neko's thinkbox

Good Haruka, you look kind of… Kind of…

So I just watched the first raw of the Minami-ke sequel alternative version (because subbers seem to show few interest in it… gah, ask me and I’ll tl it already *pokes AnY* D:). And for some reason, I can’t really conceal my disappointment about it. Not that it sucked, far from it, but it did not fully live up to my expectations.

Like this? Minami-cut? No… read on plox.

Earlier in some IRC channel came up the discussion about how Formula (a fansub group) decided to cut the Opening and Ending on their Shugo Chara releases. I thought that might trigger an interesting discussion if it hasn’t been discussed yet.
Note that I haven’t watched Shugo Chara yet so I will not even talk about it – it is just the example – nor am I criticizing Formula because of their choice; I am just trying to compare the pros and cons of this matter.

Actually, I wanted to write something about a different topic, but this topic became predominant so I guess this will come first. Like in other places, I will now split the many topics in different entries to earn more attention- and this time, I hope it WILL trigger some discussion as well.

Horo made me do it!

I know I shouldn’t be doing this… I have an exam in 12 hours from now and I haven’t even started studying yet T_T
Yet still I watched Spice and Wolf because everyone was talking about it and Horo seems to be quite a fine… wolf. Is it can be tiem to change the “a cat is fine too” meme to “a wolf is fine too”.

A cute maid did it for me :3

With the recent problems affecting the Dreamhost servers, neko’s thinkbox has been moved to a dedicated server. And with this, as you might already have noticed, I am now running ads to keep AnimeBlogger alive. (gagaga it wasn’t just J-List, but also Adsense… removed some text that went against the TOS ^^;;;)
On a first side note, J-List roxxorz my mailboxxorz: I have been getting my Megami Magazine from them for almost four years. They offer pretty interesting reserve subscriptions, one mail and they cancel the subscription (didn’t have to do it yet XD). There have never been any major problems at all (if ever, then because of me, cuz my dad’s CC expired…). Their customer service is fast, reliable and friendly.
In short, I recommend J-List, because they rock. :D
On a second side note, Dreamhost keeps getting worse ratings from year to year. I have rarely heard any good reviews about them, and usually people blame the many downtimes of the servers and the awful support DH is offering. Let’s just hope the problems that are affecting the servers AB.net is hosted will be resolved soon.

Apart from this, I watched Spice and Wolf, and am writing an entry about it. I think I will keep it rather short though, because I have an exam in 16 hours from now, and I still need to catch my 6 hours of sleep… and need to start studying in the first place!!!!!!! argh
