| 12:53pm | July Summary | | | | Damn that bandwidth. Ah well, it should be over tomorrow. In the meantime, enjoy, and try not to mind the missing pictures too much. ^^; + Top 12 Anime With 1 Episode Released + I’m going to go with the same categories as previous month, as they proved to be quite solid. I’m leaving out... | | |
| 11:26pm | Binbou Shimai Monogatari (The Story of the Poor Sisters) - episode 1 | | | | “A Day for Yukatas, Fireworks and Candy Apples”Poor sisters clearly live in some alternate dimension where 25 minutes feels like an eternity.Kyo and Asu are impoverished sisters who have made a vow with their deceased mother to forever watch out for each other.On the day that the story | | |
| 2:22pm | Binbou Shimai Monogatari 04: OMG, petals galore! | | | | *Project RawSo basically the focus here is on the poor sisters’ lack of parental guidance lol. Asu throws away the invitation(?) for this school activity where the students read a piece and then their parents watch. Kyou sees this paper and worries about what to wear when she attends this | | |
| 10:45pm | Friday Notes (July 28)... | | | | 11:30AM: A bit of news before I head downtown to have lunch.New Nanoha Project? (via MOON PHASE, hat tip to moetron)The October issue of Megami Magazine (on sale August 30) will apparently have some big announcement about a new Nanoha project of some sort could it be a third Nanoha anime? | | |
| 4:20pm | Ichigo Mashimaro Volume 1- Lawl-ies Make Anyone’s Day, Nya~ | | | | It was a roller coaster, this one was. Before I read this, I was forewarned that the manga’d be a bit ok, a lot different from each other and I prepared myself for the impact. But like the Binbou Shimai Monogatari anime, when I thought I prepared myself enough, once again, I turn out to | | |
| 2:00pm | Summer Menu, Part Two | | | | Continuing from last timeBinbou Shimai Monogatari - Geez, how maudlin can it get? The premise is well-suited to drama, but we get flowers and teddy bears and candy canes and ugh. Nothing wrong with that, of course. It’s just that it’s a bit much. I have a soft | | |
| 3:28am | Binbou Shimai Monogatari: when life is sliced too thin | | | | For the benefit of everyone who has not experienced this manga, I have managed to single it down to the most representative chapter in the whole volume. This single page chapter is the longest one in the book, and truly sums up the central focus of the show. Once upon a time, in a future beyond the | | |
| 5:51pm | Binbou Shimai Monogatari Episode 1- They’re Too Poor To Cry | | | | Finally, another series I was looking forward to finally gets the subbing treatment -by those speed demons [Doremi] no less-. Did all that anticipation go to waste? It didn’t blow my mind like I was hoping it to, but it was an amusing 20 odd minutes. Plus it had some festival action and any | | |
| 2:55pm | Binbou Shimai Monogatari: Slice of nothing much | | | | If the slice-of-life genre has taught us anything, it’s that reading about or watching people go about their daily lives can be surprisingly enthralling. Unfortunately, Binbou Shimai Monogatari’s lesson is quite the opposite- there are equally times when a story about day-to-day life can be just plain... | | |
| 3:24am | Binbou Shimai Monogatari 3 | | | | Blah, not again. As you may know Aria's subbing has been slow lately and once again I end up comparing every slice of life anime I see with Aria. Half of time I just think when I can watch that masterpiece again and not episode itself. That isn't really fair to other shows, but the feeling comes | | |
