neko's thinkbox

Guess the location!

Wrong guess. It’s not Hisui’s birthday indeed, because, as you might remember from last years’ posts, hers is tomorrow the 12th. Actually, today is my gf’s birthday (and the proximity of the dates was NOT why I chose her). Consider this my ronery spamfest, without the embarrassing worshipping.

Well, I broke the ice already. Neko posted! How awkward. So… In a nutshell, Merry Christmas! Happy New Year! And stuff. …erm, right. I also owe you guys an apology, and perhaps a small explanation for my sudden but ever so recurrent AWOL.

Edit: Well, I thought I had scheduled this post for the 11th, but yeah it’s been a long time, WP, and it posted today, gg. Well, whatever. It’s the 11th! :V

YAMI WO KIRISAKU OH DESIRE

Reminds me, I still need to catch up to Umineko. Later, later.

After finally clearing all minor and some major hindrances (I sadly couldn’t manage to clear my anime backlog yet though), here’s finally my go at this Fall ‘09 season, 3-4 weeks in already (hence “belated”).

Such a sweet composition, really. But sadly, I can’t say the same about this anime.

However equivocal the title’s claim might sound to you, I think it makes most sense in the case of Basquash. Not so much for its actual tragic content, but for the painful, epic tragedy my viewing experience of this whole anime has become.
 
Here’s a couple of thoughts I want to share with you.

So! Kicking off on our new domain, here’s some Aoi Hana to talk and muse about!
