Progress Report One: As Batrock Sleeps

Seeing as everything’s been thrown out of whack this week and MovableType offers the worst tech support ever (at least if you don’t pay them), I’m going to go out a bit and digress from the straight up reviews that I do. Put some of the hated word “blog” back in the phrase “anime blog” and lose all of my readers.

Standby … for action!

Due to snail’s pace releases, stuff will be online soon! Watch out for Honey & Clover 16, Play Ball episode one and RahXephon TV.

Not Tide-Line Blue, it seems.

UPDATE: Well, now Garten is ahead of me on Honey & Clover. That makes me sad.
… I mean good work on catching up, Garten.

Incoming

Standby for Emma, Honey & Clover and Kamichu! updates. I have to edit the Kamichu! to make it marginally less slanderous.

Folks, if you’re going to Kamichu!, don’t use the original group’s releases!

UPDATE: Man, how am I going to get any work done with Half Blood Prince out this weekend?

Behind again

I didn’t want to do a thing about Honey & Clover episode 7 because I’ve got something against back-to-back entries about the same title (things have changed, eh?) … but Emma is way behind due to iichan’s “personal issues”, so I guess I’m going to have to go and do this.

I’ve got reviews of Giant Robo and Orphen: Revenge waiting to be written, but I’m in an exam period. It’s going to be a bumpy end of June.

By the way, Batman Begins, if you’re interested.

Weekly Excuse Post

No posts so far this week because my main series is Master Keaton, and since that “wise” criticism of my Berserk review I’ve decided to review DVD series as a whole.
I’m up to episode 34 of 39.

As for Emma and Honey & Clover, looks like the subbers are behind. Nothing I can do about that.

UPDATE: Looks like Emma 7 is out. Prepare to rock and roll.

Standby

Yeah! I’ve kind of been busy the last week, with a Wong Kar-wai film festival, and Midnight Star Wars. No time to watch, let alone write, about anime.
This will be rectified soon.

Lightning Speed!

I have decided that in the interest of expediency and me not having to draw at straws, for the second halves of series I’m no longer going to try giant explosive entries. Anime Pilgrimage’s concept is not as it was when it began 13 months ago. There’s not enough time to write each series as a journey.
This way, I will be able to banish Argentosoma and Outlaw Star with small, concise articles, and guiltlessly move onto something else.

EDIT: HC made me realise that I was a bit ambiguous, so I’ve edited this to make my intent clearer.

Three week absence

Due to a shift of gears and a desire to spend more time watching anime than writing about it, I have left the month of March pretty much bare on this site. Ever since The Big O II – indeed, since Pom Poko (seen at the start of January, written up in February) – I have had difficulty writing about anime.

I will endeavour to actually put stuff up, but somewhere along the way it stopped being about the journey; that was the point of the pilgrimage. This site was like my anime footsteps.

Anyway! I recommend that to keep track of my updates you use my handy feed. I will be back, and that little device will tell you when.

Cautionary Warning

Hey guys. I don’t normally talk much about the site but I’m saying now that it is going to become, for a while at least, imageless. This is because I appear to have violated some sort of terms of service of my image host, which they weren’t actually nice enough to tell me and just put up the huge “picture unavailable” images all around.
You’ll have to read my site for the sparkling wit and insight contained within, until I reach my own domain/hosting!
I’m doomed.
