I have to admit that I find Angelic Days weirdly endearing: it's no replacement for the core of the mythos, but it's a sweet cheerful place to visit once in a while. On the other hand, I wind up yawning when people seem to get tunnel vision about the level of despair in the series; I've ...

Recently finished watching Death Note and Blood + . The latter got a bit draggy toward the end of the second season and the beginning of the third, but the fourth season wrapped everything up very well, with the promise of possible things to come, maybe a "thirty years later" sequel, but w...

That and comparing Twilight with NGE is like comparing a laundry list to a Shakespeare sonnet. I'm reading Twilight as of now (to put some verbs in my sentences when I talk about how bad the books are), and I can't help but think that Stephanie Meyers took an otherwise good idea for ...

you just get Angelic Days, and no one wants that. The problem with 2.0 in a nutshell. Hehe. The Rei/Asuka elevator scene is eerily similar to an exchange that they have in Angelic Days, come to think of it. Rebuild out-shojos the shojo spinoffs. And this is a bad thing because...? I just finished A...

Got my copy today, as I was going to an anime shop in Cambridge to see what they had for (don't laugh) Hello Kitty tchotchkes for a gift bag I'm putting together for my Hello Kitty-obsessed Mom's birthday later this month. This was my reward to myself for getting more than halfwa...

I find it an irritant, since it seems to cause some people who aren't familiar with anime as a medium to think that all anime is pr0ny by nature, particularly if somehow, their initial exposure to anime was by way of brushes with H-anime. I can say this without impunity because, well, I was that...

I downloaded a bunch of tracks and put together a playlist which I've had running on WinAmp as I type my NaNo novel (though since this fic is sort of an "extended universe"-type story, I've added in a few other tracks from other series as well). It's definitely helping ...

Aww -.- I might do the same... But I wanna see Rebuild 1.0 so badly. :: Cries:: It's gonna be my reward for getting halfway through my NaNo novel... Decisions, decisions... ... You could try renting it? The problem is, the rental places around here are really bad about anime: one place even eli...

Lame. I'm definitely holding out for 1.11 then.

Decisions, decisions...

Working on my NaNoWriMo novel, and I decided to devote it to Part Three of my fanfic Neon Enoch Evangelion. I've got 20,000 words banged out already and I'm about to add a few hundred more...

Coolness.... Did you get this in a store, or as a pre-order on Amazon or somesuch? I'm getting extremely itchy waiting for Nov. 17 and I've been wondering (read "hoping") if some places are doing "soft" releases, ie. putting it on the shelf before the official rel...

MatrixRefugee: Especially Shinji, none of that "I've gonna insane from isolation after rejecting Instrumentality" crap. (I do not hide my disdain for the finale of EoE. As far as I'm concerned, that's Bad End.) EoTV was a good end because Instrumentality was rejected a...

/sign I think everyone deserves a happy ending this time around.

I am not to sure because its been a while since I looked because I'm in melbourne atm but a few of the stores in Sydney have loads of vol 3,4,6 and 9 for some reason. the rest are near imposable to get. Whilst down here in melbourne its 1,2,5 and 8 Heh, maybe you should buy up some copies and r...

I've heard of parrots getting attached to their human owners/companions to the point that they behave as if the human were their mate. Budgies regurgitate seed and feed it to their mate as part of their "hey, let's hook up/stay together" rituals, and I had a bird that used to try t...

It's never stated in 24' that Rei is an angel. She just generates an AT field. The Evas do that. I don't think this alone can push Rei up to Angel status. Doesn't Kaworu say something to Shinji about the AT Field being "the light of the soul" and that all living things hav...

This. Makes me happy, since that means one bit in Neon Enoch Evangelion did not get royally Jossed as I feared it might.

OT but the Fuyutsuki-phile couldn't resist weighing in: First casting choice (for a Live Action version) would be Harrison Ford (since he's pretty much the Cool Old Guy of Hollywood), but that might come with higher price tag... So my second choice as Fuyu-sensei would be Bil...

Robin Williams could actually do a good job voicing Gendo (I'd like to hear the outtakes from *that*; he'd make dubbing EoE bearable): he's done some dramatic stuff and was surprisingly very good. Case in point, he played a silken-voiced serial killer opposite Al Pacino in "...
