(Bi)Weekly Review of Anime Watched (June 15 – 28)

As the spring season gives way to the summer season of anime we are in a ‘make or brake’ time – can the 1-season animes finish well and can the 2-season animes not get bogged down at their midway point. Well, we’ll see. First up is a show that continues to be my favorite show [...]

Kure-nai Series Review

(As a side note to people coming from animenano, my last post wasn’t listed on there for some reason - so if you want to read that as well, please do and find out why I’ve been derailed by spore.)
The precocious child, Murasaki, was the fire behind what made this show good but her circumstances, [...]

Derailed by Spore

As you can see this isn’t my review of Kure-nai but it still is coming. I’ve been side-tracked this week and it’s thanks to Spore and it’s Creature Creator. Therefore, it’s getting a post along with a few odds’n’ends (and only one of them is anime related) so read at your own risk.

Melody of Oblivion – Series Review

I read a comment about this show on a blog and decided to give it a go. The idea of a Gainax – J.C. Staff project sounded like a good idea but I forgot this Gainax was pre-Gurren Lagann Gainax. Oh well, maybe next time they work together we’ll get Potemayo operating a mech with [...]

Someday’s Dreamers Season 1 - Series Review

The ending to Kure-nai gave me a lot to think about and thus I didn’t feel like writing anything till I figured out if I liked the ending or not. I think I’m ready so to warm up, I’m going to do a couple of other series review first. Both were older series I watched [...]

Tokyo Godfathers on American TV

Just a quick note. I was channel surfing last night and on a channel I’ve never watched, Ovation TV, was a movie showing called Tokyo Godfathers. I thought to myself - there’s no way someone would be showing Satoshi Kon’s Tokyo Godfathers so I waited for the commercial break to end. Yes they were showing [...]

Pythagora Switch (Pitagora Suicchi)

If you know where to look then you might have come across show already. It’s called Pythagora Switch and it’s a children’s educational show from Japan that is a blast to watch.

Weekly Review (June 8-14) of Anime Watched - Bad Haiku Edition

End of the school year must have put a damper on the fansubbers out there since many of the shows I’m watching from the spring season didn’t get released this week. That’s okay - it gave me time to try out vector tracing. Since there was only a few shows I thought I’d try something [...]

My First Vector Trace - Murasaki Wallpaper

As the title says I did my first vector trace. I chose to do Murasaki, from Kure-nai, since I had a nice screenshot from episode 8 when she was in her kimono. I’ve been wanting to learn how to do vector tracing for a long while but was always to intimidated to try. When I [...]
