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... | | |
| 6:16pm | Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto: Natsu no Sora- 05 |  | | | “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... | | |
| 9:08pm | Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto: Natsu no Sora- 04 |  | | | 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... | | |
| 8:31pm | [Code Geass R2 episode 25] Lelouch is still alive |  | | | 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... | | |
| 1:24pm | Music Please! Piano edition addendum |  | | | FMA, OP1, I forgot to include this masterpiece in my previous post. This was the piano breakdown of anime musicians.

| 4:02am | Music please! Anime music re-interpreted by various Pianists: |  | | | 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.

| 1:57am | [Code Geass R2 episode 24] In the end, Lelouch will be proven right. |  | | | 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... | | |
| 11:19pm | Hiragana, philosophy and posting. |  | | | By all accounts, this place has cooled down since September. As you might have guessed, it was the back-to-school period for me.

| 10:21pm | [Code Geass R2 episode 23] Bizarre developments. |  | | | 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... | | |

| 11:51pm | Code Geass R2 22 … and this episode brings us back to shitville. |  | | | In this episode 22, we get to see how the final developments of Code Geass R2 will play out.
