| 3:00am | Kids (and adults) in anime, everyone live for the music-go-round | | | | A world without parents, without adults, without the man (and frequently, woman) telling you what to do and how to live. An ideal paradise for many disgruntled, rebellious teenagers, tired with being forced around and shoved into a pigeonhole they don’t want to be in. Little do they do how close... | | |
| 4:07am | KimiKiss 21: Holding ‘em and Folding ‘em | | | | Ignoring the fact that I seem to be mixing up two entirely different card games (and neither of the ‘children’s card game’ variety) the action at the final tables in KimiKiss seems to be heating up (or at least, not cooling down) as the final cards begin to play out. It’s easy... | | |
| 4:40am | My Show Is Better Than Your Show, March Madness Edition | | | | There seems to be cries every season about how the cropping of shows is worse than the last, and while this may or may not be true depending on your taste in shows, I’ve always found it hard to be lacking in stuff to put up on the screen every night. This is because while there may not be many... | | |
| 4:26am | 20/20, Perfect Visions: Kaiji | | | | Actually, looking back on the 20th episode of Kaiji about a week later, I’ve found that said ‘perfect vision’ seems to be blurring. But undoubtedly, explaining - or, rather, finding out - why will be just as interesting an experience, so here we go. I think the best way to put it... | | |
| 9:09pm | English Movie Review: Vantage Point | | | | As much as I would like to be a stereotypical fat white geek living in a basement somewhere, I do find the need sometimes to venture outside of my first-story room to get some Vitamin D in my blood, if only because I prefer my complexion to be at least slightly darker than that of a geisha. What... | | |
| 1:39am | 20/20, Perfect Visions: KimiKiss | | | | You know an episode - or perhaps, a show - is good when your soul is so sufficiently rocked that you can’t come up with a sufficiently interesting one-liner for it, outside of a self-referential, fourth-wall-obliterating, H2O-referencing sentence that seems to drag on and on because no one had... | | |
| 4:55am | A few recommendations while I clean house | | | | you can clean MY house anytime, if you know what I - oh, uh, is that a sword in that broom you’ve got there? I think I’ll shut up now. The real post, as always, will probably come tommorow - if lightning strikes I might be able to do a Kaiji / KimiKiss comparison and contrast post, provided... | | |
| 12:40am | Super Tuesday, brought to you by KimiKiss (18-19) | | | | Sometimes it seems that everyone’s favorite high school romance has more in common with American politics than the date of the week where important stuff happens (this being the usual time for the fansub release). The fight is intensifying on both sides, in this case over the hearts of Kouichi... | | |
| 2:40am | And a Kanon imagepost can make miracles happen | | | | Admittedly, it’s gotten harder to write after taking nearly a week off. But luckily, the lack of posting doesn’t mean that we (and by we I mean me) at M3 have stopped trying to bring you the best and most interesting (and by ‘best and most interesting’ we mean ‘most... | | |
| 3:12pm | A Nagato imagepost can fix everything | | | | Everything. It’s been a busy weekend so I apologize if no post comes up until Monday or possibly Tuesday (y’know, Pacific Time). I suppose as a teaser I’ll let on it involves some predictions, arguments, and comparisons between some of the most heated harem-style romantic wars this... | | |
| 4:44am | In a world without omnipresent narrators… | | | | Where blogposts run wild in the internet, one man stands between a computer screenand the wall behind him. And actually, he’s sitting. Coming soon - actually, right now - to a screen near you The Editorial. (This post is not yet commented) Unfortunately that’s about as funny as the post... | | |
| 12:26am | Clannad and the Moé-volution (but really why I’m not in love with Kyou) | | | | “Why the heck” I’m not in love with Kyou, maybe? It must be “The Kyoto Touch” or something. It seems sometimes that everything Kyoto Animation lays their hands on turns to moe. Or gold. Maybe both. This magic seems to continue with Clannad, which has recieved pretty universal... | | |
| 5:42am | Track Two: KimiKaiji, School Days LxH, and old-school fandom | | | | Day before yesterday I saw a Not Boat, yesterday an sentimental fic, and today, youweirdmusic videothing. I keep trying to be a crazy anime fan. As a guy, I watch magical girl shows, as a realist, I watch ridiculous harems and visual novel adaptations, I fanboy over 2D things more than anything 3D,... | | |
| 4:59am | Gyabo and Kiss! The evolution of shoujo romance? | | | | Mildly Engrish, yes, thanks for asking A while back, I wrote an article about how true shoujo (girls’) romance shows, replete with shiny sparkly slow-motion pans of blond-haired pretty-boys, were lacking compared to the Marmalade Boys of years past. They seemed to be slowly fading out of favor;... | | |
