While we’re on the subject of Haruhi, I can’t wait to see the movie with English subtitles when it becomes available! From the poster though I have a couple of observation questions, or questionable observations. Wait, that first one was phrased better.
As I was walking through Borders in Wheelock Place last night taking a break from scanning (topic for a future post no doubt) and checking my tweets on my iTelephone (that just sounds wrong for some reason) @Jlist made a remark about Haruhi.
Get it? Hey, I thought it was funny.
<(^_^<) (>^_^)>
Hard hitting reporting I can assure you ^_^.
Hey, I wasn’t able to go to the Anime Festival Asia 2009 convention in Singapore that I so gleefully reported on and see the K-On! seiyuus because I was still taking exams, cut me some slack! Or perhaps in this case some stockings. Wait, that didn’t sound right. Never mind.
"Woooooo… you will be the lead singer! Wooooo…"
So after all this preparation spanned over the course of five K-On episodes the light music club feel as though they’re ready to perform at the school festival thingy. With this series I’m now up to where I was when my anime blog was wiped!
As an addendum to my K-On! 05 episode review post thingy, I felt it necessary to divulge that while I very much Akiyama Mio, I really like her house. Can I have Mio’s house?
Hey, now I have something to show Mio!
It’s ironic that I often blog about nonsense and fun stuff when I’m madly studying; perhaps its a coping mechanism or something of that nature. Whatever it is, it works!
News stories are spreading like some sort of fire (a wild one I presume) that initial sales of the Bakemonogatari DVDs and BluRay discs have not only outsold the disastrous and missed opportunity that was the second season of Haruhi, but even K-On! In real terms outselling Haruhi didn’t surprise me, but beating the K-On with its huge impact on popular culture (sales of musical instruments, shimapan bowls and whatnot) was quite an achievement.
"Walk like an Egyptian!"
Those who have watched anime for long enough know that it’s almost a rite of passage for most shows to feature one fanservice filled beach episode where the tenuous plot is designed to show off their characters in swimsuits. Most leave such episodes for later, but we got K-On’s in episode 04. Fortunately in this case it wasn’t as blatant (relatively speaking), and as a bonus there was a real plot! I know, I was shocked too!
I'm Ruben Schade, welcome to my labour of love mix of tech, anime, thoughts and nonsense from Singapore and Australia. Thanks for stopping by.
I'm also on Twitter, Flickr, Google Reader and lots more places.
