Got together with the usual MSU group last night and stayed up until 3:00am, even though new year countdown is today. Whole family was kind of groggy coming down south. At least Dad agreed to take plane (50 minutes) instead of train (6 hours). We'll try the high-speed rail someday when they allow us civilians to buy tickets ( Read more... )

Watched 4 episodes of the Nodame Cantabile this weekend. Instant love. ♥

I've been watching La corda d'oro ~primo passo~ since it began this season, and though I enjoy it, the music is a little lacking. I liked Ren's first selection piece (Henryk Wieniawski - Polonaise Brillante No. 1 Op. 4...?) and Chopin's Fantasie-Impromptu, which Tsuchiura ( Read more... )

Hayashibara Megumi returns to the anime song scene! I'm almost afraid to ask, but what anniversary is Slayers celebrating?

I'm still mulling over the fact that it's Detective Conan's 10th anniversary. Bombs? Always need some of those. Kidnappings? Sure. Heiji? Yay. Kaitou Kid? Hmph, maybe I'll check it out afterall. Hakuba? ...who? Anyway, lots ( Read more... )

Why yes, I am still watching this show. Only one more episode to go. (Thank goodness.)

Points of interest: ( Spoiler-free, but with COLOUR! )

Lots of randomness happening lately. Will hopefully sort out and be able to think somewhat straightly soon.

In the meantime, a kind soul shared this: ZZ - Be SURVIVOR
YOU MUST GET THIS SONG!...okay, perhaps I exaggerate. But I've been waiting for this song ever since I heard it (Eyeshield21 insert song), but it never showed up. Until now ( Read more... )

Anime You've Seen Meme
Check those you have seen. For TV and OVA series, you have to have watched at least one full episode. For one-shot stuff like films, you have to have watched the whole thing.

( How did they categorize some of these...? )

Lame attempt to surface into existance. Let's just say that school started out hectic, I procrastinate like no one and have near no time management and then midterms came around and apparently I'm having a 2nd midterm next week for a class that I just had the 1st for about 2 weeks ago and all types of assignments and midterms stuffed in between.

Two mostly non-manga filler episodes.

ep. 15: Eyeshield wo Sagase!
Mamori-neesan writes up the telephone tree and wonders how to contact Eyeshield 21. Hiruma gets half the city to chase after and try to unmask the mysterious Devil Bats hero. Insert song (♥) "Be Survivor"by ZZ; release date unknown?

ep. 16: Sayonara, Kurita!?On the way home Kurita ( Read more... )

Went to see Madagascar (so-so).

Saw trailer for Brothers Grimm: "You almost got eaten by a tree. A tree!"
Would you like to know why the sakura are pink? Well, except it looked more like an oak tree.

I hope the movie adapation of American McGee's Alice turns out good.

[ADD] P.S. Collaborations are nice. Awesome song. ♥ *keeps on repeat*

Forget AX. Forget Comic Expo. I'd give up going to both (not that I am, or can, or will) for this: Animelo Summer Live 2005 -THE BRIDGE-. Because seriously, the artists performing? Holy mochi.Okui Masami, Kageyama Hironobu, JAM Project (comprised of previous two, Endou Masaaki, Matsumoto Rika, Kitadani Hiroshi, Fukuyama Yoshiki), Mizuki Nana, ( Read more... )
