Moment the Twelfth: Patronage

By Pontifus on 14 December 2008 | Anime | 5 Comments

Great anime dad, or greatest anime dad?

We will, as you can plainly see, participate in CCY’s Twelve Moments deal for the next twelve days. These will no doubt be less “formal” than our usual fare — assuming that lacing 4chan memes and the f-word throughout “serious” analysis constitutes formality in the first place (I have my doubts) — but for me, emotional response is criticism, too, so it’s all in a day’s work. Or it’s all in twelve days’ work, with a possible super special secret surprise at the end.

Incidentally, my first moment hails from a show that’s actually airing right now. I’m pretty sure it’s the only one that meets that criterion.

Martian love, or lack thereof

My preciousssss!

I’m willing to put my money where my mouth is, however occasionally (give me a break; I’m poor). Aria, of all things, is certainly worth it. And it’s a good thing I bought it, too, since viruses recently ate my Windows, forcing me to do a clean install of the OS, which rendered my CrystalNova-subbed AVIs somewhat nonexistent (and contributed to this post taking so long to write).

But this post isn’t about the tragic nature of somewhere in the ballpark of 200 gigs of music and video slaughtered upon the altar of Windows and Symantec Antivirus’s combined inability to do anything useful. It’s about romance (the lovesome kind) among the central characters of Aria the Animation. “What romance?” you ask, to which I reply, “Exactly.”
