| 6:55pm | I’m one of his twenty faces too | | | | When its first episode finished, I suspect a lot of people probably dropped their interest in The Daughter of Twenty Faces (a.k.a Nijuu Mensou no Musume) right there and then. Going off of first impressions, it’s not flashy at all. The colour palette is subdued, there’s no sensational fan-service... | | |
| 11:40am | Kaiba ep08: 카이바 8화 | | | | Click pictures to enlarge them. Spoilers ahead so please be cautious. WOW. I'm glad I sticked with this series. Finally, things started to make more sense this time around. However, I'm still having problem with "Warp". It seems like Warp, is more like.. 글 전체보기 | | |
| 9:15pm | Kaiba Episode 4 - Grandma’s Memory Room | | | | The next planet that Chroniko-Kaiba and Vanilla land on is the planet Baba (methinks the names were an afterthought) home to an old lady and her greedy, layabout sons. The old lady is totally in denial about the tragic death of her husband, who was trying to pick her favourite flower; Kaiba, back... | | |
| 8:30pm | Kaiba Episode 3 - Chroniko’s Boots | | | | Kaba and Hyo-Hyo stop off on a planet (this is a running theme for the next few episodes - I’m not quite sure why they stop at these planets, although I presume the shuttle is a passenger liner) - this one’s named Toto. There they are saved from Vanilla’s clutches by Chroniko, a... | | |
| 4:30pm | My First Vector Trace - Murasaki Wallpaper | | | | As the title says I did my first vector trace. I chose to do Murasaki, from Kure-nai, since I had a nice screenshot from episode 8 when she was in her kimono. I’ve been wanting to learn how to do vector tracing for a long while but was always to intimidated to try. When I finished I figured... | | |
| 4:10pm | Kaiba - 08 | | | | It’s been a long wait, but finally my beloved Kaiba is back. And what an episode does it return with! For once, Kaiba doesn’t appear in it at all, and instead it’s all about Popo, and how the bastards killed off his own mother to keep up his appearances. As it turns out, she once... | | |
| 5:11pm | Status report | | | | I don’t have interests or hobbies; I have obsessions. They usually progress like this: Stage one: What’s this? Stage two: This is kinda interesting. Let’s investigate it further. Stage three: This is really interesting. It’s worth a little time and money. Stage four: This is... | | |
| 5:51am | Quirky Comparisons | | | | Another Kaiba post, only half so, though, I guess. Upon randomly remembering the last episode of Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien[1], Haruka sort of surprised me[2] when she says something along the lines of Takayuki being a different person, her not aging, and so forth and so on.I couldn’t resist. [this... | | |
| 12:47am | Thoughts |  | | | Neurochemicals such as “endorphins” are necessary for happiness. The most reliable way to increase endorphin levels is to exercise. Other methods include reading a good book, talking to friends, working, or studying. Low endorphin levels over a long period of time lead to depression and... | | |
| 12:39am | Weekly Review (June 1-7) of Anime Watched | | | | This one is on-time . Kaiba continues to prove that it’s the best show of the season and Aya Hirano continues to show why she’s one of the best female seiyuu and maybe sometime this decade will have a chance to see her voice Haruhi again.Kaiba, episode 6 – Rating 12+/12 PerfectI’ll pass on... | | |
| 10:15pm | Kaiba 5-7: the value of identity | | | | If I hadn’t promised myself that I wouldn’t blog episodically any more Kaiba would be one show that I’d find easy to blog episodically. It’s an interesting experiment in playing around with the linear narrative idea - while the instalments are clearly in chronological order each... | | |
| 9:21am | Amatsuki - 10 | | | | I remember noting somewhere how an average episode of Real Drive feels like it’s much shorter than it actually is. The opposite is the case with Amatsuki. Seriously, I can hardly believe that this episode was just twenty minutes long. I could have sworn that this episode was much longer. I think... | | |
| 2:07am | Art and Soul 5–”I Will Never Forgive You!” |  | | | Here’s the fifth episode of Art and Soul, my anime and religion/ethics audio column! This one covers a phenomenon that I’ve seen in so many anime–the phrase “I will never forgive you!” How does that square with Christian ethics, which demands forgiveness even when it’s... | | |
| 7:02pm | Armour Hunter Mellowlink | | | | Decades of warfare destroy any sense for subtle wit. To compensate for recently giving in to the urge to write about Kaiba, I sought out a helping of big men, big guns and big robots: Armour Hunter Mellowlink, a spin-off OVA set in the same world as Armoured Trooper VOTOMS. ATV is an unusual franchise,... | | |
