| 6:54pm | The climax of Cross Game: Aoba and her character | | | | Despite its target audience and simple drawings, Cross Game is one of the more complex series of the previous year, and one of the best ones at that. While the baseball parts are done tastefully, it’s with the interrelationships of the characters that this series really shines. Let’s take... |
| 3:44pm | Forging on | | | | I still have to control my fixations with archaic video games. I think it’s been going relatively well, but I’m still fixated with one video game system (Angelus knows, I believe). I also still have to improve upon my writing as a whole, seeing that peers of mine have adjudged a certain work... |
| 4:56am | Of unbearable unrequited loves: Tsubasa Cat – pt. 2 | | | | I wasn’t around when the hype machine for Bakemonogatari arrived, and I really just decided to watch the series out of admiration for Hitagi’s character design. Having said that, I do like it a lot, and am thinking more and more of it as belonging to my top ten series. The fourteenth episode... |
| 12:58pm | Planetes: selfishness leads to Jupiter | | | | In real life, I can say that I’m decent at best. I have my own quirks, and I’m not a very nice guy. If there’s anything I could be proud of, though, it’s that I’m no asshole. I don’t think I can have my cake and eat it too. I don’t live life under the |
| 3:11pm | Durarara – 04: love in the time of cholera | | | | I think I have been a romantic for quite some time. In fact, my top five anime revolves around love stories that have impressed upon me, whether they focus on the romance itself, or are only tangential to the main plot. When I saw the fourth episode of Durarara (I’m grateful gg returned to their... |
| 4:24pm | Durarara’s quincunx | | | | I wasn’t expecting anything from Durarara. I still don’t, because it’s still in its formative stages. But what I have seen simply oozes with both style and quality. The series is heavy with dialogue and characterization, something I am not averse to. The first episode did not blow me... |
| 9:03am | Executive Games: on time and technology | | | | I have been eBay free for two weeks now, something I am glad I finally accomplished (after some time). Back in December, however, I thought that purchasing another video game console was a nice Christmas gift to myself: I have been ogling over one of the earliest home video game consoles created, and... |
| 2:46pm | Alternatives to a plague of wish-fulfillment | | | | Ever since I obtained the Casio Loopy console I became privy to the reality of the possibility of getting the different video game consoles of yesteryear as long as I had the money. It was an epiphany that triggered a shopping spree that was neither merely petty obsession or impulse, but a maelstrom... |
| 11:51am | Sora no Otoshimono: a good anime, an excellent fanservice series | | | | The new year has come upon us, and another decade of quality and travesty anime has arrived. To me, however, it doesn’t seem to start with a bang. Rather, it has started rather innocuously and weakly, as the anime serving for this current season has been quite weak. Nevertheless, there are some... |
| 4:32am | The best anime of 2009 [my top anime of 2009] | | | | It’s that time of the year again, when, after we’ve seen the shows the year had to offer, we adjudge them upon their merits and critique them with their faults. It’s surely going to be different with every person, but here’s my personal top five (I’ve seen enough to write... |
| 4:05pm | No more Darker than Black season 3? That was THE END? | | | | There will probably be no Darker than Black Season 3, and Yin’s most probably dead, as assumed by the director:If this is true I’m going to be very disappointed. I thought the whole series was decent because it was going to be a set-up for season three. If this is the definitive ending to... |
| 1:53am | Darker than Black 2 explained: did Hei kill Yin? | | | | This is neither official nor sanctioned, but another interpretation from the arcana of the final episode of Darker than Black: Ryuusei no Gemini. I will not be like others, however, that will execrate BONES for their trolling, or curse them for what they have done to the franchise. I will simply try... |
| 12:34pm | Kara no Kyoukai – 5: watching a lesser Faulkner dancing | | | | The fifth film is clearly delineated into three arcs. It takes a while to get used to with the anachronism and the montage of images, but a rewatch resolves a lot. The fact that backgrounds blend with one another pertain to the swiftness of time that Tomoe experiences in the first arc: at one point,... |
| 4:46pm | DtB: Ryuusei no Gemini Episode 8 – What Misaki heard | | | | Playing the part where she listened to the recording again and again in a slower pace, I can figure out the words ‘anata dake ni kikoeru,’ more or less. This roughly translates to ‘And to only you I will listen.’ This ties in with the assumption that the contractor who can see... |
