Those who read my blog more or less regularly may have noticed a lack of updates in the previous week. With my previous posts, however, one can infer that I have not done so (posting) because I wasted my time playing DotA. That inference is, indeed, entirely correct. I have got so gut-busting lazy that […]

Like a maelstrom gaining steam my laziness has come back to haunt me. Recently, I had the lowest score in our laboratory exams in comparative anatomy: this may be sad, but I had a score of 9 out of 30. There’s a very relevant excuse as to why I failed so hard: I didn’t attend […]

Or an OVA, at the least.
I can’t read Japanese, but I feel that I just had to post about this: there’s probably a new Rozen Maiden season coming this winter. This makes me so excited. Since I couldn’t read Japanese, I must have taken this from somewhere. DarkMirage, or ThePaper, of Ramblings of Dark Mirage, […]

The main reason why I am lax this semester is that I’ve only made two goals: one is to ace History, and the other is to own at DotA (Defense of the Ancients) using Pugna. I’ve even slowly gotten notoriety because he has been the only hero I used since a long time ago. Sure, […]

Air Gear is supposedly a stupid anime. When I mean stupid, I mean it’s shounen-y, for teens and pre-teens, and doesn’t evoke thought at all. But stupid anime can move sometimes even more than blatant bathos of Kimi ga Nozomu Eien, for example.

I may be almost a week late, but it was confirmed by Wannabe-Fansubs that they will not fansub School Rumble anymore. Thanks to hayase for pointing that out. To be different from her, however, I won’t do a rendition of a Jose Rizal classic character (our national writer must be THAT good to be published […]

After coming from a difficult exam, wondering what to do with my life, I walked around our dormitory’s supposed parking-space and watched the starless night sky in the heavens juxtapose and seemingly absorb a mountain of leaves hanging from a tree. The sky was a dark hue of violet and blue, and its soft […]

I’m so tired of having takes on Honey and Clover II. It always just ends up to be another pathos-invoking and tear-jerking episode. It always just ends up to be another episode nothing short of a masterpiece. I don’t want to write any more on its class, its beauty, its masterful story and plot, because […]

This may have been a rare while, but for about two hours I studied (rote-memorized) selected muscles in the anatomy of a cat and read about thirty pages of history. I will definitely study more tomorrow, just because I don’t want to fail the incoming exam; I read history just because I wanted to. What […]

I didn’t love NHK ni Youkoso! at all. I liked it a lot though, as it had a poignant take on hikkikomori, but I didn’t even think I’d finish the series. That all changed with ep5, however. Other than H&C II episodes, it was among the best anime episodes I’ve seen in a while. (It’s […]
