A “No Problem?” x “No Problem!” Problem: Trapeze Final Impressions

“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.

Otaku, Meet Thy God

Not a deity, not a god, but similar otherwise: The Machinations of Irabu Ichiro…?

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. So I asked SAD co-writer Digitalboy for a good idea, which he answered with this. 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.

Kuchu Buranko 6: It Applies to Us Bloggers Too

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?”

Releasing the Inner Prankster in All of Us in Kuchu Buranko 5: Temperance and The Fool

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.

Rebellion of the Body Against the Mind: Kuchu Buranko 4

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?

The Crisis We Bloggers Also Face: November, Empty Eggs, and Kuchu Buranko 3

After pulling off an all-nighter week for the sake of keeping my financial status up and running, I’ve begun to gobble down the backlog of shows that I watch this season. However, Kuchu Buranko/Trapeze still gets me to stop, think twice, and ultimately give in to the mindrape that will follow soon after. Irabu Ichiro is like a drug for the demented, and from a demented person’s point of view, I can say the dementia just passed from him to me and vice-versa. I’m not the only one who savors the show’s goodness, though.

If we could vomit blogs as much as Toriyama can vomit books, I wonder who among us have Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder?

Kuchu Buranko First Impressions: Irabu Ichiro, Tarot Psychologist Extraordinaire

snapshot20091025223120

It’s a masterpiece of the mind. No, really, it is.

Even with it slowly creeping into the array of shows, Kuchu Buranko, or most commonly known as Trapeze, caught everyone by surprise with its methods, characters, wit, and confusing yet effective way of telling the story. Okay, maybe that’s just me, but try finding people other than myself that have SERIOUS BUSINESS written in every particle of their body and I think you’ll get almost the same reaction. Since the story is told with the objective of seeing the psychologist’s methods on a better light, most of us had a hard time trying to grasp the situation. But even though I’m not into Psychology, I’m interested in it, and I’m quite baffled on how its mind games somehow hypnotized yours truly into watching it. Of course, what I learn from this show, I plan to use on others. Wink wink.
