| 10:57am | Shigofumi 10 - People Die When They Are Killed | | | | Ah, this is what I’m talking about. This is the Shigofumi I love. While last week’s departure from the dark melodramatic tone that has become the show’s norm wasn’t particularly bad (I found it pretty amusing at times), this episode is what I consider a return to form. Some people aren’t... | | |
| 4:58am | The week in anime (March 5-11, 2008): Hints of “White” | | | | Salutations, blogonauts. Time for me to come out of the woodworks and write something. Primarily because, hell, bro-ham (koneko) is giving me hell about it. Anyway, this is going to be the first of (hopefully) a weekly segment for me regarding a recap of the anime that I had time to see during the... | | |
| 12:40am | Middle of Nowhere |  | | | While I’m at it, guess I should blab a bit. School has been busy busy as always. Trying to cut back on the number of shows I’m watching. As always. The winter season is almost over, I suppose? I wish I could say the same about the actual seasons. Kaiji is nearing its end. At some point... | | |
| 8:00am | Shigofumi ~ Stories of the Last Letter - 10 | | | | This episode featured a regular case again, and boy, was it a great one! Basically, a guy hears from his doctor that he only has a very limited time left to live, and he ends up spending time with a naive little girl. The creators did a wonderful job of bringing the guy and his anxieties to live.... | | |
| 8:00am | Shigofumi 08 | | | | Well, that was dissappointing. I wanted this episode to end with a bang as JUSTICE is served. But it went the mellow route. :\ Still, I will continue to watch intently. | | |
| 10:47pm | Shigofumi - 10 |  | | | Hey, you’re not Fumika.and stop poking that bird! | | |
| 9:22pm | Arusu the Adventure - 04 | | | | A small announcement, in case you will be wondering: the next episode of Shigofumi and Shion no Ou will be delayed for about a day, as I’ll be too busy for anime tomorrow and some share-users decided to upload fake raw-versions again In any case, this was definitely the best episode yet, because... | | |
| 8:00pm | Shigofumi - Chiaki Actually Has An Amazing Back-Story |  | | | I was really impressed with this episode, so much that I’m doing a post on it when I don’t normally, at least not for every episode. I really have to say that before this episode I wasn’t really a big fan of Chiaki. I found her quite annoying and I didn’t think she really added much to show.... | | |
| 7:22pm | Shigofumi - 10 |  | | | Summary:On the way to a relative's house, a young girl named Fumika pauses to poke a dead bird on the road. | | |
| 5:05am | Shigofumi: Oh, What Fun! Now We Have Split Personalities! | | | | I don’t really know why, but half of Shigofumi is sort-of fluffy and light, and the other half is deeply disturbing. Frequently in the same episode. And that is, of course, why I like it so much. Episode 8 dealt with the emotional trauma inherent in child abuse. Split personalities are a very... | | |
| 11:50am | Weekly Round-Up: March 7th | | | | Sometimes I just can’t help being evil; telling children about the slaughterhouse whilst they’re playing Harvest Moon, persuading them that complete Iliana rings can just be mined straight out of the earth, arguing that Albel is HARD GAY for Fayt- is there nothing I won’t do? Then again, sometimes... | | |
| 5:00pm | Shigofumi 8 - You Give Writing A Bad Name |  | | | So we get Fumika’s origin story. Is it possible for an episode to have both visceral, emotional power and be so outlandish (and still unexplained in crucial points) that one is torn as to whether to give this a good or bad review? No, I haven’t forgotten the parallel with the show’s first... | | |
| 1:24pm | Shigofumi 8 - ハジマリ |  | | | The penny drops[Short Summary]Last episode, Fumika was shot by Kirameki. Kirameki gets his ass whooped by Kaname and ends up locked in a room to cool off. Meanwhile Fumika proceeds to spill the beans on her past, wrapping up quite a few loose ends nicely.[Overall Impression]Wow.Mulitple personality... | | |
