I’ve been consumed by a lack of motivation in the face of anime the last six weeks or so. Apart from the Nana<\/I> clip episode, I can’t remember if I’ve watched anything since I want to return to that day<\/I>.<\/p>\n

Working hard on pretending to be ready for my Japanese speaking test tomorrow (including the memorable line “I’m so glad that the Cold War has ended. Russia, banzai!”), I had the opportunity to steal my speaking partner’s library of music.<\/p>\n

The folder was filled with a plethora of obscure songs from obscure titles, and before long I was rocking out to “Horizon”, the ED of Argento Soma<\/I>:<\/p>\n

Music has the power to send you back. I was instantly transported to those fine days when I was provided with one of my few true moments of anime shock and elation.<\/p>\n

Heck, as I sit here avoiding work, I’m listening to the first ED of Suzuka<\/I>. A lot of the time, music can be better than the show it supports. Suzuka<\/I> had the makings of greatness but it ended up with the endings of suckness.
\nEven as I sit here, I’m drawn towards Sakura Diaries<\/I> once more. That’s effed up romance done right<\/i>.<\/p>\n

The big watershed moment for me was listening to Hayashibara Megumi’s excellent ED for Abenobashi<\/I>. That’s a case of double nostalgia right there.<\/p>\n

All I need to say is this: I don’t hate anime, and I’m looking forward to reliving my glory days with the DVDs. Those days when things were that much simpler.<\/p>\n

I’m not ready yet; don’t expect me to check back in for proper until mid November at the earliest. I might let you know that I’m still alive from time to time, and I’ll probably keep updating my other half<\/a> in the meantime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
