「 バットノットフォーミー」 "But Not For Me" Really, it isn’t supposed to look so effortless as Watanabe-sensei is making it look.

More love polygon action going on this week. Yeesh…there’s a lot of teen drama. Okay…where to start? Like a boss, Kaoru kisses Ritsuko, but she ends up running off. Poor guy…At least he gets a better understanding of Sentarou, who turns out to be just as uncomfortable at home as Kaoru is (bromance engage?). Meanwhile, [...]

With this, it’s clear that this series is going to go for a love polygon now that also Jun entered the picture. Normally this would make me worry, but with a series that is THIS good, I am getting really curious where this series plans to go to. Things right now are set up that [...]

Sakamichi no Apollon continues with a double date featuring new hotness Yurika. Unfortunately, the couples do not match up neatly, and we are faced with a love square. Ritsuko likes Sentarou, but Sentarou likes Yurika, and Kaoru likes Ritsuko. It’s not clear if Yurika likes anyone at this point. The boys get in an argument [...]

“Someday My Prince Will Come” My Bengals did well in the NFL Draft last week, but that’s not why you’ve clicked here. I remember this time las… “shut up Jrow. It’s time to discuss Apollon.” I’ve liked Kyokai’s format for her recent F/Z posts, and having dabbled in a similar style myself while blogging Jormungand, [...]

My favorite episode yet. I seriously thought that Sakamichi no Apollon will only focus on music but with how this episode turned out the romance part of the story is really great. It really moved me. One of my favorite anime genres has got to be romance and the romance shown in this episode of [...]

This episode was amazing. We have what for many shows would be an entire season’s worth of drama, all stuffed into one episode. No one can accuse this show of not making progress. But it wasn’t rushed either. The Invitation … Continue reading →

Episode 03 - Haha, oh yes. Without a doubt, this is one of my favorite series out of the season. It’s amazing just how well put together this series is, in particular it’s character interactions. The romance featured in this episode was amazingly well done; it was heartfelt, surprisingly sensitive and thoughtful, and all done [...]

I definitely haven’t been loath to willingly, even happily, adjust my expectations when it comes to this show’s music, but, after this episode, rather than accommodating any expectations, I’m beginning to feel that it just isn’t living up to them. What made the show feel so special in the first two episodes was how intimately [...]

So yeah. We have a cool new show about… Jazz Romance I am jazz with romance. How do I feel about jazz? It’s not like I know a lot about music. I usually just listen to whatever is on without any complaints. My mp3 player (currently my phone) I have a friend who likes jazz and other [...]

Ritsu has eyes for him [Sentarou]. He’s always on her mind. Right now, that doesn’t bother me at all since you tought me it was possible to fall in love like this. Kaoru, why won’t you realise that you spurt-out great lines about relationships? Wait, that’s a sign of great sccriptwriting and direction… Emphasis added [...]

Just a heads up to everyone, the first set of the Sakamichi no Apollon video sets will be released this July 27. (All of the releases for Sakamichi appear to have been rushed, with the series being only 12 episodes long. It’s a really nice series, do check it out.)

Someday My Prince Will Come The boys try to confess their feelings, which leads to a bunch of very…awkward…moments. If there’s one emotion that easily affects me from anime characters, it’s embarrassment. For instance, I had to pause the video and cover my mouth when Sentarou struggled to read the lines on his card. That nearly [...]
