1. bateszi: @THM - Ahh, it’s great to hear from a fellow fan of Orson Scott Card (which, I must confess, was one of my secret intentions with this post ). Ender’s Game is, quite...
2. THM: how lovely that you’ve mentioned Orson Scott Card. He has been one of my favorite sf writers for a long long time. I’ve read Enders saga a few times, as a kid and even a few yeas...
3. neoban-wut-zia: Happy Holidays/New year to you too! Look forward to another year of anime and general procrastination :P. I try not to think of how minuscule my existence is within a broad...
4. Watch Naruto Episodes: Thanks for the great post. Keep up the hard work.
5. Johny: Merry Christmas to you all too. I’m spending the holiday in a great atmopshere with my closest family, so I didn’t really feel the urge to watch anime (well, not until reading...
6. Martin: Happy christmas to you as well. I must say I’m not catching up on things as much as I thought but eh, the festive holiday is all about relaxing at home with family (which I’m...
7. bateszi: @IKnight - The tiny differences between everyone’s families are really interesting. I guess we all have our own traditions for Christmas! IIRC, you don’t have a TV either,...
8. 0rion: Merry Christmas to you as well, and good luck with finishing Galactic Heroes. =P

Never knows best; my ‘review’ of FLCL (33)

1. Lexi: A favorite of mine as well. I can sum it up in one word, too. ‘what’
2. konkon: Indeed a favorite of mine. I rather enjoyed your review and found it accurate to my own thoughts on the series.
3. Meh: Obviously you weren’t paying attention if you think that. Also 6 episodes at 30 mins a pop is not 6 hours >,> I’m sure some of you will disagree with me on this point, but...

Can you see those stars, Felix? Or are you just drunk with blood-colored dreams? (7)

1. bateszi: @Martin - Cool. LOGH is like an otaku’s rite of passage. After you reach a certain point in your anime fandom, it’s hard to ignore. @IKnight - There’s so much more I...
2. lelangir: @IKnight - ahhhh yesss, Bucock’s wife’s wordless understanding was amazing.
3. lelangir: Nice, and great screencaps. And listening to the final movement of Mahler’s 2nd (coincidentally, the first movement is the first BGM song played in the anime) will really bring on...
4. kuromitsu: Wow! Thanks for the fantastic write-up. And way to make me cry on the first day of the new year. ^^;; That “you too, Felix?” never fails to break my heart. As for the...
5. IKnight: Bravo. Reading this was like experiencing some small part of the story again. I had to break out the fourth movement of Dvořák’s Symphony No. 9 just to accompany your post. It...
6. Martin: I skipped the spoilerific bits. I’ll pick this back up again after I’ve finished Tytania, promise! ^_^

Love will tear us apart (17)

1. Rincewind: Ah, true tears, I liked so much this anime. And hated pretty much the ending. Not only he doesnt choose Noe, but the ending feels rushed and unpolished. This needs an OVA, like the new...
2. Johny: I finished watching True Tears some time ago and while it wasn’t bad, it didn’t really change my approach towards romance anime. I still find the overwhelming drama to be...

The difference between original anime and manga adaptations: soul (24)

1. Maria: With Claymore, yeah it’s a little slow and sometimes very monochrome but when I think of the world of Claymore it seems appropriate what with it’s undertones of ‘grey...
