As I thought, this episode brought absolutely no change to the story and THUS! It’s a boring epilogue – I’ve mainly said it all in my last post, read it you scurvy dogs.

I kinda hated how this episode tried to be all serious and tear-jerking, because, well, it tried to build some kind of suspense within one episode (which incidentally is the last but it probably never occurred to them – which is fine to an extent if you do it right though), but how can you do that if it already feels like an e-pi-logue!! How much must I emphasize it! Seriously, this felt a little rushed.
Especially the über hazukashii serifus that were uttered throughout this entire episode, made me want to scream KINSHI! all along. (Ami almost got it, but she’s waaaay too soft on the KINSHI part.) It felt as if they wanted to pack a ton and a half of morals before kicking the bucket, even though Yuri-chan-sensei rarely approves of it. And it was so incredibly filled with clichés once again, geez. Graduation? Come on, that’s older than animeblogs.

Well, one moral still sticks out: Too much is seldom good. Reflect upon it.

But (and it’s of course the big but that changes everything) it did make me smile (in a genuine kind of way) and laugh a little too, and I usually don’t do that when I’m that negative, so I suppose it was not all that bad either. Well, apart from the meek ending of the story itself. …blah. Minorin FTW and all that, you know. As I said, read here.

Anyway, props to Toradora, great series with “a sour aftertaste”, as a commenter said. I can only agree. This under 200 words? Crud, I’m such a tweetliar.

Oh, and I am sure you can easily recognize which series > this screen < will remind you of. Hint: mouth. Shit, I gave it away. Haha.

Anyway, I will be off to Barcelona in an hour. Got some AC/DC Concert to attend. Rejoice! One week without my stupid comments, how’s that feel? No, wait, sometimes I’m here and I don’t post for three weeks. Argh, dunno. Know what? If I don’t drown in Top Gear/Disagea/Booze pastimes, I’ll come back with a Toaru review. Though I’m not sure I’ll be able to abridge boredom with more boredom. Meh. Cya!

( ¯3¯)

I decided I don’t like this series anymore.

…or do I?

As seen on Mellowspace. New design, looks pretty unconventional but still somewhat pretty. However, that link that redirects to their definition of Animeblogosphere… redirects to a 404 page. My subconscience would disregard that fact by thinking that mellow_bunny was too lazy to create the definition page; but my active, curmudgeon and vituperative alter ego, natsuneko, vehemently claims

NO! There is no such thing as a bloated community filled with circle jerks praising themselves for being a pack of unsociable, mindless online oh-tah-koohs.

But I’ll write this stupid statement off as him not being able to connect with such a violently ubiquitous and unshaken concept! Also, what the failed attempt to your own online quidnunc persona, natsuneko. You suck at flaming in the first place! :( Here’s a dime, get yourself some friends for a day. (I’ll get you someday, fool. -natsuneko)

Err, anyway. Back to my own business here: as a regular of neko’s thinkbox, you would think: why waste everyone’s time on your blog with a hypocritical preview you will never follow anyway?
Cor! That’s true. That’s perhaps why I never did one in the first place. But hey, since I’ve been popping many cherries this month, why not get started with a professional preview here and now!

Shows I will be following during the next season: To Be Announced.

Please allow nekosasu three months to actually check other blogs (no he doesn’t read them) look up which series will even be airing this season. In the meantime, have some coffee. Or some juice. Whatever. -natsuneko

I promised you I’d do it.

There was no cake, it turned out it was a lie. But cookies are fine too.

*welcomes self to a yet higher level of otakudom*

I don’t have to spell it out do I?

Well, yeah, I still love her. And this year I thought I should become a real, tough roner by placing some cake in front of the screen with a Hisui picture or something.

Sadly, it’s only 12:50 AM and cake is not there yet. So I will faithfully update this post (HAHAHA, I’ll do ANOTHER POST!) later on to share this unforgettable moment in the life of an otaku with you guys.

Anyway, otanjoubi omedetou Hisui-chan ;o;

Wait, wasn’t there Kohaku as well…

What am I going on about?

And before you go “dunno, lol”…

Well, as previously announced on twitter, I’m posting a whole blog entry in a vain attempt explaining how awesome (or not) this day was.
