Well, now that I’m finally done watching Kanon, I can give a review of the whole series. Just to warn you, spoilers are ahead.
Story
17-year old Yuuichi Aizawa has just returned to a town he used to visit in his childhood to stay with his cousin and his aunt. However, Yuuichi has completely forgotten anything that [...]

I’m posting fairly early in the day today, since I won’t be available later today. I’ll be back tomorrow afternoon, though.
Last night, I saw Gurren Lagann on the Sci-fi Channel. Back when it first came out in Japan, I saw the first four episodes, but I was, admittedly, not that impressed. Anyway, the episodes being [...]

Well, as I said, I’m going to be writing one post per day this month, just because I feel like I’ve been neglecting this blog a bit.
So, earlier today, I heard about this site:

It’s almost definitely bogus, but you could still take a test or two for funsies. I mean, I don’t really think your [...]
Kanon Volume 6 Delayed
Posted in Anime, tagged ADV, Anime, Funimation, Kanon, Kanon volume 6, Key, Visual Arts on July 25, 2008 | 2 Comments »
For reasons currently unknown, the final volume of Kanon has been delayed indefinitely by ADV. I hear it’s going to be picked up by Funimation, but I don’t know much about the details. Needless to say, I am rather annoyed by this news, but what can you do. Hopefully the last volume will get a [...]

When I went to the local Best Buy last week, they didn’t have Kanon volume 6, which was a shame, but I will review the entire series when (a)I find it at BB or Rasputin or some place or (b)I get desperate enough to buy it online. For now, Lucky Star volume 2.
Episode 5: The [...]

Sorry for not posting anything for so long… My only excuse is, well, laziness. I was going to write this last night, but I was too busy watching British telly and Food Network.

OK, I haven’t really been watching much lately, except the stuff that comes on Adult Swim on Saturday nights. All I [...]
My Reflections on Fanime ‘08

It was a few days ago now, but I will try to recall the events of Fanime. Where to begin? I’ll start with Saturday, since I didn’t go on Friday.
Saturday May 24
I took the train to San Jose that day. From the train station we (me and wiggy1770) walked to the convention center. When we [...]
Finally! Another Anime Review!

I feel like I haven’t had a proper anime review in a long, long time, partly because I haven’t watched much anime lately, and partly because what I do watch is too old for there to be any point in reviewing it. Anyway, today’s anime is…
Lucky Star!
Last Summer, I started watching Lucky Star on [...]
Variety Post
Posted in Anime, Books, TV, Uncategorized on April 15, 2008 | 4 Comments »
It seems that I have a severe case of Procrastinating Blogger Syndrome. Oh well. What I meant to say yesterday about the most recent Death Note was that it was really cheesy. L’s death was a really poignant scene in the manga, so Saturday’s episode was kind of a disappointment. The school bells, the rain, [...]
No More Episode Summaries
Posted in Anime, TV, tagged Adult Swim, Cartoon Network, Death Note, Shonen Jump Advanced on February 14, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I have decided not to put any more episode summaries on this blog. It is now only for reviews and random stuff. The reason: I’m just really sick of summarizing episodes.
But anyway, is it just me, or is the animation in Death Note kind of…wishy-washy? It started out really good, but sometimes, it gets kinda [...]
Shakugan no Shana
Posted in Anime, Books, Manga, tagged Noizi Ito, Shakugan no Shana, The girl with fire in her eyes, Viz, Yashichiro Takahashi on February 7, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
A couple of weeks ago, I bought the novel, Shakugan no Shana, for a completely idiotic reason. I knew it was a stupid reason, but I bought it anyway. The reason was this: the author, Yashichiro Takahashi, is friends with Hiromu Arakawa (manga-ka behind Fullmetal Alchemist.) But anyway, unlike most [...]
Death Note Dub Episode 12 and 13
Posted in Anime, TV, tagged Adult Swim, Cartoon Network, Death Note, Shonen Jump Advanced on January 24, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Today I’ll keep it short. So, these two episodes focused on the second Kira. In episode 12, L invites Light to help the investigation team catch Kira. Light gladly accepts. L shows him the tapes from the second Kira and Light deduces on his own that they were the work of a second Kira. Of [...]
Watching “Haruhi” in English

It’s hard to believe, but it’s been over a year since “Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu” began airing on Japanese TV and since I watched the show for the first time. I’m finally watching the DVDs in English, and , overall, I suppose the English dub was good enough. Since, as with all dubs, quality of [...]
