With the abrupt decision of dropping Railgun (because the manga is picking up the pace after the Level Upper arc, thanks to the scanlators that left it in limbo months ago), we continue on with just Kuchu Buranko for this season. I’m not exactly optimistic on watching this episode, since it tackles something that young people have to deal with (yes! I’m not young, and I’m not giving any emphasis on my age either, since most of you wouldn’t want to know it anyway!), but after watching it a bit, I suddenly thought: “This also applies to bloggers like us, right?”
“The Devil finds work for idle hands.”

Rainbowsphere’s new prototype mascot Palette (by Tfir), self-reflection, self-reflection, and more self-reflection.
It’s been nearly half a year since I went on hiatus, and after the recent comeback, I’ve been managing the site just fine. I don’t see any rush, nor do I see anything that ties me down on the way I write. The people around me have been so good when I returned, and I feel at ease knowing I picked the right time to start again, while secretly smiling at the fact that my stubbornness may have lead to me not giving up more than a year’s worth of fun times and roller-coaster Internet life.

animekritik and I talked about what’s in episode five of Kuchu Buranko/Trapeze, and we’re quite in high spirits that it will deliver something good, yet bad in a sinister kind of way, and it did. The episode’s theme is quite simple: It’s all about releasing the kid in us, the prankster in all of us, and getting away with it to tell the tale.
No picture available.

Strike Witches x Touhou by 藤島製１号
To be frank, I don’t know where I started to like the genre of mecha-musume. The very first instance, if I remember correctly, was when Bubblegum Crisis started airing alongside Gundam shows, curious on the idea of busty girls wearing thick, sexy, tight-fit armor. Before I knew it, was browsing for mecha-musume pictures, and was enslaved by this certain unknown artist that I can’t remember anymore (and no, he’s not Shimada Fumikane of Strike Witches fame). He drew mecha-musume for old models of tanks and planes, which only deepened my liking for the genre. That was the very first time that I loved the idea of combining the charm of a girl and the spunk of a machine. Like how Seihou is West and Touhou is East, this fanaticism for technology became parallel with my love for fantasy and the supernatural.

This statement for the image does not concern any James Bond movie, nor does this concern baseball or the episode, but “Diamonds are Forever”, you know…
Again, Kuchu Buranko/Trapeze. You’ve bought me yet again. Why do I have to fall in love with a show so confusing, demented, and even maniacal to the point where I can’t stop my fingers from writing my perception to each of its episodes?
