| 8:43am | Mononoke Review - 86/100 | | | | This is going to be a difficult review, simply because I want to praise this series, but at the same time it suffers from being a continuation of the third story of the anime Ayakashi ~ Japanese Classic Horror: Bake Neko. In there, a Medicine Seller exorcises the ghost of a cat that haunts a local... | | |
| 8:06am | Mononoke - 12 | | | | I’m not sure what roastedpekingduck meant when he said that the creators ran out of budget for this episode. Sure, the build-up wasn’t as good as the first Bake Neko, but this episode provided a satisfying if not a bit predictable ending. It’s not the best episode of this series,... | | |

| 10:21am | So, Japanese tree hugging hippies wins the battle for the forest. | | | | EDIT BY MIKE (3:12 PM): This post was falsely accused of having been stolen by our AntiLeech plugin. The plugin has been ‘uninstalled’ (Bokurano music starting). Sorry, Animenano readers. :) From ANN - Miyazaki’s Group Raises 73 Million Yen to Save Forest On October 9, famed anime... | | |
| 10:50pm | Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind manga | | | | I’m not a prolific graphic novel reader, as the infrequency of the updates in this blog’s manga category will testify. As one of the first manga series I read to completion though, the in-print version of Miyazaki’s futuristic eco-fable left me stunned. Even after experiencing several... | | |
| 3:26pm | Recent viewing | | | | Just a memo of a few things that caught my eye in recent viewing. Starting from the most recent, Gonzo's new show Dragonaut is directed by Studio Torapezoid member Manabu Ono, so I was somewhat curious about it. The chief animation director is Tadashi Sakazaki, whom I remember for the boat chase in... | | |
| 9:33pm | Mononoke - 11 | | | | Whoa so everyone was hiding something! This story is probably the most horror-focused arc of the series with the arrival of yet another Bake Neko. I have no idea what the heck the Kotowari is supposed to be, and why the train-driver turned out to be the key-figure for this mystery, nor do I want to... | | |
| 8:54pm | Mononoke - 10 | | | | Whoa! Time-skip! The final arc of this series, consisting out of three episodes has finally started, and I’m pleasantly surprised by the setting: we see another Bake Neko, and the setting of the series has suddenly skipped about hundred years, to the industrial age. The medicine seller however... | | |
| 7:43pm | The hyperbole of Mononoke | | | | “Specter; spirit; ghost. Mononoke is a very old word, now rarely used, that describes spirits who actively haunt or pursue a person or place. Though the spirit need not be evil, it does have somewhat of a dangerous connotation.” Though it borders on pretentious, I’ve always wanted to... | | |
