Letter Bee episode 6

With the double-episodic format that Letter Bee appears to be taking I think it’s high time to change the direction of my blogging routine. Similar to when watching the first season of Darker than Black, it was always a far more enjoyable experience to watch two episodes in a row. So from now on I’m going to be waiting two weeks so I can watch the two episodes at once. Obviously, this will mean a change in blogging tactics. So from now on I’m going to blog Letter Bee two episodes at a time. Since neither MAL nor ANN seem to know how many episodes this show will have combined with the fact that it’s Pierrot making it, I’m assuming that Letter Bee is going to continue on for quite a number of episodes. So unless they change their approach sometime in the future or it suddenly becomes clear that there’s only going to be 13 episodes, I’m sticking to the 2 episode per post plan.

For now though, let’s continue with this episode.

Celebrating 2000 comments: Flamers, followers, Israeli Gundam builders and more

Bokutachi no Blog reached a rather impressive milestone recently, with Executive Otaku nicking the 2000th comment on the blog. And if there is one thing bloggers love more than anything else, it’s comments. Even if it’s just a silly one-liner, even if it’s a troll and even if it’s a flame…scratch that, especially if it’s a flame. There’s nothing more satisfying for a writer to see the comment count rise, far more so than it is to see the view count rise. You could simply be getting over 100 hits a day just because a picture on the page just so happens to appear on the front page of google images when you type in ‘Bleach’. Comments prove your post has been read and the person actually cared enough to process what you wrote and go through that oh so tiresome process of typing out a semi-coherrant response. So this post is a celebration of these comments, what they meant, what they signify and what on earth was going through the writers mind when he wrote them. Comment moar folks!

Asura Cryin’ Season 2 Ep 6

Unfortunately, time has become a big factor in my study life now. And studying is about all I do for life these days so as you can see time becomes even shorter, *sob*. I’m ok though, in case any of you cared, (probably not). But with that, I would like all of you who read and follow my weekly review of Asura Cryin’ Season 2 to please leave me a comment letting me know that you follow. I don’t want to sound bossy and I don’t want to force anyone, but I’m just saying that if I get no manifestations then I will have to stop reviewing this anime.

Darker than BLACK: Gemini of the Meteor episode 5

Another plot added, this time, by the code name Izanami. This brings another question mark to this already mystery-laden story. Although things seem to pick up for the plot progress, this episode however felt more like a filler to me. No real development and the epilogue of Suou’s past did not help either. The only real progress to the story are the introduction of another contractor for Section 3, Michiru, and the first mention of Izanami. The rest are all about Suou, which makes me sad because Hei is no longer the central character of DTB. It felt that DTB Gemini is only an OVA instead of a sequel.

Not sure which is a better father figure: alcoholic Hei or obviously-not-human Pecha/Mao

The Otaku Elimination Game: Brilliantly harsh criticism of anime blogs

It takes a lot of balls to come out and bitch about anime blogs without using generalisations. People will complain about how terrible a vast majority of blogs are without actually ever caring to give any names. Hence when I stumbled across The Otaku Elimination Game I found myself grinning from ear to ear. So if you want to see your favourite, most hated and maybe even your own anime blogs be horribly cut down then by all means pop on over. I do hope that loads of people start following this project they’ve put together because I would love to see some general improvement of the anime blog scene come out of this. And if that doesn’t happen, then at least we’ll draw some amusement from the shit storm that will inevitably be caused by some of the harsh criticisms.

Bokutachi no Blog isn’t listed as one of the competitors. I’m not sure whether to be relieved or disappointed…

 

::Edit:: OK, we’ve been put on the list. However beside the blog name they wrote ‘because we can’…

…oh dear…

Nyan Koi Episode 5

Maybe I’m pushing it too far, but this show is by far one of the funniest I’ve ever seen. Some people recommended me to watch FLCL some time ago, but I still haven’t finished watching it only because it didn’t exactly catch my attention. But Nyan Koi did. OK, maybe I’m a sucker for these non-original comedies with super funny and sexy characters, but I do prefer to watch something with a good story-line such as DTB. So just keep in mind that even though I have expectations for this show my standard for quality is still high. :)
