Silver Spoon

I'm back from London. It was really big, but also great. And Kero, Sachin and Smurph: you were awesome. It really was great to meet you!



And now I have the daunting task to catch up to everything again. Starting off: Silver Spoon, the latest Noitamina-series. Thank god, afte the past spring season had that Katanagatari-rerun. Next autumn there will be two new original series and a second Psycho Pass season has been announced, so the timeslot will be back in its glory again.

A Rudimentary Breakdown of the "Realist" Iyashikei Series: Or, Why Usagi Drop Didn't Tickle One Lolicon's Fancy

First, kudos to rebeccableich's (hence referred to by me as RB) on why the anime series Usagi Drop didn't connect with her, even though she enjoyed it; before you read mine, I recommend that you read hers. In it, she summarizes the premise of the series, provides unflinching commentary, and ties in her own childhood-familial experiences.



At the risk of perverting it, I'll elaborate her process--perhaps take it too far. She tests the elements of premise against her own experiences. The realization is that she has nothing to latch on to: Rin is too ideal, RB herself grew up in a nuclear family, babysat children and was a child quite unlike Rin, around whom the story tension revolves (it's because of her that Daikichi's actions are shifted and limited). It's eerily obvious that the show was not written "for RB" or even "with people like her in mind" (note my quotation marks). The desired audience seems more aligned with the romantic POV of the middle-aged--like parents, for example. There's a definite, but ultimately only shrug-worthy, alienation. Who's telling the story, then? And who's supposed to care?

What is this... Favorite Anime? REVISITED

Back in October 2011, . At the time, I had a somewhat limited watch history and, to be honest, I hadn't quite thought some of them through. I figure it's about time I fix that. This time around I'm going to do it by genre instead of just naming a bunch of the same genre and copping out on the others. Variety is the spice of life, you know?



THE REQUIREMENTS: According to my friends, I have some very high standards when it comes to animated shows, and I can't really dispute that. I do have high standards for shows because I've seen so many incredible shows and can't tolerate anything less. Most of these will meet every requirement, but some might not. Some are non-negotiable, like a decent story and likable characters, while others, like animation and music, are important but won't completely ruin an anime if they aren't superb. "Graphics aren't everything" we gamers like to say...

Oh welp. I'll dump what's on my mind.

Holycrap last three episodes are freaking amazing hooooooolyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

Anime Music Tournament Picks

The folks over at Anime Instrumentality are bringing together a contest pitting the great anime songs of all times against each other. You can see more details on the project's main site - .



The more the merrier, I say, so I thought I would use this opportunity to post my nomination picks and discuss some of my favorite anime OPs, EDs and inserts. With the theme of the tournament in mind, I paid little attention to the visual side of things this time around. That said, the reasons each song got on the list are still quite varied, as you will no doubt see below.

AFA12 Signature Acquisitions

Yup, 'signature' as in 'autograph', not 'outstanding'.



I'm unequivocally late in posting these, but as the adage goes, "It's better late than never!". So, here are some of the signatures that I was fortunate enough to acquire at last year's Anime Festival Asia 2012.

At Least I Update It Now XD

Lately I was busy with my national exam, so I don't have so much time for updating my own blog. Sorry for that. My score was not really good, but not that bad. Well I still can get some good school XD

I have so much things that I want to do. So much good anime this season like Shingeki no Kyojin, Suisei no Gargantia, Hataraku Maou-sama and others. I can't write all of it ahaha I was feel so lucky well don't know why. But I got dissapointed for Devil Survivor 2. I thought it was great, some of my friend say that too. Later, the story getting worse and boring. I never play the game, so I don't know if the story will get better on future... or maybe it's just me? I don't know, don't be offended okay? It's still good to watch. ^^v

Last month I was searching for some good old anime, and I found Madoka Magica. When I saw it for the first time, I was thinking that Madoka is just like another mahou shoujo series like PreCure or Sailor Moon. Now I know I was really really wrong. Madoka Magica is just epic ! If you haven't watch it, then you should..no, you MUST !

Katanagatari -The Story of Swords-

EPIC ! I don't know another words to describe it, just epic.... Really good story, and it's my first time to watch such anime that have a narator inside it lol. Although the duration is so long (about 50 minutes, almost 1 hour XD so be patient when watching this series), it's worth watching it. They have great soundtracks too. No regret.

The story itself was telling about Togame, who was searching for a new right hand after betrayals to her from her excrews for her mission, searching 12 legendary swords. She sails the sea and arrive on a liveless island. Nobody live there except two brother and sister, Shichika Yasuri and Nanami Yasuri. Both are the daughter and son of hero from past that has been deported into the island. And then something happen and blah blah blah, I don't want to spoil it XP

I know it's too late for write an article about this anime, but I will do what I like, ahaha forget it swt.
