We watch in reverence, as Narcissus is turned into a flower..

[wao]

A flower? (P.S. If you liked the whole song within 10 plays I'll worship you.)

Still gotten hardly anywhere with scanning the Dennou Coil book. Couldn't do it while the rellies were around and I've just gotten lazy after that. Plus my scanner is so sucky badly-maintained (actually, entirely UN-maintained) it's depressing. But I'll throw out a bone

AYAKASHI!!!!!!!!!!!

[wao]

Yeah lah Ayakashi lah. If you're free go watch Mononoke leh. It's like 12 episodes of Medicine Dude ok.

...is it Haraken?

Also, *wants to watch Summer Wars*.

[wao]

Aw dammit, this is no fun :p Yes, it is Haraken (version 1). Enjoy your cute Yasako!

By the time it's out on DVD of course it'll be goodness knows when...

[ochazuki]

Uwahahah. That totally reminds me that I have to actually finish watching Dennou Coil still. Darnit. Gahhh, Yasako = adorable.

If it's out in theaters while I've over in Japan, and I can figure out how to get tickets, I might be able to watch it in theaters? Probably not, knowing my luck, but whatever, I can try.

[wao]

Well, it's coming out in Summer (..duh), I hope you *do* manage to get tickets and see it! I presume it'll be given a wide release since TokiKake wasn't a flop. If you do see it I would never say no to your thoughts on the show, of course. ;)

man, did the original haraken have a huge role in the plot or something? also, i only skimmed the blurb but it seems to have stronger shades of serial experiments lain or at least of something ominous, compared to the actual dennou coil anime.

the singaporean media and its antiquated guidelines..! so frustrating. if anything is offensive it's this denial of a voice and a positive presence to minorities -- certainly not the minorities themselves.

whee photos! and your balcony is huuuuge.

[wao]

I still haven't read through a lot, but I don't think he has as much of a role as he ended up having - Kanna and co were factored in from the start but I think he played less of a role in the second half originally; since Tamako didn't exist either...

That's very much the case. It's just depressing that some people must clench their fists and stick out their chins and deny meaningful, even wholesome~ ideas at the expense of their little books.

And it's not huge at all! The camera is just making it look funny. Okay, it's not really a balcony in the typical sense of some bricks jutting out of a large window, but well...

Glad to see another scan of Dennou Coil! I don't really mind that low res, as long as there's something to see.

Anyway, you look cute. ^_^

[wao]

(It's actually about 50% larger if you click on the picture but I presume you already clicked...) I can only be bothered scanning at 100 dpi generally, but I make exceptions for nice pictures ;)

And this is where I should blame the camera for hiding my pimples but oh well. I'll accept a compliment. Thank you. :0

[shimizu_hitomi]

Those are awesome scans.

Though I STILL haven't finished watching the series (I was waiting for a certain sub group for a looong time and eventually just kind of gave up), which I should totally remedy since I'm not really into any of the new shows lately...

Asians + sexuality = totally weird.

[wao]

And I have even more awesome ones! Now if only I'd get my ass into gear...

It was :/ that it wasn't just the local stations but an Asia-wide network (STAR) that decided on that too. But while I personally hate the idea, especially the fact that the government demands this from subscription channels, it just isn't all that surprising in the end (it's happened enough times) and I can see where they're coming from (and it's a bad place).

Having said that I never considered the typical "moderated"/modern Asian response to sexuality in general (if you could lump it all under that, of course) as anything particularly weird... I don't think about it too much but just chalk up the 'sexuality' of other cultures as a difference in taste.
