Konnichiwa from the depths of textbooks! It’s been a while since I’ve put anything up here. I’d say something about all the exams and homework I’ve had, going into my junior year, but everyone knows that’s a lame excuse.

But on to the topic of today’s post. I’ve been doing some thinking (with all 1.6 volts of my potato-sized brain), particularly about why some anime work and why some don’t. My biggest complaint about a lot of shows I finish and don’t like are that they felt rushed, and that it should have had 12 more episodes. But looking back on my repertoire, a lot of my favorite shows were 12 episodes or less. So obviously, the curse of 1-cour isn’t impossible to overcome. Hell, Yamamoto Yutaka himself, who I’m poking fun at in my title, stated at NDK that failing to tell a story in 12 episodes is the writer’s fault, not the block’s.

Why can some shows succeed in a mere 4-5 hours of animation while others flop? Is 24 episodes always better than 12? How about 50?

No, it’s not the End of Days.

It’s the beginning of Exam Season, that wonderful time of the semester when everyone has at least one major exam per week for the next five weeks.  Aren’t you glad you chose Mines?

Starting this week, the Club enters Movie Madness Mode™.  As such, we start each showing with two episodes of our Repeater series, and then we show a movie we pulled out of some godforsaken pit.  Come hear me rant and/or rave about what the Senior Staff would dare to call “entertainment,” won’t you?

Greetings all, time for the preview for the CSM Anime Club showing on 9-21-2011.  As always, BE241, 6pm… BE THERE!

I got bored and thought I should come up with a Japanese pseudonym or something.

So, here it is, 朴宰厦、ぼく さいか, Boku Saika.

Well, that’s exactly my name in Korean too, just different readings.

Hey guys. Long time no rant. I’ve been putting this off more and more, as you can probably see. I don’t have a convenient pocket in my schedule to make these posts like I did last year, so I’ve mostly just been doing homework and trying to figure out what my new desktop can do, which isn’t much.

But it can make these posts, so I guess I should. This time I’ll be going over both weeks. As a reminder, the shows we watched were: Hidan no Aria, Ano Hana, Legend of the Legendary Heroes, No. 6, Kami-sama Dolls, and Kami-sama no Memo-cho. I’ll probably make each ‘review’ a bit shorter than normal because I should be doing maths instead.

Since I’m obviously getting reluctant to do these posts, does someone maybe want to take over? It’s not a hard job, I promise, though it doesn’t pay nearly enough. Alternatively, maybe I’ll just switch to commenting on Steve’s previews, and we can just do that.

Anyway, here goes.

So, many of you know I’m a VA(voice actors/actresses) otaku who enjoys VA jokes more than anything.

And a VA otaku like me can’t let it pass the fact that both Madoka and Homura’s voice actresses are in BlazBlue. Then I began to fantasize cause that’s what I’m good at.

This may contain spoilers to those who haven’t seen Madoka yet.

Hello all, Steve here again with another showing preview.  We will again be in Berthoud 241 at 6 P.M., and hopefully Gene won’t send out the email 15 minutes before the showing this time.

I really want to make something and I feel like my life would be wasted we I don’t. I tried various things, and liked most of them, but didn’t continue anything. Then I saw this guy’s Youtube channel, and I thought I want to do something like that. So here’s what I did. Attempt to Rolling Girl orchestra arrange, only the intro. I know it sucks, but hey, I’m not a pro, and I’m using General Midi.

For those who don’t know,  Nan Desu Kan is this weekend.  This post is to help schedule rides.  The schedule for the con is available here.  Post in this thread if you’re going to the con!

Greetings peons, VP Steve here with a preview of the CSM Anime Club showing on 9/7/2011.  As always, we’ll be in Berthoud Hall 241 and the showing starts at 6:00 P.M.
