Augh. Obviously, if you bothered paying attention to my efforts to engage in the now-traditional “12 moments” project, you know I failed. Mostly I blame my too-busy semester, during which I watched almost no anime. As my professor (who sometimes reads my blogs — hello, if you’re reading this one!) said, it was indeed true [...]

Multimedia adaptation and the act of consumption: an outline
Like Cuchlann, I find myself mired in schoolwork and related things. It’s Thanksgiving break, yes, but it’s still difficult to blog when I know I should be writing an essay about Darwinian rhetoric in Hardboiled Wonderland and the End of the World, or researching transversal poetics and presentism.

Anyhow, this time I’m doing an essay called “Coming to Terms” by Gary K. Wolfe. It’s short, so hopefully I can get this entry done before the scourging weather [...]

“By silverfish imperatrix whose incorrupted eye…”
If you’re following at home, you’ll already know that I started Aria: the Animation. And I just finished it. I know there’s a bunch more of it, but I dunno when I’ll finish it — if I learned one thing (and I’d like to think I learned several, but still), it’s that I can’t really [...]

…and that’s SF?
I’ve recently been badgering nearly everyone I know with this quandary I’ve landed myself in: how does science fiction work, and what does that mean for my study of anime? (go all the way to the end, it has a happy conclusion)
