| 9:45am | Saturday Notes | | | | Yes, I'm still here :) Just had some things interfering with blogging this week. Be it being tired, or having to do stuff around the house, or watching anime with friends Thursday night: fyi, we watched the first Elfen Lied DVD (picked it up last week since it was on sale at RightStuf) and some... | | |
| 4:09pm | Aria - 03 | | | | You know, Aria is gowing on me quite alot. The first episode was kind boring, but the next two episodes have been really cute and interesting. They've also developed the characters so that we can gain more understanding of them Well secondary characters. Akari herself still seems at times | | |
| 5:47am | Tuesday Notes... | | | | Is is really already November? The past month has gone by really, really fast for me for some reason, but anyways I thought I was going to have the first Futago Hime DVD on Monday, and then today, but nobody was at home when the DHL guy came by both times (if they went to the right house this | | |
| 5:50am | ARIA 4 | | | | After being out with Alice and Aika as the sun sets (with a hazukashii serifu kinshi! in there, of course) Akari heads off to do some shopping with President Aria after being asked by Alicia. While out, President Aria seems to sense something and runs off and Akari follows. They arrive in a small | | |
| 1:44am | How random? | | | | Too many nights of replaying old Dreamcast classics certainly doesn’t bode well for maintaing a sensible sleep pattern, but I’d say chasing after Lan Di, vandalising Tokyo and being a docile newbie to the world of doujinshi is far, far more important. Full points to those of you who know... | | |
| 6:30pm | Autumn Anime 2005: First Pass | | | | Update: I've decided to drop Aria from my blogging schedule. I am sorry for doing this but I really can't find the motivation to blog this one anymore. If you're still interested in the series, I'd recommend that you check Matthew's blog for future episode updates.With the... | | |
| 12:01am | October Round-up! | | | | Right, now everything I’m vaguely interested in covering (aside from Karin, which I’ll probably hate, and I’ll pass on Japanese Folk Stories and Ginga Densetsu Weed for now) has aired, here’s a round-up of how I hope things to play out from here: Blogging: Black Cat - | | |
| 12:09am | Aria - Episode 1 | | | | This was just not my type of shownot to say the episode was boring *sigh* | | |
| 6:36am | Aria ep.3 | | | | I can't believe the animators choose to combine the two separate stories involving Akatsuki and Alice into one continuous episode. The Akari and Akatsuki segment is one of my favourite parts of the manga. I feel that the anime kind of ruined the segment by adding Alice into the equation. | | |
| 12:53am | ARIA 3 | | | | Quickly, since I'm kinda behind here. See Garten for the full summary and such. We're introduced to a new character this time, with a name starting with "A", of course. Alice, 14 years old, works for another guide company called Orange Planet. She's said to be a natural at being an | | |
| 7:08pm | Jigoku Shoujo ep.3 | | | | Warning: Please be aware that this is a horror series. As such, this entry may contain some disturbing images.If Jigoku Shoujo continues like this, I will probably drop this title instead of Aria. At least the animation on that other series is good. The thing is, it's really hard to know how... | | |
| 11:04pm | Aria the animation | | | | The series, a somewhat direct adaptation of the manga by Kozue Amano, takes us to a terraformed Mars and the city of Neo Venezia, where several of our main cast works as Undines -- gondola rowers. This is mainly the story of Akari -- who wishes to become a full fledged undine herself -- and her | | |
| 6:09am | ARIA 2 | | | | Akari writes an e-mail(?) to Ai-chan then goes downstairs and is surprised to find water inside. It's almost summer so the water level has risen in Neo-Venice (or Neo-Venezia, whatever ;) -- a phenomenon called aqua alta. Everybody pretty much stays inside and takes it easy while it's | | |
| 10:05pm | Aria ep.2 | | | | Hmm, I'm starting to wonder if I want to follow this series continuously now. I find this episode to be rather sleep-inducing. Maybe I'm just tired after work and gym but this seems quite dull to me. It's really unfortunate because I think the background and the animation are quite... | | |
| 11:32am | ARIA 1 | | | | Akari Mizunashi (wearing a nekomimi cap) wakes up to yet another beautiful day on Aqua (Mars), along with an odd cat-like creature that I'll call Ariashachou -- so called because it's the shachou "president", of the Aria Company that Akari works for. I'm not kidding ;) After seeing | | |
