| 12:48pm | 'Honey and Clover' to become a TV series in Taiwan | | | | What do I know? Apparently, there is going to be a Taiwanese TV series adaptation of Honey and Clover. I am a fan of Honey and Clover, though I am no fan of T-drama (or live-action adaptation of anime/manga in general for that matter). I have not even seen the Japanese live-action movie of Honey and... | | |
| 2:57am | Honey and Clover J-Drama Thoughts |  | | | Ever since Honey and Clover hit the airwaves, I’ve been a huge fan of it, from watching the animes, the movie, reading the manga, and now watching the live action version. And I’ll be quick here, H&CLA is definitely one of the funniest shows of 2008.Compared to the movie, the producers... | | |
| 6:14am | The Perils of Human Interrelatedness | | | | Go give the springboard of this post a read if you had not yet the chance. I think I may just be parroting what Owen said there, but I think the subject deserves a very good scrub on its own. It’s hard to find a good beginning to tackle this multi-threaded concept, so I’ll start with the... | | |
| 12:46am | Honey and Clover S1-01 | | | | Honey and Clover is my favorite anime of all time. Simple as that. So here goes a rewatch. It has definitely retained its charm. | | |
| 11:45am | One-week hiatus | | | | In case you're wondering if I'd cover the second episode of Honey and Clover live action, the answer is I would. However, as I've said before, I can't do it until I come back home on the 21st of January. The same can be said about Clannad episode 14. I am currently on a conference and I am stuck... | | |
| 1:54am | Live Action Honey and Clover Is One Petal Shy of Four | | | | I wish I was more excited about the live action Hachikuro. But how could I be, really. The movie was not so great -though I still ended up buying the dvd regardless-. I thought, “If they could botch a movie, they could botch a drama.” When I first went through the cast, I liked the male... | | |
| 7:05pm | Honey and Clover Live Action Episode 1 |  | | | Warning: This is graphics-heavy, so loading may that some time. Seems like I’ve gone a bit trigger happy with the screenshots.Not an anime, but hey, this was adapted from a manga and there was an anime with 2 seasons adapted from the same source, so I think it has its place here. The dorama (drama)... | | |

| 8:28am | Review: Honey and Clover (Live Action Film) (59%) |  | | | You look all grown up now, Hagu-chan What have they done with my second favorite anime of all time? Even Yoko Kanno and a whole passel of great insert songs can’t save this muddled, half-baked mess of a film that strips away so much of what made Honey and Clover one of the greatest evocations of... | | |

| 1:07pm | My 2008 Watchlist… |  | | | A lot of goodies are in store for anime lovers this 2008. I personally find some of them to be repetitive of the stuff that I’ve watched before and others simply seem to be boring. But among the line-up this year the following caught my interest:1. Ponyo on a Cliff: Another film from Studio Ghibli... | | |
| 4:38am | Moyashimon 1-5: First Impressions |  | | | One more review for the year, shall we? I decided to see what all the fuss was about from all the other bloggers about this delightfully weird combination of comedy, agricultural science, and a little-explored setting for anime: the agricultural college! Many have spoken of how educational Moyashimon... | | |
| 8:56pm | Review: ef-a tale of memories–Do You Remember Love? (93%) |  | | | It is like a dream: a series of moments both strange and memorable, passing through the filter of the mind’s eye that, with a little direction, arrange themselves into patterns and meanings whose sum is greater than the parts. This series’ melange of art, memory, dream, and sorrow is a... | | |
