| 2:26pm | True Tears Is a What? | | | | [Okay, so wordpress just ate the ‘finished’ version of this post and spit back at me the revision prior to completing, so I lost maybe 2-3 paragraphs worth of blargh. Which is disturbing why it happened. Sigh. Anyways, here’s as much of it as I can recollect.] I think I got True Tears,... | | |
| 12:05am | A Smooth Landing | | | | Regardless of one’s opinion of True Tears, it’s hard to deny that it was a unique take on an otherwise tried and true formula. I suspect it’s for that reason that reaction to the show has generally been positive, bitterness on the part of Isurugi Noe fans notwithstanding. Typically,... | | |
| 8:36pm | Yukana -- Great Voice, Strong Pheromones | | | | Yukana is both an outstanding seiyuu and a controversial personality. Her voice has great range, from Cure White in Precure Max Heart to Dominura in Simoun, and from Mashiro in Mai-Otome to C.C. in Code Geass. Recently, she seems to be centring on roles that are like her: strong, sexy, and mature.She... | | |
| 4:53am | Moenetics: The Rise of the Sophisticated Moe Series | | | | Post to be broken up with ridiculously huge images, as is my tradition for longer essays, because otherwise there’s a huge wall of text and no one likes walls of text, least of all me, so you can either stay for the text or just stare at pretty pictures for a few minutes. Either way, you’ll... | | |
| 7:52pm | Porfy no Nagai Tabi - 13 | | | | Oh my god. I knew what was going to happen! I freaking knew that Christopher and Aneke were about to die! And yet this episode was so gut-wrenchingly sad. Seriously, this episode was absolutely incredible, and Porfy no Nagai Tabi has without a doubt become the best series of the season, even though... | | |
| 8:58pm | 49 New Anime: preview, staff, cast, story, pic | | | | As usual, what looked like a poor season is actually shaping up to have a number of interesting shows. Nothing so far looks like an instant classic, but there are always surprises. And with 49 shows (including OVAs), there could be plenty of surprises.Hirano Aya returns to anime in a big way, starring... | | |
| 8:38pm | True Tears - 13 | | | | And so it has ended. We finally know who Shinichiro ends up with, though I’ll refrain from mentioning her in the first paragraph in order to avoid spoilers showing up in the blog-aggregators. I can’t say that this was the best episode of the series, but that’s only natural. In the... | | |
| 9:40pm | DVD Releases for April 08! |  | | | Well I’ve kinda been busy skating and whatnot so I am posting irregularly. Once school starts back up on Monday i will have more posting for you guys (because i will be so bored)! Anyway, here they are, your DVD releases for April of 08: 04-01-2008 Appleseed Ex Machina HD DVD (of 1) Warner Home... | | |
| 3:35am | true tears: THUD. | | | | I certainly didn’t see THIS coming. Time to play Armchair Therapist again! First, a list of Bad Things that have happened to Noe: * Shin’ichiro apparently abandoned her for Hiromi * Her brother, Jun, confessed romantic love for her (This one came from completely out of left field in one... | | |
| 10:30am | Shion no Ou - 22 | | | | God this series is over at last. Endings like this one always have a certain air of predictability. Shion was bound to win, Hani-meijin would definitely end up arrested, and there’d also be a pretty good chance that Shion would get her voice back in the end. And THAT’s exactly where the... | | |
| 2:35am | true tears: The Rising Tide of Sorrow | | | | Isn’t that post title cool? I don’t know what it has to do with anything, but it’s cool! It struck me, or, rather, struck me for the eleventh time, while watching this episode that true tears is an incredibly complex show. The characters are all extremely complex, as I’ve mentioned... | | |
| 7:54pm | True Tears - 10 | | | | With this episode, the zig-zagging of Shinichiro’s feelings is definitively over, and he’s finally chosen. I must say, that this has been one of the best harems I’ve seen. The director of Simoun has really shown that even a harem can turn out great with the right development. I still... | | |
| 9:00am | Tuesday Rumble: March 4th | | | | Simoun DS As we’ve seen recently, there’s a game for everything, but that doesn’t mean that we don’t have room for more. One significant omission is a Simoun game for DS, a combination of dating sim and action game. You take on the role of a young sibylla who has just been assigned to Chor Tempest;... | | |
| 9:00am | Simoun | | | | In the country of Simulacrum, gender is not something you are born with- instead you must choose it by visiting the Spring in your seventeenth year. For those who have not yet chosen, however, a sacred duty awaits- the chance to become a sibylla and ‘pray to the sky’ within the vehicle known as... | | |
