Drastic My Anime Blog

A bunch of ramblings about anime, anime culture and the like with no specific theme to it. Impressions on shows and related concepts abound. I don't do episode summaries, so if I cover a specific episode of a series, expect me to attempt to tie that to something greater than just that episode itself.

Bamboo Blade manga v1
Drastic My Anime Blog
  More proof that "it's all about Tamaki" Volume one of the Bamboo Blade manga arrived in the mail the other day.  Despite sharing this blog-space with TheBigN, I was a late-comer to Bamboo Blade, but I’m intent on making up for lost time. Kendo comes to life on the still page It...

Shangri-la 8: Rube Goldberg, not MacGuyver
Drastic My Anime Blog
  All the pieces are there, assembled by thumbs. Update, one week later: This post starts out negative, as that was my first reaction to the episode.  Then as I thought about it more and more (as I wrote this post) I began to appreciate how the episode had been put together.  The end result was a complete...

Generic New Haruhi Post #286
Drastic My Anime Blog
  By TheBigN (sorry nekosasu. )Okay, I’ll admit that even more new The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi is nice to see. The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi-chan was more than enough for me, and I’ll definitely be missing those and the Nyoro~n Churuya-san short episodes, but now that there apparently...

Eden of the East 6: Laughing Akira

  I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes How scary is it that all I had to do was type “I tho” into the browser search-box, and its first suggestion was the quote I was looking for?

Shangri-la 6: datakake shoujo
Drastic My Anime Blog
  The sky above Kuwait was the color of television tuned to a dead channel Hanners is in despair while PSGels likes what’s happening. I like it, too, less for the interpersonal drama and more for the political tangle, with Japan a wholly-owned subsidiary of Atlas Corporation, and Ishida Finance...

Impressions on Hyakko: A Class Act Led By A Class Clown
Drastic My Anime Blog
  By TheBigN Sometimes, it takes time for a show to find it’s groove, or for us to find ours when watching the show if we give it that chance.  The first word that came to my mind when watching Hyakko was “off-beat”, or at least “off the beaten path” (which now that I think about it, doesn’t...

Graphite to Newcastle — Shangri-la 4
Drastic My Anime Blog
  Kuniko (from the Shangri-la novel) disapproves of fanboy-science Someday, someone will make science fiction in which economics is the science.  I don’t think this is that day. In episode four Kuniko decides to sell part of Metal Age’s horde of pre-carbon-market graphite to finance an uprising...

Studio 4C’s “Junk Town”
Drastic My Anime Blog
  The other day I came across a 15-minute film, Junk Town (Japanese title: Garakuta no machi), from Studio 4C. It’s so obscure, it doesn’t seem to have an animenewsnetwork encyclopedia entry, yet.  It’s directed by Nobutaka Ito (wo worked on Kemonozume, Kimagure Robot, and was animation...

A wolf loves pork — further excursions in “anime”
Drastic My Anime Blog
  It’s Japanese.  It’s animated.  Anime!  It could use more Horo, perhaps. One of the reasons I love animation (of which anime is one form), it the inventiveness of the creators.  This film is an example of that.Posted in randomness, Uncategorized Tagged: anime in the original sense...

  I found this random K-On! MAD that I’m sure that everyone else has seen already, but I still think it’s neat: It’s funny to see this done from just one episode of the show at that time, but lol creativity I guess. I wish there was more on the animeblogging end regarding the show,...
