Area 88

Posted on July 6th, 2008 in Thoughts, anime by foehammer

This is a great show that I just watched. It is the best short anime (at 12 episodes) that I have encountered and it is as good or better than most  26 episode shows I’ve seen.  It is a story that takes place almost entirely at a fighter plane base that is involved in an unnamed war. It mostly focuses on the experiences of one of the pilots and a journalist that comes to the base.  It’s a really exciting show that  has amazingly done fight and flight sequences. It also has awesome suspense that continues all the way into the final episode. Another high point of this anime is that it has  an  ending that, at least for me, actually served to finish off the series.

Does anyone else have trouble resisting these? I always try to wait for the subs to come out, but if I come across the raw sometimes the temptation is to much. After I finish I always immediately regret it because even if I understand all of the events of the episode,  it’s extremely hard for me to understand all of the details like how the characters feel about those events and there reactions without the real meanings of their words. I tend to think that I can understand a little bit of Japanese, but when I compare what I thought was happening in the episode to what the subs reveal, I’ve usually made at least one huge misinterpretation of what the characters are saying. I was also wondering if anyone with no real knowledge of how to speak Japanese, like me, comes to the same conclusion that because they can listen to the spoken Japanese and sort of match it up with the subs that they can understand Japanese.

This is a great show, probably the best Gundam series yet. I highly recommend it.

Has anyone else read this awesome book by Stephenie Meyer. It is a really good book with romance and vampires. The second and third books are also pretty good and the fourth and final book is coming out August 2. I can’t wait.

The convenience of these is amazing, and I have one, but it doesn’t work well anymore and I’ve only had it since Christmas. It pretends like it is going to work when I plug it into my laptop, but I can never seem to get through one episode before it stops working. The one that I have is a FreeAgent from Seagate. If anyone has one that they would recommend, I would love to know the name of it.

Still sick

I have almost no improvement from yesterday. Being sick is the worst.

The Wallflower

I’m watching this anime right now. It’s really good. Basically four beautiful boys try to make a reluctant, really scary girl into a lady in order to get free rent from their landlady. It sounds kind of stupid, but it’s actually a pretty good show.

Sick

I got sick today, so I missed my first day of school in a year. That sucks but also I have a horrible headache and I’ve been sleeping up until 4:00.
