Four Years of Animé Blogging and Beyond
Art by Taneko
It’s quite difficult to fathom that I’ve been blogging (in some shape or form) for four years today (25/04/2013). Even though I cringe every time I look back at my old posts and the desire of wanting to wipe these posts off the face of the internet, I choose not to; because they are the shitty and delusional and emoticon-ridden posts that bought me to where and who I am today, I hope. If you want to take a look at them I’ve moved them all over to my archiving blog here.

Hayate no Gotoku! Cuties 02
What I thought I was watching was Hayate no Gotoku! Cuties. That is, until this week’s episode that I realised what I was actually watching was The Best of Hayate no Gotoku’s Heroine-centered Manga Chapters Animated in Two-Dimensional Glory. This week focuses on the rich-but-not-rich-bitch ojou-sama Nagi Sanzenin, and the team did a good job at it for the second week running, adapting chapters 197 and 174 for the first half of the episode, and chapter 339 for the second.
REDUX: Hayate no Gotoku! Can’t Take My Eyes Off You Review
It goes without saying; I have a huge hard-on for Hayate. Not Hayate himself, but the anime and manga series. I fell in love with the series after reading the first volume of the manga many years ago, and to this day Season 1 is still my favourite anime of all time. The pretty animation, the funny gags, Norio Fucking Wakamoto… Based SynergySP. Season 2 was, well, ‘good’. Not as ‘good’ as Season 1 in my opinion but stayed faithful the manga, which is great but in such a way that they copied the it panel to panel, and use the exact same dialogue. Godammit, JC Staff. I was then happy to see Hayate come onto the big screen… for a disappointing 60 minutes. The movie felt lackluster, a little too short for a theatrical feature and had no signs of Wakamoto anywhere. Why Manglobe, why.
Alas we arrive at season three. Earlier this year Hata took a well lengthy hiatus from Hayate’s serialization in order to work on the new season, which turned out to be six weeks worth of storyboarding material. Did his work all pay off in the end? That, my friend, is what I’ll be reviewing today.

REDUX: .hack//The Movie//Review
I’ve been a .hack fan ever since I picked up the first volume of The Legend of the Twilight in my high school library many years ago, and have delved ever deeper into this convoluted franchise with dozens of media formats ever since. This maybe the reason .hack isn’t getting the amount of attention it deserves; people are confused where to start or that they don’t have the time, money, or resources to play the original .hack games that started it all (have you seen the prices for these games now?). To be fair, a quick gateway into the .hackiverse in my opinion would be to read the summaries on .hack//Wiki on all the original game plots as well as the general timeline of events.

Hayate no Gotoku! Cuties 01
I decided to do episodic posts just like old times. Surprise!
For those who don’t know, Hayate holds a dear place in my heart as my favourite anime of all time. I fell in love with the series when I picked up the first volume of the manga and fell even more in love when I watched the anime’s first season.
Spring Anime 2013 First Impressions
To think we’re already a quarter way in to 2013. Even though the weather still reminds me of Winter, it’s actually several days into April. And everyone knows that when it comes to April; it’s Spring. And everyone knows that when it comes to a new season, a new flock of anime hits the Japanese broadcasting airwaves.
Anyhow this obligatory post will have me revealing my shitty tastes by giving my first biased impressions on each of them just by staring at a bunch of new anime shows on a chart made by @cowboybibimbop. Let the fun begin.
