| 2:09am | Why We Love the Characters We Do, and why we do the characters we love | | | | Or at least the first half anyway. I can’t speak for the latter, I’m a prude. That innuendo on the way, it’s been rather quiet here on the home front recently. Perhaps it’s because I’ve been too busy fighting the war over at MAL, being one of the many front- (or second-)... | | |
| 2:42am | Lost my Magic: Why I suddenly went missing from ItaKiss and the shoujo scene | | | | As you may have noticed, I’ve been on a bit of a blogging break of late, slowing the routine down to a weekly ritual chock-ful of filler. If I were more pessimistic I would chalk this up to burnout (or to Burnout, which is a fantastic visceral thrill), but really, the fact of the matter is that... | | |
| 6:50am | Ren’ai Round Table! RenAi Blogger takes on the big names in visual novels | | | | If perhaps you’ve been within a few miles of the otakusphere in the last few days, you will have noticed that something quite interesting has come out of its innermost workings in the form of a doujin-esque visual novel from Hinano, named RenAi Blogger. Now of course, like most things I write,... | | |
| 10:35pm | The Mission-E Mission, aka ‘How do I mine for subs’: A call to arms | | | | Hey, anyone else remember that one show from last summer, Code-E? Remember how good of a warm, slice-of-life show it was with a dash of romance on the side? How you cried for more after that ending that was just asking for continuation? Well, no you didn’t, because nobody watched it. But it doesn’t... | | |
| 10:32pm | megane power rankings | | | | Ja**n M**o who now? About time I lived up to my name here at Mega Megane Moe (lit. I like glasses a damn lot) by providing an easy-to-use compendium slash ranking of all the people with glasses that I know from modern anime. Ever wanted to watch an anime just for the cute characters with glasses, while... | | |
| 10:56pm | Well, I got lazy: A Zero-Punc-style script for a Kure-nai review | | | | There’s one of my groundbreaking review ideas out of the bag. Well, not groundbreaking since it’s a rip-off of one of the larger video-game-culture phenomenons of late of Zero Punctuation, everyone’s favorite fast-talking fast-insulting Australian guy who rambles on about video games... | | |
| 12:58am | [Rapidfire] The Touhou Conspiracy, Part I: Analyze it slowly! Yukkuri | | | | Although TheBigN beat me to it, I’ve been dropping hints left and right that I’ve joined the mass that is Touhou Anonymous, least of which would be an amusing cry for help on my mini-blog, but I think it’s time to make this official: my name is CCY well, my psuedonym is CCY and I’m... | | |
| 7:11am | Memorializing Makoto: School Days, one year later | | | | Apologies for a quick entry, but that just means I’ll have to leave the discussion open-ended instead of just babbling on forever. We’ll see if this incites more comment. But, anyway, if I do manage to get this post finished in the next half-hour, it will have been roughly one year since... |
| 3:47am | Eating Your Cake Too: Shippers Anonymous and the curiosity of desire | | | | As much as I begin to unintentionally obscure my roots in the United States through my pursuit of foreign culture, sometimes I find myself having a distinctly American approach to things regardless. And while I may not be chewing down on countless hamburgers or invading foriegn nations or driving pick-up... | | |
| 11:46pm | Otaku Paranoia: Ressentiment and the NHK Conspiracy | | | | I’ve been going on an interesting, almost existential-type tangent in my anime fandom of recently. Perhaps it’s a slow time waiting week-to-week on all the latest shows, or an over-saturation in pink happy-happy fluffiness, but I’ve been challenging my mentality (and perhaps sanity)... | | |
| 4:34am | [Rapidfire] Analytical Double Play: Halo characters and Kure-nai | | | | A quick discussion on two unrelated topics here, a concept I like to call ‘halo characters’ and a rant (albeit spoiler-free) on the status of Kure-nai through episode 9. It’s pretty much as is, so let me use this pre-jump space as a mini-shoutbox, a mini-rant within a mini-rant post.... | | |
| 5:13am | Finishing Fanime: some more random stories and discussions | | | | A comparatively peaceful and relaxing weekend Just some random notes on Fanime 2008. Inside, a look over on some of the cosplays (although, no pictures yet), the dealer’s room, my elitist side at Fanime, some random games, and the video rooms. I wonder if writing a blunt, short, dull preview... | | |
