No, not the game.
Best. Screenshot. Ever.
The sixth episode of Mysterious Girlfriend X was divided into two segments, and while the first one seems a bit normal and romantic in its own way, the latter part partly tackled one of Tsubaki’s most heart-wrenching moments. I’ll try not to spoil things here since I read the manga, but I’ll try to make it as meaty as possible.
She may not be the holy mother we thought she is, but she’s a mother nonetheless.
It’s Mother’s Day, a day where we pay our tributes to the mothers of the world. But instead of celebrating it by revering some of the most amazing moms in anime and manga, I chose to air my concerns for a mother that can only do so much: Fate/Zero‘s Irisviel Von Einzbern.

Ah, how long has it been?
May 6, 2008. Four years ago, on this very day, Rainbowsphere officially made itself known in the blogosphere. I find it hard to believe that I’ve persevered for long, and that I’m still going strong. I went through a lot of ups and downs, met a lot of interesting people, and ultimately had a lot of fun. Looking back, I can truthfully say that I don’t regret my decision to start a blog to express myself.
Oops, wrong drawer.
During the course of my blogging lifetime, I left a very long trail of drafts. Serving mainly as repositories of past ideas, I purposefully left these posts unfinished until I can muster enough experience, material, and motivation to complete them. But due to time and my own limitations, I have left the majority of these posts to collect dust in the folder in which they were filed.
To vote or not to vote? That is the question.
I’m sure some of you are aware of the aniblog tourney that’s currently underway. As a non-participant, I feel the need to express my thoughts about it, because I know that it’ll affect my status and outlook in aniblogging.
The first episodes of Acchi Kocchi (あっちこっち) were actually enjoyable compared to the staple slice-of-life shows of the past. The show’s pacing isn’t too fast or too slow, the characters are very lovable, and the antics have a new flair despite being the norm. Simply put, it’s easy to digest, even for someone without a knack for slice-of-life such as myself.

“I ask of you: Are you my (Web)Master?”
For some of you who’ve visited the site over the last twelve hours, I’m sure you noticed that the blog has been flagged as “possibly having malware”. I would like to issue my sincere apologies for the troubles it may have caused. It should be fixed now, so you don’t have to worry one bit about malware or anything of the sort.
Google flagged the blog twelve hours ago, so I tried to diagnose and fix the problem. The actual problem?
It seems that the other sites hosted by DreamHost were affected by malware, and Google flagged the entire domain, including the safe sites. I’ve been waiting for a reply from Google on the site review that I requested, but it seems that that isn’t needed anymore.
On a final note, please be reminded that the site may possibly still show problems (which I hope doesn’t include malware AGAIN) since it’s fresh from an half-assed site cleanup. If you ever see anything wrong, please notify me on Twitter (you know where to get me) or my email (shancerainbowsphere{at}gmail{dot}com).
Have fun and thank you for flying Rainbowsphere! Now, back to regular programming…
