Ending up with more dropped series than watched series is now looking like a serious possibility

While I was typing up my monthly review, I noticed that my watching list was a bit smaller than I originally thought it was. Since I’ve watched the first episode of practically everything this season that’s either not a sequel or doesn’t have flying underwear, this confused me a bit until I realised exactly how many anime I’d dropped. Basically, I’ve already dropped over half of the series airing this season. That figure will probably rise since I end up dropping a lot of anime around the episode 5 stage (Kobato and Sacred Blacksmith are heading towards that point and Natsu no Arashi has already been dropped). I always knew I was a vicious dropper but the extent of my dropping capabilities hadn’t quite hit me yet. Intrigued, I looked back at last season to see how many anime I had watched and how many I had dropped.

Watched/Watching: Bakemonogatari, Spice and Wolf, Sora no Manimani, Umineko

4 Series

Dropped: Needless, Canaan, Tokyo Magnitude, Princess Lover, Umi Monogatari, Aoi Hana, Yoku Wakaru Gendai Mahou, Taishou Yakyuu Musume

7 Series

If this trend continues, I’m going to have a larger dropped list then a watched list.

Up to Date with: Kaza

Ok, so before I start I just wanted to let you all know that I watch all of my streaming on watchanimeon.com, and recently they’ve added an Asian Drama section to it. So they have movies from all these Asian countries including Japan, but what I set my eyes on first was the Death Note movie. Yet, keep in mind that I have never seen any anime episodes of Death Note because it’s just not my style. But I guess this time I got a little interested with how Japanese movies look like with real people. *deep sigh* All I can say is, that I was deeply disappointed with the movie. They actually have like 3 Death Note movies, but after watching the first, I will NEVER even waste my time watching the next. I’m sorry, but how could they make the main character some ruthless, merciless, coward, who sacrificed his own loved on! I just can’t enjoy something like that, sorry.

By the way, I definitely want to recommend the streaming website I mentioned earlier, only because scamp seems to have been going crazy over some rip-off Craproll he got, XD.

“You may do as you wish.”

Senjougahara finally appears in the final episode. And boy did she end it in a Bang! Actually let me rephrase that to say she ends it in a Gasp and a Moan. lol

Any-who, Hitagi starts out by asking, *Cough excuse me, I mean demanding that Araragi go out on a date with her. Wow, gentle much? Well, thats what I love so much about her, Strait forward. OK maybe she is a little too much. So, willingly, Araragi accepts her offer only believing that his dream was about to come true.

As there in the car (accompanied by Hitagi’s father driving), Araragi is feeling extremely tense (hence the situation with the father) and a bit sad because he thinks that his dreams have sunk rock-bottom. Ignoring that, he strikes the question to Senjougahara, (no I’m not referring to her father), “Why is Kanbaru so Kinky?”. As she is surprised to know what he thinks about her, she explains that it’s probably only the way men think. BUT WAIT! Here comes the good part…

A Historic day for Bokutachi no Blog

Ever since I joined this blog I’ve been waiting for this day to come but somehow I never thought it was possible. But we have finally reached this day. It is with great honour that I announce that Bokutachi no Blog has finally reached the historic milestone of finally accumulating over 10,000 spam messages!

It's a bit depressing the amount of spam on the internet

I would like to thank everyone who made this possible. That includes the guy who wanted to sell me German horses and the Israeli who wanted us to fund his project to build a gundam (I am not making either of these up). I sincerly thank every single one of you.

In other news, Animesource polls for their Favourite Anime Movie Survey close on the 5th August so go there now if you haven’t voted. In other other news, I just watched Monster episode 42. For those who have seen the show, it’s the nail-clipper torture scene. Gee thanks Monster, now I’m petrified of cutting my nails. As if it wasn’t bad enough already that XXXHolic made me think that if I was to cut my nails at night, a giant pair of ethereal scissors would slice my head off. Anime = Bad for mental health.

Because Malaysia is an Otakuland!

Update: I got it all wrong. It was not “Don’t Bother None” and it wasn’t “Gotta Knock a Little Harder” as well. My bad. Either way, if you want the songs, just click on the provided links.

Driving is boring without some anime songs.

This happened 2 days ago, so I’m posting this kind of late but what happened remains to be a surprising revelation. It happened when I was driving on my way to work after I had my lunch when the radio DJ from the national English station, Traxx FM, began mutter out (I’m not exactly a radio listener but this one was too good to catch my attention) a very familiar name: Yoko Kanno. So the DJ continued as I quote:

Next up is a soundtrack from Yoko Kanno, used as the opening song for the animated movie, Cowboy Bebop. Here’s “Ask DNA”.

I went like “MAJI KA?” And yes, the DJ was not kidding. An anime song! Played on the national radio! On the airwaves! Listened by most Malaysians! I’m pretty sure I’m not the only otaku hyped out about this. So if you’re Malaysian, do tell if you had something similar of an encounter such as this one. Malaysia is indeed, truly OTAKU!
