    Your Lie in April episode 10 Didn't get to watch a lot today since I was busy with Hitman 2.

    Yeah, the ending will probably never have the same gut punch as Monogatari SS . I hate spoilers too; they can make or break an experience, which is why I'm usually careful when sharing even light spoilers. But that's the Internet for ya. You look up a meme and you get spoiled about Your Lie in...

    Gankutsuou episode 7-10 Your Lie in April episode 7-9 Your Lie is starting to worn out for me, the more I see its shounen elements, the more it spills its empty platitudes. It's still well-crafted for sure, but I'll probably do the same as I did to Monogatari SS - give it a score and move on...

    I've been meaning to get to this. I've seen the two movies, but didn't manage to get into the series. The TV series is on my watchlist after I've finished Gankusuou and Your Lie in April. Hope we'll both enjoy this. I've heard a lot of praise too. This is possibly the last of the highly...

    looks up its MAL listing Oh yes, I see. That is a surprise. It's certainly a very tranquil kind of shounen. But looking back at its simplistic themes suitable for children, it makes more sense now. A lot of its platitudes feel like the kind of stuff shounen characters would spill out.

    The General Conversation Area

    That's why I don't bother with semantics. Usually, how I deal with watching dubs or subs is whether if the original production was produced in Japanese audio and if it's intended for a Japanese audience. If so, then I would watch it with the Japanese audio. Inspector Gadget, AFAIK (correct me if...

    Gankutsuou episode 4-6 Your Lie in April episode 4-6 Things are starting to heat up. The antagonists for Your Lie have finally showed up. Can't say it's unexpected since these kinds of shows always need some kind of shounen-esque rival to progress the plot.

    Gankutsuou episode 2 and 3 Your Lie in April episode 2 and 3 So far so good, though I might have hyped up Gankutsuou too much. Your Lie plays out exactly how I expected it, with Kaori being annoyingly optimistic.

    Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix ★ ★ ★ ★ So, funny story: I never actually watched this movie before, contrary to what I believed. I was actually thinking of "Goblet of Fire" when I wrote my last review, talking about the film that made me drop the franchise. But anyways, moving on...

    Gankutsuou episode 1 Your Lie in April episode 1 And thus begin another round of "Catching Up with the Classics!" Gankutsuou literally blew my mind with the first episode, and I only heard great things about it being an underrated masterpiece, so there's definitely a lot of hype there. I'm...

    What Games Are You Playing?

    Got into Fallout: Shelter again recently... after I found out some cheats that bypass its annoying microtransactions. Take that, Bethesda. Got myself infinite Nuka Cola and lunchboxes.

    Yeah, it's definitely no Hellsing Ultimate, I can tell you. It's very contemplative, with characters often soul-searching when they're not fending for their lives. But they do fend for their lives, so it's not as if it's an entire series full of pretentious self-reflection either, and there's...

    Monogatari SS episode 25 and 26 (COMPLETED) Blood+ episode 50 (COMPLETED) You already know how I feel about the epic finale that was Blood+. 😊 As for Monogatari... it was okay. I like the twist at the end, but how Nadeko was handled was a lot less dramatic and satisfying than I wanted...

    A girl who fights monsters. Basically Japanese Buffy, but with a katana instead of stakes. But under the careful guidance of Production I.G, the simple premise and seemingly overused vampire setting of Blood+ is turned into something more thoughtful and satisfying. Originally a 2000 movie...

    Season 2 A teenager who fights monsters. So for the past month or so, I've been catching up with three '90s TV series, namely The Simpsons, The X-Files, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Why now? Why so? Don't know. Just in the mood for catching up. And just now, I've finished the final episode...
