| 9:58am | The Repetition Of Haruhi Suzumiya | | | | Real Life is working me particularly hard these days. I anticipated this, and posted one of my two-posts-a-week early, but I am left with one more to go. I am afraid this is it.Unlike many other bloggers of the realm, I don't actually mind the endlessness of the eights that have been the theme of | | |
| 11:41am | Coming x Humming – Cute Kids And Pets | | | | Why do so many bishoujo games have a token cute animal (for varying degrees of "cute")? The Key anime adaptations featured theirs, with Piro in Kanon, Potato in Air, and Botan in Clannad. Nursery Rhyme has Azu, and Heart de Roommate had Toshibo. I first noticed this during the fake opening for the last... | | |
| 11:01am | The Orchestra Of Haruhi Suzumiya | | | | I admit that I'm not entirely certain what to think about hearing "Koi no Mikuru Densetsu" as played by the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra.There's something strangely compelling about listening to pop music, as in popular music that is of interest to the teeming masses, as played by an orchestra. Or a... | | |
| 4:48pm | K-On 12 – AAAAA MUGI | | | | You are killing me here. It is such a sweet death.I realize that there's something about a concert or some such, but other people have covered that in more detail than I feel like. I have but one gimmick, and I am going to milk that gimmick for all it is worth.Mind you, I'm well |
| 4:36pm | Sugar Rei | | | | I've not been keeping track of the zillions of spinoffs and merchandise coming out of the Evangelion franchise, especially since it appears to be approaching Transformers levels. The original series failed to entertain me, and I include End of Evangelion in this, but my senses for the franchise have... |
| 9:19am | Medaka Box – Tensai-dere | | | | I'm writing this post on my Eee PC, away from any wireless hotspots (in fact, I think this place actually inadvertantly blocks out Wireless@SG due to its construction). I'm also not feeling too well (update: fever of 38.5 degrees Celsius) and thus not thinking too clearly; I've forgotten a lot of details... |
| 10:19am | Ess Tee Ey Arr Ess | | | | I didn't really like Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, mostly due to it being targeted entirely outside my tastes. At best, I can say that I understand why people would like it, in much the same way I can say I understand why people like basketball or something, while the actual topic itself completely fails... | | |
| 11:57am | K-On 10 - The Country Where I Quite Want To Be | | | | I'm not the only one who keeps humming that upon discovery that Tsumugi spends her summer holiday in Finland, am I?Mugi's holiday adventures aside, I get the impression that her home life resembles one of the two extremes often seen in anime involving very rich ojou-sama types: in this case, the whole... |
| 1:40pm | Wolf Overspiced | | | | Spice and Wolf holds an odd place in my listing of Shows I Have Seen And Enjoyed. On the one hand, it has a lot of elements that would otherwise raise it to a Highly Recommended slot, shared by luminaries such as Princess Tutu. Horo is attractive, perhaps even cute, although in a more refined | | |
| 5:46pm | A Million Million Unlucky Heroines | | | | Recently I stopped by Kinokuniya to pick up the official English translation of the first The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya light novel, as well as Negima volumes 20 and 21 (translated by Del Rey, rather than the Chuang Yi Singapore version). Also, I picked up a not-very-good omnibus with three Hercule... | | |
| 3:16am | K-On 08 - Mugi-chan In A Maid Outfit | | | | Mugi-chan in a maid- wait, I think I’ve used this joke before.The focus of this episode is the introduction (but not yet the personality) of Azusa Nakano, the new first-year member of the light music club. This means that the band has been together for about a year after eight episodes, which is... |
| 2:16pm | Data Explosion | | | | Yes, I know. Trust me, with Card Captor Sakura, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, and Discworld, just assume that the news turns up quite punctually in my brain on the dot by some form of MAGIC.MoHS is an odd fandom to talk about. For one thing, it’s quite difficult to spoil the show, or rather... | | |
| 2:05pm | Third Persona Perspective | | | | Perhaps late to the much-vaunted party, but I have been very slowly working my way through Persona 3 FES. I didn’t exactly plan on it (I still have Freespace 2 to work on, courtesy of Good Old Games), but after spending a fruitless span of time attempting to articulate my thoughts on Spice and... |
| 5:01pm | K-On - Cloud Cuckoo Land | | | | Looking at the K-On girls’ popularity as seen from blog posts, it appears that Mio’s lead is still unchallenged, but there has been a growing contingent of fellow Mugi fans. Ritsu has a few die-hard supporters, albeit some who feel it necessary to proclaim Ritsu’s superiority by flinging... |
