Yesterday, I talked about how happy and excited I was about the Rurouni Kenshin revival that has been going on this year, and discussed how godly my hype is for the live-action movie. But let me just clarify, I’m not only going to talk about notable shows/characters this year (best saved for a New Years [...]

Continuing the planned series of Haruhi-rewatch blog posts that started with the first episode, during the beginning of 2008  (yes, I’m *that* bad). Considering it was 2008 back when I wrote that, these subsequent posts won’t be from the same viewing – by this time (the end of 2012), I’ve already re-watched the series AGAIN [...]

Before it was an anime or manga, the story of Haruhi Suzumiya was originally a series of light novels (aka: books with pictures) released in Japan. It is the tale of an energetic-but-jerkish high [...]

The main title female protagonist. After sitting on this release for far longer than I did with the first installment (two years at the minimum I think), I finally gets around to watch it so that I can clear my huge backlog. As shown in the title, this supposedly second season of the Haruhi Suzumiya [...] Related posts: Review: The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (涼宮ハルヒの憂鬱) Is the hype about this anime really worth it or not? Read on for the mini-review. After sitting on this series The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya for quite some time, I watched it in a single stretch and here is my take of one of the most hyped series in 2006. Is this anime really [...]... Review: Hatenkou Yuugi (破天荒遊戯) The moment I see her eyes, I know I have to make a screenshot so that I can put it up with this review. More manga reading prevents me from watching the short 10-episode Hatenkou Yugi straight away. I did get around watching this series yesterday, and immediately I regret doing so in the end. [...]... Review: Fractale (フラクタル) The main male protagonist, not really comfortable around naked girls. The end of the ‘Anime of the Year 2011’ audition is now in sight with Fractale, the 9th 2011 anime title is being reviewed today. Outside the single-episode Highschool of the Dead OVA, this is the shortest series in the audition with only 11 episodes. [...]... Review: Nisemonogatari (偽物語) The main male protagonist, still escaping the full wrath of Japanese law! The audition for this blog’s ‘Anime of the Year 2012’ ends with the only sequel in the line-up, titled Nisemonogatari. This anime is the only sequel in the audition, being the follow-up of Bakemonogatari, which I have reviewed here before. This sequel has [...]... Review: Wolf and Spice 2 (狼と香辛料Ⅱ) The main male protagonist is at the bottom left (his back turned to you), while the main female protagonist is at the bottom right. Only one screenshot are taken when watching this anime, so please forgive me about the lack of pictures in this blog entry. Just like what I have mentioned in my last [...]...

Throughout the summer, AT-X has been re-airing the Haruhi Suzumiya anime series. Each week, they would show two episodes at a time. Back in early June, I thought it would be a fun idea to re-watch the series two episodes at a time with them. I asked Yumeka and Goggen if they would join me [...]

My views on Disappearance were largely informed by Evirus, starting with the camrip post and following up with full-res pass. I’m pretty certain that Jonathan and Aziz must’ve blogged it too, but their websites are malfunctioning, so posts are impossible to find. Anyway, I do not remember them posting. Evirus, however, gave me a good [...]

Originally posted 19 Dec 2010 – We’ve been fans of Haruhi Suzumiya from the first episode of the original series back in 2006, and have remained fans ever since. She’s certainly a polarizing character most will either find charming or unbelievably annoying. The same goes with the Suzumiya franchise. It’s spawned dozens of imitations since [...]
