^That's actually what I legitimately read it as the first time it came up. Then I saw what Ryougi/Tonho did with them, and my thought process was something akin to: "Ohhh, 'Death', not 'Depth'... that makes much more sense now."

I'm also annoyed I didn't get Mystic Eyes after I nearly died during my birth. Why is life so unfair? tongue

I just watched the first episode of Hanamaru Kindergarten. This was the perfect Brain Bleach to wipe out the end of Jupiter Jazz and both Monster episodes...those little girls are way too cute!

I'm at episode 4 of Kurau Phantom Memory at the moment. I'm liking it a lot right now. The characters just have something to them that makes them all really likable.

An FAQ I read somewhere said you just needed to complete the game once. I'll go double check.

Yeah, that's right. I did Akiha right after I did Ciel ('cause First Girl Wins and all...). So, all you need to do to unlock Akiha and Hisui is to reach one of the Near Side endings...

Episode 10 now. Why didn't I get this series earlier? And where is the love for it?

Kurau Phantom Memory REALLY needs more love.

Found out that Funimation's nearly caught up to where 4Kids left off in One Piece — we're back to Towards The Light. And a new ending, of course.

Interesting tidbit in the Times today-

the “Avatar” innovations were perfectly suited to prospective projects like “Battle Angel,” a film that is based on a Japanese comic and that has been in development for Mr. Cameron to direct at Fox.

James Cameron putting the innovations of Avatar to work in an anime-inspired Cyberpunk setting? YES PLEASE.

WARNING: GUSHING IMMINENT

Kimi Ni Todoke ep.s 3-10: Oh my fucking god,watching Sawako was like looking into a mirror. Her confusion over how you get friends,her uncertainty,the feeling of being less than everyone,the sheer joy of a simple invitation to come round to a, a friend's house,the wondering if they like you and wanting to do things for them,the not knowing what the hell certain emotions were - I did all that. And not just Sawako - add in Kazehaya's hesitation and nervousness around his crush,and you have me,essentially.
I'm actually tearing up now thinking of it...

Again,I had a big soppy grin on my face that would not go away when I was watching the two of them interact. I think I was crying too.

Where the hell were series like this when I was growing up? I coulda used it!

Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.

Disc 4 of ROD The TV just arrived at my house via Netflix. I lost a chance to win this in an eBay auction thanks to some last-minute bidding (I think the final price for the box set was around $90), so this is a bit of consolation for me. Once this is done, I'm gonna try to finish the two seasons of Black F***ing Lagoon that have been released so far (watched Episodes 1-4 until I found out that ROD was available).

I hope you get tiny bits of eggshell in all your omelettes for the rest of your life!

For all the complaining about K-On! you'll hear from Internet people (including me), there's a secret: Although it is a bit mindless and represents much of what is ruining anime, it's actually not that bad. Don't tell anyone I told you.

I don't think K-On's all that bad either...got some pretty good songs for a start, and just wait until you see their Sixth Ranger.

I have never understood the K-On! hate. From what I've seen of it, it's another Slice of Life high school show, based around a band. Why the backlash?

Hm, how should I explain...I think some were expecting it to live up to Haruhi Suzumiya season 1 episode 12 in terms of animation. Failing to do that, as well as the everyday conversation (and Four-Temperament Ensemble) you'd usually associate with Lucky Star was a turn off for a lot of people.

From what I saw, K-On is just... too much moe with little else going for it.

Granted, I only read the first chapter of the manga, but I put enough thought into my analysis to be able to write a liveblog about it!

Why the backlash?

It makes more money than Endless Eight.

People were expecting it to be hype-of-the-month crap, instead it became super-succesful, and I mean really ridiculously succesful.

Just finished another run through Tsukihime. Somehow ended up on Akiha's route. But then again, I stopped trying to pick specific choices once I realized how different the story was becoming on the Far-Side routes.

I'm also kinda wishing I had checked the "only install non-H scenes" option on the english patch/installer-thing.
