Inspired by Taiga and Shiki, I’ve decided to take up Kendo. Today was the first day, and my body is screaming at me for my idiotic fanboyish whims. My friend, who just started a couple weeks ago himself, was the one who invited me to his girlfriend’s dojo. Afterwards, we had dinner at her place, and she recommended watching Bamboo Blade, which I never continued after episode one. I have a feeling it might not be 100% representative of what life in a Kendo dojo is like.

Finished Higashi no Eden, and I guess the studio really wanted to save some material for the movies, as the ending was pretty bad at tying up loose ends. Was an enjoyable show nonetheless. A bit too praising of NEETs, I thought, but it’s a good idea nonetheless.

On some random survey, I put down that I would be more than willing to relocate to Japan for work. It would be an absolute dream to be able to live and work in Japan. It is currently a goal I’ve set to complete within three years.

New GETs: K-ON Vol. 1 Blu-Ray, Kara no Kyoukai Vol. 6 LE DVD, Good Smile Company Ryougi Shiki Garan no Dou 1/7 PVC. I’m going to be needing a new shelf sometime soon.

I am eagerly anticipating Love Plus. Pre-ordered it from Play-Asia, but wished I could’ve gotten in on Amazon Japan’s under cutting of independent game retailers.

I’m probably going to have to cut back on the spending this month. As much as I appreciate the anime I watch, $50 per two episodes takes quite a toll on one’s bank account. And I want to buy some R1 releases as gifts for friends. Operation stop visiting Amazon.co.jp, staarto!
