Opinion: Angel Beats and K-ON!!, the Day and Night Differences of the Bands

by Leave a Comment
It's the Battle of the Bands!

It has been nearly two months since Angel Beats have ended and after listening to the whole Angel Beats OST, I was impressed by how surprisingly well ANANT-GARDE EYES and Jun Maeda songs sounded. I mentioned this since there was a discussion about the composition of the soundtrack a while back on Twitter between me, zzeroparticle and Aorii that happened last week over how long it took to compose the music for Angel Beats, which was rumored to be 3 days. Because of the discussion, I brought up the fictional school band, Girls Dead Monster since it could explain why the songs sounded so lackluster because of the composition and the vocals. The responses I got is that the songs would sound better in the Anime opposed to just listening it as a lone track and that Jun Maeda isn’t exactly cut out to make pop songs that involves guitars.

After watching the last performance of HO-KAGO TEA TIME at the School Festival in Episode 20, it have gave me some thoughts about Angel Beats’s Girls Dead Monster and if they really can compare to K-ON’s HO-KAGO TEA TIME in regards to vocals, composition and its message, which will be discussed in this opinion piece.

Kanon – Mai’s Arc and Fighting her Demons

by 3 Comments
You might be wondering, what exactly is she doing?

Continuing with the analyzing of the arcs I played in Kanon, the next girl’s arc I am going to focus on is Mai Kawasumi. She is viewed by everyone as an anti-social, quiet girl who seems to have this urge to go to the school at night with a long, sharp sword. There could be a reason why she is like this because of the events that happened in her childhood she couldn’t get over.

Seitokai Yakuindomo – Episodes 5-6 Overall Thoughts

by 1 Comment
This is something that Takatoshi does not have in mind...

I have to say, Seitokai Yakuindomo is probably the mildly enjoyable series in the 2010 summer season since it has funny jokes with Episode 5 more so than Episode 6. Yet, our completely sane Takatoshi keeps getting these galage magazines because everyone thinks that all men are interested in those kind of things. It doesn’t surprise me either because like Takatoshi, I am not so interested in ecchi or rather the erotic works out there since it’s not worth polluting your mind with junk (like porn and no offense to people who like these kinds of content).

Kanon – Shiori’s Arc – The Drama of the Two Sisters

by Leave a Comment
It kind of irked me that Kaori didn't get along with her younger sister, Shiori. There is a reason...

Back in 2009, I wrote an informal post about Shiori’s Arc after I had finished it. I was disappointed that I haven’t gone deep enough in analyzing and adding my thoughts about her arc, so I decided to go through and redo the review as I attended. No, I’m not going to cover what was different in the Anime adaptation, but analyze the story and give my own thoughts along with it.

Anime Blog Reading and Improving Anime Blogs

by 2 Comments

Anime Blogging may have a fun aspect given that you are sharing your thoughts to the world, but in reality it takes a lot of time and dedication. The blogosphere is so vast that you might find thousands of Anime Blogs out there to read. However, it’s the blogs that stands out the most get the most attention.

You may ask, why are you writing an editorial about reading other people’s Anime blogs in the blogosphere? You asked a good question. I’m writing about it because I read a blog post on it. Additionally, I had an idea that reading other people’s blogs gives a blogger an idea on how to improve their own blogs. After all, everyone wants to be successful Anime bloggers and get as many readers out there as possible.

Amagami SS – Episode 10 (Sae’s Arc Part 2) – Junchi Becomes a Player

by Leave a Comment
He is doing good so far... or is he?

Do you sense that Junchi is being more perverted than the previous arcs? The other episodes simply cannot compare to the perverseness of this episode. What perverted things Junchi does to Sae? You will see for yourself.

Opinion: K-ON, It’s more about Good Friendships than Girls doing Cute Things.

by 1 Comment

Friendship is one of the most desirable aspects of life since it allows us to interact with people that share the same interests and have a fun time. Without friendship, people would not be enjoying life and be setting in a corner with a feeling of boredom. In addition, having many friends can increase the chances of getting a job depending on how good your friends are.

K-ON is probably one of those shows that most people wouldn’t know about the friendship theme because of its reputation of being a girls doing cute things kind of show. If you look deeper in the activities and the songs they do, you realize that they are enjoying themselves because of their strong relationship between them. That feeling of friendship is what brought some of the nostalgia explained more in the last editorial when I looked back in my high school years.

Kaichou wa Maid-sama – Episode 20 – Yukimura and his Imouto

by Leave a Comment
Every young girl's dream is described in this picture!

Given that Yukimura lost the Footman Competition because of his lack of manliness, now his younger sister is now doubting his manliness with her preference for Usui as her Prince. This sounds so wrong in many levels. This date reminded me of Mei going out on a date with Tomoya to piss off her older brother. The only difference is that Usui didn’t go overboard by having Ruri call him “onii-chan.” If they did, Misaki would be angry at him for life for being a lolicon and his perversion.
