Presenting: 1st Monthly WTF happened to my Manga? Feature

Matt | February 7, 2010 | 11:28 pm

After a late night talk with Neko, I decided that you know, I live in the boonies, and interenets are slow in the boonies ergo internet video sucks in the boonies. Rather than post a preview of next season (BTW, I’m on summer ‘09 NOW), I’ll do the most difficult thing to do: Figure out which is better, the manga or the anime.

Season Halftime: Nyan Koi!

Made a pot of tea about one hour and a half ago, and I haven’t drunk one sip of it while watching episodes 3-6 of Nyan Koi! just now. So I shall try and find a reason why I forgot to drink my tea.

First series to be caught up to is Tegami Bachi. Unlike the frantic marathoning I could have hinted to in my post on batch watching/blogging from a couple of days ago, I took it relatively slowly, two episodes a day.
Either way, let’s see how well the working bees have fared so far.

The Compromise of Batch Watching/Blogging

iqdb is not functional, so I can't locate the source of this image. At least danbooru doesn't seem to have this picture.

Michael from Low on Hit Points hit on a very interesting subject that I feel very strongly about: weekly watching. It’s funny, because I often talked about it before and also tried explaining a certain Rule 7, which might ring a bell with some of the long-time readers here.

Anyway, I feel everything Michael in almost the same way. But perhaps I should add a little of my background as well (which is why I didn’t want to spam his comment box too much with my personal ramblings.)

Fall ‘09 Belated First Impressions Part 3 (end)

Reminds me, I still need to catch up to Yakitate!! Japan. ...wait, I already did long time ago. Crikey.
TSUKAI FURUSARETA 'AISHITERU MO'

Reminds me, I still need to catch up to Yakitate!! Japan. …wait, I already did long time ago. Crikey.

As predicted, I had a wonderful week-end… outside of my room, mainly. And I quite like it. :P

So yeah, delays and stuff, and yet another week breaks in this fall season… either way, here is -finally- the last batch, with Sora no Otoshimono, Letter Bee, The Sacred Blacksmith, Railgun, Winter Sonata and Yumeiro Patissiere. Late comer: Kaidan Restaurant swiftly joined the fun, too.

Enjoy!

Fall ‘09 Belated First Impressions Part 2

nekosasu | November 5, 2009 | 9:00 pm
PLEASE DON'T SAY YOU ARE LAZY DATTE HONTOU WA CRAZY
PLEASE DON'T SAY YOU ARE LAZY DATTE HONTOU WA CRAZY

Reminds me, I still need to catch up to K-On! Later, later.

Following last week’s sudden revelation, I kind of got… busy, if you know what I mean. Never thought RL could be this entertaining. :P Meaning, my impressions got delayed quite a fair bit, and five weeks into the season, others might already expect previews on the winter season… Just bear with me. ^^;

All I can hope that like me, you haven’t gotten around to check out the Fall season yet, so you could relate to these impressions. Though, even if you ARE following any of these series, let it not hinder you to read it and tell me if it’s close to what you felt when you first watched it, and if it gets better or worse. Then again, for some series… it was quite a swift and clear verdict.
