| 4:04am | So I was like, I guess I’ll watch KimiKiss | | | | but I dunno. Episode 2 was discouraging. It was full of the kind of dialogue that makes these renai adaptations stupid. Mao is like “HEY MR. STOIC LET’S MAKE A DEAL WHERE YOU TALK TO ME SO I CAN ADD YOU TO MY SHIPPING LIST.” Now, I may not have grown up in a Japanese high school,... | | |
| 3:40am | more on the fall season | | | | I was trying to watch Clannad and KimiKiss, but I kept getting them confused, on account of them being full of stock renai characters, so I had to pick one to watch first. I used to get really confused when people talked about Clannad, because I assumed they were talking about the band. | | |
| 8:15am | Pride Comes Before A… Fall 2007 Previews: What is Love |  | | | There’s been more of that “balanced” talk around this season more than any other this year given how the harem/bishoujo shows have a strong showing, and for that reason alone I decided to dedicate a post to four shows in said genre, namely Myself;Yourself, Blue Drop, Kimikiss Pure... | | |
| 8:43pm | The Balanced Diet - Sorely Lacking In Kisses | | | | No, this has nothing to do with the blog by a similar name. But the idea behind this rant is the same: there are different stories out there; as a genre or a medium, anime offers some variety of themes and stories. Even more importantly, anime offers a wide varieties of storytelling. Moyashimon is... | | |
| 7:17pm | Kimikiss Pure Rouge | | | | #1 reason to watch: Mao-neesan!!First post for this season from me. The first thing I watched of this season was Kimikiss and me being a sap like I am and possibly manned out from Gurren Lagann of the previous season but I really enjoyed it. | | |
| 9:51pm | KimiKiss pure rouge - 01 | | | | Opening Sequence:OP: “Aozora loop” by marbleIt’s been a while since I last heard a marble song, the last one was “Mebae Drive” from Hidamari Sketch. A very nice OP which covers all the girls in the series. | | |
| 1:47am | KimiKiss: Pure Rouge - 03 |  | | | So this week everyone has a welcoming party for Mao and they decide to go Karaokeing. Unfortunately they gotta gather 7 people in order to get some kind of discount. Mao trusts the boys to grab some women, and since Kazuki can’t get his hands on the “cool beauty” it’s up to Koichi... | | |
| 6:26pm | KimiKiss pure rouge – 02 First Signs of Blooming Romance(s) | | | | KimiKiss pure rouge Episode 2 – cool beautyprobably need that, not because it needs “light” (heck it already has MUCH of it), but because not much people is giving it There are also a number of blogs out there who’s blogging this show, and I’m one of the uber delayed ones, so… LOL. I’m... | | |
| 5:34am | Do You Ever Talk Back to Your Anime? |  | | | Do you ever talk to your anime? One of the things that they used to teach me in media literacy class is that an effective means to combat the passivity most TV watchers have is to talk back to the TV–to say out loud what one really thinks or feels at the moment something happens. Especially if... | | |
| 4:06am | Kimikiss Pure Rouge 2–The Repentance Continues |  | | | Yesterday I repented of my initial thoughts about ef~a tale of memories. Today I repent in dust and ashes for my initial review of Kimikiss Pure Rouge. You are all right: this is a different show altogether than what I thought. It is still slightly grating to see some cliches but it is already coming... | | |
| 4:04am | Mike on ef-a tale of memories 2: I Have Got to Stop Being So Hasty |  | | | I think Owen’s right: the beginning of a new season seems to make anime bloggers like me dumber. Already I’ve begun building up a track record of unfair initial reviews, like my Kimikiss one, and trumpeted shows that later disappointed me. ef-a tale of memories is a show that I pretty much... | | |
| 1:50am | KimiKiss - WTH is this show good? |  | | | No no no, I’m not bagging this show, actually, I like it. But here’s what puzzles me: Why the hell is the show good?I mean, KimiKiss is one of the most generic shows I’ve seen in a long time, it’s worth jack **** compared to CLANNAD, it’s not as epic as Haruhi Suzumiya,... | | |
