Angel Beats! – I’m not done yet

foomafoo — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 14:36:20 +0000

What actually got me into writing this entry was actually Yuri’s statement “Try to be flexible. Accept things as they are”. Accepting things as they are means flexibility? Hell no Yuri, you are actually trying to be hypocrite when you tried to say that to Otonashi. The fact that you guys are rebelling against [...]

Kiki’s Delivery Service (Challenges and Self- Trust)

Deneuve — Wed, 26 May 2010 16:29:03 +0000

After watching this anime, I felt a great sense of contentment. As with other slice of life anime or films (come to think of it, there will always be a slice of life in every film. Hah!), I always get the feeling that I was in the shoes of the characters whenever I watch. The [...]

Romeo x Juliet – “Star Crossed” (Crossed literally)

foomafoo — Fri, 21 May 2010 22:09:57 +0000

We all already know the ending. What made me watch this? I was curious HOW things would turn out, simple as that. But seriously, what made me watch this was the opening song! Who wouldn’t recognize that marvelous piece even if it was in Japanese lyrics? I was surprised to hear such music out of [...]

Angel Beats! – Track Zero

foomafoo — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 08:13:59 +0000

I really thought from the very start of Angel Beats! that Otonashi is such a boring character and that Hinata should have a greater exposure instead because he is much more likable (although, I’d say he also is a good supporting cast). Good thing there are Track Zero chapters to compensate for that. Track Zero is [...]

Winter 09/10 Wrap-up Post

foomafoo — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 20:16:46 +0000

Hi guys, and to everyone who are reading this post. I must admit that I only have limited time to spend in the animeblogosphere, since I have to tend to school duties (my thesis project), which is why, this post will be the one to wrap up for this winter season of 09/10. Spring is [...]

A Hanamaru Resolution?

foomafoo — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 05:59:51 +0000

Hanamaru is one of the anime(s) which caught my attention when I first saw the chart for Winter 09/10. And yes, it was for the first time that I chose an anime at my own will, without even a clue of what it was all about without regretting why I watched it. I actually dug the [...]

Railgun – A Certain Abrupt Ending

foomafoo — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 12:42:06 +0000

I am late, I know that. So– I heard many people were complaining on how half-ass the ending was for such an anime, even though it was just a side story. But then again, if I have something to say about railgun, for me, it’s definitely much better than index. Index has so much to tell, and [...]

Inuyasha Kanketsu-hen – Afterthoughts and Ramblings

foomafoo — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 13:10:23 +0000

I’ve always hoped for a second season of InuYasha.I planned it already a long long time ago, and even wrote an entry for it that I’ll be reading the manga, but I wasn’t really able to. which is why I was so glad when I heard the news of course, that they decided to animate [...]

Nodame Cantabile – Closing Curtain?

foomafoo — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 00:28:41 +0000

I’m not watching Nodame Cantabile: Finale anymore! Well yes, it’s because I’ve finished the manga already. Spoiler Alert! (For those who are still watching Finale and haven’t read the manga) Honestly, I’m not contented with what happened. Things shouldn’t have been like this… Of course I’m not the author. No use whining now. It’s just that I [...]

Bringing Back Love for Battle Shounen

foomafoo — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 12:10:09 +0000

I am regressing once again… I saw a glimpse of the series from a local television channel, and there, I decided to rewatch the anime. Hunter x Hunter is probably the most thrilling battle shounen I’ve ever watched, especially the York Shin Arc. I really like the dark atmosphere of the series, and the seemingly dark [...]
