It’s fitting that an episode about vision is particularly beautiful.
Kimagure Orange Road OVA
September 5, 2006 on 9:45 pm | In Kimagure Orange Road | Comments Off on Kimagure Orange Road OVAThere’s always a degree of risk involved in OVAs derived from popular TV series: after a conclusion they can seem unnecessary, or they can destroy the magic of a TV series through the law of diminishing returns.
This is not the case with Kimagure Orange Road: they do not interfere with the established continuity and, I’ll admit, I got high from inhaling the nostalgia fumes. If you can get nostalgic for a show even while watching it, it’s doing something right. I’ll admit that the production values are inconsistent, but that is true, too, of the TV series: hair colours were never really established in its entire 48 episode run.
Honey & Clover II – episode 9

It took me a moment to realise that Hagu-chan has become Rika II. I’m not sure what to think of that development. This is a well focused episode, effectively portraying Yamada and Takemoto’s reactions to Hagu-chan’s situation. A good episode of a program will spin out from a single idea to create an all around well-made effort. Even the Morita part of the episode was tied in well.

Your circuit’s dead, there’s something wrong
September 2, 2006 on 11:53 pm | In Site News | 3 Comments… Can you hear me, Major Tom?
With the second half of semester coming up, I’ve got less time to watch and write, because I don’t want to plunge into last second panics any more. Unless I contradict myself and do otherwise, I will no longer be flooding your aggregators.
In addition to this, my passion for the fansub scene is fading as I grow more and more nostalgic and swim in my pool of DVDs. If you could see how far behind I am on the season, you would weep. The tears would form another pool for me to swim in.
Long story short: I am not going to be writing 51 posts in September 2006.
