| 4:16pm | M19+20 | | | | Had been waiting for the Kara no Kyoukai OSTs to appear on Amazon.jp for ages. I might as well have been waiting for Godot. Only recently slowpoke.jpg realized, via canta per me, that the OSTs were only available with the DVDs. I’ve bought Limited Edition DVDs before but this is the first time... |
| 5:34am | HATED BY HINAGIKU | | | | It’s not without a certain amount of irony that the comment for a HiNA torrent reads If you’re her fans and not getting it YOU WILL BE HATED BY HINAGIKU. Wouldn’t one be hated more if I was ‘getting’ HiNA via BitTorrent, liked it a lot but did not buy the CD rather... |
| 1:54am | The Kakoii of Misaka Mikoto | | | | Dav also highlighted the above scene, from Vol.2 Ch 13, in her discussion of the challenges and expectations of the forthcoming Railgun anime. It shows why Mikoto is full of love and win and Oneesama. And we see Kuroko falling head over heels for Biri Biri all over again. 超電磁砲は超かこいい... |
| 4:59am | Minori sees like Yuuko Ishihara | | | | Thus spake Yuuko Ishihara: この世に偶然は無い、 あるのは必然だけよ。 Thus spake Lupus: Dear Seleria, Because I’m such a BADASS LIGHT NOVEL READER, I must reveal the true reason why Taiga was “out on the street just in time for Minorin to see.” It wasn’t entirely co-incidence.... | | |
| 4:24pm | on anime blog anchuluss | | | | Belated response to potential blog mergers: We can’t even agree to merge Hontou ni Taihen desu and hontou ni sou omou? (mainly due to banner incompatibility), much less attempt the Holy Empire of Hontounia’s conquest of THAT Federated Union. Speaking of Code Geass analogies, it seems that... | | |
| 8:31am | Railgun euphoria :: risks of misfire, recoil, meltdown | | | | Like Dav, I am, of course, delighted with the news that we may get our wish for a Railgun anime. If it’s true there’s still always a but - particularly with respect to that old adage: Be careful what you wish for. Kurogane, rightly, sounds a cautionary note: But god. I hope it’s not the... |
| 3:56am | Power games in Midchilda, Playing politics in Lilian | | | | If Subaru was anything like Mami, she would really do well in the senior ranks of the TSAB; you need to be a cunning little raccoon dog ("chibi tanuki" was what Major Nakajima called her after realizing how he’d been manoeuvred by her) to survive there, like Hayate - was what I found... |
| 4:52pm | Hinagiku no Gotoku 2 :: Ep 0 | | | | Wow, Kurogane was actually grumpier than Aroduc! On balance, I’m going with the latter since Voice of the Sky clearly warned viewers of what to expect right at the start. And, of course, I give thanks to Haruhi-sama for my dose of pink-haired, Shizu-sama-voiced Hinagiku goodness even if she should... |
| 10:43am | And all THAT, whatsoever ye shall ask in post, blogging, ye shall receive* | | | | So asked Crusader in his Adoration of Kanako IX (Ep 10): I so want a gif of this scene. Kanako is indeed tall. A passing Zaku fairy of yuri gif animation heard and did thus: And also pleaded thus, please please don’t hotlink it. If you want to use it, please download it and upload the animated gif... |
| 10:47am | The Urticaria of Miyamae Kanako | | | | Between Kabitzin’s current tagline ‘Tentacles Are Hypoallergenic’ and rewatching Mariya pecking Kanako on the cheek (BGM was lovely, no?), I’ve been thinking about the issue of Kanako’s hives. Initially I leaned towards the psychosomatic (rather than psychological) explanation... |
| 8:15am | Why does Nanoha serve? | | | | I am delighted to hear the news of forthcoming 25 year old Nanoha. Because it means the possibility of seeing MOAR Nanoha x Fate yuri love love. In a timely note, DKellis posed and explored a fascinating question: Could Nanoha refuse to join the TSAB? Join the TSAB! Travel to exotic, distant worlds,... | | |
| 3:51am | Life on Mars | | | | Thus, in Episode 3, spoke Kanako unto Yumi: Before, I told you a hypothetical story about the two twins who became astronauts and went to Mars, didn’t I? I can’t meet the Yumi-sama I had admired. That person is living on Mars. Yumi-sama, you didn’t betray the image and feelings I... |
| 4:21pm | Even in the omake it’s all about Ami | | | | And she just stole my heart when ToraDora SOS opened straight to her sighing, clicking her tongue and going: も~う! 亜美ちゃんちょうちょ うちょうちょうだるい んだけどう、まじで。 Easily the funniest chara in the omake. All hail Gourmet ni Ami! P.S. I wouldn’t... | | |
| 1:21pm | Even in the omake it’s all about Ami | | | | And she just stole my heart when ToraDora SOS opened straight to her sighing, clicking her tongue and going: も~う! 亜美ちゃんちょうちょ うちょうちょうだるい んだけどう、まじで。 Easily the funniest chara in the omake. All hail Gourmet ni Ami! P.S. I wouldn’t... | | |
| 2:37pm | For me, you see, it’s still all about Ami | | | | As an Ami fan, I heartily second Author’s contention that: there’s no problem for Ami fans if Ami gets a good end, and the good end does not need to involve beating Taiga. I do wonder though - would Ami have even spared Ryuuji a second glance if, at the start, she did not want to "beat... |
