Life Lessons from Skip Beat 01: This Calls For a Revolution!

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.

My Moe-mpathy for Taiga (and Lack of Sympathy for the Novel/Manga Elitists)

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.

A Little Plea Amidst the Heated Shugo Chara Filler ‘Battle’

If the Shugo Charas are all alive and kicking IRL, they’d probably show up right in front the SC fans and call a ‘halt!’ (or a screechy ‘waitooooo!!’ from Iru) to the dorama happening in this fandom. My thoughts on this can be summed up with this one little question: Why So Serious? But you know I won’t stop there.

You Want an Objective Toshokan Sensou Review? Look No Further!

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:

Himitsu ~The Rantful Revelations~

People who have been keeping up with my MAL probably noticed that I already dropped Himitsu off my list, after mentioning nothing but praises for the show in my one and only blog post for it.

With the first four episodes of Himitsu, I was spellbound. For the first time in my life I thought I was seeing the world through Shimizu Reiko’s eyes. But then for some reason, the magic the show had on me gradually worn off, and after 6 episodes, I feel like I’m just dragging myself to watch the succeeding ones (and hence I didn’t get past episode 7 any more). I can’t pinpoint exactly what drove me away from this show. Perhaps it’s Aoki, the angsty siscon to whose thought patterns we are made to conform to with each episode, or the chief who remains as monotonic as ever (Tomokazu Seki was such a waste on him). Issa-sa had this very sentiment right after episode 3; I only felt it after 6 episodes.
