Site Maintenance >>

You might have noticed some performance issues around here this past week. Unfortunately, I never managed to isolate the problem. This morning, I got tired of scratching my head and settled on the scorched earth option. I backed up the database, wiped the directory, did a new Wordpress install, imported all of my existing [...]

If at First You Don’t Succeed… >>

Being a year behind the curve and all, I’m not sure there’s much I can say about ef - a tale of memories that hasn’t already been said. But I’ll say it anyway. Previously, I described the series as “fascinating, but absolutely boring”. I got part of it right, at least. The show [...]

Finishing Simoun for only a second time, I’m struck by how much more impact the ending has on me compared to my first viewing. Its ambiguous nature persists, but it’s nowhere near as vexing now that I’ve had ample opportunity to reflect on the story’s many interconnecting themes and the manner in which they [...]

Good Morning >>

When I first started my vacation, I didn’t have any clear idea when I’d be coming back. So, I proposed two conditions: I’d start blogging again once either the post announcing my vacation slipped off the front page or I drafted a sincere “screw it, I’m outta here,” post, whichever came first. [...]

Hidamari Sketch x365 is fantastic. But you already knew that. Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto: Natsu no Sora is quite nice, too; although, Kobayashi Osamu’s spartan direction renders the show duller than it need be. Finally, Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu is fun, even if it is convenience store anime. The recently released [...]

State of the Union >>

I turned 30 yesterday. To celebrate, I went to bed early. Today, I bought a Wii. I’ve been wanting one for ages, but not so much that I was willing to camp out somewhere or get friendly with a pimply faced game store clerk in order to procure it. When I woke up [...]

I spent some time this weekend catching up with Toshokan Sensou, a show I lost all enthusiasm for only a few episodes in, initial interest notwithstanding. Like a lot of people, my disappointment with the show was a direct response to its ridiculous premise. However, having given it a second try, I’ve come [...]

Welcome to the Summer Days >>

After two relatively dry anime seasons in Japan, the sky has finally opened up and blessed us with more potential gems than there is time to watch them all. That’s my feeling, at least. And the timing couldn’t be any better. As usual, here are the coming Summer season shows that catch my eye… Zero [...]

Star Search >>

Count me among those fans who find “What ’bout My Star” from Macross Frontier to be one of the catchiest pop songs Yoko Kanno has ever produced. You could have Kelly Clarkson shout the hook in the chorus and sell a truckload of CDs. That’s how slick it sounds. One reason I enjoy the [...]

Summer Vacation >>

In my kitchen at home, I have a calendar featuring the work of Utagawa Hiroshige. The print for the month April was particularly soothing; given how frenetic a month it turned out to be, I found the juxtaposition amusing. What would the next month bring? Depends on how you look at it, [...]
