| 12:54pm | Nodame Cantabile (Live-Action Drama): Gyabo~~! Inspiring! | | | | Let us cry. I finished the Live-Action Drama version of Nodame Cantabile a while ago (a few hours, actually), and I didn’t realize that this series also fell under the “shoujo” catergory after stumbling across Wikipedia (midnightrose’s favourite site). So I might have said that... | | |
| 1:54am | animenext 2008 day 1 |  | | | Yeah, that sucked. Then again, cons suck and anime sucks. Well, maybe the former much more than the latter, but I was tempted to respond in kind when we were waiting on the prereg line and the ganguro behind us said to someone who wanted to take her picture, “I hate anime! I’m just dressed... | | |

| 8:17pm | Nodame Cantabile is mega-awesome |  | | | I remember when I first started watching the anime version of Nodame Cantabile and had these skyhigh expectations on the show for some reason. I hadn’t heard of the manga at the time and didn’t know anything about the characters but I had visions of a story filled with sweet romance and... | | |

| 1:43pm | and now an actual comparison of the nodame cantabile manga | | | | After writing my post on sound in Nodame Cantabile, I managed to find the scans of the Rachmaninov concert. My guess was basically correct, but with a few important manga-specific points that I had missed since I wasn’t actually reading the manga. Here’s the series of pages for the first... | | |

The reason that I can’t back this up is because I haven’t read a page of the manga. I do know that the manga is a critical and popular success, but the manga... | | |

| 6:45pm | Follow-up on “What Ivy League school students seemingly learn about manga” | | | | Dear Matt, first of all, I feel unable to express my gratitude for replying to my criticism. You even managed to surpass the length of my posting by 200 words, and it goes without saying that you addressed many interesting points that I could never possibly have in the one hour of lunch break I spent... | | |
| 6:45am | Kimikiss - Final Impressions | | | | What was broken with Kimikiss? Kouichi’s entire storyline. Going into Kimikiss I had no expectations. Even while it was airing I avoided pretty much any mubling about it because I knew that I was going to plow through it once it was completed. In a sense I was watching it for the first time like... | | |
