Belated Happy Birthday, LoQ!

I seem to have forgotten among the frenzy of exams and my lack of time to commit to the site, but we're a year into this now despite the lack of activity. Thank you all so much for tuning in and some of you for waiting patiently. Depending on how much time I find myself with my thesis this coming semester, Ivan and I may decide to cover a series or two (we're looking at Bones' series for now). There won't be a winter preview seeing as how late it is in the season, but there will be a few intros to series I'm trying out. See you all in the next couple of weeks!

Apologies for the Lack of Activity Recently...

Unfortunately, real life has me a bit tied up and more than a little unmotivated to write on any real basis recently, so I'm sorry for leaving the site to languish like this for so long. Currently I'm swamped with finals and studying, among other personal concerns, but I will motivate myself to at least write intros and outros to each season as usual, and other miscellaneous reviews (such as for games or anime I've finally gotten around to) as well as my translation projects (which are actually getting done, believe it or not; they're just taking more time because Efter and I are both busy and taking our time). I really do miss LoQ, quite dearly, but it seems I've lost a lot of motivation recently. Thanks for sticking around, I won't be gone 100%, but for at least a while, things will probably stay somewhat quiet.

Thank you so much for reading and staying with me all this time,

Kairi

The Cockblocking Character Conundrum (CCC)

I didn't come up with the name, but this is definitely something I think doesn't get enough recognition and that we should think about more actively as viewers of anime and other storytelling mediums.

Nerawareta Gakuen

Yes, this film was so visually gorgeous that we're bringing you about 75 screencaps.

Servant x Service - 11 & 12

"Beware The Sweet Trap That Tries To Lure You In" and "Hold On A Second, Familiarity and Carelessness Can Be Fatal"

SAYA IS A MAN DESTROYER!

"The Way of the Sea"

So far, I can attest that this is a really good series in the making.

"Messier"

I hope you like your explosions with 80% more mecha and gunfire.

"That Time, It Also Rained"

Oh yeah, things are getting very dark, very fast.

"Rune Factory? What the heck is that?"

Well, for one thing, other than Zelda, this is my most beloved game franchise.

Initial Impressions: Kakumeiki Valvrave 2

Welcome back, old friend. You have been missed dearly.

Servant x Service - 9 & 10

"Do You Have It? Mental Capacity and Accumulated Feelings" and "Things Will Work Out Later, But Good Things Can Also Cause Regrets"

I find Momoi to be a lot cuter than Touko, not too surprisingly.

I can't help but be upset that I never managed to blog this season properly in the end, because there are at least three really good shows I wanted to follow. This is one of them.
