I really like show intros. I really do. It probably comes from my time staring, wide-eyed (and, in this utopian past we’re constructing in swift, broad strokes here, undoubtedly optimistic and with no concerns for the future… uh… well, shit.) at all the 80s intros I love so well when I was a child. Sometimes [...]

Moment the Sixth: Burn A
I’m sick now, as far as I can tell. Normally I wouldn’t throw that little factoid in here, since this isn’t a personal blog, but I think it’s funny that Cuchlann and I both came home from college and got sick at roughly the same time. I’m a few days behind him, actually, so you [...]

brief thoughts on social commentary
[Post by Lelangir] ←[94] Basically… So when an author deliberately pens a text as social commentary, it is directed towards society, the mainstream. That’s subversive, counter-hegemonic, whatever you want to call it, since it steps outside the dominant discourse (which I tried to represent with the spray paint tool). The hegemonic text is one that [...]

Twelve Moments 6 — Fate of a God
Or, at least, one who is god-like. Pontifus had more sense than me, and spread his Aria posts throughout his twelve days. I am now giving up entirely on a vertical scale here and just posting things; hopefully there will be enough gaps between my Gurren Lagann posts to keep them interesting.

Moment the Seventh: Just how aggressive can he be?
I’m getting my Genshiken images from One Manga, but only because I can’t find my scanner. I do own it all, and it’s good enough that I suggest you buy it rather than read it on the internet. With that out of the way, I suppose this isn’t an anime moment, per se — but [...]

Moment the Eighth: I close my eyes, and…wait, haven’t I said that already?
I’m late, it seems. But I’ve been busy; I had to drive home from college, and, since I’m graduating (or, I have graduated…I’m not sure on the time frame), I had to pack all my worldly possessions and haul them all back with me. Rest assured that, as soon as this (brief) post is finished, [...]
