ごきげんよう、貴婦人!

So what do you think of the Japanese language and what do you love most about Rahxephon?

My big Virgo friend, a supertomboy, is a huge fan of that series and many things sci-fi.

I think that she should check out Tokyo Ghost, Transmetropolitan or Private Eye before she grows out of cyberpunk. None of those comics are cyberpunk in the traditional sense. They all break away from 80s cyberpunk conventions and themes. Like that high tech and low life stuff. They also lack ugly neon lights in the rain or background that my half-Asian friend grew out of.

A Swedish semitomboy that I haven't talked to in months probably grew out of cyberpunk because of that 80s aesthetic stuff.

Manga-wise, I would recommend Silent Möbius, but that requires good knowledge in Japanese, but the finale or chapter 12 is worth exploring. It doesn't follow the old cyberpunk formula either despite being about as old as I am.

Yes, I was born in the late 80s.

Hahaha, well you do have a feed for them on tokyojupiter so I had to click on it. I'm really glad that you're posting again, I was disappointed when your old link started coming up with a blank page.

Why yes, it's nice to hear from you again! I am doing well, and I was very happy to see that you are blogging again, so keep up the good work!

Speaking of blog, my sister-in-law and I recently realized that neither of us ever played an otome game, and I offhandedly claimed that all otome game adaptations seem to be bad. Since you looked into Arcana Familiglia - have you encountered something good/recommendable? After all, both of us like our share of bishounen (hello Ouran!) so there must be something out there, what do you think?

Heh, thanks!

Your post on "nice girl meets nice boy" was good. I agree with you on what you stated.

Hello, I see you're from new york? How are you? Just trying to meet new friends.
Are you enjoying Kimi ni Todoke?

You love RahXephon but you never seen NGE. That's odd since they have so many similarities.

Hi Reika! I see you too are a big fan of RahXephon. It was the first series have I seen and since then I really started to watch a lot of animes.

Your tastes seem to be close to mine, I might take inspiration from your list. ;)

hellOO!!

I said this about Bartender elsewhere: It’s an episodic, slice of life drama that examines the lives of the adults who regularly visit the ‘Eden Hall’ bar. Sometimes it’s romantic, other times it’s tragic, but most of all, it just makes me want to drink alcohol! [...] That kind of sums it up, but basically, I'm really enjoying it. For once, it's anime for adults that actually talks about modern adult life. The emphasis on cocktails is unique and exotic, too.

Basically, it's much better than I dared expect! I couldn't watch it in marathon mode or anything like that, but it's perfect as late night viewing. The whole idea of 'bar drinking' seems so... introspective. I rarely drink, but I like the idea of drinking something that tastes so perfect and savouring it, rather than the 'party culture' way of drink-until-you're-sick!

It's silly stuff, but it's only really like a minute and a half long for each episode, so I can take it. :P

we are a bit of a rare breed but we do enjoy the hell out of the series which is good enough =3

hai! a basara fan! nice to meet you!

I see you liked Juuni Kokki. :) I always thought it was a damn shame it didn't get a proper ending.

Hi reika. Nice to see you're back to blogging about anime and everything. I had a look at your list just now and have to say, it's great that you're having a go at watching Legend of the Galactic Heroes.
