One thing people will find most noteworthy about Skip Beat is the goddess heroine Kyoko and her versatility as a character. Without doubt, Kyoko has got to be the most expressive character you’ll ever see in the manga/anime world, if the above screencaps don’t serve enough proof of that. Opinions regarding Skip Beat’s (and Kyoko’s) awesomeness or depth might differ from person to person (I know for a fact that my ability to relate with Skip Beat is far beyond normal), but this is one thing we can all agree with.

…as my dear kouhai arrives from his business trip to Japan, so does my Hana to Yume magazine with the SIZZLING HAWT Skip Beat Furoku!! *squeals in the corner* Consider this my obligatory “My Skip Beat Kokoro no Tamago is not dead yet!” post, as I am finally In The Zone to catch up with the ongoing anime, after getting stuck at episode 4 a few months ago orz. Pressures from blogging begone! I’d rather watch and love Skip Beat and not just follow it for the sake of blogging. Lazy excuse to not blog about Skip Beat regularly, but makes for a more enjoyable and worthwhile experience for me ^__^

I Think I Shall Forever Be, The Corda Fangurl That I’m Fated To Be…

There are times when you have to forget certain ‘blogging standards’ that you’ve come to have throughout this whole gig (which, of course, only exists in your mind, and what the readers have come to believe in — something can always dare [...]

2 episodes in, and Skip Beat still does not disappoint! Some people, like Fuyumaiden, found some of the anime comical scenes not so funny, and well, though I somewhat agree with this, I still find myself laughing at those scenes nonetheless. It seems that the subbers are catching up on this quick (or should I say, Chihiro fansubs caught up, and I sure hope ureshii-fansubs will too!), and quite a number of bloggers are covering it too, from traps, to tsunderes, among other fangirls, and new converts. Though, there seems to be a lack of testosterone power in the Skip Beat blogging scene (no, Impz is not counted). Glad to see more guys are getting into this show, Bateszi, ghostlightning, and Owen, in particular. With these guys joining in the Skip Beat bandwagon (and hopefully, many more to come?), I’m pretty positive that we’ll see an influx of editorial posts for Skip Beat sooner or later.

I’m not sure if this will be a regular episodic feature in this blog, considering how much I lack consistency and determination, but since the idea of making this ‘life lessons from Skip Beat’ post popped into my mind when I was reading the manga about a month ago, I guess it won’t hurt to put this into action now that the anime has aired. Well I guess it would be great if I could share the “life lessons” imparted in each anime episode, but we’ll see how this goes.

So I watched two episodes of ToraDora, and found it awesome. Ironically, the Taiga HATE I’ve seen in the anime community prior to watching made me all the more willing to check it out, enjoy it, love it, and well now, blog it too. Troll genes triggered? I don’t know myself, but for sure, I didn’t enjoy it and love it simply for the sake of being different — to be set apart from the ToraDora / Taiga haters and whatnot.

You know something’s up when I post this early, when I go out of my way looking for a way to watch this in the office because the raw got released while I was asleep! As such, the screencaps are all crappy, bear with it till I get the actual raws.

I’ve been reading the Hakushaku to Yousei novel since last week (slowly, because I was preoccupied with other stuff), and I’m enjoying the read so far. The start seemed a little shaky, I had a hard time picturing the Victorian-esque Western setting due to lack of vivid details, though I’m not really sure if it’s got something to do with my lack of comprehension or the writing itself (I haven’t read enough fantasy books to be a ‘good’ critic). But that’s nothing compared to the priceless antics I’m seeing from the Fairy Doctor Lydia and the Count Edgar, and this is exactly why I actually said I’m enjoying this little adventure.

It feels like years since I last posted about Library War, and I guess I owe the fans out there some good ol’ dose of more TS pimpin’ I know this will raise the eyebrows of the likes of blissmo, among other non-TS fans, but oh well~

You might be wondering why I haven’t posted any Toshokan Sensou deep frying posts in months. Well, there’s actually a pretty good reason behind this, and it goes beyond my usual alibi of being busy and not having enough time. I stopped reading the Toshokan Sensou novels, for a month or so now *hears gasps* It’s all because of the upcoming grueling JLPT1 exam, which I’ll be taking this coming December. Since this is less than 4 months away, I figured it’d be best to get my lazy arse off to actually study the required grammar patterns and kanji vocabs for the exam, because well, time waits for no one

So I gave Toshokan Sensou a full mark of 10/10 in my MAL (and once again I hear cynics go “WHUTT?!”). Objectively speaking, there’s a plenty of good reasons why I came up with this score, and I’ll just let this graph speak for ‘em:
