I was also among the people who went “NOOOOO YUUUKKIIIII!!!” as the ending credits rolled, but one quick search on the synopsis of the upcoming episodes is enough to dispel me of this fear, hah! >:]

So calm down people, rest assured that Yuuki is going to be alright~ He’ll just be taken to the hospital, undergo some operation (I’m thinking he has appendicitis, given the indigestion-like symptoms), alive and genki not before long, and homeward bound they go~

For someone named “Mirai”, she sure doesn’t have much hope in the “future”, or more like, she doesn’t even know what that future is supposed to be. She’s discontented with her life at present, but she doesn’t really know what she wants. Confusing huh?

First, a question to those who watched the G.I.Joe movie, how did you find it? Was it awesome? Was it bad? Did it make you RAEG? Did it make you cry?

I ask this because last Sunday, I watched G.I.Joe on the big screen, and thanks to the comments I’ve seen on twitter, I knew what I was in for. If you ask me how I found it, I’d say I enjoyed it, but for the wrong reasons. I left the cinema laughing, trying to imitate ze French traitor guy and his weerd accent and mouth geeesture. I was trolling the movie (because it’s just begging to be trolled), laughing at the sudden keyword-triggered dramatic flashbacks, laughing at the whole “HAHA! You thought I was dead but no!” revive revival plot device used [without even an inch of foreshadowing, which made it all the more lulz], the “Sensei’s new pupil beat me I am a failure at life and I must be evulll!” plot device, etc.

Props to otou-san for writing this awesome H&C post. Eternal, too, though that’s one monster of a post I vowed not to read until I’ve actually rewatched H&C and truly appreciate it for what it’s worth.

The first time I watched Honey and Clover was August 2006, as I remember it, basking in 2-3 eps a day in my hotel room in Cebu after work during my first business trip, glued to the screen of my laptop whilst my roommates are busy playing DoTA; not exactly understanding what was going on through the lives of Takemoto, Morita, Mayama, Yamada, Hagu, Morita, Shuu, and Rika, but knowing enough to realize that there’s so much more to the show than how I was seeing it back then.

These are the times when I’d feel really grateful to the Google Reader Shared Items Secret Society — you made me snap out of my laziness and actually inspired me to actually post about Basara! FINALLY! TT_____TT yes, I know, I owe Sasa a BIG APOLOGY for neglecting this for so long. Oh and HELL YES, I’m neglecting my other planned posts just for this. [oh and a little warning, the pics might be a little spoilerish]

I remember the time when the term ‘overrated’ first got to my nerves, and it was back when the Skip Beat anime was airing. I thought of how elitist the term is, as you show the world that something a LOT of people are enjoying doesn’t really deserve the attention it’s getting, or that your opinion deviates from a lot of people, I vs the mainstream fags. In short, saying “ is overrated” means you’re serving a wet blanket to those who pour out their love and attention to it.

Of course at times I find myself using this very term, and to be honest, it saddens me when I do that, because it seems like I’ve outgrown part of my childhood and can’t join in the fun of that certain something, like, say, Pokemon or Yu-Gi-Oh, and even, gawd, Vampire Knight. Growing up and being reasonable about your taste isn’t really something worth rejoicing, especially if you end up hating what you used to like, and that’s exactly how I feel about Vampire Knight now.
