Air: From the creators of The Melancholy of
Haruhi Suzumiya!

So I got this PR thingy from ADV about a new promo on their Air site where you can download the first DVD (for not free). Sort of boring, and I didn’t really want to link to it, but when I went ahead to the “official site” I see this:While it’s true that Kyoani worked [...]

Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei Ep. 3

post from Hige Vs. Otaku on 01 August 2007 08:33:00 PM. © Hige Vs. Otaku

I think Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei might actually be impossible to blog.

On one hand, I want to ramble incoherently about the tiny, often hilarious, quirks I pick up on in each episode. On the other, I want to try and normalise everything just so I can put together a lucid process of thought (which is ridiculous considering the anime itself seemingly has no lucid process of though).

Regardless of the method chosen, SZS demands three or four watches per episode before anything can be said at all. The amount of textual distractions means you're either following the dialogue or reading the background 'meta-text', and it's impossible to do both at once. Yet, out of sheer enjoyment, I do do both; rewatching however many times it takes to appreciate all the humour is time well-spent. But then having to write about everything in a blog after all that commitment? It's pretty freaking demanding considering I do this site for the sake of recreation and fun.

Still, being overwhelmed and not writing about it at all would be a disservice to one of the most entertaining shows this season.

So . . .

"Death NEET" BLAHAHAHAHAHA.

"Gourmet? Don't you mean fat ass?" AHHAHAHAHA

A blonde-haired, blue-eyed gaijin that rants about the injustices of Japanese society towards foreigners but has a second personality that abides by every single little-Japanese-school-girl stereotype ever? HAHAHAHAHA

A bizarre homage to the Dragonball Z Gotenks fusion dance? MAN I CAN'T BELIEVE I GOT THAT REFERENCE AHAHAHAHA SO MUCH WASTED YOUTH

A disenfranchised student that sold his student roster number in order to escape the hierarchical, class preoccupations of modern Japanese society? *holds sides while hyperventilating*

Completely random scene where the school councillor does a hand-stand as her skirt gradually reveals panties, boobs a-wiggling all the while? *brain synapses disconnect, death*

Why does do I always feel the need to neck a bottle of Ritalin and sit in a dark room to reacclimatise to the world after every episode of this anime. Quite apart from having no idea how to write about it, it can't be good for my mental health. Pretty bloody enjoyable, though.

Oh, and did anyone notice how each student has their own camera angle/perspective? I thought that was pretty cool.

(Help me)

(Manga) Industry Bloggin: An In-Depth (Shallow)
Look!

post from BasuGasuBakuhatsu Anime Blog on 01 August 2007 03:03:41 PM. © BasuGasuBakuhatsu Anime Blog

I’ve noticed that there’s not really very many industry blogs in the anime/manga industry. I knew of a few select blogs, mostly from small publishers, but virtually none from anime companies…Today I’ll be checking out a few industry blogs and seeing how they can create a relationship between the customer and the publisher.
