[more family troubles]It never rains but it pours, as they say. I am flying to Latvia tomorrow morning for my grandfather's funeral, and coming back on Sunday. My other grandfather, the one that had not died yet, has just had a heart attack again and is in a hospital. The doctors have discovered that he also has cancer in lungs and bones, so they predict he will also die in a week or so. Well, you can't trust doctors, so maybe he won't. Anyhow, I hope he holds on until Christmas at least, I will have to go there for X-mas anyway and I don't have so much money to travel back and forth all the time... I try not to think about him dying, it is pointless to worry about stuff that I can't do anything about. But I kind of wish I did not have to visit him in hospital. My grandmother says I should see him alive for possibly one last time, but I would rather remember him as he used to be, not as he is now with tubes sticking out of places and semi-conscious. Oh well.
And now for something completely different, at last I have finished all the summer season anime that I wanted to watch. Lol, autumn season has already started, but I'm such a slowpoke XD
Some impressions:
Gin no Saji - definitely the favourite of the season. I liked the animation, nothing too flashy but it really fit the peaceful atmosphere of the series. And all the characters were really likeable, even the main character, and it is somewhat rare for me to like the people in the leading roles. In fact, the main character was particularly interesting because it was easy for the viewer to identify themselves with him, his difficulties and dilemmas were very relatable, and he made you care for things. The whole setting and plot of the series were kind of similar to Moyashimon, but unlike that one, Gin no Saji was more realistic and had much more soul. Basically, I would recommend this to anyone :)
Uchouten Kazoku - some say it was the best anime of the season, but it didn't do all that much for me. It was aesthetically attractive, but I didn't really feel sympathetic with the characters, I suppose it's because I prefer characters with serious attitude towards life, not characters, who are proud of their stupidity XDD The series got somewhat more interesting towards the end when all the action happened, but it's still not my favourite. And also I didn't really get all that stuff about eating, if you like something a lot, than you should not eat it because then it will be gone, that just makes sense...
Watashi ga Motenai no wa dō Kangaetemo Omaera ga Warui! - it was like watching a train wreck. The heroine did all she could to make her life worse, at first I was feeling a little sorry for her, but by the end of it I just thought she was pathetic. Well, but it was still pretty amusing to see all the new ways she can come up with to screw up all the chances life gives her.
Servant x Service - it was just an shoujo about an office romance of the super-popular ladies man Hasebe who suddenly finds his only love in the naive bespectacled bookworm Lucy. Still a better love story than 50 Shades of Grey XDD
Free! - for an ecchi series the animation was very good, the rest was as you might expect from ecchi - characters with all the depth and complexity of cardboard cutouts, ridiculous conflict, simple plot. But apparently everyone was too busy ogling the naked beefy men to notice all the failings.
