Toradora!- 01
Japanophile Isle
  Palmtop tiger FTW! So Toradora has finally started. Around who is this show built?Ryuuji Takasu He’s a complete neat freak and generally a calm, gentle boy who’s always mistaken for a troublemaker because of his wild eyes. It reminded me of Angel Densetsu’s Seiichirou (if you haven’t...

Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto: Natsu no Sora- 05
Japanophile Isle
  “Magic isn’t perfect” Another episode and again two new cases. This time though things didn’t go as smoothly as before. First was a request of old lady to reconstruct an object that was a memento after her loved one who died in WWII. It was pretty sweet story. Old lady didn’t...

Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto: Natsu no Sora- 04
Japanophile Isle
  Nostalgic taste. Midorikawa owns this episode We’ve learned a bit about his past and how he found out he was a mage. Being a son of a a man who was a failure at magic sure as hell doesn’t boost the poor guy’s confidence. Especialy since his mother turned out to be a witch (not of...

[Code Geass R2 episode 25] Lelouch is still alive
Japanophile Isle
  I’ll make this quick, I’ve got a dissertation to hand in tomorrow morning and I didn’t even start yet. The gist: 25 wasn’t bad but wasn’t brilliant. It was like the ending of MGS3 but executed horribly. The redemption: A bit of cleverness possibly? Michael from anime|otaku...

Music Please! Piano edition addendum
Japanophile Isle
  FMA, OP1, I forgot to include this masterpiece in my previous post. This was the piano breakdown of anime musicians. In the near future, I’ll be bringing orchestral and guitar arrangements. © jp_zer0 for Japanophile Isle, 2008. |Permalink |Be the first to comment! |Add todel.icio.us Post tags:...

Music please! Anime music re-interpreted by various Pianists:
Japanophile Isle
  I prefer the artistic value of re-interpreting the music of anime OPs/EDs rather than imaging songs à la AMV. I thus took it upon myself to bring you the piano part of my humble collection. Hope you enjoy this auditory orgasm. From top to bottom:Brothers (Fullmetal Alchemist)Zetsubou Sensei MedleyZetsubou...

Japanese politics in the news, Taro Aso likely to be the new Prime Minister of Japan.
Japanophile Isle
  Earlier this week, Taro Aso has been making waves within the otaku circles. The reason for that is simple, and as you may already know, Mr. Aso is a self-proclaimed Manga fanatic. I’m writing a piece on Taro Aso because I want to cast some nuance on his character. Many a websites have cast an...

[Code Geass R2 episode 24] In the end, Lelouch will be proven right.
Japanophile Isle
 aaaaa! C.C. !!!  NOOO! Oh, that’s right, my sympathy for Lelouch and his character has been renewed. Mostly, this has to do with his “new” outfit. He can be taken seriously again. That full dress was just simply ostentatious. Yes, a lot of things went down this episode. Some things...

Hiragana, philosophy and posting.
Japanophile Isle
  By all accounts, this place has cooled down since September. As you might have guessed, it was the back-to-school period for me. I’ve taken a prolonged break from education this past year but I’m back at full speed in my academical pursuits. With these new elements populating my “Schedule”...

[Code Geass R2 episode 23] Bizarre developments.
Japanophile Isle
  Looking at this map, one could make the case that not much has changed in Code Geass R2 lately. Lelouch and Schneizel switched camps and that’s about it. Isn’t that bizarre? This episode was odd. Mainly because of Schneizel’s timing. Let’s a take a few lines to see how good...

Code Geass R2 22 … and this episode brings us back to shitville.
Japanophile Isle
  In this episode 22, we get to see how the final developments of Code Geass R2 will play out. As you might have noticed, I thought the developments in question were very much south of elegantly presented. The horror! How did we manage to start talking about conflict of classes and diplomatic relationships,...
