| 5:00am | Kino’s Journey: The Myth-like Beautiful World |  | | | As a change of pace (depending on your opinion of course), and as something I remembered from reading and commenting here, I’m posting an essay that I wrote two years ago on Kino’s Journey in my Junior year of college. It was from a course on anime (of course lol) and new media, and I... | | |
| 5:00am | Impressions on a Year 2007: Happy Action Fun Time |  | | | Written by TheBigN This installment contains SPOILERS. I repeat, SPOILERS, so read at your own risk. This is also hella long, so again, read at your own risk. :3 With that being said, these are the episodes or moments in series this year that made an impact on me; the “definable” stuff. ... | | |
| 5:00am | Impressions on a Year 2007: Awesome Soundtracks I Haven’t Covered Yet |  | | | Written by TheBigN By now, you should know what my standards of “awesome” are, but let’s move on, shall we? When I’m talking about a soundtrack, I think about all of the music that a show entails, including the OP/ED. So what was the point of having all of those tracks standalone... |
| 5:00am | Impressions on a Year 2007: “Awesome” Phrases |  | | | Written by TheBigN For a change of pace, today the focus is on statements I heard over the year that worked for me. A great way to show my limitations and weaknesses here, so feel free to add lines that you think I should have added. |
| 5:00am | Impressions on a Year 2007: Awesome OPs and EDs |  | | | Written by TheBigN Self-explanatory really, though my writing might not be. Whether because of the song, the visuals, or both, these intros and outros worked for me this year. Using youtube, I tried to get all raw versions, but some only had a subbed version. But that shouldn’t be too important,... |
| 10:49pm | Mokke, and What’s Inside of Us |  | | | Written by TheBigN I’m surprised at the relative lack of coverage that Mokke’s getting from people here in the blogosphere, as I think it’s a pretty solid show. After that first hiccup of an episode which apparently tried to show off Mizuki’s (the possessee) and Shizuru’s... | | |
| 2:03pm | I Am BigN, or Random Ramblings: 2nd Edition |  | | | Written by TheBigN Alright everyone! Me being lazy to think up a reasonable (or so I’d like to think) topic + running on three hours of sleep after an essay (”I’m tired”, I said, “You always look tired”, she said) + studying for the final exam before winter break... |
| 5:16am | Hellsing and the Horror |  | | | By Nomad(Marlin Brando makes the least believable malaria victim ever)Otto I’m aware that this is an anime blog, rather than a “crap Nomad Likes” blog, if it were, it would have a lot more about politics, historical military shaz, and, of course, endless waves of board and strategy... |
| 5:51am | She Works Hard For The Boxset… |  | | | Written by TheBigN In yet another example of parallel of something in anime that reminds me of my life, memories of my part-time job surfaced watching Tama-chan go for broke during her first one in episode 8 of Bamboo Blade. In undergrad, I worked part-time as a computer lab operator for the main... | | |
| 12:47pm | Music Impressions on Sketchbook ~full color’s~ sound sketch book |  | | | Written by TheBigN I’m a peculiar person with peculiar tastes. So it shouldn’t be a surprise to you if I consider the Sketchbook ~full color’s~ OST, sound sketch book, to be one of my top 3 favorite albums of the year (the best still goes to TTGL, but I might expound on that another... | | |
| 6:30am | Thankful for Anime, 2007 |  | | | Written by TheBigN Granted, this will be bit earlier than usual for some, but why not get that head start in anyways? |
| 2:00am | What a Captivating ef Up We Have Here |  | | | More random ef fun in other places. Written by TheBigN I don’t really know what to label shows like ef ~ a tale of memories~ as, but I do know that I don’t usually watch series like it: “Guy meets girl” works based on visual novels set in high school (usually) or some realistic... | | |
| 2:41am | Vintage Cheese in Fall 2007 |  | | | Written by TheBigN I think I might be getting close to my fill of the dairy product for this year from these fall shows. And no, I’m not thinking about Moyashimon here (see what I did there?). So far, three shows that I’m watching have worked the idea in different ways. | | |
