How should I put this… All my friends know when I’m bored, I do stupid things or mindless things to keep myself entertained. In result, that’s how that yaoi comic came to be. Now, I made another… I suppose I can say, abomination on yamibo… but worry no more! I got a summer job to solve my boredom. Still, I feel like it would be a huge waste if I didn’t ended up posting this. So, here it is, in english, a reiari comic.

This is true. Sitting on my desk right now is a brand new sketchbook I brought a month ago. On the first page there is a drawing of the borders team. In the past I probably would have finish it in a day or two however… now it feels so difficult to complete. I’ve been heavily addicted to “complete the sketching” rather than “complete the drawing”. I really feel from time to time just plan sketches with loose line is enough to get out what i want and post them on the blog. But I am afraid to post too much of them on the blog since this might happen to you when you look at them: “i can’t figure it out even though i have been staring at it” (Ensei). Since I don’t have the scan of it, I’ll give you another example of what I mean. This is another borders team sketch on a touhou paintbbs.

The past week or so I have been drowning myself in my newly bought CSI (as in the original; not NY…and god forbid, Miami) dvds. Even though it was only three seasons, it still was a lot to watch and I enjoy every single bits of it (duster: …I want to watch it with you TAT).
Now I got that out of my system, I did watch the two new summer anime (well ok, there are more, but from my list, only two were aired at the moment), Bakemonogatari and CANAAN. Both were visually stunning as well as having a compelling story, but because I’m not fond of the director for Bakemonogatari, CANAAN wins this round for being my summer favorite. If anyone got time, check both anime out, they are quite unique in their own ways which is also the reason why I randomly doodled in pchat…again.
(edit: “yeah… i can only think of her(another girl from CANAAN)in the pic…” -duster)

It has been awhile when I have nothing to do during summer break…as in no going to china, no internship, no summer job (yet) etc etc. So I have been doing nothing but drawing, which I really think it needs to stop since I feel like it’s waste of time (I guess when I’m not busy, I’m not sure what I should do). So again with drawing in pchat, only this time is an actual person. Well, the problem is that I still can’t paint people (good job, me), so this didn’t ended up look like the original person. So, if you actually guessed who this is, you are awesome, because I couldn’t even tell who it is and I was the one who drew it.

Just finish watching the last episode of K-ON! thought I should at least give a quick review… I think this review is going to be much shorter than the last one, because of how much I hated half of the episodes aired after episode eight. Here is the thing, I understand there are drama in life, but forcing drama in life is just too much and unnecessary. K-ON! fall into that category in few of the episodes, which bothers me greatly since this isn’t Clannad.
Let’s start with the opening. The opening was purposely done to where all the characters are nicely framed on screen. Why forcefully shove Azusa in there with the crew? Now everyone is just cramp together and or blocking each other. Good thing they never mess with the ending, or else it will destroy the whole show. If that were to happen, I held Yoshida Reiko (吉田玲子) to be responsible. Ever since her dreadful screenplay for episode two, she never bother to climb back up. Episode nine and eleven almost killed me. What’s with the drama of Azusa of not understanding the Light Music Club? Not to mention the yuri vibe of Mio and Ritsu in episode eleven. Ritsu was so out of character, almost feel like you are watching a horrible fanfiction come to life. Nonetheless, Muramoto Katsuhiko(村元克彦) and Hanada Jukki(花田十輝) had came and save the day! Muramoto handled the second beach episode, which I thought it was not badly done. The episode show the details of what we didn’t see the girls did in their first beach house, like what they cooked and ate. Then the small detail of where Mio found out her hands are bigger than everyone else, etc etc. It was not as fun to watch as the first beach episode but it was whole lot better than whatever episode nine and eleven was showing. Then finally, today’s last episode was done by Hanada, and frankly speaking, he saved K-ON! Everything I love about K-ON! was in this episode. The feel, the framing, the music, everything.
Dear god, KyotoAnimation if you ever make a second season of K-ON! let Hanada and Muramoto be the screenwriter. I cannot handle Yoshida doing a 4koma anime. Maybe a drama, but comedy just doesn’t seem to suit her. Over all the show was not bad but not great either. Just wish they chose a better lead screenwriter. I would still recommend this to people who likes comedy.
