got captivated along the way, whether by means of gym storeroom escapades, a potent combination of character design and voice acting,... | | |
| 3:53pm | What’s up people |  | | | Just an announcement about my new subdomain: it’s finalised. For those of you who are into that sort of thing, you can now update Cruel Angel Theses on your blogroll to omaemo.dasaku.net. Don’t worry about the RSS feed, since FeedBurner is convenient like that. like ikimashou.net, gone but... |
