The more I watch of anime, the more annoying everything gets. I can deal with things like huge eyes the size of the galaxy, but pink hair or green/orange hair? Isnt anyone else as annoyed as I am whenever I see ridiculous hair color. Its ridiculous.

And deus ex machina annoys me so much. Even in some of my favorite anime, theres moments of deus ex machina. It's practically a prerequisite for any anime ever to have deus ex machina. Especially those scenes with:
Hero: ARGH, Im hurt and stuff.
Villain: You're weak now. Die.
Hero: *Gets super powerful/other person saves him*
Villain: What!? That's impossible!!!!
Hero: *Proceeds to beat up Villain with come behind victory*

Especially those scenes in Hajime no Ippo when Ippo collapses on the ground and the count starts and the challenger thinks:
'That was a solid blow, theres no way hes getting up'
*Ippo gets up on, 8th count or so*
'No way! Impossible!'
And then it proceeds with the formula mentioned before.

Edit: Oh yeah, I also detest repetitive stories. Extremely repetitive as in Rosario+Vampire kind.

One thing that makes me so fascinated in anime shows is when any character may die.
I don't mean like, only one tragic death, but a LOT of character deaths. Ya know, characters with actual names who die.
And stay dead.
And deaths that make me care.
So far, I've only seen a couple of shows that does that: Fullmetal Alchemist, Monster, and Now and Then, Here and There
If there is any shows like that, tell me.
And Im still bored.

I feel so bored.
I usually would watch anime, or play video games, hell, just yesterday I couldnt wait to get home to finish Monster, but today, Im just bored.
Bored of school, anime, video games, everything. And Summer didn't even start yet.
I dont know why I just dont feel like watching anime at all right now. I would try to watch some heavily anticipated shows, but I would just close the window because I was simply forcing myself to watch it.
Making a blog about it should be a sign of how bored.

First of all, my parents got netflix because we love movies. We love it more than what would be accepted by the general public. But in short, we just love movies. But, onto the main subject.

So I chose the first movie to get, and I chose Memento because it interested me. Because, you see, Memento puts its scenes backwards and fills your head with untruth and liez! So its unique and I was attracted to that.

But Memento was fantastic. Its backwards progression made me ask myself questions and each scene answered old questions but created new ones in its place. But I wouldnt just praise a movie for no reason if its not a review. The entire point of this blog entry is because it reminded me of another series, Higurashi no naku koro ni. That anime series also filled my head with untruth. So, if any of you know any anime series which also has that feeling, the answers-old-questions-but-replaces-them-with-new-ones, then tell me and recommend them.

Recommend now.

Please.

See, I just used my courteous manners. You now owe me twice the nonexistant obligation that you owed me before for that "please". If you understand my last sentence.

By my troth, Im off!

Wow, I just noticed that all the anime I like are under the same studio.

Rurouni Kenshin: Tsuiokuhen and Higurashi have the same studio

And same with Lain, H & C, Elfen Lied, Kinos Journey, and Azumanga Daioh.

As the title says, unexpectedness.

I dont know why I even posted this. Probably because I am trying to bombard you with useless knowledge.

What should I do otherwise, not tell you useless facts?

Pffft.

(Insert badly, lazily placed conclusion)

Finally got to 50 completed anime. But so much on my list to go. : (

As soon as I finish Toki Wo Kakeru Shoujo, Gurren Laggan, Honey & Clover, Code Geass, Mushishi, NHK, Kimi ga Nozomu Eien, then I can truly brag that I have absolutely no life and I can live happily. SHAPOW!

*glee*

The above are the ones I want to finish the most, by the way.
