| 8:32am | A Sunny Place | | | | I’ve been rewatching Hidamari Sketch, as well as its sequel Hidamari Sketch x365, the title of which brings up the obvious question of leap years, but I digress. Anyway, even now, I’m not entirely sure what to say about it.It’s a happy series, to be sure. It’s the brighter, fluffier... | | |
| 8:33am | Lyrical Magical - Mildly Military | | | | It’s been around a month or so since I was firmly told to leave the Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha Original Character community. The reasons are not so manifold, if it comes down to it, but the net effect is that I’ve been working on other things apart from MSLN-related works now, since the... | | |
| 1:23pm | Maid Of Moe | | | | When I get a new toy to play with, especially if that toy allows me to make new toys, I tend to obsess over them. Such has been the case when, after sufficient prodding from a variety of sources, I bought the PDF version of the Maid RPG sourcebook. Yes, you read that correctly: it |
| 2:09pm | Haruhi-chan 04 - Gamer Geek | | | | Name the game systems.Left top shelf: ???, XBox 360, what looks like a slimline PlayStation 2, some unknown cartridges (a handheld, maybe?), and a Mega Drive/Genesis.Left third shelf: PC-FX, some kind of arcade joystick gamepad, a box of parts, and is that a Wii?Left bottom shelf: I think it’s... |
| 3:50pm | Wallpaper Post - The Gunslinging Of Haruhi Suzumiya | | | | While Real Life takes over most of my, well, life, I have attempted to alter the flow of feng shui around my destiny by choosing a new desktop image. One wonders if this will have the same effect as mere rearrangement of furniture.Yes, I am superstitious. I used to scoff at such things, but then | | |
| 8:12am | Valentine’s Day 2009 - Obligatory Chocolate | | | | No, I don’t have a girlfriend. No, I’ve never had a girlfriend. No, I’ll likely never have a girlfriend. Yes, the balance of probability is that I’ll live out the rest of my life alone and unloved, save for the escapist fantasies conjured up by my desperate mind.That still doesn’t... |
| 11:18am | It’s Not Like I Wanted To Post This - The Tsundere | | | | I realize that this anime blog is, as I always mention, intended for moe, and all it entails. It’s not so much a genre as a style, an additional feature that can stand on its own (regardless of whether it should), but can also be added to another show as akin to a condiment. It |
| 7:01am | Lyrical Magical - To Write A Sue | | | | One bit of advice most frequently heard among blog comments, generally in the vicinity of blog posts about blogging itself, is to Write What You Want, and from there Write What You Know. Which may be all well and good, but this runs smack into the adage of Knowing Your Audience: if your Audience doesn’t... |
| 5:59am | The Perspective of Haruhi Suzumiya | | | | There are times when it is best to avoid certain parts of the Internet, specifically the locales populated by the more excitable features of fandom. Like a gathering storm, one might be able to see the dark clouds in the distance, forming an eldritch vortex centered around the site of momentous events,... | | |
| 3:39pm | Except For The Slapstick | | | | Not quite an anime topic, I realize, but it is tangentially related to anime, a distant cousin whose exact relation to anime is not quite clear, but nevertheless has Something To Do with anime in a curiously definite way. It is related, it is influenced, it is inspired, it may even be esque.I’ve... |
| 1:58pm | Nanoha GamerS XXXI - And Zafira | | | | This entry is part 31 of 31 in the series Nanoha GamerSThe past few weeks have been somewhat bland on posting, largely because of the beast known as Real Life. Presentations are horrible things to inflict on the easily-nervous. |
| 4:59pm | Sora Kake Girl - The Girl With The Golden Gun | | | | Like most sci-fi anime which deals with Adventures In Space!, Sora wo Kakeru Shoujo is set towards the softer side of the science, while still retaining a healthy dosage of technobabble, such that I am unable to follow more than the absolute basics without some sort of Cliff’s Notes. There are... |
| 8:22am | Zero no Tsukaima III OVA - A Sartorial Mystery | | | | Despite wearing nothing else but a revealing bikini, Queen Henrietta still dons her tiara.I’ve already mentioned this elsewhere, in various discussions about the OVA, but it still bears repeating: why?That tiara is beginning to seem less like a symbol of office than some sort of cartilaginous ... | | |
| 10:43am | Maria Holic 01-02 - Schadenfreude | | | | There is, apparently, a saying that Comedy is Tragedy plus Time. I first heard it among my friends in the US, and it seemed like some sort of quote or well-known aphorism which I had not hitherto encountered. Like all generalizations there are exceptions, but it does explain the accusation of “too... |
