I love surprises, and when an anime succeeds in giving me my dose of astonishment, I am loyal to it until the end. So was the case with, for recent examples, Mawaru Penguindrum, Another, and Tsuritama.

And now, so is Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita (Humanity has declined).



I'm the type who pick character and ...

There is a genuine beauty in destruction.

Spoiler for HOW IS DESTRUCTION BEAUTIFUL?: 

At a young age, we'd been introduced to how the world might have begun: Big Bang Theory, Genesis narrative, Chaos in Greek myth, and so on. We'd been agog about it, somehow debated about it, or just became insouciant about it. (Earth just appeared and existed for countless years, alright?? Why question everything???)

To what compares the heart?
This heart that is like a hawk
To what compares the heart?
Of grief that seems to circle the sky

Have you ever heard of Goro Miyazaki? Well, he's just the son of Hayao Miyazaki: that Miyazaki who ...

Spoiler for Meh: 

It was a hot afternoon when we met.

The sun was about forty-five degrees up from the ground, and it shone on me and my fourth grade best friend.

School was out for the rest of the day because of the PTA's Induction of Officers, and my pal and I stayed behind to relish the deserted volleyball court by ourselves. Just the two of us, we tied a long strip of garter around

Spoiler for Enter: 

Plunged me the downfall of rain─fruitful afterwards.

NOTE: This is one of my oldest poems. Re-reading it, I realized I tend to be so emo before. LOL

Spoiler for Hmmm: 

I have a task.
I have a responsibility.
I have a goal
That I have to complete in this life.

I had a big opportunity.
I had a second chance.
I had my last hope.
But it slipped and fell down
And was unreachable.

I had believed.

NOTE: Just babbling.

I'd had LSS (Last Song Syndrome) of innumerable songs in my life, but never...NEVER did I have an LSS lasting so long as when I hear Japanese songs. See the one below, for example:

This one is a very soulful cover of Hatsune Miku's Love and War. It EPICALLY beats her version, actually.

(Another one, below, has some sad gore ...

When we find out that an upcoming anime has the mystery tag to it, we often surmise the show will be about murder, the supernatural, or a mixture of both. Shows like Detective Academy Q, Detective Conan, Kuroshitsuji, Ghost Hunt, and Shinrei Tantei ...

"If I don't have to do it, I won't. If I do have to do it, make it quick."

When I think about the "obligations" that I dislike or hate, I very much agree with Houtarou's motto above. How many have studied math, science, ...

It's been a long time since I typed my thoughts for a freaking blog entry. I used to be enthusiastic, getting excited when comments pop up when I refresh my blog page. I was superficial, shallow.

I was immature.
