Kurogane’s Anime Blog

I was quite pissed off trying to configure my damn modem to portforward Bitcomet when i saw ANN had a nice feature about the Fall Season, which to me is damn accurate at some points.

Their Cluster Edge opinion was spot-on XD,

If Gundam Wing was a little too heterosexual for you, then Cluster Edge is going to be a home run. The two shows were directed by the same guy, so when you realize that the entire cast is composed of bishonen that barely resemble men, the plot is chock-full of totally convoluted political stuff that makes very little sense and there’s a whole bunch of over-the-top homoeroticism, you shouldn’t be surprised.

which pretty much sums up what I felt about it.

Ginga Densetsu WEED had it even worse,

This is a show about talking dogs.

Seriously.

Japan is officially out of ideas.

yep, so true.

Well, ok, i’m just too darned bored. My torrents are running at 10kb/s COMBINED and I’m desperate for Rozen Maiden ~traumend~. orz.

Oh and it seems that a Trigun movie is in the works. Check ANN.

Heh, dunno why, but recently I’m suffering from a serious lack of energy. I soooo wanna sleep, dunno why. I can sleep for 5-6 hours in the evening and then sleep another 6-7 hours at night. Feels like all my energy got sucked away… maybe i’ve become a Torch and I’m now typing out my last words , XD.

Meanwhile, I’m trying to edit the CSS and make my formatting nicer. I’ve discovered my lists look really bad :P. I also dabbled in Photoshop a bit, but couldn’t make much sense of it yet.

I guess my condition stems from my enviroment now. I have a serious incompatitability with my family members, something on the lines of trying to operate Windows on a Mac.I crave my freedom … _|-|o.

Well, I will still be blogging, but maybe without such intensity as before. Well, as a little treat to those who’ve linked me and visited me, here’s a short comic for IchiMashi and Yotsubato fans and a little promo pic of the upcoming Rozen Maiden ~traumend~.

P.S. : My country’s PM, YAB Datuk Seri Abdullah Badawi, affectionally known as Pak Lah, has just lost his wife Datin Seri Endon Mahmood to breast cancer. My sincere condolences to him and his family. May her soul rest in peace.

Summary

Shana contemplates on Yuuji’s strange behavior for a Torch, wondering if it’s because he’s a Mystis. Alastor comments that the real problem is the Tomogara after him now, while Yuuji is reminiscing about Yukari’s disappearance.

Got this off friendster. Haven’t seen much originality in quite a while. Well maybe because I haven’t seen enough of the Net yet, haha.

So let’s go read some humour from a genius 1st grader?

Irrashaiimasen!!! Courtesy of Maestro, who offered me hosting at Animeblogger, my new blog is now reborn, from the muck that was Blogger :P.

Well, a little self-introduction is in order. I’m Kurogane, 17 years old, student in MMU Melaka, doing a course in Foundation in Information Technology. Interests… well, pretty obvious,isn’t it…

Current moé fetishes include loli vampires, swordgirls, stoic blue-haired girls and scythe/polearm users (Shizuru-sama!!!).

For now, I’ll be importing my posts for the new season to this blog. Previous posts(yeah, like anyone’s gonna read them) will still be archived at Kuro’s Little Blog.

Summary

Mikoto (I still cannot believe that she’s a neko!!) appears and Mashiro’s identity is revealed. Arika then asks Natsuki to let her into Garderobe.
