| 5:22am | Fandom is doomed | | | | By Nomad (Brain the size of a planet and here I am ) OttoIn the not too distant future (by the end of this week), I’ll be headed out to France to work on the experiment which will make up my thesis. This will mean that I have a month of limited to no internet |
| 5:12am | A Little Something To Break The Monotony… | | | | By TheBigN I guess I’m finding that it takes a little out of me when I finish up doing the Impressions on a Year posts, since it’s been a while since I’ve posted here, even just for this blurb. There are posts ideas from me lined up, so you’ll see some actual content from... | | |
| 4:02am | Oh Father, where art thou? | | | | by Nomad (Buy Dapper Dan Haircream) OttoI was originally going to write something pointing a finger at the virgin/mother/whore trichotomy you find in a lot of work, even those things written by women. Then I realized that I don’t really have anything to SAY about it, other than “look, it’s... |
| 5:12am | Impressions on a Year 2008: Happy Action Fun Time | | | | By TheBigN Part 1: Interesting People Part 2: Awesome OP/EDs Part 3: Fun Phrases Part 4: Scintillating Soundtracks And so I finish with moments that made an impact on me in some way, shape or form. It makes me realize just how much has gone on this year that’s been interesting and fun to keep... | | |
| 5:51am | Impressions on a Year 2008: Scintillating Soundtracks | | | | By TheBigN Part 1: Interesting People Part 2: Awesome OP/EDs Part 3: Fun Phrases Unlike the openings and closings of anime this year, good standalone series soundtracks (that is, good in my subjective lack of taste sense) have been hard to find for me, which is a little sad. That said, there were some... | | |
| 5:05am | Impressions on a Year 2008: Fun Phrases | | | | By TheBigN Part 1: Interesting People Part 2: Awesome OP/EDs There are some phrases said that just stick in my memory long after they’ve been said in anime. Those or phrases that are interesting enough, absurd enough, thought-provoking enough, or awesome enough (the latter makes up the majority... | | |
| 5:05am | Impressions on a Year 2008: Awesome OPs/EDs | | | | By TheBigN Part 1: Interesting People This year was insane with the amount of anime openings and endings that I liked, and it was hard to narrow down the amount to a “reasonable” number so I didn’t really attempt to. But these ones here (coupled with Youtube videos) are the ones that... | | |
| 5:00am | Impressions on a Year 2008: Beginning With Interesting People | | | | By TheBigN I don’t know if I can do this next year, what with how the end of second year and the beginning of third year of med school (if I make it that far) goes. But more than about actually being able to see plenty of anime in 2009 is I’ll be motivated enough to keep track of stuff... | | |
| 9:30am | Sometimes, all you can do is say farewell | | | | I think it is a mistake to view ef - a tale of melodies as a sequel to ef - a tale of memories. Instead, I think the two series are best seen as a single work (like Omo, I am tempted to explore the games and the graphic novels, to see what they add to the five intertwining stories). That work tells... | | |
