Imagine for a moment, a chalkboard. With the long edge of the chalk, you draw a wide line. Then, in the middle of this wide line, you draw another line, but this time with the sharp edge of the chalk. This difference is what separates the few from the many…. a concentrated connection so noticeable and striking that ignoring it; the entwine of characters, just isn’t possible. The senses flock in unknown directions, emotions bewilder the viewer, and the story leaps in time, Toward the Terra…
This is more of a ‘Wrap-up’ post than anything. Really, honestly. Why would I lie?
Desho?Wow, I knew it when I finished Baccano! last night, but has a marathon ever given a fresh light to this world of anime? I was beginning to feel a bit static with the Autumn season habits. The series are awesome, but personally, my viewing habits, yuh. It’s like: Gundam 00, and Shana on Monday nights, Dragonaut on Fridays, Minami-ke on Thursdays, etc etc etc. Wait… that’s a schedule! Damn the schedule! This is probably a negative disposition to have, but schedules take my life away; I have trouble with them.
Gearing up for my marathon batch, I started into the backlog with a Baccano! mini-marathon this weekend. Talk about bat-shit crazy stuff. Baccano! fits the bill.
Moyashimon begins with an interesting premise, there is a boy who can “see” microbes. From the initial screens I found of the episode 01, I had little idea what the animation was like. After a couple good mentions among the anime bloggers, I had to give it a shot; hooked first episode.
So I’m in the middle of a good mini-marathon with Baccano! Right now dawning episode 6. I was planning on resuming with episode 7 and finishing first thing tomorrow, but oh something good came up!
For the season, ef has surpassed my expectations better than any other. It’s probably wrong heading into a series thinking, “This is going to fail, I’m gonna drop it.” I didn’t necessarily feel as so, because of SHAFT, heaven save them [ from themselves ], was the studio; I was willing to toss in the chips and my keys. Yet, my assumptions were invalid, and I love being wrong here.
