And we decided to start a new blog together. (Please click it, bookmark it, Visit often etc. You know the works)
Yes Indeed, I have again moved to a new blog. Cant stay one place too long, can I? I’d like to thank Sasa for offering the opportunity to blog again. I seriously thought that I was done when I closed Karoshi up, but I was pushed and prodded and I started to blog here. Then I sorta got the passion back… Buuuut I was posting too many junk posts here so I decided to go and make my own place where I can be a spammer like Lolikit. I will explain more in the intro post there.

Not much really to say about this ep. Alto behaves like a stupid fuck, goes dere dere with Sheryl and well it´s just a big dissapointment really, except for the final four minutes which is saved by the concert that Sheryl holds. Watch below

With all my talking about Macross Frontier and how godly it is I just have to bring everyone´s attention to another show that I also enjoyed when I was younger. The reasons are almost the same, love triangle, great music, mysterious enemies and all that.

I´ve already written this kind of post but then it was over at Otoboku.se(Rest in Peace my dear) but after I had to remove it and install wordpress again and every thing that screwed me over well the posts dissapeared.
Instead now I´ll bring you my room, in contrast to Sasa´s
The philosophy of Kaiba can be roughly summarized as such:
1. The intellectual smart bloggers find Kaiba OMFGAWESOME and post horribly insightful comments on it.
2. I find Kaiba awesome and will post some horribly pretentious comment on it.
3. Therefore I am an intellectual smart blogger.
Actually Kaiba is able to produce a cute character!

Foreground: A tiny Licca doll in kabuki clothes, a pen, a mirror, two postcards, a tiny bookmark in the form of a japanese doll and a lucky charm in the form of a turtle
Background: My evil studying notes, a stack of envelopes and these horrendous earplugs that come with an iPod *hrr hrr*
Today, I met up with a japanese friend because we are both leaving soon (lucky her, she’s going to finish in PhD in Japan, aaah) and these are some good bye presents. What I find really interesting is the whole tradition behind this: I find all these items extremely cute and you can clearly see that she most probably have brought them from Japan as some of these things are in their original packages (with a 20kg limit, what the heck?)

So, Haesslich was right, I have to write about episode 05 of Macross Frontier since it just rocks so damn hard. For all of you that haven´t seen it or are waiting for the subs. Don´t continue to read on since it´ll pretty much spoil the whole episode for you. It´s that good!!

Inspired by MrMayat’s real-life-slice-of-life post, I remembered that I have been wanting to do an otaku room post for quite awhile but never did it because my room does not look like an otaku room at all - so here’s the solution: Let’s define it as a “closet otaku room”.
Why am I a closet otaku anyways? I have never been shunned for watching anime or reading manga, in fact, there were lots of people in my high school who did both as well, just not as excessively as I did. However, I simply don’t like it and just like TJ, I would always say “films, literature and cooking” or something.

So, finally I´m going to write my second opinion on Kanokon… as always when it comes to this show it is ecchi and NSFW material so you might not want to continue reading. Otherwise if you have the age and everything going, please write a comment on how bad Kanokon has turned(atleast over these two eps)

Ah, I see, Osusu is still having fun fulfilling the prejudices of the “rage of Sasa’s cobloggers”, haha. As for myself, I shall finally write something about anime too.
It’s the first time in my multiple years of blogging that I ever wrote a “First impressions” post because it’s always been a weird feeling to judge a series based on its first episodes. This time however, I find it appropriate because instead of joining my fellow bloggers, I’ve been watching so incredibly many first episodes. In comparison, I have never watched more than five first episodes for the last two years. Why you wonder? Because it’s so much fun to watch something new without knowing beforehand what awaits you - I’m horribly ignoring my backlog for that.
So this is the result of my first-episodes watching spree (warning: business school bullet points ahead!):
The cutest anime character since Hagu!
#1: Chii’s Sweet Home
+ It’s Chii!
+ I’ve been told that I am just like Chii (erm?)
+ It comes out so often - is it really airing daily? Amazing.
- Every episode is so short. It’s a great anime for a break, but honestly I think 5 minutes would be nicer.
Verdict: Continued.
After 6 episodes, I have yet again discovered that I need iyashikei anime like air to breathe.
Actually shampooing Murasaki is marginally cuter than Chii!
#2: Kurenai
+ I used to like Red Garden’s character designs, so it’s the same for me here.
- The first episode had a really bad start in my opinion. For somebody who does not know what’s going on there, it’s quite a chore to go through the scenes not knowing who is who and what motives are behind these people’s actions.
+ I was immediately hooked when the main character and Murasaki came into contact. They already have a great chemistry.
+ Murasaki is so cute! She’s so much more adorable than all other lolis of the past year altogether, hm hm!
Verdict: Continued.
Ultimately, I found the second half of the episode and I can’t wait for seeing more Murasaki “action”.
