Honey & Clover – 18 Insert Song

Honey & Clover brings us another great song by Suga Shikao. From his Sugarless album, we have Yubikiri (ユビキリ). A nice slow song with an organ (I think) in the background. Today’s episode was great with the return of you-know-who. It will be blogged when Solar or C1 puts out their sub. Until then, I leave you with this image.

Honey & Clover – Ending 2

Honey & Clover ED2: Track 5 – Mistake by THE BAND HAS NO NAME
I’m glad to have finally found this song, considering the single was out last week. It’s a good song, but I feel that it really lacks the punch that Waltz had. I like the full version a bit more than the TV edit, but I’m not a huge fan of the band to begin with (having heard some of their other songs too).

Honey & Clover – 15 Insert Song

I said I wouldn’t try any longer to find these insert songs, but I guess that was a lie. This is a really really good song by Spitz called Yoru wo Kakeru (夜を駆ける) from their 2002 album, 三日月ロック. They even played a good 2 and a half minutes of it on today’s episode. This doesn’t mean I’m blogging H&C today, I’m just a fanatic about music somethings >_<

Ichigo Mashimaro – 01 (or lack thereof)

So, I was going to blog Ichigo Mashimaro, but after watching the first episode, I still can’t get into it (much like I can’t get into the manga). I even capped about 200 shots, but I really don’t feel like blogging this, so I’m tentatively putting this series on hold until I force myself to like the manga or completely ditch it. Sorry for anyone who was looking forward to reading about it. I point you instead to cap-aholic moyism’s post.

Instead, I will be trying my best to do some caps and summary (kind of) of Densha Otoko. Please look forward to that!

Summer 2005 Blogging Revisited

Alright folks, the bulk of the series I’ve been keeping track of for this season have gone through two episodes now, with the exception of Ichigo Mashimaro, which airs tomorrow.
Akahori Gedou Hour Rabuge – I might watch this for a few more episodes, but it’s definately not worth blogging. Verdict: Nixed.
Kamichu! – When I get some time (hopefully soon), I’ll catch up on Kamichu’s subs. Since the subs are coming out by various groups, I’ll stick with those. Verdict: Subbed.
Suzuka – As I said in my post, Lunar is doing this series now, and I expect them to do it relatively quickly. I’ll still watch the raws, but the series officially goes on subbed. Verdict: Subbed.
Everything else I’ll stick with raw.
Oh yea, one more thing: 電車男 (Densha Otoko – Train Man), the TV series, started last week in Japan. If you haven’t heard about it, this is a based-on-true-story tale of an otaku who asks for advice and gets a makeover through the 2chan message boards in order to go out with a beautiful girl. I’m quite interested in the story, so I’ll be watching it, and maybe even blogging it. The movie version too, once I see it.
