| 7:20pm | I Can Only Pimp So Much About Cross Game | | | | It’s so easy to let loose and want to shout “OMG YOU HAVE TO WATCH THIS!” when you watch an anime that’s so amazing, and you want other people to share in the joy of having discovered a GEM — like when I came across Cross Game and found it to be the BEST that Spring has... | | |
| 4:20pm | Aria the Natural: Episode 11 Commentary | | | | No matter how much work a person puts into something, will a copy always be nothing more than a copy? Can a replica ever compare with the original it’s based on? Can the heart and soul of the maker of a copy capture what the original contained? Looking at it as a matter of tradition and history,... | | |
| 10:15am | Anime changes when you start listening to it | | | | Despite claims, I actually like K-ON. I’m not sure when and where it was I started to make the transition from reading the subtitles to reading the subtitles and listening to the audio at times. I guess some time around when my Japanese intake reached critical mass and my brain just kinda started... | | |
| 4:13pm | Aria the Natural: Episode 10 Commentary | | | | Watching the episode to this episode, I could almost hear Aika’s voice saying, “No being acquainted with everyone in town allowed!” This is a powerful episode for me. The way Akari goes around making friends so easily is really something to see. It’s a warm feeling to see everyone... | | |
| 2:17pm | Writing Priorities | | | | One of the numerous reasons I started The Pink Sylphide was to get myself to write more often. For a good length of time, it served that purpose well. It also helped me analyze more thoroughly what I’m watching. In the last year and a half, however, I’ve taken up photography as another... | | |
| 8:59am | My San Francisco Trip! | | | | Flickr Link Went to San Francisco two weekends ago. I’ve never been to Nor-Cal and was super excited for this trip to San Francisco! Been a So-cal girl my entire life and have visited most places in So-Cal but haven’t but more north than Yosemite. It was a short trip from Friday morning... | | |
| 7:00pm | Aria the Natural, Part 1 Anime Boxset (English) | | | | I need to say this first, because I am sick and tired of getting nasty emails, comments and blogposts from people who have no grip on reality. I DO NOT think that Aria is Yuri. Many other people who [[ This is a content summary only. Visit http://okazu.blogspot.com for full links, other content, and... | | |
| 4:06pm | Aria the Natural: Episode 9 Commentary | | | | Seeing a sky view of Neo-Venezia makes me wonder how much of the city’s paths were mapped out. Could I locate areas from prior episodes, and paths taken, on that sky-view map of the city seen at the start of the opening theme? No one would notice a lack of consistency on this level, I’m... | | |
| 1:32pm | Bayonetta Desgin Process | | | | I really like how Platinum Games is doing their promotion for their game Bayonetta for audiences outside Japan. On their WordPress.com Blog they have 2 new posts on the design and 3d Modelling process for Bayonetta. The Design of Bayonetta is by Mari Shimazaki and 3d Model by Kenichiro “Yoshi”... | | |
| 1:30pm | Ristorante Paradiso Episode 3 - Why is it so darn good? |  | | | The question in my mind: Why is a show about old men, food and some romance so darn good? There are some shows out there that are great, and you know why they are great. FLCL is great because it has an insane level of energy and craziness that makes your heart pounding for more. On the other hand, Simoun... | | |
| 1:54am | Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou |  | | | This is a post that I wrote on my old blog last summer. It was one of my better posts and I really liked it so I thought I would republish it here. Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou (YKK) is one of those slice-of-life series (to be more specific its a iyashikei series) that people seem to miss. It’s a... | | |
| 4:02pm | Aria the Natural: Episode 8 Commentary | | | | Today is Festa Del Bòcolo, during the Acqua Alta–and yet nothing was heard of festival during the previous Acqua Alta. My guess is that Acqua Alta and Festa Del Bòcolo are on different days (the former by solar and lunar events; the latter by specific calendar date), and they simply lined up... | | |
| 1:05am | Winter 2009 Wrap-up: Clannad ~After Story~ & Maria-sama ga Miteru 4th |  | | | The winter season’s been over for a few weeks now, but I’ve only recently finished the shows from the winter season (and some from the fall) that I was watching. I’ve yet to finish Akikan! and RideBack, and I haven’t caught up to the latest episodes of Churuya-san, Haruhi-chan,... | | |
