Hi, how is everyone doing? All things considered, I'm doing all right. Been slacking off in the writing department.

Rewatching Natsume Yuujinchou. It's hard to believe that it's been 16 years since season 1 aired. It's a somewhat wistful story about youkai and humans, meeting and parting. It's not a series I would binge watch, but it's kind of ( Read more... )

Busy working on a fic. I'm having fun writing so far, but at some point I'll probably start struggling ( Read more... )

Is it just me, or is everyone very busy this October?

Came upon Mokumoku Ren's horror manga Hikaru ga Shinda Natsu, a story about two boys who couldn't let go of each other. To commemorate the release of volume 2 of the manga in Japan, several promotional videos have been made, with each one voiced by a different pair of seiyuu. The video features ( Read more... )

I'm going to use Jack as my icon as much as possible this month.

Saw this illustration on Twitter. It's an illustration of some of the most iconic horror film female characters, drawn by graphic designer and illustrator Takumi. I only recognise Wednesday, I'm afraid. The new Netflix series Wednesday directed by Tim Burton is coming out in November ( Read more... )

I watched Pui Pui Molcar, a weirdly fascinating slow-motion short anime series about molcars, creatures that are a cross between a guinea pig and a car. The series is a cute and fluffy balm for a lousy week. Each episode is less than 3 minutes long, and it's on Netflix. There are quite a few pop culture references (mostly Hollywood movies, but ( Read more... )

Time to plan for Draco's birthday, though I say that around this time every year. (Slow writer is slow.) I kept skipping his birthday every year, so I thought I might do something this year. The only question is which one of the dozens of plot bunnies am I going to dust off for this year. Maybe I should just post a new chapter for one of my many ( Read more... )

About Japanese voice actors and stage reading plays. (I like seiyuu, and I like a good story no matter what form they take.)

Reading High is a series of stage reading plays written by playwright Fujisawa Bunou and performed by voice actors on stage, combined with live music, sound effects, a stage set, costumes, lighting and special effects.

It's actually snowing right now, but anyway.

I've been distracted by a bunch of things lately, and I couldn't quite find the motivation to sit down and write. (It's an excuse, I guess.) I'm working on expanding some of my HP Halloween drabbles into longer stories, so let's see how that goes.

( The rest is all about Japanese voice actors. )

Anime and manga post.

Oshii Mamoru's Vladlove (or is it Vlad Love? I'm not sure) will now be airing in autumn instead of in April. Also, the official site for the TV series is now open.

There is more news on the TV anime adaptation of Yuukoku no Moriarty. Production I.G. will be handling animation production, with Joker Game's Nomura Kazuya ( Read more... )
