Hi Edina! I see well at least it will be a bit of a breather for both of us :) Yes, I finished Nine. It was good and quite entertaining. Maybe in later part of December I might watch some anine but not now, don;t have much time. Not sure what I will watch now. How are your dramas going?

Try using export feature, blogger should have one. :)

Hi! Haha, thanks. The picture is clearly calling you to watch "monster" :P It's a picture from the anime series. :D

Yes, I finished it. Not as interesting as Stein;s Gate but pretty good actually, it was a mox of melodrama, time travel and romcom and quite well-done. Right, I think I know the follow mood thing too. I feel like [laying but I don;t know what and I can;t anyway...I'm too busy. I hope you're having a nice day.

Hi! :D The avatar is from an anime series :P I'm glad you're done with the test, take a moment to relax and just enjoy a moment of peace. I can't relax until this weekend just yet.

Ohh I love Terra E. Such a powerful story. I also liked Bokurano though there was something missing...but I really grew fond of the kids. I am yet to find the time to watch Legend of the Galactic Heroes. Have you watched Monster adapted from the manga by Urusawa Naoki? I"m a pick and choose anime watcher with no clear genre preference- I look for good stories. Like in rpgs too. No matter what rpgs have to have a good story going. To The Moon is the latest title which I consider to be a great story. The renewed popularity of Rpg maker nowadays seems to be promoting mediocrity unfortunately. So it gets difficult to find a decent rpg. Indie adventure games like Aquaria are also great. And then there are otome-leaning games (mixed genres)...but these have to have good mechanics in order to be immersive. Most of them aren't. But there are a few gems floating around.

Hi there. You say you like video games and anime. So I"m curious about your favourites in both? What sort of games and anime do you like?

Hiya! I think it's Monster appreciation month in December! It's the anniversay or the serialisation of the manga (Dec 1994- Dec 2001) :D How;s it going? Are you unstuck on your games?

It's "Monster" appreciation month in december! It;s the anniversay of Manga serialisation. :D

Maybe you should try switching to wordpress. Although I like your new theme. Glad to see you liked Shut up Flower Boy Band; it's strong on bromance and I liked how it showed something ekse than pop group of pretty boys. Also, Keep up your energy, your posts are quite refreshing to look at because they tend to be so upbeat :)

King2Hearts was co-written with her sister. plus I heard the first part of this show was pretty good up to a point. Plus, King2Hearts was also rather poorly received at first and not everyone liked it. Writing is not so easy, especially under pressure. Or maybe romcom isn't her thing but she wanted to try anyway. It's all a matter of perspective.

Sounds good :) Hope you;re enjoying them. Yeah, I will be free on December 19th, it's when I take a holiday leave untl January.

Hi Edina. Aww, I see, Well that wilkl give you time toc atch up on completed things you may not have had the time to watch so far. How is your anime? Speaking of anime, have you watched kamisama specials? I'm okay, trying to work but MDL keeps me distracted, so I"m half-working, half-browisng MDL.

haha no need to apologise :) Hope you will like it :)

Heh, thanks. I was already in the process of starting it but am processing th story at the moment a little. I'm not too happy with my past reviews, they are a little too emotionally attached to the drama sometimes. I'm spreading this drama further. It's a very good story to watch and it will have many more fans soon I"m sure so someone eventually will write a better review.

Hi. Yes but I said screw it and took a break. I am before a break now anyway so I am taking a bit of time to relax more. I already watched MAster's Sun. What can you expect from Hong sisters? They're lazy storytellers. Hardly ever there is any character development. I see. Suzy isn;t a very good actress at all so I'd be hesitatnt to watch her in anything....I also watched Nine Times Trime Travel which was good and HanawaNaoki which was great and most recently a drama called Chase with excellent performance by Arata. As for name change I felt BladeySteeleye was pretentious and no longer adewuately reflects who I want to be in a sense. I"m still looking for a fitting user name but settled on this for the moment. Somehow there more I am at MDL the more I want to have a username I feel well with.

:D The thing with makjangs is there are bound to be side characters I may like so I don;t feel like totally abandong them, even if afterwards I just keep raging at them lol. Romcoms are differen still especially Korean ones, they are the most artificial and underdeveloped of all the romcoms of any country, that's why they make a band name for the genre, imho. Well then I will have to watch both then, when in the mood. I did see you have some problems with the length of eps in 1994, are they really draggy?

Nine was ismply more boring than Stein;s Gate bit I did feel the writer knew what they were doing so all in all I enjoyed it. I PARTICULARLY enjoyed the ending!!! :D I can tolerate majans but my reviews of makjangs end up badly lol. See my comments for may queen for instance. I don;t know why I still watch them. Chase is not so much a detective drama, it's an investigation-buisness drama. It made think of Hanzawa a little bit (only a little!) in the sense there is an investigation of some suspicious practices. This time it's tax evasion. But here it;s not the main character, Eguchi who is interesting but Arata, the antagonist. Arata plays the more interesting character in this drama and he's just great! The pacing is fast and some great atmpspheric shots as well. Haven't watched Reply 1997 but I'm told I can forget 1997 and jum right into 1994 :P

I am about to complete it. I have to say I find the drama quite meaty and I wasn't sure I would like it. But it is a really good story. Arata's really something. He's a very well-constructed character not a mere antagonist but a well fleshed out character and very human. In fact, I'd say Eguchi pales in comparison to him since Eguchi;s character is less complex, though his presence is strong enough to balance out Arata's amazingly acted out character. The drama is pretty good at building ambience too; there are some really "atmospheric" shots in there. I found it be unexpectedly to my taste in terms of characters, build up, pace and subject. THe ending is a bit abrupt though, but I guess there's not much else left to see.

Hi Cheerful :) On the contrary, I quite liked Nine. But there was a time travel anime that did this better- Steins; Gate. However, in contrast to most time travels, Nine was more interesting. I thought the writer has a pretty good command over the story and thought it through. I think I want to watch Scandal. But for the moment I am watching a very interedsting bvuisness-investigative drama with Arata called chase, pretty meaty stuff. I do want to watch Reply 1994 as well but I want to marathon it so I'll wait. I saw that you seem to be enjoying it.
