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.

To explain the cause of this post, I’ll be short and quick: Thanks to Baka-Raptor, I’m never going to watch Cromartie High School, EVER.

It’s every man’s dream. Find me a man who won’t ignite the fire on his loins while looking at this picture, and I might gladly kill myself. Wait, Shin’s one. OHSHI-

“Y’know, people who don’t have any problems are the biggest problem for me.”
It’s been more than a week since Kuchu Buranko ended. And while each and everyone of us tried to make up for anything from the holidays, the show ended like that. Just like that. As if mocking us to be mental while being sentimental. Well, if that’s the case, I’ll take it as a reason to write a post about it.

When I was trying to write my first post for Suspended Animation Dreams, I was stumped, since most of the ideas for the posts are those that I want to post here in Rainbowsphere instead of in SAD.

However, the notions for heavy self-evaluation and the general interest on the idea stuck onto me so bad, I told him I’d still post it in here rather than on SAD, hence this post.

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).
It’s officially a new year here (one hour ahead of Tokyo time), and with it come new hopes, new dreams, new aspirations and inspirations. The new chapter unfolds, and our role is to fruitfully pass the time, bearing the constant reminder that time is unstoppable and therefore, precious.
