Urgh gawd how the ending was horrible and not-appealing. True Tears (the anime which decided to be an adaptation off a Visual Novel of the same name and thought it’d be a nice idea to have a new set of characters and plot…) is the first ever anime I feel to have been a complete disaster and the most failed anime of all time (gotta stop doing that…bwahaha).
It’s February 1st if you almost forgot. And in anime otakon terms, it has officially been a month in the Winter Anime season of 2009/10, meaning all the season’s top anime are currently in their 4th, 5th or 6th episode in the airing, while the carried on over series from fall, spring and long running series in whatever week they’re in (hehe). So what better to do as I believe to be appropriate, is to make a post about how I’ve felt about how each anime airing in this season (what I’ve picked up of course) has progressed and made comments on it…in formal letter form of course. Please note that this post will be text heavy. Oh and, mangas I’m currently following will also randomly be included.
Don’t worry, it’s a GUY (for those suspicious about the above image). No words to explain how super awesome and hilarious this episode is. Despite no new character arrivals, Baka Test episode five will surely brighten up your utmost depressing and stressful day (for those like me, that is…). But anyway, here’s my full summary of Baka Test Period Five.
Just so you know, the annual International Saimoe League (ISML I’ll call it) is back once again in its third year of international running of 2010! Where all the most popular and more importantly, moe anime girls battle it out, to see who’ll win the tournament and take hold of the Heavenly Tiara. How it’ll be accomplished, is by every internet otaku inhabitant (or NORMAL people) to simply fill out a voting form and submit it on the voting arena page in the official ISML website.
The first round of the preliminaries has just concluded today (1st Feb) at 3pm GMT, with the results being developed right at the moment this post is published, while the second round taking place tomorrow (2nd Feb). Fate of Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha took the very first crown in 2008, while Hina (YESSSS) of Hayate no Gotoku! took the second just last year. Heck knows who’ll win this year, as the voting system has been revised to be more simpler and fairer, more participants taking part after gaining their moe status just last year (you know what I’m talking about), this years gonna be a big one I bet.
So get your ass over to ISML’s official site now and start voting for your favourite anime shojo characters!
* Well, not right now since the first round is over and the next round starts tomorrow at 3pm GMT… blah tuts
Ps. This post was originally going to be published yesterday, or in other words, 31st January 2010. However., due to internet problems and WordPress bullying me and not quick-saving the draft inb4 crash, I had to start all over again the next day with a totally different and rushed type of reminder-ing post…FML
Pss. Yes, the opening image is who I’ve voted for in the first preliminary round. Muahahahaha~
Oh how I knew this day would come~ Just making this episodic post all in the name of Index-sama. Rising from just appearing at lightning speed in the new OP, Index -fatefully- yet again makes a guest appearance -WITH ACTUAL DIALOGUE- in the recent ACTUAL EPISODE!1 Oh how this has totally made my day.
I recently stumbled upon the first three DVD volumes of Ghost in the Shell: SAC and the Ghost in the Shell Movie in my house, and totally realised that I haven’t actually came to watch any of them. I was put off from Ghost in the Shell many years ago due it having a REALLY complex and confusing plot and what’s it all about, but now ageing older and older, I feel now I can understand the concept a bit more.
So here’s the question; should I watch Ghost in the Shell or not? Is it any good? Nice plot development? Somebody give me a basic outline of the series? Gahh so many questions… And no don’t go and say to Google or Wiki it, as I have attempted both methods and the plot summaries for both show some strange and discerning vocabulary and grammar that I don’t really see in this day and age. But yeah, can anybody help out…please? Really would appreciate it.
Ah, on a different note, just finished downloading Tales of Earthsea and Cencoroll, maybe I’ll watch them on Tuesday when my mother and father are out for the whole day. Heh heh heh… Oh and maybe even La Maison en Petits Cubes as I have an All Access Membership on Crunchyroll. Oh the wide range of possibilities…
Well that’s all from me now. G’day and g’night for all.
Ps. 50K!!!
70% of idle chattering, 20% action scenes, 6% witty comedy, 2% romance, the last 2%? Well, leave that for your imagination. If you’ve enjoyed the dialogue-heavy Bakemonogatari (anyone know when ep14 comes out?) with its pointless screentime of time-wasting conversations, then Katanagatari is surely going to be your side course as, not only but the original light novels written by the same author of Bakemono, but also retains the traditional useless long convos no humans could ever keep up talking, AND to increase the blabber time, each episode is virtually 50 MINUTES LONG! See if you can keep up with that. Sadly though, this isn’t done by Akiyuki Shinbo’s legion at Shaft like Bakemono, but by newcomers to the Anime studio industry White Fox, known for their first independent project Tears to Tiara.
Little Hi-jack Note: Been frequently busy with RL and elsewhere on the net, meaning I have not much time to update and post to this blog. Apologies for any inconveniences (if there is any that is…) and Baka Test episodic summaries will be posted as usual (if I have the time that is…).
Nothing much really happens in this episode. No ESBs, no character development (a little, I guess), no sense of contribution to the main plot at that. But still pretty much awesome for its hilarious boke comedy and slap stick soft violence…haha. Click the jump to carry on reading.
Ahh the nostalgia… It’s been a while (9 months actually) since I’ve watched remotely a single episode of K-ON! after its first broadcast run. As for the cunningly announced second season to debut later this year (Spring most likely) a special specially packaged with the last DVD/BD volume of the first series sounds quite nice to carry on the moé-blob legacy. Call me a Keion-fag, but to be truthful I actually enjoyed watching the series and this special. Sure the marketing campaign and the craze for it is a little over-the-top and its a tad overrated… but I guess everyone has their own tastes…
Setting aside the ESBs as Class F is unable to declare one for 3 months, prior to their loss against Class A in the previous episode… Yoshii, Mizuki and Minami altogether decides to go the cinema to watch some movie on Yoshii’s suffering allowance, while Shouka and Yuji -handcuffed- go together as well, while planning to watch a three hour movie, TWICE (as promised with Shouka’s request in the previous episode).
