After starting my so-called holiday film festival or my “I’m not in the mood to marathon anything long so I’m just watching movies” laziness on a depressing note with Grave of the Fireflies, I continue with something more cheerful. I randomly choose I Can Hear The Ocean based on the cover alone -
Because two people in school uniforms can’t that bad.
Note: contains spoilers in happy bliss

Grave of the Fireflies is one of those movies I can watch only once in this lifetime. This movie manages to dethrone Angela’s Ashes (not an anime) as one of the most depressing movies I’ve ever seen.
Note: Will contain spoilers in a fit of raeg.

Princess Tutu is probably the gayest title for a show ever. Even my gay friends think so. It’s not exactly the kind of title that demands respect and say SRS BSNS.

The winter season looks bleak.
A lot of them good look on paper, but I’m not too excited for any of them. I’ll check out Dance in the Vampire Bund, but only sure thing for me this season is Nodame Cantabile Finale. Durarara!! seems to be very popular with everyone because it was created by the same guy who created Baccano! Just because Baccano!’s reputed to be good doesn’t mean Durarara!! will be too. I still have my hopes on it though. Other than that, everything else seem to be nothing new.
With potentially only 120 minutes a week to devote to anime, including Cross Game and Fullmetal Alchemist, this seems like the perfect season to catch up and re-watch some old shows I dropped/missed. I’ve gotten so many recommendations that I want to get to them already. I already have several of them ready for viewing. I just need to finish all this Christmas nonsense over and done with. Hopefully, this will prove to be more fruitful than struggling to like a show even if I’m only half-heartedly interested in it.

Since it’s December, a lot of bloggers have been writing their 2009 posts and I’m at a loss. I automatically count myself out for being inactive majority of the year. A specific post made by digitalboy about his Forty Fandoms made me realize that I do not belong in any fandom. I’m not so into seiyuus. The farthest I go with music are anime OSTs. I don’t ship a studio. I follow a specific author’s work.
I am but a mere viewer who watches anime every season until the end and may not think of that show ever again. I’m not even inspired to learn the Japanese language.
