| 10:57am | Rant: Streaming Druaga Online | | | | While searching through Google results for Tower of Druaga, I came across a web site where you could stream anime. However The site included anime such as Naruto, Azumanga Daioh, Lucky Star, and even Avatar: The Last Avatar. It was set up through a domain name for the site, BlogSpot blog posts for... | | |
| 3:23am | Janggeum’s Dream: Episode 43 Commentary | | | | This episode has to be the most lost I’ve been watching an episode due to the language barrier. Not all was lost, though, as Yeonsaeng took center stage a good portion of the episode. The only interesting thing I found worth observing would be the scenes with Geum-yeong. Lady Choe gave her what... |
| 3:17am | Cardcaptor Apparel: Pink with a Hoop Skirt | | | | This outfit was originally designed by Tomoyo with the Fly card in mind, as that’s the card Sakura was up against when she wore it in the manga. In the anime, Tomoyo plans to have Sakura wear it for a “forest dance” in the park to film. Instead, Sakura wears it while going after... | | |
| 6:20pm | Forget Realism, Let’s Have Some Magic | | | | Over at Borderline Hikikomori, Crisu writes about attempting a lecture on mahou shoujo. To this, Damien Kellis of Moe Check! responds with a piece on shoujo versus shounen. Considering that I’ve spent over four hours over the past two weekends working on an unfinished, content-light Cardcaptor... | | |
| 3:16am | Janggeum’s Dream: Episode 42 Commentary | | | | That had to be quite a bump, as Suro’s whole personality is different. He’s been a loud character since the very first episode he appeared in. Back then, I was afraid I’d get him and Jeong-ho mixed up. Hey, there were a lot of characters to be taking in, after all. One defining... |
| 1:51pm | Sports Apparel: Tennis Uniform | | | | If there’s one thing that does not interest me, it’s sports. However, there are two sports which generally have nice uniforms: tennis and soccer. (It’s only a coincidence that tennis is about the only sport I can actually play, were I one to play sports.) It’s easy to get a... |
| 10:40pm | Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok Episode 3 Commentary | | | | Mayura’s swirly-eyed glasses have returned. Good to see that’ll be recurring, and wasn’t a one-time gag. When the grim reaper appears over Loki, Yamino gives a look of, “I can’t believe Loki’s actually bothering to do this.” I take it to mean this was an illusion... |
| 3:12am | Janggeum’s Dream: Episode 41 Commentary | | | | With Jang Suro appearing at the end of the episode, it would have been better not to have shown him in the last “next episode preview”. It’s not worth the spoiler to have included it to build anticipation as he hardly shows up in the episode, appearing only long enough to show his... |
| 5:03pm | A Little Snow Fairy Sugar: Episode 23 Commentary | | | | It’s difficult to say much about an episode which focuses on a runaway piano. Mulenburg has a good set up hills, with enough ups and downs. Some of the piano’s ride seemed a little farfetched, such as working its way up the drawbridge, but I can excuse that for the sake of the episode.... |
| 10:35pm | Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok Episode 2 Commentary | | | | He can be a mythical detective all he wants, but I’m calling Loki a mahou shounen, a magical boy, now. Loki’s position is as banished god is starting to be revealed, which means there should be a plot, something that’s been lacking in a few series I’ve watched (and haven’t... |
| 1:47pm | Cardcaptor Apparel: Water Jester | | | | Sakura wears this in episode three, “Sakura’s Heart-Racing First Date”. I don’t understand the jester theme to the outfit, but maybe that’s just what it is: a theme. Does Tomoyo sit around thinking, “What would Sakura look like in a jester swimsuit”? Maybe... |
| 5:02pm | A Little Snow Fairy Sugar: Episode 22 Commentary | | | | If I were to pick one word to represent this entire episode, it would be “lonely”. Sugar’s loneliness comes in as Saga is always at school or work, and Salt and Pepper have returned home to the fairy world. Greta’s loneliness has been recurring, as she challenges Saga repeatedly... |
| 10:17pm | Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok Episode 1 Commentary | | | | Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok has been on my to-watch list for a while now. I bought the series without knowing what to expect, except for the very basic premise. Although it sounded similar to Detective Conan in that you have a child who really isn’t a child, and a detective agency, I knew... |
| 9:05am | Janggeum’s Dream: Episode 40 Commentary | | | | This time around, I thought to look in the ending credits for names. It appears only the main characters are listed by name. No matter for this episode, though, as the newly introduced character is clearly named Sato. How old is Sato? Six? Eight, tops, I’m sure. He can’t be older and... |
| 3:19pm | ~con bravura~ | | | | I’m starting to get a better feel for the flow of the episodes, and this is the second almost enjoyable episode. With three episodes left, maybe it’ll improve enough to have been worth it. This is also the first episode where I don’t think I noticed the background once. It’s... |
