Yes, I’m still watching the series though my resolve to blog it is so really easily chattered. The series kind of went downhill for me because there has been nothing really happening story-wise. I’m also getting sick of Itsuki. Spewing kindness around to random human and ghosts makes him so unhuman.
But #13 is different. It’s about Honami and Addie! In their loli forms! Winnage! We also get some character development: Addie has been a bitch since then, and Honami’s strong resolve was due to the fact that she screwed up so bad before. All in all, nice animation and little conflict they build here in this episode.
My name is Adilicia Lenn Mathers, descendant of King Solomon. The only thing I can say now is “Forneus” (damn you lazy animators), but that doesn’t stop me from being an arrogant bitch. Continue reading “Rental Magica #13″
It’s kind of late to say this, but happy new year! Let’s enjoy anime/manga/Japanese media together this year again. ^_^ Continue reading “Random Bits #7″
Darkmirage blogged recently that Crypton sent Cease & Desist letter to a doujin circle that was trying to sell overpriced Hatsune Miku and Kagamine Rin dakimakura.
He purported that the dakimakura can be categorized as a mere bootlegger’s attempt to reap cash from the VOCALOID boom. As far as I understand his idea, CLOCK☆HEARTS is rightly served because it deviates from “the spirit of fan creations” by marketing, with an incorrect intention, products that lack creativity.
I don’t like the dichotomy of “good” and “bad” doujin activity he introduced. Here’s why… Continue reading “Crypton’s Cease and Desist Letter: My View”
A little known fact about the FSMism is that the Church has been well established in Japan since as early as 2001. Moreover, Tanaka Rie had a stint as a nun in a Pastafarian convent even before Bobby Henderson made the faith’s existence known to Americans in 2005.

Seems like I’m suffering from Hiatus Disease. Yeah, your job can make you become a lazy blogger, especially one where you have to multitask. Continue reading “Random Bits #6″
This episode is material-heavy. We learned that Itsuki’s eye turned into what it is today when he, led by Honami, entered a haunted house created by spirit wave contamination. They were chased by a translucent blob. Anime cliche #54 dictates that Itsuki the boy must protect the girl who will so love him in the future by diverting danger from her to himself, and that resulted in his right eye turning ugly. The irony has it that the girl felt so guilty that she became an expert magic user just so that she can protect him instead. (This last part might not be a cliche though. I have not seen it before.)

Clannad #2
Clannad #2 was so good I could not imagined how an episode can be this good. Both the comedy and the drama are so intense, and KyoAni juxtaposed them without making me feeling awkward. Things I like about the episodes are: Continue reading “Clannad #2-#3″
Rental Magica’s premise is, like, my cup of tea: shounen actions with lots of cute girls, and the girls do have massive firepower. Now, add sorcery, familiar beasts, and rocket broomstick, and it should be just plain win. However, the first episode didn’t impress me that much. Continue reading “Rental Magica #1″
After much anticipation on my part, Clannad starts strong. The pacing, the comedy, and almost everything is about right. I have nothing to complain, obviously. Continue reading “Clannad #1 Looking Good”
