Applying Two Blogger Rule and Bracketing to GA: Geijutsuka Art Design Class

Ayako didn't release GA:GADC subs on a weekly basis but praise be to them for having completed the whole series; I'm still in agony over the yet-to-released sub for the final episode of Mouryou no Hako.

I have the batch for Geijutsuka downloaded and tucked away but I have not managed to get beyond the first episode (which I watched just after its initial release). My problem is two-fold; I haven't found a second blogger to fulfill the requirements of my Two Blogger Rule for ordering All Systems Go on watching a new (to me) series. Some of the strongest advocates of GA:GADC got head but no tail.

from the ancient times STVY

Sakura Wars TV Series 1 (Reviewed 2003-02-10, Updated 2003-11-23)

Based on the console game, the TV series draws on the very first version (have lost count of the number of subsequent versions). This is set in an alternative 1920s setting where the Taisho era didn't all go horribly wrong and Imperial Japan is quite nice and not militaristic or fascist at all. Oh, there was this Great Demonic War just five years ago too and it's Steampunk.

Extracting the goodness of the projection being x handler

What a turnaround it's been for Asura Cryin' - I checked out the first two eps, on Xellos-_^'s suggestion, for Tanaka Rie goodness and was quite ambivalent about it; miko x giant mecha x world destruction mix (or what IKnight called a meze) has already been done by Kannazuki no Miko, ya know? And the latter had nonsense doramaz yuri to boot.

Minori sees like Yuuko Ishihara

Thus spake Yuuko Ishihara:

There is no such thing as coincidence, only hitsuzen.

Thus spake Lupus:

Dear Seleria, Because I’m such a BADASS LIGHT NOVEL READER, I must reveal the true reason why Taiga was "out on the street just in time for Minorin to see." It wasn’t entirely co-incidence. After being told by Taiga that Ryuuji was going to confess to her, Minorin wanted a final confirmation that Taiga didn't like Ryuuji, so she went to Taiga's place. Lo and behold, she sees Taiga going emo and screaming "RYUUUUUJIIIIII WRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY"

Another reason why good comments are as good as gold, blogs are all the more richer for them.

The dialogue in Index is Dumb and must be Prohibited

I was going to title the post 'Touma is Dumb and must be Destroyed' but I've come to the belated realization that I've been blaming Kamijyo Touma too much for my unhappiness with the Index anime. Too much crap comes out of his mouth but, hey, that's the sad duty being the main chara. Even so I enjoyed hearing him being killed twice in the Index-tan DVD special. Go Kaori and Stiyl!
