Nine months after

I am now almost at the end of my freshman year. It has been an exciting and fun-filled time. Not as much booze as I would wanted, but I am the only one to blame for that. Last week I got a prize at a Japanese speaking competition. Anime, thank you once more. You've brighten/darken up my day so many times now.

Enough of university rant. To the main topic, anime, games and the like. So of all the anime I saw last seasons, the ones I finished were Shana S, Guilty Crown, Nisemonogatari and Another. I think I will try and watch Zero no Tsukaima, for the sake of finishing it.

Shana S is satisfactory. A much awaited ending after all these years of tension building. The ending, although kind of anti-climatic, is rather conclusive and to my liking. I shan't spoil it, so let's move on. Guilty Crown is a slight disappointment, but there was good character growth and much twists in the story. Sad thing is that most of those doesn't matter at the end. And as for Nisemonogatari, what can you expect from Shaft and Nishio? Totally eccentric, humorous and some (ehem) rather amorous moments. Finally, the gem of the season, Another. So much blood. So much blood. Misaki was irresistibly cute. They manage to keep her stoic face to the end, and that is much appreciated. A dere Misaki would be heaven to watch, but hellishly detrimental to the show.

As for games, I am now playing Kamidori by Eushully. Typical JRPG, the game play was enjoyable enough, and the story is not as ridiculous as Rance (but still pretty insane, if you ask me). There's Subarashii Hibi on hiatus, and that's it for games.

I think it's Easter today. No eggs for me.
