So, Matt wanted me to write a review for Koe de Oshigoto! And I’m guessing that is because I’m the seiyuu otaku in our club. Well, I’ll just say it. I won’t. Anime review is not really my forte. I’d say that’s because I’m a type of person who lives in his childhood memories, so while I DO like current stuff, if I have to choose, I’d rather watch all the old stuff I watched back then. So I don’t really watch relatively new anime carefully enough to write a review.

However, I WILL write about my love for VA’s in general. That should make it up, right?

So, last week concluded the 1st wave of major exams.  What better way to enjoy your victory lap than to enjoy pizza and great anime with friends?  As it turns out, there’s a lot of better ways, but you ended up doing this instead.  Today, I’m discussing the thrilling conclusion to [C] and the anime movie REDLINE.  Put the pedal to the (death) metal and start reading!

So we’ve passed the 4th straight week of major exams, and tensions have been running higher than usual.  Thankfully, you can vent your frustrations by screaming at a projector screen in a crowded room with your fellow anime fanatics.  This week, we’re covering the 3rd Act of [C] and the Eureka Seven movie.  Down your reading beverage of choice and leave your pride at the door.

We are now in the 3rd week of the CSM Examination Nightmarathon™, but don’t despair.  The friendly CSMAC Senior Staff has more anime to cram into your brain, which incidentally forces out most of the information you’re about to be tested on.  Read the fine print, people!

Hello everybody (bitch at me now Chaeha), time for this week’s showing preview!  Wednesday, 6pm, BE241.  Anime > School, show up.

It’s the second week of major exams, which means meeting attendance is cut in half.  For those with nothing better to do on a Wednesday night, CSMAC (CSM Anime Club to the rest of you) is here to reward your slacker ways.  Join me now for a long, long critique of this week’s anime.  Grab a snack.

こんばんわみんなさん(Chaeha already corrected me)！Time for another showing preview.  As always, BE241, 6 PM… be there or you’re not cool.  Because we’re cool people, and  you know you want to hang out with cool people =D.

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!
