This is the last episode of the first season, something which I did not realize until halfway through the episode. The ending is rushed as expected and I think that it’s worse than Sunrise’s usual standard. Still, maybe season two will be better? At the very least it will have some funkier spacesuit designs.
As you can imagine from this picture, episode 24 is pretty emo. If you haven’t watched it yet, maybe you want to do that first before reading my usual cynical tearing down of what many people may find the most touching episode in the series. On the bright side, we are almost done! (Until season 2 at least.)
I have some things that I want to talk about and I have no other platform to say it. Therefore I shall be spending this blog post on a topic that holds next to zero relevance to what you are probably here for. If you are here just for the cynical Gundam humour or the pretty cosplay pictures, then feel free to ignore this entry because you will not find anything missed. But if you found that my previous rants offer you something new and worthy, then please read on.
My exams are next week, so I don’t have time to say too much. Not that I have much to say anyway since episode 23 consists of twenty minutes of pretty explosions and ambiguous character deaths.
Once upon a time there were three siblings (one with an unhealthy obsession with his sister) living happily in the forest. One day, a big bad mercenary appeared in front of them and shot two of them dead.
When story writers run out of ideas, character deaths are the best way to emulate plot progression, just like how lazy anime bloggers write crappy episode reviews instead of coming up with original content. *cough*
I have in my possession a brand new 8GiB Apple iPod touch and a Piano Black PSP-2006 and I want to sell them, so once again I am (ab)using this blog as my personal classified ads.
This entry is behind schedule due to various real-life circumstances and is in no way related to the recently-released ToHeart2 AnotherDays game.
This episode has dead corpses, people getting blown up and other awesome bits of content that are not suitable for children below the age of retirement. For maximum enjoyment, please disconnect cerebral cortex and temporarily suspend high-level cognitive functions. Also, put your phone on silent mode, you inconsiderate sob!
My favourite singer Maaya Sakamoto and famous anime composer Yoko Kanno are working on a new song together! Oh my god! This is like having two birthdays in the same year, except that my birthday this year was pretty crappy, so I guess it’s more like one and a half birthdays.
Sort of. The game doesn’t go on sale officially until the 29th, but Sofmap and other other shops are getting their stocks (more than 100,000 copies nationwide) today, and all new CDs and game releases are “out” the moment one of the otaku employees sneaks a copy home and uploads it onto Share.
ToHeart2 AnotherDays is a sequel (with new characters) to the popular visual novel ToHeart2, which in turn is a spin-off from the not-as-popular cult favourite ToHeart. It was announced more than a year ago in 2006 and will finally be out on Friday. As you should know, I am a certified Tama-nee fanboy, so this makes me quite :) (And if you didn’t, now you do.)
And the best thing in this game, not counting a new story path for Tama-nee because she obviously bulldozes the competition, is that Maaryan-senpai (with her awesome kick) is now a kouryaku character. Woohoo! This will be awesome! My copy is being delivered to me by magical electronic pixies via the intertubes now.
Ow, god my hurt heads. I slept on cold concrete floor last night without a proper pillow last night. I should really be sleeping early tonight…
Unfortunately, it’s already too late for that. Gah. This episode is pretty decent. I realized that the shorter each scene is in an episode of G00, the more interesting I find the episode to be. This probably has to do with the fact that I find most of the mindless dialogues boring, so rapid scene transitions serve to reset my bored-o-meter before weariness kicks in.
