| 4:16pm | Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 (End) |  | | | Chaos. It is always nice to be surprised by such a seemingly boring anime, which turns out to become one of the best shows of the summer season. Not to repeat myself on what I’ve said in my previous impressions of this anime, I’ll just focus a little... | | |
| 4:27am | Taishou Yakyuu Musume: Thoughts So Far |  | | | So, as this current anime season in Japan comes to a close, there have been a large amount of series that I’ve been watching that have been damn enjoyable. The interestingly epic combo (Bakemonogatari with SHAFT x NISIOISIN), the action-packed adventure (CANAAN), the juggernaut from last season (... | | |
| 12:24am | The Good, The Bad, and the Moe: Summer 2009 Anime Rankings | | | | 17 different shows from the summer ‘09 anime season, analyzed and ranked from the bottom up. Disclaimer: These rankings are purely a reflection of our own opinions and tastes, which are admittedly rather different from your average anime fan. Just because we don’t like a particular show... | | |
| 10:45pm | Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 Episode 11-Final Episode |  | | | There’s a lot of crying in this episode. Booo There really is, especially in the first half. I do have to give the show kudos for a realistic portrayal of depression. It’s interesting to see Mirai start to pull herself out of it, and Mari’s role in that. I was also pretty excited to see that... | | |
| 9:09pm | Miscellaneous anxiety | | | | As I said on twitter, I feel very anxious right now, and in an attempt to identify the cause of this unrest, I thought I felt the necessity of updating this blog. Maybe it’s that, maybe it’s not. I’m not posting because there have been little updates, but because there’s this... | | |
| 1:54pm | Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 – 11 – Series Review |  | | | And life continues on Episode Thoughts – There are some pretty hard scenes to watch as the show is coming to a close, but without a doubt the pinnacle of this episode for me is the slideshow of Yuuki growing up. The whole final words of adieu from Mirai thanking Yuuki for being born as her... | | |
| 3:49am | Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 | | | | This moment was felt. Not a review, not a final thought, just some thoughts Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 was a dramatic ride over the course of 11 episodes, and having finished the series, I can say it was worth the experience. Much of the final story was focused around Yuuki1; he became a centerpiece in the... | | |
| 12:00am | Conflicting Emotions on Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 (episode 10) | | | | It became difficult to be ‘really present’ emotionally for the truly powerful scene when Mirai and her mother are reunited The scene itself depicted a strong conflict within Mirai: between the joy, sorrow, and relief of reuniting with her mother; her mother’s cascade of emotions... | | |
| 6:12pm | Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 - Episode 11 (Completed) | | | | Come the end of the last episode of Tokyo Magnitude 8.0, Mirai had finally come to realise the truth about Yuuki's death - I'm sure it goes without saying that such a revelation would be difficult for anybody to handle, and thus of course much of this episode is taken up with Mirai's struggle to come... | | |
| 9:57am | Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 Review - 92,5/100 | | | | One thing I love about watching anime is that sometimes, there are these series that come from absolutely nowhere and blow you away. Tokyo Magnitude is one of those series. It’s based on a “what-if” scenario: what if modern-day Tokyo were to be hit by a massive earthquake? This... | | |
| 8:54am | Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 - 11 | | | | Haha! Another show with a very satisfying ending. This episode was bittersweet, and I think that everyone who managed to keep his/her suspense of disbelief is going to find it an excellent conclusion. In this episode, Mirai comes to terms with what happened to Yuki, she meets her parents, and attempts... | | |
| 11:44pm | Sep.17/2009 Small Talk | | | | - It seems like there was no PV for Kuuchu Branko in the last episode of Tokyo Magnitude 8.0. I was hoping that they would include the next program's PV but too bad. Next week, there will be Eden of the East movie special program and apparently there.. | | |
| 1:48am | Nihongo Speech Files #1: On ‘Lettting Go’ | | | | Not quite anime/manga related, but I thought I’d share this anyway. This is not the first Nihongo speech I delivered in the office, but since this is the most ‘ready for posting’, I decided to have this published first Lengthy Intro LISTEN TO MY SPEECH We have this ‘daily Nihongo... | | |
