So I’ve decided to change some things around here, because I’m really inconsistent and there’s long periods of time where I don’t write anything. So I was either left with the choice to either write some crap just to fill in space, or to do some thinking and plan this out.
I went with the plan, because I prefer quality in terms of what I want to output.
So now my blog has an actual schedule to it, hurray!
Day 13 of each month will have reviews/thought pieces for games and my Let’s Talk About that covers anime, series, manga, celebrities.
Back in February I was trying to do daily postings, which is crazy but I was fired and quickly ran out of things to review or say what I think, so this helps with that 😉
I actually got inspired yesterday and wrote some 10 posts after knowing I had posts till November. So turns out pressure really freezes me, but having leeway I got inspired. Figures 😂
I’ve also decided to start a new segment called Let’s Rant so that if I ever have to rant on something, it’ll be on day 1 of each month. Do not expect many of those posts. I’m not prone to ranting, though I am prone to short bitchings, it never translates to proper rants 😁
Next, in an effort to give myself to be known by y’all, I decided to start a new segment called Get to Know Me, where I do posts like anime challenge, but just in one post. There’s no way I’d do 30 days of anime/individual posts, ty but no ty 😂 The Get to Know Me will be on day 26 of each month.
Mind you both those Let’s Rant and Get to Know Me are not permanent, it’s just if I happen to do them, that’s when they’ll appear.
Because I felt like talking about manga and anime, and been some people, I decided to group all those under Let’s Talk About. Expect a lot of posts for that on day 13 in the next months.
So these are the posts you can expect in the next month’s to the next year, so far that I’ve scheduled in no particular order:
Higurashi
Umineko
Escaflowne
Shin Sekai Yori
After School Nightmare
Alive The Final Evolution
Please Save My Earth
Goodnight PunPun
Maaya Sakamoto
Tales of Link
Ghost Trick
Truthfully I haven’t been feeling like gaming, but if I do finish the games I’ve started, I’ll bump them earlier if they were the ones I used to help learn more Japanese. Otherwise, I’ll just schedule them to the end of the pile.
I hope it sounds like good content will be coming out for this blog, some I’ve wanted to write and tell about for a really long time but never knew what to say or how. I can’t promise they’ll be good posts. My posts diverge wildly in lengths and quality, I know this, but I hope you’ll still like them. If it inspires even just a tiny bit to try them out, then I’ll have achieved my goal! ( ´ ▽ ` )ノ
Loving this schedule and OMG ESCAFLOWNE!!! I wish I could find another fantasy romance anime like this. At least we’re FINALLY getting a blu ray. If u ever get the chance, I HIGHLY recommend Wolf’s Rain, another classic.

Thank you bb! ❤
Yaaas, Escaflowne fans unite! I so fucking love it to pieces 😭
Hitomi and Van are my OTP forever ಥ⌣ಥ
I need to watch Wolf's Rain then! :0
Glorious HQ and clean bluray, yes! I've some glorious fanart thanks to that being announced, and drooled all over Van's amazing muscles. He's ripped as fuck hot damn (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
The struggle is real, I haven't found a romance with fantasy anime as good as Escaflowne. That show did it so on point, it's lit ( ˘ ³˘)❤

Van is soooooo damn fine omgakdlfjakga
Right? I watched it a few years later to see if I was just into crap anime lol cuz I had no idea what was “good” at the time but omg it’s still really damn good
And yes, please watch WR. Bandai shut down so u can’t buy it but the whole series is on Youtube in English and this is one of the very few series that I SINCERELY rec the english dub. It’s djust that good.

Van is goals worthy /fans self
I definitely know what you mean about that! I watched it when I was younger and it sparked my big love for Maaya Sakamoto and Yoko Kanno, so I threaded carefully when I rewatched it and loved it even more. It’s just so damn refreshing, and so good. That plot, those twists, those characters, that growth, that amazing OST, /pants
Oh no! That reminds me of Tokyopop and their unfinished series ;_;
I’ll definitely bump WR, I’ve just been watching sports anime and some comedy shows, Nozaki-kun, Haganai, Devil is a part timer, so I’ll have to steel myself for feels 😅
I’ve heard good things about the dub and the original cast ahh. I doubt I can do what I did with Howl’s Moving Castle, watched both one after the another (though in my case it was the Portuguese dub because it was one of the phew localised things I actually found 😅 ).
I’m not sure I’m ready for intense feels ;_;

When I get obsessive over something I tend to do that. The book I reread some 10 times by now, because some I did in Portuguese and the others in English 😂
I’mma believe you and bump it up, that and a lot of other shows I haven’t seen because they sound heavy in content, so might as well go down in a feels turmoil 😁
Oooh! High praise, indeed. I get what you mean, there aren’t many shows as well executed as Escaflowne, which is a pity!
One of my goals in learning Japanese is to play the Escaflowne game for PS1, I want it so bad! 😭

I am not ashamed of saying I rewatched the movie some 20 times for that hunk of a dude, nowadays Iptheres gifs/short clips, but back then I could only rewind the DVD but that was troublesome, so I’d rewatch from the beginning and just fast forward to the juicy scenes with him 😂
/coughs I read the book because of the movie, so that’s how intense I got about it, because back then I didn’t much read 😁
You and me need to play them! I’m slobbering just thinking about it. Even if there’s no dating-sim (no idea, no info about the motherfucking game, we suffer as fans 😭 ) I want to just relive it in a new way ;_;

It’s fitting I entered the book world mostly because hot boys like Darcy, ditto for games 😂
I’ve never seen or read North and South, though I’ve heard good things about it!
I haven’t seen the BBC version of P&P because it’s so long 😅
YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I DISCOVERED, SOMEONE ACTUALLY PLAYED ESCAFLOWNE ON YOUTUBE AND TRANSLATED IT A BIT!!!!

Though it her recording seems to have a lot of problems, with unvoiced/skipped lines.
You’re awesome too! (≧∇≦)/
