Umineko no Naku Koro ni – 08

The servants discover and show Rosa the locked Chapel. On the doors, drawn in what appears to be blood is a pentacle symbol and writing spelling out ‘Happy Halloween for Maria’. Rosa finds the key in the letter Maria received earlier and opens the chapel doors only to stumble upon the corpses of her siblings, their stomachs gutted and filled with candy. The first twilight has begun.

Catching up, and Life

So basically, I have been bogged down with things I have to be doing rather then commenting and catching up with all the anime in my downloaded folder. While I have been able to watch a lot of it, blogging about it is a different story, it is time consuming at the moment and it will get easier soon with my exam(s) creeping up and soon to be going away.

The reason I haven’t done much in the past month is because the entire 2-3 weeks leading up until now have been Assignment and Study times for University. Things that I have done are adding in a MAL RSS feed in the sidebar. You can see what I’ve been watching ^_^ and also what I haven’t.

You can see from what I watch that I’m willing to give pretty much anything a go and I will enjoy most things from the beginning, but half the time I lose interest and end up forgetting all about it. It’s really shows that I look forward to and have staying power that I enjoy immensely, if they have both of those I end up watching it till the end, and actually wait patiently for subtitles to emerge.

Umineko is up to episode 20 this week, Letter Bee should be episode 5 or 6, and I was going to do a post on Shakugan no Shana S OVA aswell. I’ll do them as soon as possible. Going to have to go on a blogging binge to catch up with Umineko though XD

 

Letter Bee – 01

Set in the world of Amberground where there is neverending twilight, Gauche Suede discovers the letter he was sent for is this abandoned boy, passed out and chained to a post. The boy’s name is Lag Seeing, as indicated by the postage sticker on his arm and Gauche explains his role as a Letter Bee to deliver said letters to their senders destination of choosing.

Umineko no Naku Koro ni – 07

On their way to the gathering, Rosa loses her temper at Maria’s passion for Halloween aswell as accepting candy from strangers, and turns to abuse. It is just before the family members arrive and the current residents of Rokkenjima prepare for the arrival of guests. While waiting for their boat, George practices his proposal and Maria shares some of her Halloween spirit with Battler. Kumasawa explains to Jessica some of the folklore/legend about the witch, Beatrice while being very gloomy and ominous.

Anime Season Preview (Fall 2009)

Yeah… I’m late to the party; I know. It’s only half way into the first episodes of the Season and it’s not a great lineup, there’s actually not much I’m really that interested in watching besides a very select few that I am hesitant about. As far as this season is concerned, it is lackluster in comparison to last Fall Season where some titles became huge hits, like Toradora, Kuro Shitsuji and Clannad: After Story to name a few.

This season doesn’t have a vast selection of promising shows but I’ve got my eye on a few in particular; especially Kobato, Fairy Tail and Seitokai no Ichizon. However Trapeze and Letter Bee look very interesting aswell. I’ll just have to wait and see.

Umineko no Naku Koro ni – 06

Umineko no Naku Koro ni – 05

Maria exclaims that Beatrice told her to face the wall and sing a song, that the eighth Twilight is over and Beatrice will revive.

Unexpected Treasures

Well I went downstairs yesterday and spotted two fairly large boxes, a grin was all I could manage… Although, a Maria cackle would have been appropriate. I was expecting things to be delivered on the monday through EMS shipping (I had been tracking it anxiously). But I ended up getting a lot more quicker then expected…

Umineko no Naku Koro ni – 04
