| 12:17am | A Second Season Has Left Me In Despair! |  | | | ANN confirms it: Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei will be getting a second season in early ‘08. The obvious responses to this are of course “lol when’d the first one finish?” and “SUBS?!” More SZS is definately awesome, though. Can’t wait to watch the second season... | | |
| 9:48pm | Series Synopses | | | | New feature here at Eternity, the Series Synopses page will hold quick summaries off all the shows I've completed, for those who want to research a series without spoiling themselves.Or for those who just want to argue about how I gave something a 4.75 / 5 instead of a 5 / 5.Hit the jump for the synopses.UPDATES:10/11/2007:... | | |
| 8:56pm | Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei 6 and 7 | | | | I’ve always wondered while watching this show what sort of background made Itoshiki the hopeless soul he is now and whether the unfortunate naming has affected other members of his family. Episode #6 went some way to explaining it all, which was nice. If you thought it was bad being a teacher... | | |
| 12:56am | 59. Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei (Anime) | | | | Raw image by Kouji Kumeta, SHAFT, no infringement intended.Summary: Itoshiki Nozomu (Nozomu is the first name, but when written down in Japanese kanji, the entire name literally reads: Despair) is the main character of this story, and he is just about one most the most emo-death-loving-wannabes out there.... | | |
| 9:26pm | Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei 4 and 5 | | | | This is one of those shows where summarising and commenting on things such as storylines is a bit futile. What there is of a storyline is steered by the humour, which is the opposite of pretty much everything I watch, comedy included. Still, these eps did succeed in making me laugh. A lot. Ask a silly... | | |
| 8:25am | First Impressions - Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei | | | | "Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei" or "So Long, Mr Despair" is a delightfully original and creative new show which embodies everything i loved about Ouran High School, Azumanga Dioh and The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, and mixes it up to present a rollercoaster ride of fun and a fresh look on life. Never... | | |
| 1:07am | Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei comparison video. And minor updates. | | | | A gem has shown up here. This video does a comparison of some of the more obscure (LOL TOSHIBA AD) references in Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei (SHAFT is teh love). I’m glad I got the TRICK one XD Oh, and to spread news of an event that has been much skipped over ^_^ Chuang Yi is holding another... | | |
| 4:13am | Oh hi |  | | | Well, I’m still alive, with this enormous laziness of me and lots of things in mind. I would like to “blame” my laziness as the only reason for my abscense, but that would be inaccurate and a big fat lie. I wish it was that easy, but anyway. Even when I have dropped some series, there’s... | | |
| 4:40am | Current Anime Series Popularity -- Japan vs. Abroad | | | | I'm taking the simplest possible method of judging how otaku in Japan and outside it grade the current shows: current number of threads on 2channel vs. number of posts on AnimeSuki. This is more an index of interest than approval, but it at least gives us some comparisons. Actual Japanese TV ratings... | | |
| 1:12pm | Lucky Star 16-17 | | | | I am so behind on things. In Gurren Lagann, Rossiu’s actions have caused a shitstorm on the boards I frequent. In Claymore, a couple of lukewarm episodes to start the Northern Campaign arc. There’s even episode 18 of this show already subbed by Guerrand. It seems that a.f.k. has dropped... | | |
| 1:23pm | Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei 3 | | | | This show is causing a.f.k. to slow down in releasing Lucky Star subs. Wait, I meant, Lucky Star is slowing a.f.k. down for this show’s releases. LS has gotten itself in a little shitstorm with one of the most blatant attempts at shameless self-promotion. More on that in another entry. Taken with... | | |
| 9:28am | Impressions of Summer ‘07: The fluffy buttered caramel popcorn |  | | | I was going to put “mass naked child events” instead of “first impressions” as the title but I figured it’d get me all types of wrong traffic. The following shows are basically what I’d like to call fluff, which is where the popcorn metaphor gets its name from. It... | | |
| 5:58am | There is no hope in this world, ONLY ZUUL | | | | Sayonara, Zetsubou Sensei is very very strange. It wins the biggest WTF prize of the year. Though I did not know what the crap was going on in at least half of the first episode, even with a nice a.f.k. translation, I still laughed like I meant it (hint: I did). The director, Akiyuki Shinbo, has done... | | |
| 4:46am | oh god how did i get here i am not good with bowing | | | | SO I was working on a big blog entry reviewing Wind ~a breath of tildes~ and got about a thousand words through it without actually saying a single word about the game itself. Right as I was about to dig in and actually summarize and review the game, I suddenly noticed that I needed to be in Japan.... | | |
