Music Monday – A Perfect yet Imperfect OP
Hyouka is quickly turning into one of my favourite anime this season – the fact that it’s the only anime I’m watching this season does not come into it. Its down-to-earth setting with interesting character(s) and some mystery thrown into the mix really makes me happy.

Rest in Peace, Maurice Sendak
Having been born in Peru, I’m not familiar with many English children books – hell, I can’t even remember Spanish children books that much. So of course I’m not really familiar with Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak, and didn’t really give it much thought when the film came out a few years ago.
It is always sad when a well known author dies. Those who have read and remember his work especially. For those who aren’t familiar with the author and/or his work, it brings a different kind of pain and sadness.
Rest in peace Maurice. I didn’t know you, at all, nor Where the Wild Things Are. But I hope that I will, someday. Thanks in advance for everything.

The rules are simple: Take a picture every hour (or whenever you can) for one day to show what your day is like, and then post them up! I found out about this project not too long ago, so I decided to do it this year!

Rurouni Kenshin: Shin Kyoto-Hen
I was looking forward to this. A new RuroKen anime! Maybe just an OVA and not a series, but still! Alongside the new manga coming out in a few months, and the live-action film being released late in the year, I was thinking 2012 would be the greatest year ever – even if the world somehow ends.
But noooo. Not only did they screw with the story, they screwed with the best arc of the anime! (second best arc of the manga). WHY!
Just like yesterday’s post, this contains spoilers.

The Hunger Games – Review
Last month I wrote about having read the books and what I thought about them, and how I was excited about the film. Well, on Wednesday I went off with my friend Shaz to watch it! And I thought I’d write my thoughts about the film here.
Here there be spoilers. Read the rest of this entry »
