Living up to my name with the obligatory Mai Waifu post
If you’re reading this, you should already know that I’m a moe fan. As a proud newfag Not Oldfag, I don’t see anything wrong with fluffy VNs and pointless harems. However, as most moe fans know, it’s not quite as easy to creat...
If you don’t want to be protected, then I don’t want to be served
I like maids. You like maids too, right? We all like maids. Everyone likes maids. There’s nothing wrong with that, as far as anime fandom goes. But sometimes, the whole goshujin-sama concept can be a little…disconcerting. No, this isnR...
Moé and the Land of Escapism: The Reality Factor
(Part of the Australia project; I’ll respond when I get back) It’s very, very hard to get a good picture of Rika. It all began while I was rewatching Honey and Clover. It’s a beautiful show, really, and I can guarantee that I’...
Episodics, and my qualm with them
Picture is vaguely relevant because I always figured Konata could make a decent aniblogger. Before you say it, this isn’t another editorial vs episodic debate: those have been done countless times before I entered the ’sphere, and they...
Clannad - Why I Love It, and why it’s probably more than you think
Clannad: the viusal novel about family. We’ve all at least heard of it, many of us are watching it, and a few of us had the pleasure of playing the original 50+ hours VN. By this point, it’s hard for one to call Clannad cliche, or to accu...
What’s in a Name? Ramblings on the Mystery of Internet Handles
Chaos;Head is relevant, sorta. Internet communication (as previously covered by a few of us) is something that is both very old and very new to me, ranging from miscellaneous tweets to the massive essays we get on some editorial blogs. However, wheth...
5 Centimeters Per Second Re-Watch: A Bittersweet Analysis of a Bittersweet Tale
Makoto Shinkai’s latest masterpiece was a short film that provoked lengthy discussions - discussions about childhood romance, the definition of love, and the use of melodramatic backdrops and sunlight to heighten the impact of a story. However,...
A New Year’s Introspection…of sorts
I say “of sorts” because, from the reading I’ve been doing around the ’sphere, my introspection has already been done. No, it’s not like I wrote the post in advance - I have a bad habit of leaving blog posts until I actu...
The Internet and Communication: Socializing from the Comfort of a Laptop
Yes, I’m aware that she isn’t using a laptop, and no, I don’t know who she is. A mere day after Christmas, Owen wrote something on what he saw as a damaged social life - how the internet changes the way we interact with people, and ...
⑨ Moments of Anime #1: ef - a tale of melodies ep 6
And here we are: the final day. Did you really think I would pick anything else? After going on about it endlessly after it first aired, and after taking days to recover from the effects of a mere 22 minutes of animation, this was the one moment that...
⑨ Moments of Anime #2: Clannad ep 22 (and a little holiday bonus)
That was definitely me last year… The second-to-last Moment of Anime…what a fun time it has been. Counting down the year’s most exciting scenes (or gifts, as the original idea goes), tossing together a list of said scenes at the las...
⑨ Moments of Anime #3: Code Geass R2 ep 21
The day the world went “WTF!?!?” Code Geass has been a lot of things. From brilliant to disappointing, shocking in a “I didn’t see that coming” sort of way to shocking in a “…….screw you, Sunrise”...
⑨ Moments of Anime #4: Kimikiss pure rouge ep 24
I didn’t use a more self-explanatory picture just to be on the safe side, but be warned: spoilers ahead. Much like my opinion of True Tears as mentioned in my last post, Kimikiss proved itself as far more than a typical VN adaptation, except th...
⑨ Moments of Anime #5: true tears ep 06
True Tears was an excellent series, blurring the line between visual novel and shoujo - much like KimiKiss - and delivering a heart-pounding love story with elements familiar to both genres. Defying all laws of harem (and apparently defying the origi...
Toronto Otaku/Blogger Meet, ACG, and other things
As you might have heard, a few of the locals recently held a meetup at a nearby restaurant; the purpose, of course, being to help like-minded people meet one another. You can find more coverage at the blogs of the other two blogger attendees, Rin and...
⑨ Moments of Anime #6: Mnemosyne no Musume-tachi
If I put a picture more fitting with the tone of the series, it would probably contradict everything else about the blog. Surprised? Though I’m usually not one to enjoy the general shounen/seinen genre, anywho who watched the 6 episodes of Mnem...
⑨ Moments of Anime #7: Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu ep 01
Not so much a precise moment as an overall experience, the first episode of this bizarre yet heartwarming little romance/comedy marked the beginning of what would become one of my favourite anime of the summer, and what has since become a far more me...
⑨ Moments of Anime #8: H2O - Footprints in the Sand ep 08
Remember this one? That crazy episode, right when things were getting good, where we were tossed into almost a full 22 minutes of mahou shoujo and other general nonsense that had absolutely nothing to do with the situation at hand? Well, I remember i...
⑨ Moments of Anime #9: Da Capo II Second Season ep 12
So, I’m a little more than a little late to the party, but it’s better late than never, right? Organized by CCY of Mega Megane Moe (and apparently related to the ABC?), I’ll be doing my part to contribute to this little event known ...
