I’m not dead - not yet.

Monday, September 25th, 2006

Despite my efforts to study assiduously for an exam (to the extent of abnormally giving a whole week so I could properly prepare for it) I didn’t even get a decent score when compared to the time I’ve studied. It really just enervates one; yet it would have been alright had it not happen to […]

After Haruhi … (hopefully) Onigiri ever after …

Tuesday, September 19th, 2006

Persistence really does pay off. After an anal amount of patience despite being constantly and consistently disappointed by Haruhiists and Haruhism, I finally managed to finish The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya – and what can I say – it was pretty good.

Yes, in case you’re wondering, they ARE holding hands.
I delight in reading the NHK manga, but it is in episodes like ep9 which offer some form of alternate storytelling and more fleshing out (compared to the manga) which also make me delight in watching the anime. It’s quite refreshing seeing broken people try to give […]

Want to stay awake for a whole night?

Compared to Jisatsu Circle’s images, this image is of a vast, airy, idyllic landscape populated by beautiful birds and containing a scenery that is magnificent and coruscating with sunlight’s bountiful brightness.

Coffee can only do so much.

On manga migration and ‘perfect’ anime endings

Sunday, September 10th, 2006

I finally found myself a great Rei picture that has her smiling and having fun. Oh, if only Rei were like this - but at least there’s something to expect with Rebuild, right?
This is the problem when you lack disk space. Eventually, because of the lack of things one watches, one writes sparsely and without […]

At last, there’s another Evangelion.

Sunday, September 10th, 2006

I’m pretty happy that Gainax decided to milk the now-drying Eva enterprise one more time with their planned release of films that present the world of Evangelion in an alternate universe. Though I do know that great stories are timeless, cinematic techniques as well as animation do age, and with this remake, it will probably […]

There are two reasons why one should read Natsu no Arashi:

I just noticed that Akismet spam likes to eat cebukitty’s comments. I’m sorry for the other people who posted and yet don’t have their comments posted; I don’t approve or disapprove the comments, but sometimes the spam blocker eats up spam wrongly. I don’t even moderate comments, honestly.

GOTH

Monday, September 4th, 2006

This manga is seriously entertaining and fucked-up; it, however, also has hot shoujos and shounen - and death is a pervading theme. 
I read the NHK manga in disparate reading binges done in two days. While reading the manga, I saw one manga chapter containing the advertisement for a manga called GOTH. Hoping that I could […]

School Rumble Nigakki episodes 20 to 22

Sunday, September 3rd, 2006

It’s the first time in quite some time that I’ve lounged around watching anime and doing nothing else. It’s a great feeling; it’s somewhat a reminiscence of things past, of things that once were. However, I may have lounged around too much: I think I need some etidronate to counteract the pain I feel in […]
