Fun Stuff: Summer Season Impressions

Now that the summer season is in full swing, it's about time for me to take a look at the shows I've been watching and gather early impressions. Overall, I've been very pleased with my personal selections, as well as the variety of shows available this season overall. There's a little something for everyone this time around, and since I enjoy several different genres, I've been as happy as a clam over the diverse selection. Here's what I think thus far:



Attack on Titan (second half)

Ending Theme Song of Nekomonogatari (White) "Ai wo Utae"

One of chrams of the anime version of "Monogatari" series would be goodness of the theme songs.



The ending theme song of the first anime of the series "Bakemonogatari" was especially wonderful.

JJ's anime review: Bakemonogatari

WHAT IS A GHOST? WHAT IS A GOD? WHAT IS A VAMPIRE, A MONSTER, A HUMAN? ALL ARE JUST ABSTRACTS, WORDS WHOSE MEANING WE THINK WE KNOW. LOOK A LITTLE DEEPER, AND YOU MAY BE SURPRISED BY WHAT YOU FIND. IT COULD BE TRUTH, IT COULD BE THE ANSWERS YOU LOOK FOR, OR IT COULD, IN THE END, BE NOTHING MORE THAN SMOKE IN THE WIND. JUST ANOTHER GHOST, BUT IF YOU LOOK ONLY AT THE SURFACE, HOW WILL YOU EVER KNOW?

Effect of Music to Anime and Games

Today's topic is not animations or games but music.



I love music so much as well as animations and games as you may realize from previous articles in this blog.

Putting It All To Rest: Hourou Musuko and Aoi Hana

A couple of months into my senior year, Ion about how much I despised the J.C. Staff adaptation of Takako Shimura's Aoi Hana, which made me so violently angry, I would eventually claim that I sought to smash in my computer monitor by the third episode. The comment wasn't for effect; I'm too earnest for that. I oozed similar rage in , in which I more or less asserted that I was done seeking wholesale realism in anime, which for the most part tended not to come together, anyway. However out of whack I was over the course of that godawful year, I don't apologize for the particular sentiments. Such energy wasted over clumsy banging on the table! The feelings are still ambivalent or negative, but I don't care anymore. It's no longer worth it.

Anime Season Midterms

The final part, Sunday. Quite a few shows, some of them even air on Sunday, or late enough at night that I can't watch them before I get back from work. Definitely a strong day in terms of the shows it contains, probably the strongest day. I work on Sundays, alas, making it not as pleasurable as it could've otherwise been.
