Yup yup! I was quite surprised as to how each individual 2-episode arc was able to contribute something to the overall developing plot, even when the connection seems remote, each episode just seems to add that one extra piece to the puzzle.

Haha! Same here! I would really like to see how things go from here on out, the existing relationship between the two of them is already somewhat awkward, and with Hei's identity revealed things are just going to get messier =P

Hmm...I was pinning my hopes on Mao still being alive, although the clues dropped at the end of the episode pointed otherwise, then again, Mao is the cat with a "server" connection elsewhere, maybe he could pull off the stunt that Kusanagi did in GitS =D haha, ok, maybe that's stretching it too much =P

Oh yah, I've finished reading your review for Mushishi. And...Wow, it's a pretty good review! I found myself laughing reading the segment on generic characters found in the show =P Which was quite true in some sense, since the art work for the animation is very similar, and the general variation to the character style was somewhat minimum, "Every little girl character looks like every other little girl character, and every middle-aged man villager looks like every other in the same category" It wasn't just in the physical sense that they're the same even their character/personality seems to scream generic-ism. In spite of this, I was quite surprised to learn that they actually used a very huge cast of voice casters; almost a new one for each major character for each episode! That's something truly rare, and gave the somewhat generic characters a fresh lest of life.

I also noticed that you mentioned something about wishing for a deeper, more philosophical connection between Ginko and Mushi. It is definitely one the areas in which there was room for exploration, and if they had undertaken the task, it would have added even more depth to the series ;)

Anyway, I think the review was very detail, not to mentioned systematic, so keep up the good work ;) It was a pleasure reading it! Oh yah, just curious, I'm still somewhat new to the anime scene, so I was wondering if all anime reviews are broken up into the various components which you had detailed in your reviews.

I see! I guess in some ways, the lack of explanations gives it more it a more open ended interpretation. haha, oh well, I think Li-Kun/Hei and his various interactions with the people around him was probably the key reason why I watched it :)

haha, It's K ;) Cos, right now I'm just casually looking around for other animes which share similar vibes to what DtB has to offer, so I'm making little queries here and there. Same here, I would still prefer stuff with more solid explanation at its base works, at least the producers can't randomly pull off some deus ex machina stunt half way thru :S. Judging from that comment alone, I guess you would probably like Ghost in The Shell or Paprika or maybe even mushishi?

Very insightful review on DTB! I have to say that in many ways, I share alot of similar opinions with you regarding the series, esp. the introduction abt how the anime essentially explains nothing, and how so much ambiguity seems to span the entire anime yet, somehow, I still felt for the anime inspite of my initial misgivings abt the anime. Perhaps this is because I just finished Witch Hunter Robin before embarking on DTB, which probably explains why my expectations were slight sheared.

Anyway, I'm kinda happy tho to know that there would be a seqeual to follow up on the series, given the rather open ended conclusion to the anime ^^

Hi. Just wanted to drop by to say how much I love your reviews. lmao. Anyhow, yeah. Keep it up! :D

xx

I saw that. Its ok,graphics r awesome,story is not too bad,intro song is epic,but the music during the movie...like some old tom & jery hehe :)
But im looking for series,not just a movie...

HALLO.

Whoops, forgot that I swapped out Code Geass for TTGL just the other day. My bad. Still, it's the thought that counts, no?

You've probably seen me on the anime blogosphere at some point, I'm afraid. I hardly post on the forums. My last post was a new thread in Suggestions that was promptly locked because the feature I suggested was about to be implemented, apparently.

You are an exquisite reviewer.
