Nana Mizuki – Dancing in the velvet moon
Dancing in the velvet moon is one of the songs on Nana Mizuki’s new mini album STARCAMP EP, and it also happens to be the ED theme to Rosario + Vampire‘s unbearably fanservicy anime adaptation, which, I shall once again … Continue reading
Gundam 00 — Episode 18
This post was delayed because I was at three separate Chinese New Year-related social functions over the 24-hour span of period between 8am Saturday and 8am Sunday. I only reached home this morning. But fret not, for this sudden spontaneous … Continue reading
Why I Love and Hate Linux
For no particular reason, I decided to install Linux to a new disk partition today. It’s been a while since my last encounter with the OS (some ancient version of Gentoo) and things have changed a lot. Linux’s graphical interface … Continue reading
The Brilliant Green – Ash Like Snow
Ash Like Snow is the second OP theme to Gundam 00. I was never a fan of the brilliant green and I still think that this song doesn’t feel OP-ish, but the lyrics are great and the booklet art has … Continue reading
Gundam 00 — Episode 17
Wow cool, I actually found this episode to be pretty enjoyable, not because the writing suddenly took a turn for the better or anything (it didn’t), but because it’s just hilariously entertaining. Now I may sound like I’m being sarcastic … Continue reading
Stephanie – Friends
By my usual post-title-naming convention, this entry should have been “Gundam 00 – Friends”, but I decided that G00 isn’t worthy of this song. Also, I think I have more than enough entries on that as it is. So anyway, … Continue reading
Gundam 00 — Episode 16
The cardinal laws of Gundam story-telling: When things go wrong, it just means that it’s time to throw new Gundams at them, and when animators fall behind schedule, it’s time to do a recap episode and disguise it as real … Continue reading
Arisa Mizuhara Interview
If you were keeping up with my C73 coverage, you would know that I had the pleasure of meeting Arisa Mizuhara live on day three. For those of you who are oblivious to who she is, Arisa Mizuhara (水原ã‚ã‚Šã•) is … Continue reading
Gundam 00 — Episode 15
This is one predictable episode. I mean, the title “Broken Wings” pretty much spoils any element of suspense that Sunrise’s scriptwriters can possibly muster, assuming they try at all. So yeah, the Gundams all get owned in a spectacular fashion, … Continue reading
Anime DVD industry approaching limit
Anime! Anime! has an article up about the lack of growth in Japan’s anime DVD industry. (Link is in Japanese.) The article focuses on DVD sales in particular, which traditionally does quite well in Japan. It also makes some comparisons … Continue reading
Gundam 00 — Episode 14
This episode is quite interesting. It’s a build-up for the huge battle that is coming soon, so there’s a whole bunch of talking and I like talking episodes, as long as it’s not mostly teenage angst. There are some new … Continue reading
Sunset
It’s been about a week since I returned from Tokyo. School’s back in full-swing after two months of being sealed in an alternate dimension. This is going to be one busy year… The one thing that really feels different about … Continue reading
