I felt I should say something here even if it's not totally anime related. After all, (I hope) that two of you there are still interested in what I'm doing now.Okay so, looking this blog now is kind of nostalgic. I don't regret the time I spend with anime, but neverthless, it's over for me. I may watch something now and then, but more than that, no. Political activities got me completely and I

Nana, something that was always too good to be true. I have practically stopped watching anime, but nevertheless Nana managed to kept me following the story with high interest. Such a good way to end this hobby, couldn't think of better show.Probably the most surprising thing was how well I adapted to the variety of mood, usually wrong timing cause severe lacking in both drama and comedy, but not

No matter what I do I don't have same passion towards anime as before. There is so much more interesting things in real life that this soon dead hobby only drags me down. I dropped several shows, finished Futago Hime and Hataraki Man leaving only two for me. Three more episodes before Aria ends and Nana continue a bit longer, after that I'm pretty much finished with the whole medium at least for

I didn't know anyone sells anime merchandises here in cold and dark north, but apparently I was wrong. I found store called Blippo by accident, small niche sellers are always hard to find. But anyway, there was this lovely Nana plushie I had to buy. It was little expensive, but when it comes to Nana related merchandises price is irrelevant.Also, Nana alarm clock. Yeah, I will buy almost anything

This is something I have expected for a while, my taste in anime keeps getting narrower all the time and force to depend on 'classics' to find good shows. There is no way that combination works in long term and it's already too obvious.Maybe I start with current season so it's out of way. After all that hype Nodame Cantabile's first episode was disappointing, male lead is far from likeable and

Whoa, that was so indescribably awesome I don't know powerful enough words to explain everything, but I will try my best.I was literally laughing with teary eyes when there were some excellent comedy scenes after heavy drama, it's kind of funny state to be. You are forced to think sad things and at same time physically only thing you can do is laugh. Even if those are opposite emotions it's still

Mahou Shoujotai is one of those unlucky shows that I watched with several pauses. Fansubbing wasn't fast begin with and somewhere along the way I simple forgot the whole anime. Then when I at last remembered it after few episodes I decided to wait dvd encodes...It goes without saying that I already was somewhat spoiled and obviously the enjoyment of story suffered. That in mind I still enjoyed

Gokinjo Monogatari is Ai Yazawa's earlier works which is main reason why I decided to check this out, after all she made that masterpiece also known as Nana. Unfortunately this is "only" good.I like the fashion setting and how things revolve around clothes. There are far too little shows that use those aspects, ParaKiss was only vague light in the darkness.Animation isn't the prettiest possible,

When you introduce yourself to new culture more than often it changes your personality. Depending on your dedication it may not last long time, but with strong love towards medium like anime that possibility is unlikely. Before my first proper touch to anime few years ago I was pretty much your usual boy who likes action, explosions and everything emotional was stupid. And then I saw this

Yeah, once again I'm dropping shows. Within few months or so there have been increasing boredom in anime and I'm not really sure where it ends. Everything just feel so boring that recently I also stopped watching older anime, it's already enough to keep currently airing ones interesting which doesn't go that well either. Otogi-Jushi Akazukin - I simply lost the thing that made Akazukin enjoyable,

Every anime blog certainly needs mandatory yearly summary and well, not so surprisingly I wrote one too. I planned to use more pictures at first, but then it would have been rather slow to load with slower connection so unfortunately there won't be twenty pics about Akari. Only five.MusicIt seems spring season was major success for me even more on music-wise than with anime, 7 out of 10 songs are

Sigh, I'm so sick of writing the following sentence. Once again only reason why I still bothered to watch this episode was music and I swear, if I ever have to write that again I drop said series without hesitation. That's what I do anyway in the end so it's not like timing matters. My first impression several months ago was doubtful and even if I somehow liked episodes between that's not the

Yeah, I'm totally concentrating on important aspects of this show... I was watching this episode with "nice average stuff that doesn't need full attention"-attitude and then I notice something strangely familiar, I could swear I heard same VA (Sayaka Ohara) as Alicia has in Aria. Though maybe it just that my brains have melted too much and I have started to hear her everywhere, but anyone know

You probably have noticed the lack of posts and that's because I hardly have anything to post. Due to few series from spring season summer was somewhat filled, but that just delayed the inevitable. Fall has only one anime I most likely follow and another one in maybe category so I'm going to watch Fruits Basket, Card Captor Sakura and maybe also Mahou Shoujotai in the mean time. Which also means

Who needs Kanon or Death Note when you can watch something like this? Shibawanko's Spirit of Tradition is anime where dog and cat teach Japanese manners and traditions also using real life examples. I can't believe how good it actually was, I downloaded the torrent solely to see what kind of series it's and ended up laughing. Everything that manage to give similar reaction definitely deserve

Akari and Akatsuki finally had a chance be lovey-dovey at the excuse of food and then that stupid Akira ruin the mood. Akatsuki, you hesitate too much, just admit you like Akari (No, I definitely don't read the scene too much...). We see a little story from Akatsuki's past, that scene in the swing was nice. I used to jump from the swing as a kid too so it brought lot of old memories. Ahh, I know

Haha, they actually made anime about bartender's profession. =) I was bit skeptical how this will turn out, but apparently quite well. Various shows about work related topics is definitely welcome change to anime world as Hataraki Man also shows. I'm not expert of alcohols so hard to say if the introduction of several drinks was authentic, but it looked like that. Not sure what was authors

I say the good parts first. The best 3 minutes in each episode are OP and ED, both animation and music in those. If this would be short OVA where Ayu eats different kind of Taiyakis in strong wind and after that run in the snow this would be really good.Unfortunately there is one small problem which is kind of hard to ignore, the show itself. Things don't develop fast enough and how every girl in

That was definitely funny though there were some serious parts too. I wonder how serious Hataraki Man will be, hopefully they keep the comedy at least partly there because I have slight shortage on those now since Bokura ga Ita, Death Note and probably also Asatte no Houkou already make sure there is enough drama. At the beginning of season Hataraki Man was probably most well known it's

I didn't plan to do post like this since it's kind of obvious, but after reading Ayyo's post about the subject I guess it's ok. Before anyone start screaming out there, yes, some series exist without using same stereotypes as in every genre like KGNE and Air for example, but in this genre I simply dislike the basic content so much that it's not worth my time. Good not-so-successful example from

When I watch anime where an army of bishies talk like it's their last day things tend to be boring, usually series like that needs tons of SD faces or some sort of emotional attachment which don't happen too often. SaiMono lacks both and to make it worse I'm not fan of Chinese settings. I would rather take modern world used for example in Nana when it comes to stories about independent women.

Wow, so they do make non action shows without harem or tsundere. Who would have believed? For some reason I started to think Kamichu after finishing the episode. I don't think those have other similarities than peaceful mood, but I guess that's not really bad thing. As I said the mood was great not to mention art also and I'm interested how they continue the story.Depending on what direction they

No, the recent first episode of Kanon remake didn't make me to post this (Maybe a little...). I have seen about one moe girl in h-game adaptions who actually is moe and she is Kamio Misuzu. Following many reasons why you should think same way:First of all she has this cute phrase 'Gao', not even 'piko' stretched with several o isn't that amazing to hear.She loves dinosaurs, who doesn't?

Yeah, it's bit late since last episode aired months ago. I'm not sure yet if I do series review, but this particular episode is too awesome not to blog. The main content here concentrate on Sakamoto's family and in their house Tooru and Yuujirou trying to guess which member of family they see. That may not sound exciting, but it's quite hilarious.I guess I follow the order in episode, first they

So it feels like this to watch good anime, I almost forgot that feeling. I'm not sure if I have seen this before, but nevertheless it was on usual Aria-level and that means I have to blog about it. The length is only little over 5 minutes where Akari tells her story about wonderful friends, undines and the city itself. Some screenshots about lovely undines (and President Aria):
