[Centaurea-Raws] 家なき子 Nobody's Boy Remi 1977 EP03 (BDRip 1440X1080 X265 Main10p flacX2 FRE)2

How did you end up where you are now in life? How did you meet the people you know, gain the skills you have, develop the tastes you have? Were you always just pushed around by the circumstances of your life, or is it possible that the media you chose to immerse yourself in has pulled you to where you are? To the extent that I have a life (hah!), I can trace it all back to a combination of experiencing hardships at a very young age and coming into contact with a few dubbed kids anime around the same time.

As a warning, this is quite long. My usual issue on this blog, really. Continue reading →

Rebuild of Evangelion Did Not Deserve Its Happy End

Rebuild of Evangelion was a highly hyped re-exploration of the story of Evangelion. Some saw it as a retelling, others argue it’s really more of a sequel. I’m not interested in that argument. My personal opinion of the series of movies is that they were unnecessary and added little value to the existing Evangelion content we had. This is also an opinion that’s fundamentally related to my main point, which is that Rebuild did nothing to actually deserve its ending, making it actually the shittiest ending Eva has offered in animated form.

I know, you’re already confused by the title. But don’t worry! It will be okay. I’ll explain everything, and even give you some examples of where I think Macross took vital inspiration from conspiracy theorists. It will be done in a way that isn’t as brief or clear as it should be, because that’s just how I write. I’m also rusty because this blog has been dead for years. Brace yourselves.

There are spoilers for specific plot points of Macross Zero and Delta, so as long as you’ve seen those and have general knowledge of the franchise otherwise you should be good. Continue reading →

CG in Anime (I’m still dead)

Ah, CG in anime. This is not a controversial subject like dubs vs. subs. It’s kind of a nearly universal thing that anime fans hate. Obviously not everyone hates it, but you would be hard pressed to find someone willing to defend it. Over time I’ve started noticing some things about CG, and with a certain new CG anime already reaching a large number of anime fans, now seems like a good time to post some of the more prominent thoughts I’ve had swimming around in my head.

Whatever that means.

Welcome to Sandra’s post on ten years of Precure. What that entails is actually aimless and completely pointless ramblings about each series (no movies, sorry), hopefully with a focus on what I loved and liked in each series. Important warnings to take note of: this is long, and each section has SPOILERS for that series. And Doki Doki has spoilers for The Happy Prince but it’s not like you’re ever going to actually read it, so… so… :( Continue reading →

Courage the Cowardly Dog vs. Anime

Look at all these moonrunes.

Look at all these moonrunes.

Definition of anime: Japanese animation. With that definition and the above screenshot, I posit that Courage the Cowardly Dog is an anime. The point of this post isn’t to argue this further, but if you want to argue against what I’ve just established as fact, I’ll go ahead and draw you a syntax tree or something. That’ll show you.

What I’m going to argue today is that Courage the Cowardly Dog is better than a lot of anime that a lot of people actually liked. And by a lot I mean actually just a handful because I thought and wrote this entire post up only four hours ago. Have fun. Continue reading →

Best of 2013

2013

2013 is finally over, at least for any future timezone, real timezone, and any super cool but outdated timezone (also known as my timezone). It’s not over yet for the lame timezones though. For those in superior timezones who are no longer stuck in the past and are instead looking optimistically towards the future, let’s all sit down, have a toast (also eat toast), and think back on this past year.

Man, those sure were the days. Good times. Anime was also pretty great this year and anime will never be as great tomorrow as it was today. In fact, it was so great that I decided to write about the anime and opening/ending sequences that I thought were the best from 2013. I’ve never done this before, so bear with me. Continue reading →

This Macross Frontier Guy is Totally Hiding Something

What is he hiding?!

Here I was, wondering what I was going to post this Friday as I have yet to prepare another review (too much Precure to watch, too many elementary schoolers demanding that I hug them after school gets out instead of going home). Knowing I had a folder full of amusing screenshots, I began my search and found this mysterious Macross Frontier screenshot. It’s actually not mysterious at all and I don’t remember who these people are because they weren’t important, but take a look at that security guy’s face. What’s he so happy about? It can’t be anything legal, that’s for sure.
