| 9:14am | At this point I can no longer back down – and I’m hoping neither will you | | | | (If at any point you find these 2000 words to be too overwhelming, click here to skip to the last few paragraphs at the end; although you’ll be missing out on some great stories) I like to make things sound so dramatic, when obviously they are not such. Well, maybe not to you anyway; certainly... | | |
| 4:13am | Letter C | | | | And I’m back! We’re now onto the letter C. “C” is good letter. It gives us words like: cute, cuddly, composition, cluster, cats, crisis, comedy (okay, we get it). This alphabetizing is part of my “I Love Anime” spew. I select multiple animes worth mentioning- talk... | | |
| 8:00am | The 18th Day of Christmas 2008 - resolving resolutions | | | | Well, one year ago I made a bunch of New Year’s Resolutions of sorts, in terms of anime viewing, as to what I definitely most absolutely must had to see (or experience, or rave about, in a few cases) over the next 12 months. And while it’s apparent that the last year in the anime fandom... | | |
| 8:00am | The 16th Day of Christmas 2008 - The Works on the works of 2008 | | | | WARNING ENCOUNTERED A POST The Works on the works of 2008 - a little bit describing every anime I’ve touched Part 15 in the 12 Moments in Anime Countdown BE ATTITUDE FOR GAINS 1: TL;DR IN SMALL BITS 2: EVERY SERIES IN A SHORT PARAGRAPH 3: RADIANT SILVERGUN REFERENCES NO REFUGE Akagi Show ▼... | | |
| 9:40pm | The 15th Day of Christmas 2008 - Club Nayuki | | | | “Club Nayuki” is this hip imaginary place in my head, a VIP locale for some of the underdog, underloved, or underrated characters in anime. Christened after a certain Miss Minase who gained quite the following in the great battle of Kanon, it’s a place I often reference when referring... | | |
| 8:33am | The 14th Day of Christmas 2008 - found my music | | | | found my music - Some of the best themes of 2008 anime Part 14 in the 12 Moments in Anime Countdown Counting down a few of my favorite songs from anime in 2008; I can’t claim to be a music enthusiast in terms of knowing terminology, or knowing musical theory, but anime music does make up a large... | | |
| 6:36am | Summer '08 Season Review | | | | In general the shows that were completed during the summer season were very weak. With Hidamari being the sole exception, I would not recommend anything anything else, unless you begin to run out of choices. Recommended: Hidamari Sketch x 365Good: Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu, MISSION-E, Wagaya no Oinari-samaWatchable:... | | |
| 8:53am | Mission-E Review - 77,5/100 | | | | A major theme of the past season is fooling the viewer: going into an entirely different direction than what would be normally expected. Mission-E definitely has these themes: its predecessor (Code-E) was a cute little love-triangle set in a high school, so naturally you’d expect something similar... | | |
| 8:20am | Mission-E - 12 | | | | Short Synopsis: Mission-E ends as Oz rushes in to prevent the foundation to carry out its plans. Highlights: Predictable, plot-holes, but overall better than expected. Overall Enjoyment Value: 7/10 And so it has ended. I wasn’t expecting too much of this episode, because there isn’t much... | | |
| 6:01am | Mission-E #12 — One Point Twentyone Gigawatts!? | | | | Flux Capacitor fluxxing! Impressions: No matter whatever else happened in this episode, I started cracking up like mad when they ran the Back to the Future credits. Featuring Nancy McFly, played by Michael J Hox. That alone brought me more entertainment than the entirety of the ZnT season finale.... | | |
| 2:57pm | Mission-E - 11 | | | | Short Synopsis: The calm before the storm-episode, where Chinami and Kotarou’s engagement gets celebrated Highlights: Hilarious banter. Overall Enjoyment Value: 8,5/10 Ah, now I understand! I finally realize why Mission-E has disappointed so much, thanks to this episode, which probably was among... | | |
| 7:46pm | Mission-E #11 — Don’t Make That Face at Me | | | | I’m with Maori and Adol. Impressions: It seems to me that between last week and this week’s episode, there was only about 20 minutes worth of anything interesting. Hiiragi (and I only remember his name because of all the shadowy figures going "What’s Hiiragi doing!? at the... | | |
| 1:29pm | Mission-E - 10 | | | | Short Synopsis: Chinami does what more anime characters should attempt: try to talk things out. Highlights: A bit forced, but it’s good to see this series heating up. Overall Enjoyment Value: 7,5/10 So what first seemed to be a standard calm-before-the-storm episode turned into the introduction... | | |
| 5:32pm | Mission-E - 09 | | | | Short Synopsis: A calm-before-the-storm episode, mostly aimed at Maori. Highlights: Maori’s development. Overall Enjoyment Value: 8/10 Aah! It’s been too long since I’ve watched Code-E. To think that Maori actually made a small appearance there. It was hardly a moment that stood... | | |
| 12:40pm | Mission-E - 06 | | | | Short Synopsis: Chinami “tries” to rescue the kidnapped Maori. Highlights: The plot thickened yet again. Overall Enjoyment Value: 8/10 I’m still not sure whether the red-haired lady in this episode was Mils Brimberg or not. On one hand, she could have easily died her hair and adapted... | | |
