Shippuden 158

i don't like pop-up ads and surveys. who does? AnimeLime must be getting big enough to need the revenue, as they have them now. i suppose it's a necessary kind of evil, but i'll go elsewhere for my anime streams if i can from now on.

the whole media/revenue/internet situation is quite fascinating.

my favorite character, tsunade, had a kick-ass scene today!











and next week - Kakashi vs. Pain!

Kyōto

K-On!! episode 4 is a field trip to Kyoto!

 The attention to detail is so lovely, and this episode brought back a lot of memories of visiting there (ten years ago, wow).
The girls play a little game, trying to speak in the local dialect. I remember sitting in a small restaurant with my mom, in Kyoto, while she pointed out how the waitress spoke like that.


highly recommend watching this episode...

coming up close

(and these are the lyrics to the song?)

Āmusutorongu!

Today's Brotherhood episode (54) was good. Lots going on, but I especially like the Armstrong siblings.

Orivie (Olivier) and Arekkusu (Alex) Armstrong are both badasses, and fun to watch in action together. I love how Alex sparkles.

Gitaa!

Li and I are into the anime K-On!

sweet, cute and "slice of life". no ninjas or battles.

it's about a high school "light music" club.

the second season started today in japan.

they call their band "After School Tea Time", spending much of their practice time having delicious snacks and tea. we're learning the many uses of the japanese particle "ne" as it is all girls.

li asked me who my favorite character is, and i'm liking "gitaa". which is the name yui gives to her guitar. gitaa is a cherry sunburst gibson les paul standard!

their signature song is "Fuwa Fuwa Time" (Light & Fluffy Time). Kawaii-ne!?

here's "My Love is a Stapler"...

Hear My Prayer

B gave this to me yesterday, she found it while picking up other post-easter treats. dr. catfish was here when i received this blessing, so we had a nice discussion about other potential markets for this chocolate double crisp candy... perhaps euchacrisp? a new way to experience transubstantiation.

Palmer also has crosses (plain and decorated). There is a recent and insightful review of this candy by The Chocolate Cult, and thanks to the chocolate priestess i don't have to open it now!

this reminded me of one of my favorite religious websites, Ship of Fools. always love the latest Gadgets for God.

MOON8!

it's a faithful floyd cover, but sounding like fever/chill from dr. mario, or zelda.
