The idea came into me before Valentine’s Day. “Who’s going to be your fictional valentine, and what kind of sweet would you expect from her?” Since I was afraid to ask anybody who’s not into fictional valentines, or anybody who doesn’t like sweets and desserts like I do, I asked 2DT first (which he replied quickly with a nice little post here).

It’s like Touhou Nekomata: You can show how you’re rabidly cute… WITH A CHAINSAW.
The game is moving in a steady phase somehow. Because of that, the blogosphere suddenly questioned a certain factor that makes us what makes us. Strength? Rage? Depth? Mindless Inclination? Rabid Determination? Surely, this goes beyond preference, depth, and the different ways to achieve satisfaction from the fandom, yes? So what about it?

Oh, it’s my turn already? Okay…
You may be wondering what am I doing. During Christmas break, ghostlightning, along with other notable anibloggers, agreed on an assignment: Each one of us will randomly pick (from a pool of suggested shows) a 12-episode long anime to watch, and everyone must write a post about their opinion on said show. That being said, it’s my turn for Show and Tell, and the show I’m going to talk about is none other than Kure-Nai.

And this is how I would describe my state of mind after watching its 12 episodes in one sitting.

Celebrating New Year’s Eve with ourselves… and ourselves: Mascots clockwise from top – Reimu Hakurei (Rainbowsphere’s co-mascot), Mils (Miluda’s mascot), Palette (Rainbowsphere’s current mascot), Unnamed Character (Walfas‘ mascot).

Now, do go on, don’t mind me. I’m just a weird person who’s smiling wickedly by itself while watching attempts of camaraderie.
It’s been a while since I last found myself reading Saturnity’s grand enlightenment again. Now, it’s safe to say I can gladly blame him for concocting another pastime for myself: Observing fanclubs. And judging by the streak it’s making, it’s as interesting as your usual dose of Internet dorama. I’m not going to force you guys to take this ride, but I do appreciate if you hear me out on how the ride’s going so far.
