http://thenightsshadow.animeblogger.net in the darkness, no voice differs Tue, 17 Nov 2009 03:56:09 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en There's a couple of things I want to note, seeing as the script for Hayate's Chapter 249 is now out. I have seen quite a number of people that have clamored regarding the predictability and the "dwindling Hata syndrome", as I call it, that can be found in the manga. ... http://thenightsshadow.animeblogger.net/?p=56 First Impressions are initial thoughts regarding the anime itself. It typically consists of thoughts compiled after cap-watching or screen-watching the first episode and watching the OP a bunch of times. Fall 2009 is upon us, and because of that, we have definitely new openings. But before I start covering, ... http://thenightsshadow.animeblogger.net/?p=54 I don't know when it really started. It might have been my violin lessons when I was three. It might have been my aversion to what I deemed "secular" music, which started at age seven. It might have been my inconclusiveness to deciding what band instrument to ... http://thenightsshadow.animeblogger.net/?p=52 When one looks at the different characters in many different shows, each person finds at least one archetype particularly pleasing to them. In addition, I'm sure most everyone finds a new combination of archetypes refreshing. But I think the problem today in anime isn't about whether an archetype is "refreshing", ... http://thenightsshadow.animeblogger.net/?p=50 This is the part of the epilogue where Alexan and Kiria confront each other in the final battle, away from all influences on them. Their final test rests in the gravity chamber of Alexandre, Ralshay's castle, facing each other in mental combat. While I haven't explained this yet, just know ... http://thenightsshadow.animeblogger.net/?p=48 You know, I never really understood Vargus' addiction to anime. I never understood what drew him to 2d characters. I was raised as a upright and proper Jew, and as such I wouldn't have tolerated watching what he did. Things like "anime" would only draw me away ... http://thenightsshadow.animeblogger.net/?p=45 I should probably explain this . Ramblings of the Heart takes the characters from my novel, and places them in differing situations (the situation changes depending on the post, and a clue is usually found in there). Because of this, as well as their differing viewpoints, the potential ... http://thenightsshadow.animeblogger.net/?p=44 Sometimes, I wonder. I wonder about the essence of life and whether a fleeting pleasure or a seasonal fling contains more worth than the downsides. I wonder about what it truly means to be alive, and how one can die more than once and still be physically living. ... http://thenightsshadow.animeblogger.net/?p=43 Link to PV here. What can I say about this? If the theme is going to be melodies, I wouldn't be surprised to see more of the instruments showing up. Memories was the theme of the first anime, and it was very well done, threaded and weaved together inconspicuously. Still, ... http://thenightsshadow.animeblogger.net/?p=42 This "what if" post is going to be about D.C II S.S. ~Da Capo II Second Season's OP, Sakura Amaneku Sekai. Before I go into detail, let me set a bit of a background. (Warning, spoilers if you have not seen the entirety of Da Capo prior to the current ... http://thenightsshadow.animeblogger.net/?p=36 Honestly, I don't think I'll get away with posting chapters without first posting the characters. Obviously, for the sake of blogging and the fact that one character can make a post tl;dr, I have to split them up, giving them their own post. That'd be...13 main character posts, ... http://thenightsshadow.animeblogger.net/?p=39 This part of Chapter 2 follows a winding down from the battle in the previous chapter and some understanding as to who Vargus really is. The excerpt begins a bit over halfway into Kiria's diary entry, and ends at around when she's finished writing it. This won't be ... http://thenightsshadow.animeblogger.net/?p=38 When I think protagonists some wussies come to mind, Keitaro, Shinji, Keiichi are chronically inclined, Too often I wish I could break their plot-connected armor, And take their place in harem shows to show girls I'm a charmer. Think you could do better? Post your versions here! http://thenightsshadow.animeblogger.net/?p=37 What if? That's the title of this section. Now, I haven't introduced much of myself yet, but I am a musician. Maybe this is because of that fact, but I like to question "what if the entire OP was animated?" before it happens, should it do so. In ... http://thenightsshadow.animeblogger.net/?p=34 My question on "What do you think" has something to do with anime names. Anime Titles are quite numerous and have varied effects on the anime itself. For example, Pumpkin Scissors was an anime that some people watched merely because of its Engrish title. Another one, called Love Hina, ... http://thenightsshadow.animeblogger.net/?p=33
