Anime, Otakism and the Rantings of Japanese Popular Culture
I’ve finally completed all 338 chapters of this high school baseball series, and it was certainly worth my time, even if it meant pushing back my assignments for a couple of days.
As usual, Adachi Mitsuru doesn’t disappoint with his usual style that remains the same from Miyuki. Chapters that begin with random sceneries, cold/lame humor that for some reason or another I find funny, and very simple clean art.
Here’s a sum up of the story with all the nitty gritty filtered out.
You might ask why? Here’s why.
I wish I had a cellphone that talks to wake me up each morning
Seriously, that’s one thing that I can never do properly.
For example, look at this picture. How old do you think she is?
I guessed 20-21.
Something I will never experience, which is why I enjoy watching it. Not in 2D form, but in 3D form. For me, anything about high school in anime is good. Sports, slice-of-life, comedy and the list goes on. Anything, except romance. Which is why I don’t watch stuff like Clannad and many others of the similar genre. Yes, I am a fool who misses out on how great Key’s work is, and it doesn’t bother me. Not even the slightest bit.
Sorry, but I’m not interested
After watching the first 2 episodes of Honey and Clover’s dorama, I must say I quite hooked to it. I don’t know how much the dorama differs from the anime or live action movie, since I have not watched either of them. Hence, I am unable to comment on how awesome/sucky the dorama is compared to the other 2. However, I do know a beauty, be it 2D or 3D, when I see one.
Narumi Riko as Hanamoto Hagumi
No one blogs about Detective Conan. Or at least no one whom I know. Everyone probably thinks that Detective Conan is just another typical shonen anime/manga series which is not worth paying any attention to. But not me. I think it’s awesome.
Anyway first piece of news about Detective Conan is the 12th Movie. For the benefit of those who don’t know, there’s a Detective Conan movie release annually in April, sometime during the Golden Week period. That’s quite a long way Detective Conan has gone, isn’t it?
The title of this 12th theatrical feature is 「戦慄の楽譜」, with 楽譜 read as フルスコア. The English translation would be “Full Score of Fear”. The release date of the movie can be seen after the break.
