		<title>So, as I pray&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was looking forward to this route because I&#8217;d get to find out just what the hell this Unlimited Blade Works thing was all about. Like I mentioned before, I&#8217;ve been constantly reading all of this stuff about how UBW and HF are where it&#8217;s at, so I was very, very eager to finally experience [...]]]></description>

		<title>With Glowing Hearts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Let&#8217;s talk about Canada. My macroeconomics prof said that the defining trait of Canadians is that they&#8217;re boring. This is what separates us from the Americans. This is what kept us relatively safe during the global economic crisis. This is why we&#8217;re so nice.
So you may have noticed that there are a bunch of people [...]]]></description>

		<title>Some scanlators are dumb</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s probably God&#8217;s way of punishing me for reading stupid shoujo manga, but I&#8217;ve found that the groups who translate these series often do retarded crap that impedes my ability to read these jpegs that they upload. Groups who scanlate shounen and seinen series don&#8217;t tend to do this crap, but if they do, there&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>When the seagulls cry&#8230; (IV)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It turns out I couldn&#8217;t deny the witch anymore.
I&#8217;d been fairly charitable throughout most of the anime&#8217;s run. I mean, there&#8217;s absolutely no way that any studio can adapt Umineko and have everyone be satisfied with the result. It just isn&#8217;t possible. So I was willing to give Deen a little slack. Okay, so it [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Word became flesh: Urbana 09</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I pretty much spent half of my break at Urbana 09 instead of playing through Umineko no Naku Koro ni Chiru Episode 5. On the bus ride there, I did manage to get through Bungaku Shoujo and that will be the extent of my animu-related consumption while I was there. More on both of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kara no Kyoukai 7: Murder Speculation (Second Half)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, it&#8217;s over.
It goes without saying that the production is still spot on and beautiful. Even better is the fact that Seventh Heaven is essentially the vocal version of the main motif that you hear when Shiki goes into fight mode.
This chapter was a really fitting end for the entire series. We finally get our [...]]]></description>

		<title>Summer Wars</title>
		<description><![CDATA[is amazing.
Summer Wars was on my list of things to look out for. The first promo pictures were intriguing, with Natsuki standing in front of her family. And then the first trailers came out and that shot my anticipation up by about 2000%. In hit theatres in August and sadly, there still hasn&#8217;t been any [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fate</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I guess I should do what the cool kids are doing and break it down by route. I guess it&#8217;d be easier that way too, especially now that my plans to go through HF have been pushed back.
So obviously, with so many people talking about Fs/n and so many opinions about it, it was hard [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cencoroll</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not entirely sure what to say about Cencoroll, but it&#8217;s the sort of thing that makes you feel like you should give it a mention. It&#8217;s certainly impressive that most of the work that made this happen was put in by one guy. Most of my preconceptions of the movie were from the related [...]]]></description>

		<title>Count von Count vs. Cantor</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A combination of an incidental argument over whether the cast of Sesame Street or the Muppet Show would win in a fight and reading about Internet crazy people refusing to believe the uncountability of the real numbers lead to this. I hope you like math.
So we know that Count von Count (colloquially known as The [...]]]></description>

		<title>Finale: GA Geijutsuka Art Design Class</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So while I am waiting for stuff to cook, it&#8217;s time to do something I haven&#8217;t had the chance to do and hammer out a post. This way I can keep up my monthly posting schedule in between hammering out Galois theory problems.
I remember looking at the season chart for GA and going MORE LIKE [...]]]></description>

		<title>When the seagulls cry&#8230; (III)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;there is one survivor.
Bet you didn&#8217;t see that one coming.
So if it wasn&#8217;t clear enough from EP2, EP3 will definitely convince you that Umineko is a completely different beast from Higurashi. We begin with a look into the past with the revelation of the existence of Kuwadorian and someone who&#8217;s actually named Beatrice as well [...]]]></description>

		<title>fffff &#8211; a tale of failures.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since I have a blog, I figure I should blog once in a while. Don&#8217;t worry, I&#8217;ll be back to blogging too much about animu and politics shortly. So this term has been not quite as keikaku as I&#8217;d have liked. This has been fairly enlightening as I try to figure out just wtf I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<title>3B: アニメじゃない</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By popular demand, here&#8217;s a post that&#8217;s not about animu. Let&#8217;s see what delights my 3B term is bringing me.

This was one of the courses I was most looking forward to. And then I found out the prof I that I thought was teaching the course (who is a [...]]]></description>

		<title>What the hell am I watching? Fall 09 Edition</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just ended my terrible string of being busy. Now I have time to squander away. The question now is how best to do so.
5. The Sacred Blacksmith
Everything about this is completely underwhelming. Quite honestly, I expected it to be this way, but I&#8217;ve been avoiding these fantasy/RPG types of shows for a while because this [...]]]></description>

		<title>Finale: CANAAN</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To be honest, the only reason I watched this was because I&#8217;d heard that Kinoku Nasu wrote it. I wasn&#8217;t really expecting something like Kara no Kyoukai or Fate/stay night, but I&#8217;d expected some kind of similarity. Well, I guess the only similarity was the fact that the plot is pretty incomprehensible.
The incomprehensible story that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Finale: Taishou Yakyuu Musume</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I wasn&#8217;t going to give this one a shot, mostly because I&#8217;m not a huge fan of baseball. Yeah, I know, I&#8217;m reading Cross Game and I wasn&#8217;t really anticipating that one either. Also, with the avalanche of girls doing stuff (rock band, mahjong, kendo, baseball, art etc.) shows, I wasn&#8217;t sure that I really [...]]]></description>

		<title>End of season: Saki</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was first lured into Saki with the promise of mahjong. Of course it was a fairly transparent trap. High school girls playing mahjong? Really? I didn&#8217;t really expect much going into it. Hell, the first few episodes bored me to tears and I eventually dropped it right before the tournament started.
A few months later, [...]]]></description>

		<title>End of season: Spice and Wolf II</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Spice and Wolf&#8217;s second season was one of the shows that I was looking forward to the most. There are two things that I really enjoyed about Spice and Wolf: the huge role that economics plays in moving the plot and the verbal sparring and conversations that Lawrence has with Horo (which might explain why [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wolf and Terrible Cover Design</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So today, we found out what the US cover of Spice and Wolf volume 1 is going to look like. It is pretty terrible. It looks like either a terrible teen novel like Twilight or a terrible trashy romance novel that you&#8217;d pick up at some supermarket. I understand that you don&#8217;t want to publish [...]]]></description>
