Welcome to the NHK!
A few weeks ago I had the chance of watching this nice series; actually, I took a day off to watch from episodes 6 to 24 since I loved the first 5. I honestly have to congratulate Gonzo for making such an awesome series which depicts 2 kinds of people that are part of Japan’s society, hikikomori and otaku (in this case, hardcore anime fans). Welcome to the NHK in a way reminded me of GAINAX’s Otaku no Video, mainly because of the somewhat realistic display of how a hikikomori’s life is and can be.

October 15th, 2007 Gundam, Gundam 00
Once more a Gundam series starts. Thankfully it’s not some sort of lame sequel of SEED nor a kind of remake of an old series. I was pretty excited to watch this series, specially since L’arc~en~Ciel sings the opening (I really like the way Hyde sings) and because it’s aired in HDTV, which means I get to watch it in a really nice quality.

October 11th, 2007 Higurashi no Naku Koroni Kai
Today I watched the first episode of the Matsuribayashi-hen. It was a refreshing change from the massive slaughter at the end of the Minagoroshi-hen, specially the way Takano kills Satoko, even though it’s one of the coolest murders I’ve seen in a fair while. I was shocked when I saw Hanyuu’s face in the opening, it was unexpected, not to mention to find out that Rika was never waving to the spectators at the very end but, to Hanyuu, who seems to be on a human form now, rather than a spirit-like one as we saw previously in the Minagoroshi-hen and the Yakusamashi-hen.

October 11th, 2007 School Days
Yesterday I spent most of the day watching all of School Days and annoying my friends about it, specially about the Nice Boat 4chan meme that was created after everyone heard the bad news about the last episode. Anyway, yesterday was awesome and a living hell at the same time.
Why awesome? I spent most of the day watching an awesome anime series.
Why a living hell? Because I knew from the very start how the series ends and it’s not exactly a happy ending.
