Life after/during summer….

College starts again in Septenber…I wanted more time to do all the things I have been skipping out on(updating this blog of mine for example).

I like that hoodie =D

Anyway, I’ve been living a semi-hikkomori lifestyle.Only venturing out of my apartment for food and perhaps answering the odd phone call.

Pangya is probably the only game where you can be lolicon openly

One of the reasons would be my preoccupation with summer school.And the amount of work I have to do in scanlating manga.Not to mention my current addiction to pangya(its getting better).

Strangely enough, there hasn’t been much to talk about on the anime scene for me.Alot of “second season” anime are making their rounds.I’m enjoying Spice and Wolf  2 alot…..but that’s about it I guess.I do watch a few others but it merely serves to kill time.

Over the past year or two, I’ve noticed the shrinking anime indistry in japan while online anime disribution is as healthy as ever.Torrents are used less and less.Streamng has become the new fad.These drastic changes put the indistry’s status in limbo.It’s probably going to be the turning point which will decide the fate of the industry.Thisyear alone I’ve noticed a sharp decline in anime variety.A drop in seinen titles and a large scale increase in moe,ecchi and shounen titles.Titles which sell.Titles which I have grown sick of unfortunately.Hopefully things turn out for the better.

I’ll probably  be doing whole series reviews from now on if my schedule permits.Until next time.

Spice and Wolf 7 – DVD edition

Its finally here so this is the final episode entry for the series.

Basically nothing happened this episode which warrants a detailed summary,so I’m just going over the main points.

The episode,I think was centered around how Horo’s clothes changed from episode 6 to 8.Wow!! That was

Spice and Wolf 13(END):Wolf and New Journey

Its sad that winter 冬 is over and spring 春 is here or is it the other way around for you guys?Anyway its the end of spicy wolf..actually it ended on Tuesday.In this final episode we see Lawrence bruised and battered in his desperate attempt to save Nora.

Lawrence burns the ropes on his wrist with the fire he started earlier and heads off like a madman in search of women Horo and Nora.

Spice and wolf 12:Wolf and a Group of Youngsters

First off I feel relieved and in pain at the same time.The reason for the former being that nothing horrible happened to Horo yet this episode but I am suffering from a mild flu (X_X) Anyway,back to spicy wolf.

Say what?!(0.o)?

Spice And Wolf 11:A Wolf and the Greatest Secret Plan

Lawrence goes on begging for money in the streets of Rubenheigen.Not seeming as distressed as he was before,he looks resigned to the fact that he will become a bankrupt the day after tomorrow.He does however manage to gather 3 Rumiones of which he well….considered to use as gambling money.But realising that gambling is never statistically favourable he leaves the money with Horo and says his goodbye after apologising for his outburst previously. 

Spice and Wolf 10:A Wolf and a Whirling Conspiracy

This was one of the big turning points of the series when we are finally shown how all the events in the past few episodes tie up.While I still have a few more questions, I assume they will be answered soon.

 

This “happy” scene is a far cry from what was to come.

The episode started on a bad feel as Lawrence is attempting to sell the  armor he bought which has been rendered worthless due to the sharp

Spice and Wolf 9:Wolf and Shepherd’s Lambs

“Of course!!” thought Lawrence as he is yet again blessed with good fortune.This time he meets up with a Shepherd girl who is apparently a witch.I guess it will be revealed as to why she is thought of in this manner while she obviously contradicts all this negative rumours with her umm appeal?And no Lawrence did not rent himself another wife/prostitute

Spice and Wolf 8:A Wolf and the Perfect Scales

So its finally released with subs.I took the trouble to wake up from my long nap and take the trouble to endure 3 hours of people flooding BSS’s irc channel asking for episode 7(refer to my post on episode 7).So lets get started.I was assured that episode 7 has nothing to do with episode 8 so we shall not worry about it being a dvd episode.

Edit:Just FYI, I  forgot to mention that the title above differs from the fansub I watched.The fansub’s interpretation is incorrect. I read it as ”perfect scales” and I crossed checked with Animenewsnetwork(ANN) but BSS listed it as “adjusted”.Don’t tell them this since I understand how unpleasent it is to be told your mistakes especially when you are in a fansub group.

Spice and Wolf 7:Wolf and the Perfect Scales

Greetings.Due to some sick twist of fate I am blogging a non-existent episode or rather its only going to be out in dvd format.Cruel but life is never fair.Do not worry since I shall be doing episode 8 very shortly.

Episode 8 review done please proceed to the post if you were looking for it HERE.Also the title above is for episode 8.Currently,it is unknown what episode 7 is going to be called.DVD release is scheduled for 30th May 2008.

As to why this is a dvd only episode,this person wonders why the whole of episode 1 was not a dvd episode as well since a

Spice and wolf 6:Wolf and Silent Farewell

Its finally here and I am totally awestruck by its awesomeness ^^.I guess it was worth stalking BSS’s irc channel for the release lolz.So we begin where we left off last time.

 

Horo and Lawrence were wandering around the various underground tunnels which were built under the town much like
