I’ve finally come home, and that would explain why I’ve remained relatively quiet everywhere except here. Sadly, at my real home, we do not have an Internet connection; thus, I’m typing this entry up at an Internet cafe and only have limited and relatively shortened access to it. Anyway, at long last, the semester has […]

There have been a lot of people talking about Kanon or Death Note and it pains me that the anime that deserve mention this season have been kept under the radar for the most part, with many sub-groups over-subbing the said series. Kanon didn’t really get to me as much as Asatte no Houkou did, […]

Yes, I know I’ve been emo these past few posts, but that’s going to stop with this one. As you may have already known, the subs for the first episode of Bartender have been released by ADTRW. Initially, gleaning from the comments in AnimeSuki Forums, I thought it was going to be quite similar to […]

I’m going to act conceited and selfish once more, but kindly allow me to rant (once more) because my schooldays have gone increasingly vapid, and in a sense have become worthless to me. I know and recognize that I am in utmost danger from succumbing to the call of becoming a freeter, but circumstances in […]

I guess I’m killing my parents slowly. Yes, I’ve thought (and still think) I’m pretty smart, but that wasn’t entirely from my perspective: my parents until now think I’m a real genius incapable of failure if I tried hard enough. My teachers of yesteryears similarly think so, and my siblings think I’m some god that […]

Warning: a part of the post is blatant fanboying, so you could just skip that part.

For me it has been confirmed: Honey and Clover II is the best anime that came out this year. Although NHK ni Youkoso! is similarly well made, it has not finished yet: I will reserve my judgment for later. It may have taken me quite a while to watch the final episodes (and the one-week […]

The thirteenth episode of NHK ni Youkoso! for now seems to be the pinnacle of this series. It became a visual short story interwoven with many pastiches of meaning as well as reflections on human nature put into play from the interactions of the characters subsumed in this series.

‘The Carrier has arrived.’
This is a quote excised from a powerful air unit in Starcraft (an aged game), and just to hear this quote would often mean the team’s rebirth or a win. Aside from the Battlecruiser, this unit along with its Interceptors just decimated everything in its path, and an army of this unit […]
