How have things been going? Are you keeping up with the Spice and Wolf novels?

Penguindrum is one of those super rare cases where I'd rather drop the series then soldier through it and add it to my harem of completed tiles. There are some parts of it that were fresh and interesting, but it mostly comes off as pretentious faffing. Maybe I'll come back to it one day.

You need to get on Nisemonogatari, and don't forget Kizumonogatari is going to air soon, and a bunch of Nisio's other works are getting animated now too.

I had gotten worried that Yen Press hadn't updated their release schedule for the Spice and Wolf novels. I talked to the head of sales and he says they plan on release all 17 novels, but they just haven't gotten a schedule hammered out. It'll be a long time before we see the end of it, but it's great news we're going to actually be able to see it.

Anything with a 7 and up on my currently watching list I recommend. If you haven't watched Bakemonogatari or Star Driver that should be your top priority. I got fed up with Bakuman and Mawaru Penguindrum last season so I couldn't really recommend those.

Is it just me, or is anime very aggravating lately? I think I might just be expecting too much these days, but I'd hate to lower my standards. Gundam Age has got me worried the most. It's like the the final nail in Gundam's coffin is labeled with a big 'F**K You'. Unicorn will inevitably be the only hope of saving the Gundam Corpse.

considering for about six years I'd get about 4-6 hours of sleep daily and would spend twice as much as that watching anime, it's not impossible. Helps having a minimal social life I guess. It's my one true obsessive hobby. God knows I'd probably become a NEET if I let myself lol.

I've officially reached over a year's worth of accumulated anime watching. Is this... a birthday?

It was awfully early. I was only four and didn't really know what I had watched until years later. I also saw reruns of Gatchaman and didn't realize that was anime for a very long time, same with Golions.

I prefer things with strong characters and strong character relationships, and as long as the show has something interesting about it I'll watch it regardless what genre it happens to be.

Considering that I've watched WAY too much anime, I can make a lot of recommendations. Tears to Tiara, both Ef anime, Itazura na Kiss, Bounen no Xamdou, Sekai no Monshou, Heroic Age, Higashi no Eden, Durararara, and Jyuu Oh Sei are just a few I must push as absolute must watch anime.

I have truly become an otaku at this point. I've been teaching myself Japanese on the side, and I've gained a significant amount of comprehension in only 5 months.

I've been watching anime since I saw a fansub (back in the day when groups were mostly members of college clubs) of Kidou Senshi Gundam way back in 1989. I guess I identify most with anime as a medium. In an age where even video games have been disappointing me, and I gave up on the American cartoon market over a decade ago, anime has consistently been a bright point through it all.

I've been pretty good, just trying to survive work these days. I've actually never been to any of those places as I'm not a big fan of SC. Do you visit often?

Zakuro is absolutely amazing, but be forwarned it's primarily a fluffy love story focusing on three different hanyou girls and their military manmeats. Every episode meets and exceeds my expectations which is near impossible at this point. Stardriver is like a mix between rahxephon and gurren lagann with some bishie and some super ridiculous camp thrown in, there's a lot to love.

SPICE AND WOLF S2!!! eeeeeeeeeeee. Tales of the Abyss elicits the same girly squeel. It's a good time to like anime.

What's been going on with you? I see you're trying to catch up on your mecha anime :)

dude! HAPPY BIRTHDAAAAYAYAY :D
hope you stay healthy so you can enjoy a lot of open airs festivals and other concerts next year! ;D

greetings

I feel like I'm in the same boat agewise. I'm 23 now and When I watch shows about fifteen-something schoolkids I feel like I should not be watching them. That's why I like the manga Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou. It's the most laidback thing I've ever seen, best manga and best Slice of Life I've eve rseen. Made me feel a lot calmer then usual, very wierd.

Mwahaha, its awesome to meet someone with the same tastes. I used a cropped zone from a picture of bobbing apples in water, and overlayed it with a greatly fadded paintbrush managerie of stars, I tried to make it very "Horo". Wasn't sure If I got the effect right? Are you a fan of Spice and Wolf?
