| 11:16am | For the Love of Toshokan Sensou | | | | Just when I was about to go fangurl over Toshokan Sensou episode 8, Luppy posts an anti-Toshokan Sensou write-up orz. I need to be slapped for reading the entry and making myself all depressed For the love of Toshokan Sensou and for the sake of this post, I shall forget that ever happened and just... | | |
| 4:25am | Toshokan Sensou 08 |  | | | Summary: It turns out there are two factions in the LDF; there is Commander Inamine’s good guys faction which believes in letting people read scanlations through the use of SMGs, and there is the administrative faction (which is somehow related to the LFPG) which believes in filling out boring... | | |
| 3:17am | A untimely rambling sadomaschobiting return to the blogosphere |  | | | Considering the silent usurping by my other bloggers in my absence for 3 weeks, it feels THAT is still alive and kicking (49 comments on Macross: are you guys smoking weed on Sheryl and Ranka?). On the other hand of being alive and kicking, I have realized that I totally lost confidence in my ability... | | |
| 10:59am | Toshokan Sensou and LOL LOGIC |  | | | In the world ofToshokan Sensou, foliage stops bullets. I have a rule, called “Ridiculous Leap of Logic Rule” (RiReRoRu for convenience’s sake), that I use to judge TV shows and movies. If, in the course of watching a TV show or movie, I’m forced to make a leap of logic so great... | | |
| 6:56am | Toshokan Sensou - 08: Shibasaki Shines, Sister! | | | | It’s time for more angry action! I found this episode to be rather dull, especially when the old chaps were interrogating Iku and mostly when Tezuka’s bro (oh, shikes, he’s more disturbing than the dude that laughs freakishly) was talking about the Library Corps, etc. But... | | |
| 4:34am | [Rapidfire] Analytical Double Play: Halo characters and Kure-nai | | | | A quick discussion on two unrelated topics here, a concept I like to call ‘halo characters’ and a rant (albeit spoiler-free) on the status of Kure-nai through episode 9. It’s pretty much as is, so let me use this pre-jump space as a mini-shoutbox, a mini-rant within a mini-rant post.... | | |
| 2:24am | Library War – Episode 6 Review | | | | Super-awesome episode of Library War with Kasahara given a fetch quest to go on. Though, the episode made me feel bad that I haven’t read Fahrenheit 451 in such a long time.Rating: 12+/12 PerfectKasahara and Intstructor Komaki go to a book dealer to pick up a very special book that the book dealer... | | |
| 8:35pm | 5000 Episodes Down, 5000 to Go | | | | I finally it the 5000 mark of number of anime episodes, today. The episode that hit the mark was Toshokan Sensou episode 8, an excellent series. I think this awesome. I have been watching anime for almost 10 years now. It seemed to pick up when I got into fansubs back in 2005. If you like to see how... | | |
| 4:23am | Toshokan Sensou Zero Eight | | | | Cup Ramen. Irresistable. Or izzit, Doujou? Speedsubbing my arse, lol. Sorry for the undesired delays. I’m still busy with my assignment ( which I don’t think I’m going to finish it in time before the dateline. Oh wait, the dateline was yesterday. Damn. ). Gotta thanks XRayMind for these... | | |
| 2:04pm | A Little Robbin Hood Dilemma | | | | It was Memorial weekend here in the USA.[1] A time to honor, to reflect, to relish in historical fantasies riddled with ‘what if’s’. However, that time is reserved for those who have experienced the need for those very fantasies. I am not a part of that culture, of that generation, of... | | |
| 1:12pm | NICE BOOK - An Introduction | | | | Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu. Full Metal Panic. Shakugan no Shana. Kino no Tabi. Toshokan Sensou. What do these anime have in common? 1- They’re awesome 2- They’re popular 3- They’re anime adaptations of light novels. Ah yes, the wonderful medium of Japanese Light Novels. You may have... | | |
| 9:37pm | Toshokan Sensou: K505 | | | | For some reason I was quite surprised that they mentioned some actual literature in the anime.A novel based on “book cleansing” written by an American author around sixty years ago (I’m guessing relative to the anime’s time frame) Fahrenheit 451.451 degrees Fahrenheit = 506 degrees... | | |
| 2:16pm | Toshokan Sensou 07 |  | | | Summary: Asahina Hikaru claims to be researching libraries and the current administration, but uses his research as a way to hit on Asako. Asahina-san even comes up with some lame bet to get Asako to go to dinner with him, and although Asako didn’t agree to the bet, she is curious enough to... | | |
| 2:04pm | May Summary | | | | I noticed that this season, there are a lot of really good 13-episode series. Much more than usual. This trend seems to become more and more popular. In some cases, it’s unfortunate, because some series would be able to show their potential even more with 26 episodes. #23 (16) - Allison to Lillia... | | |
| 12:54pm | Toshokan Sensou / Library War (up to Episode 8) | | | | [Spoilers ahead] 1) It seems fair to say that this series focuses on storytelling instead of visual eye-candy. There is seldom any particular frame that stuns you with its beauty, but two such frames came at last at the end of Episode 8. These would not have been out of place in a Shinkai Makoto movie... | | |
