Giant Robo has always fascinated me even after I watched it for so many times. The first viewing gave me what it had to offer at face value, and I couldn’t find fault in it. The second one was critical for me, because I got an even more powerful experience especially watching its climactic scenes. I watched it less at that point to get the plot, but as a person who began to feel for the characters on the show. The third viewing, which I did today, had a specific purpose: To do justice for all the father figures that played a great part on the show.
Please pardon the spoilers that will follow for anyone who hasn’t watched, or plans to watch, Giant Robo: The Day The Earth Stood Still.

It’s been a while. After all I’ve been through during the past three months, I’m back. There are many things I would like to discuss, but right now, I must do something very special for this day.

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).
… Yes?

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.
