| 12:42am | A small taste of wisdom. v1, Michel de Montaigne quotes. |  | | | So I watched White Album up to episode 4, but I’ve got nothing to say about it so I’m just gonna let Montaigne take over. This 16th century humanist philosopher. If you like Nietzsche, you’ll find a lot to like here. In fact, many of Nietzsche’s aphorisms are direct reactions... | | |
| 7:18am | [Ascaloth] Trial Run: White Album, Episode 3 | | | | Instead of the "move" everyone (including myself) expected that she was about to make last episode, it turns out that Rina-sama seems to be solely interested in helping the current couple make time for each other, for now. Granted, it’s still early enough in the series such that it’s... | | |
| 7:08am | Game Break - Fate/Unlimited Codes | | | | “I am the bone of my sword” With the success and popularity of the Tsukihime spin-off of fighting games Melty Blood, I’m sure there were many like myself who have wondered when Type-Moon would give Fate/Stay Night a similar treatment. There was the fan 2D fighting game Fatal/Fake,... | | |
| 6:57am | Persona 4 Review -xdbit | | | | I finally beat the game. Completion Time: 103 hours 46 minutes. Now I can have to look back at the game and compare it to it’s predecessor, Persona 3 FES. Most of the stuff here will sound generally the same as anywhere else from an official review site except that I know what the hell I’m... | | |
| 6:31am | Shoichi Masuo | | | | The Japanese animation industry has a long tradition of great effects animators dating back at least to the 1940s. But the difference with the west is that there is no clear systemic difference between the two, and as a result, at least until relatively recently, often they haven't been credited separately.... | | |
| 10:57am | The post for the study of the adaptation of visual media | | | | Or just another post with scattered thoughts comparing the Genshiken manga and anime. Manga and anime spoilers abound. Fateful Encounter. In the manga, we were not shown how Saki and Kousaka met in university. The anime opened with her trying to pick him up but then having him recognize her as a childhood... | | |
| 6:10am | Zoku Natsume Yuujinchou 1: Where’s the shade of gray? | | | | Summer then winter, white then black. Too bad the theme does not follow suit. The problem I find with this first episode is the lack of middle ground in the characterization. On one extreme the Lord (the black Nyanko) was way too sacrificial in his devotion to befriending mankind while on the other... | | |
| 7:19am | Tytania Episode 12 (Are There Two Seperate Scenario Writers For This Show?) | | | | Nunally 2.0 Lydia I Simultaneously Love And Hate You At The Same Time.Kind Of In The Same Way I Do This Episode No seriously, I’m really starting to wonder about the bi-polar style of writing between the two factions of the show. Specifically about what is going on with the disparity between... | | |
| 3:31am | Anime Inbou Awards 2008, pt. 2 ~ character |  | | | The second part of AIA ‘08 focuses now on what makes a show unique and that is the numerous amount of characters, each with their own personalities, preferences, hobbies, you name it. They give life to the show and they are the stars that get seiyuu their money in their wallets. For this year,... | | |
| 7:50pm | Developer’s Diaries: Fate/Meta Narrative |  | | | A newly-minted enmity of mine is the Fate/stay night anime, especially when those watching it have yet to read the visual novel in all its glory; as all adaptation purists are so disposed to argue, the quality of the former when juxtaposed against the latter forms a significant portion of that criticism,... | | |
| 5:10pm | 2008/2009 Winter Anime Menu | | | | Super delayed preview, as always! woohoo!! Better late than never, right? It’s that time of the year when the chefs get together and actually post something to bring you this comprehensive list of animes due this season. Without further ado, we bring to you this almost complete list of this sequel-filled... | | |
| 12:00pm | 2008 in Review: The Good, the Bad and the WTF?! |  | | | This post is dedicated to the good, the bad and the WTF’s of this year. It’s really been an interesting year.. Heh, I was supposed to post this yesterday, but with all the shopping, satelite tracking, celebrations and epic rickrolling, I only finished it today. I guess this will be my... | | |
| 4:00am | THAT’s Official “Best Anime of 2008″ Post |  | | | The gift of moe The post of the title is pretty self-explanatory, but what the hell. I badgered several of the THAT authors into indicating along with me what they thought the best anime of 2008 was. Some of them (including myself) could not contain themselves and split their selection. Regardless,... | | |
| 7:44pm | The 2nd Annual Awards For Dubious Achievements In Anime (2008) | | | | Did you folks think I would forget to do it this year? Once again I’d like to welcome you all to the Awards For Dubious Achievements In Anime, now in it’s second year of existence. I came up with these awards because I noted that while most blogs have strictly flat out best of awards,... | | |
| 2:36pm | Over 9000 Meaningless Words | | | | ←[100] first impressions on Mariaholic In the first part, ghostlightning and I talk about Kannagi. In the second, superfani talks about art in general. Essentially, the conclusion we came to was that the religious metaphorical elements are played out in such that they themselves constitute a subplot.... | | |
