Erk, I'll do that post after holidays are over. It's nothing terrible though. Don't worry.
Anyway this is a generic anime/manga catch up post.
Anime
Aoi Bungaku 1 - Interesting and the style smells like MnY, except grittier and less shiny.
Kuchu Buranko 2 - I could probably list a dozen of differences, but this ending was so much more heart-warming than in the book. I like the fact that they slipped in a Kayo for Tetsuya.
Tegami Bachi 3 - so far so good. I'm still addicted to the ED song.
Seiken no Blacksmith 2 - Looks like I'll keep up with this one after all.
Tatakau Shisho - The Book of Bantorra 4 - Awesome fighting in this episode!! The story is interesting and mysterious~ I still can't get over the silly names though.
Manga
Sugiru Juushichi no Haru - Hey Fuyumi Ono fans out there, especially the Ghost Hunt and other mystery/horror fans - check this manga out! You'll like it!
UDDUP: Where is chapter 89 and 90?! D:
ps. I may have unintentionally cosplayed Pyro today depending on whether he wears a brown attire or not.

The new raw for UDDUP is out! About time!
I've only got two new anime to watch this fall. Or three, if Letter Bee turns out to be my kind of deal.Fall anime
Kuchu Buranko - Yeah, you knew, but this was something I never expected... PAKU ROMI as the doctor!!! Also, I really want to hear Sakurai in that role. He's playing a certain poor character from the first novel and I was like.... whut. XD
The Sacred Blacksmith - For the character designs (ahem Tokyo Majin) and the trailer looks great. I want Cecily's boots and Patty looks so cute. Oh yeah, Luke, and Siegfried even more so = fangirl bait!! FANGIRL BAIT I TELL YOU!!
Manga recs
Shiki - it's getting really good! We're starting to get to know the people other than the Sotoba locals. Read up to vol 5 chapter 14 and ahhhh Tohru!! D: Natsuno's really something too.
Akagami Shirayuki Hime - Been keeping up with this and it hasn't let me down. It's a fantasy and slice of life shoujo manga, but it's good stuff! Both female and male protagonists are interesting and completely adorable. Shirayuki somehow managed up my list of favorite female characters.
Now for something entirely else...
I may participate in nano this year. Anybody else doing it? I've got an idea and figuring it out atm, but it's probably not enough to pass the 50,000 limit, unless I veer off the plot based road. Though I did decide on doing it in Dutch so I can be more ~elaborate~ and sound pretentiously smart for once (to be perfectly honest, I miss doing such a thing). I absolutely need this story typed out and not to have it stuck in my head any longer, because I want to spend it on the SG story instead.

Kuchu Buranko is a new anime by the Mononoke staff. It's going to air sometime in October and I really can't wait for it. KB is the second book in the Ichiro Irabu series; the first book "In the pool" has been translated into English and my curiosity made me read it.
With five short stories they could structure the anime series like this: 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 3 = 11 episodes.
( no spoilers here; general blathering )
My conclusions? It's not something I usually read (detective novels lolz), but it was definitely worth the time and gave me a good laugh. I'm really excited about how it will be handled in the anime, there is a subtle deep message and much potential weirness to go all out with.

kuchu_buranko exists. May be posting a few excerpts there. Yes there will be episode uploading. That awesome internet connection can't go to waste, eh? Won't be on my own server though.

( Summer camp review goes here )
Summer season anime... Any recommendations for me?
Shortly before camp I got "In The Pool" by Hideo Okuda in the mail... yes, from the Kuuchuu Buranko (Flying Trapeze) anime by the Mononoke team in Fall. I'm just very curious about it.
The first two stories were pretty amusing... according to the novel's cover insert the stories are anime/manga inspired. So as you should expect it's not completely realistic... or better said: the characters are exaggerated. But it's pure lol, seriously. There are three more stories to read, I'll probably resume tomorrow or on Monday.
OH YEAH, I'Mmidnightreverie HOGGING YOUR COMMUNITIES IN 2007-2009. Yes, this is a giant hint in regards to a certain lj comm's existence. Find and the first gets the cookies.
Speaking of exaggeration, I wrote a rather lengthy and cracky Pandora Hearts one shot (found here).
Hehe, I really like my new icon... it reeks of badtouch.
Last but not least...
[fangirl]KYAA, Jon Foreman has a twitter...!! been waiting forever for this, I love this inspiring man. 8D[/fangirl]
