| 5:23pm | True Tears 07 - Cruel love | | | | It’s going to be a Shin X Hiromi finish and I’m coming from a storyboarding point of view here. Noe and Shin’s getting together at this time for all the wrong reasons tells me their relationship is going to end prematurely. Nonetheless, it is a vital checkpoint in the story as their... | | |
| 2:38pm | The joys of taboo love | | | | You want the truth? YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH! - Colonel Nathan R. Jessep It’s interesting to watch the numerous reactions to Hiromi’s confession in True Tears 06. While many lauded it as excellent dramatic turn of events, upping the emotional ante of the series, there was a small faction of... | | |
| 3:17pm | Uragirimono! Converting to Kyou-ism | | | | Sorry Ryou, but I don’t believe any hotblooded male can resist your sister after ep 17 I love shows that forces me to reassess my love for the bishoujos as the series progresses. SHUFFLE! was one such production where I began as an Asa shipper, moving over to Kaede after her arc but finally settling... | | |
| 5:28pm | Love and hate ~ 10 controversial anime bishoujos | | | | Would you still love her if she has the hots for her brother? Like RL celebrities, many anime bishoujos, especially those tasked with leading roles, garner much love and hate. This post is inspired by Kurogane’s defense entry since I thought of at least another 10 misunderstood bishoujos needing... |
| 8:12am | True Tears 06 - Forbidden love | | | | The only kokuhaku that has more impact than “I love you!” has to be “I’m your sister!”. This revelation finally unravels the mystery of Hiromi’s conflicting signals and Mrs Nakagami’s callous treatment of such a beautiful adopted daughter. When we view Hiromi’s... | | |
| 5:36pm | 20 imoutos you wished you had (Non-siscon version) | | | | Moeliciousness is not vital for great imouto-hood though it’s a good starting point Good familial relations is one of the key attributes I had looked for in a life partner. A kindly sister/filial daughter at home is likely to make a loving wife/mother since family is where one can’t keep... |
| 4:21am | True Tears 05 - Heartaches | | | | Hiromi exemplifies the age-old problem of why men will never fully understand women - cos women are a bundle of contradictions while men try to unravel that armed only with a bundle of contraceptives. No wonder the mountains of carcasses that choke the streets of love! Personally I found it hard trying... | | |
| 5:08pm | [Artbook] Kirakira Reki ~ Mikeou artworks | | | | If Tinker defines moelicious, then Mikeou’s artwork must be the highest embodiment of all that is babelicious. Mikeou’s girls are made the sweetest sugar and hottest spice that you wouldn’t want to see in a RL 16 year old. (Not unless you live in Sweden.) For examples of Mikeou’s... |
| 6:36pm | 20 anime pick-up lines | | | | You may be a stud in real life but if thrown into a foreign anime world, would you still have your mojo? How can you compete with the likes of Makoto Ito? Fear not! Hontouni taihen desu gives 20 sure-fire pick-up lines for 20 different anime worlds. [Ah my goddess] Greek or Roman? I didn’t know... | | |
| 4:55pm | H2O ~ Footprints in the sand 05 - 10 questions | | | | 01) Why does Hayami still bother with school? Was she secretly pining for a reconciliation with Hinata? 02) Will Hinata now move to Hayami’s abandoned trams and set ablaze the imagination of doujin artists? 03) Shouldn’t the townsfolk be burning down Hamaji’s place for the numerous... | | |
| 3:46pm | [Artbook] Cielo - Kozue Amano Illustration works III | | | | While this artbook was published way back in 2006, I only caught glimpse of it at the local Kinokuniya last month. No, it wasn’t there previously which makes me wonder about Kino’s stocking policy. I also found out that many of the more coveted works, for example Tinker’s artbook,... |
| 5:17pm | So you think you know anime BGMs (Part 3) | | | | Anime music has got to be one of the most outstanding aspects of this medium. Its variety/quality far exceeds TV serials (local, American, Hong Kong or Taiwanese) and even rivals movie soundtracks despite the vast differences in resources. As part of Hontouni traditions to pimp anime music, here’s... |
| 2:00pm | True Tears 04 - What women want | | | | I don’t get Hiromi. From her verbose justifications, it’s clear that she’s trying too hard to convince Shin (maybe even herself?) of her supposed crush on Jun. Yet, despite the distance she desires, it’s evident that she also wishes to be chummy with Shin (photo moments and greetings).... | | |
| 3:51pm | H2O ~ Footprints in the sand 04 - More drama, less harem pls | | | | I didn’t care for the uninspired harem hijinks in this ep. Jealous sibling hate for harem leads has been done to death and H20 04 didn’t bring anything new to the table. Although if one takes into account the not-so-common trap factor, it’d be siscon (brocon) we’re taking about.... | | |
| 5:22pm | 10 great series with nerfed endings | | | | Rachel’s post on “anime ending rewrites” got me wondering about the anime endings that I’d love to see refined and boy, I was surprised at the names that came up. Some of them happen to be my all time-favourites. I suppose love for these series compels my seeking for their perfection.... |
