“novel characters errata” introduction

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

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, 5 side character posts, and […]

“novel samples”: Chapter 2 Excerpt

Friday, May 23rd, 2008

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 a long read, so please […]

“anime hoedown”: male protagonists

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

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!

“what if” introduction

Wednesday, May 7th, 2008

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 other words, the question I’m […]

“what do you think”: on anime titles

Tuesday, May 6th, 2008

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, was so rampantly popular it […]

“novel samples” introduction

Monday, May 5th, 2008

From time to time, I see a bunch of people with good writing praised on local fanfiction websites, but it doesn’t seem like the majority of the people want to do anything with their writing past just writing them up. To me, it seems like a wasted opportunity. I feel that if you […]

“musings of the enigmatic” introduction

Monday, May 5th, 2008

Have you ever wondered why this blog is called “Musings of the Enigmatic”? And why the change from “anime blog of a mere shadow”? Well, there’s a few reasons.
Firstly, “anime blog of a mere shadow”, for some odd reason, just immediately made me lose interest. I made four posts, published two of […]

“anime hoedown” introduction

Sunday, May 4th, 2008

This section will be called “Anime Hoedown”. Basically, it’s a way to keep my thoughts in the post without making it too obvious, as times may call for it.
So what’s a hoedown? The hoedown referred to here is from the now-retired television show Whose Line Is It Anyway?, where four comedians would stand […]

“opening theme grading” introduction

Friday, May 2nd, 2008

This section will be called “Opening Theme Grading”. For those who had seen my blog before I remade it, this was the main section and what I considered my specialty. Opening Themes (referred hereafter as OP) are the garnish of anime for some (as a presentation addition, but not to be consumed), and […]

“what do you think” introduction

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

This section will be called “What do you think?” While normally, blogs are meant to display an author’s opinion and have people reading it comment on the material, I want to make the experience two-way. I doubt that many anime bloggers have gone through an entire season without questions of sorts, and with […]
