For an action series, Canaan is so unexciting–where’s the adrenaline?

It’s Anime Watching, Fast Foward Edition
Because as much as I love anime, I can’t honestly be expected to watch every damn thing that comes out. This is especially true when they’re not just shounen but blatantly for little kids.

Opinions on Moe: A response to Akamatsu Ken
I came across this post, which translated the thoughts of Akamatsu, the mangaka of Negima, regarding moe. I’ll just address bits and pieces that stood out to me.
Why haven’t you seen Mōryō no Hako yet?
Moryo no Hako is actually a winter anime (the last episode aired on the 30th of last December), but it remains unfinished by fansubbers and that’s a damn shame (cause we really need like NINE different groups subbing Haruhi). I’m writing this entry to urge you to give Moryo a shot because it’s an absolute gem.

Really… again lots of long shots, shots that don’t show details, random quick cuts, long winded discussions, “Artistic” moments… Let’s see how many eps before it becomes too painful to watch.
Either people are afraid of change or this just reflects the current anti-intellectualism in the world nowadays. I love the word artistic in quotes, implying that Shaft is either trying to be elitist or pretentious (or both). Let’s just have the same old shit stories drawn in the same old shit ways because I can’t handle all this weird cuts and stuff! String along some retarded romance subplot for fangirls and call it a day huh?
