"But The Parade Will Go On"

How I hate to see old friends go.

Overall Review: Kamisama ga Uso wo Tsuku

There is great injustice in the anime world when a mangaka so talented goes relatively unheard of.

I feel like this directing style is very, very familiar...

Site Announcements & The End of an Era

First off, I'd like to apologize for the lack of activity on LoQ recently. Apart from some hectic stuff going on as I prepare to move back to college this week, Mars has also been ill post-surgery and my internet has been frustratingly slow.

Apart from that however, I want to announce that LoQ is going on an indeterminate break from episodic blogging. I don't mean that I'm quitting, as I'm still going to work on Random Curiosity on an episodic basis, but unfortunately I've started to feel burnout from my attempts to keep up with so many series every season. That doesn't mean I don't like blogging, but when you've spent an entire summer mostly blogging, scanlating, writing for a visual novel, and otherwise living on what boils down to work, you get tired, and you get stressed. I still want to blog, but I don't want to blog on a compulsive basis, especially when it comes down to returning to school and setting time aside for my real life endeavors.

So here's what's happening:

All episodic series will be dropped within the next week, minus a few exceptions.

Those exceptions are all my RC shows (ie, Servant x Service and Kaminomi for this season), as well as the still-running Shingeki and my favorite show of the season, Kaminai. Free! won't be dropped either, since my sister is still covering that. However, Uchouten Kazoku, Blood Lad, and Gin no Saji are dropped; not because I don't like them, but because I can't keep up with this hectic schedule. That being said, I'm not dropping any other features of the site; I'm still doing mid and final season reviews and season previews, as well as overall reviews of any series I've finished regardless of when, nor are any of my scanlation projects being dropped. It's just that I'm going to be more lenient on myself about scheduling and just take things at an easier pace.

Apologies for any inconvenience this might cause, and I'm sorry for dropping all these shows so far into the season. Thank you so much for your support and friendliness over the past three seasons, but unfortunately I'm constantly stressed out by my hobby, which is never a good sign. Perhaps someday I'll return to being a full-time episodic blogger, but for the meantime, I need a rest.

That was one of the best paced episodes of Megami-hen yet.

How do you choose between living in fear and dying for the sake of finding a small way out?

If I haven’t been obvious enough, I’m going to use this post to write a letter of love and admiration for Yui Goido.

Uchouten Kazoku - 2

"Mother and Raijin, The God of Thunder"

This is a bit more what I was expecting of the series in the first place.

"Everyone Has Close Calls, So Learn From Them and Keep the Workplace Healthy"

I did not see that coming until right before it did.
