NO.6 – 08

「そのわけは…」 (Sono Wake wa...)
"The reason for that is..."

Things are certainly getting BONES-y again down NoitaminA way. Mysterious female singers, byzantine plot developments, noble savages – it’s easy to see why BONES saw these novels as kindred spirits after its own heart.

BLOOD-C – 07

「うかりける」 (Ukarikeru)
"Thoughtlessly"

I usually prefer the modest approach, but after I joked about how I would look like a genius if the "dog" talked back in episode four, I just have to throw in a (somewhat unconfident) "what did I tell you" as a follow-up to it. Voiced by Fukuyama Jun, our furry friend also hinted that this isn't his true form, so the transformation part doesn't seem so far-fetched either.

Random Musings – The “Survival” Strategy


Over the past month, anime has slipped quite a bit on my priority list. Work's been hectic and I find that I don't get home until seven or eight in the evening on some days, leaving very little time to watch anime let alone blog about it. Then there are other real-life priorities with family, a social life, and moments where I want to laze away and relax (maybe even play a game) -- all of which have really taken precedence over the site as of late. I've managed to make do by squeezing as many waking hours out of a day as I can, hence why you see posts published in the early hours of the morning (i.e. 2-5 AM), but it's become painfully obvious that I can't -- and shouldn't -- maintain such a grueling schedule for any prolonged period of time.

 

Addendum: Thanks for the vote of confidence everyone, but please don't read too much into the post title. I simply used it to go with the image and the quotation marks around "survival" are intended to be sarcastic. This post is merely a formal way of letting everyone what's going on and why certain shows and the RL post are being dropped. I can still manage a show a day so it's not like the site's in a dire state or anything.
