Six Quick Thoughts about Love Live, Episode 4

Posted by DiGiKerot in Love Live! at January 29, 2013 on 10:00 pm


What is it with anime and Alapacas anyway? It seems like the kind of thing someone should set up a wiki for. Either that, or that My Girlfriend is an Alapaca that came out recently is making me think that it’s more common than it actually is.

Anyway, this week on Love Live:

Because I’ve not done one of these for a while – infact, I seem to have forgotten to click the “publish” version on the last one of these posts – and I figure I should at least strive to maintain a two-post-a-week minimum. Not that I really have much to discuss to pad out a full one of these posts with.

Because clearly they’d have to be to enjoy thi… nah, just kidding.

In lieu of anything of particular substance to post about recently, I suppose I may as well stick to posting about the show for now, though there’s increasingly few things to talk about on a weekly basis without repeating myself to an excessive extent.

Mikan Watch #77: Little Busters!

Posted by DiGiKerot in Mikan Watch at January 22, 2013 on 10:36 pm


From episode 15 of Little Busters, though I gather it frequently appears as a makeshift table in prior episodes. I think the fact that the show has been airing for over three months now and the first that I’d actually heard about it was when I spotted it in a random picture in my Twitter feed this morning probably speaks volume about this show. Well, at least speaks volumes about how few damns people give about it.

The show did just get picked up on Crunchyroll, who’ve decided to start at the half-way point and run catch-up on the earlier episodes at a later date. Arguments about rewarding piracy and penalizing the law-abiding aside, I would like to praise it as being a rare example of realistic thinking within this industry – as far as these things go, the people who’d be willing to start the show at the beginning at this point will still likely be willing to do so some weeks or months from now, but those who’re watching the show in “realtime”… not so much. In a world where things don’t magically translate themselves, it’s the logical move if you want people to actually watch your stream instead of choosing alternative methods.

But… yeah, no-one seems to particularly give a damn about Little Busters anyway. At least the OP and ED are catchy, I guess.


Mikan Watch #76: Yurumates 3Dei

Because clearly the thing to be doing when people are making fun of (an admittedly entirely dumb) feature on the internet is to go at it with renewed aplomb.

Saying that, I actually uploaded this image six months ago and promptly forgot about it, meaning that I’ve absolutely no idea what I was going to write about Yurunmates at this point. Ho-hum.
