Catching up

So much for that new year’s resolution. Maybe that legend of how a trip to Japan makes one start to lose interest in anime is somewhat true. Except I’m pretty sure I’ve been watching more anime since my trip, I just haven’t had much push to blog about it. So let’s take a conservative “no guarantees” approach and try to make up for lost time.
Some of the highlights in otakudom in the past two weeks for me:
- Umineko Episode 4: Epic is very appropriate here. Will need to go back through my notes to see if I can sort out the truth from all the red (and blue) herrings.
- Toradora: It was Mimi’s post that got me to sit down and give the show a second try, and I am so glad I did. I finally understand all the HatchiKuro comparisons, and makes sense as it’s from JC Staff. The ending was satisfying, if a bit rushed. Yet another light novel I need to find a way to read (didn’t appear to be licensed last I checked).
- K-ON: KyoAni knows how to get me to spend money. Here’s hoping for more volumes of the manga and a sequel.
Still have Higashi no Eden and Hatsukoi Limited to get through. Haven’t even looked at what’s coming for the Summer season. But I should have a bit more time now to watch anime and blog (not necessarily in that order), so I should finally be able to get this blog off the ground soon, and start getting some actual readers, as opposed to the imaginary ones I’m writing to (I love you guys!)…
hheeeyy where are you getting umineko?
is it out already? or are you playing the game… in.. in … japanese? O________O

Bought the 4th volume (which includes all the four released Episodes 1-4) from Himeya Shop, and got the English patch from the Witch Hunt, a group that’s translating the games. Enjoy! It gets pretty addicting, and you’ll easily lose several hours each day clicking through the chapters.
