WARNING! This post contains major spoilers from No Game No Life Zero (anime), Doki Doki Literature Club (game), and Nagi no Asukara (anime). I highly recommend you to watch/play all these stuff before reading this post, but you're free to ignore this warning (e.g. if you're not interested in anime at all). YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED . You may now continue or leave as you wish. *** I've been wanting to write a post about this for a while, but I never figured out a proper way to write it. But magically, two days ago I realized that the problem all this time is that I was afraid of telling the world about this very subject: love. So, today, I decided to eat up all my doubts and go ahead to tell you about how I truly feel. The truth is that, for quite a while, I had this mindset of "I don't really need a girlfriend, I'm fine being alone". There's no girl that I'm particularly interested about, and I believed that dating is just a waste of money....

Bukan dari kuantitas, atau bahkan dari kualitas, tapi secara personal. Sampai saat ini, saya sudah menonton lebih dari 100 anime, sebuah jumlah yang bisa dibilang cukup banyak. Banyak juga dari 100an anime tersebut yang berasal dari Top Anime Myanimelist , jadi dapat disimpulkan bahwa saya sudah menonton cukup banyak anime yang berkualitas. Namun,  menurut saya kedua hal itu tidaklah menjadi masalah. Yang ingin saya bahas di sini adalah bagaimana saya terlalu banyak mengidentifikasi diri saya dengan anime-anime yang saya tonton. Seperti yang telah dikatakan ghostlightning dalam salah satu postnya : "Daftar (anime) favorit seseorang disusun sedemikian rupa untuk menceritakan suatu kisah tentang orang yang membuatnya. Daftar tersebut dibuat untuk menghasilkan sebuah 'brand' bagi orang tersebut." Sekarang, mari kita lihat apa saja yang ada dalam daftar anime favorit saya: Coba kita perhatikan dari bawah. Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei (Tatami Galaxy). Sebenarnya a...

If you, by any chance, followed my blog from the beginning, you should have at least a faint idea why I like anime. For the cute girls! That's why, when looking for a new show to watch, the cuteness of the cover art can be a decisive factor if I should watch it or not. But before we see the cover art, I'd like you to know how I found out about this anime. For some reason that I've forgotten, this blog is in my reading list. I don't remember how I found out about this blog, but it has some high quality photos of anime figures with beautiful backgrounds. And then I stumbled upon this... Out of morbid curiousity, I googled for "Erio" and then I discovered Erio Touwa and, therefore, Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko . So here I am, at Denpa Onna's MAL page . After being fascinated by the cover art, the next thing I do is watching the trailer. The thing that really draws me in is the music. I love this kind of background music, it's like having a...

So, at first, I wanted to make a very long essay about this. But the more I write it, the more I think it's not gonna work. And then I finally lost it and just scrapped it entirely. Luckily, I still have some motivation left so I'll just write about the real reason I wrote that article in the first place. I've done some research on Kemono Friends , and I see somethin interesting. According to MAL , yaoyorozu (the studio that made Kemono Friends) has made another anime called Tesagure! Bukatsumono . This is a little bit tricky because ANN doesn't list Tesagure! in yaoyorozu's company profile . But there are indeed some common names between the two anime's staff list. So, this is the opening of Tesagure!: What do you think? I think it's one of the best anime OP I've ever seen. And this is just a parody anime. Imagine if the people who made this now make a serious anime. That's Kemono Friends. So what're you waiting for? WATCH IT RIG...

While you're still in high school, watch as much as you can. Really.

Bad. Very bad. I don't really know why, but I feel very gloomy today. Maybe it's because of the anime, or because of the sleep deprivation after marathon-watching it last night, or maybe it's because the fact that I can't talk to anyone about this anime. It's holiday, so I can't go to school and talk it with my friend (not "friends"). I didn't think it would be so hard to have a hobby that nobody else close to you have. *** And now, for the actual review. If you like anime, you all must know this one, right? Just like what the title says, it's a story about magical girls. However, many people said that this anime is "dark". This is a story about the dark side of magical girls. This is a thriller where all the main characters are cute girls with magical powers... something like that.

A few weeks ago (I've been procrastinating, I know) I asked my friend, "Why you don't watch anime anymore?". And then he said, "I think it's just a waste of time". Fuck. That was really a pain in the ass. I know he is right. But, honestly, almost everyone wastes time in one way or another. Watching TV, listening to music, playing with Facebook, Instagram, etc. Watching anime isn't that bad, am I right? *** Let's get back to the main topic. Recently, I've written a few anime stuff in this blog. And one day, I was thinking to myself, "Hey, how did this happen? How did I get into this shit?". I was confused. That was quite a tough question to answer. I don't even know how to start, but ... if I don't force myself I will be procrastinating again. So, I think I've found a way to write down that answer in a blog post (thanks to my IDM and μtorrent history, I can get the list in order). Here we go! Childhood Animes ...

Image from voiceactingalliance.com Halo agan dan aganwati, bagaimana kabarnya? Lama tak jumpa XD. Ane udah berbulan-bulan gak nulis lagi di blog ini. Tapi akhirnya, setelah bertapa di dalam kamar selama sebulan (baca: liburan) akhirnya ane dapet inspirasi (dan juga motivasi) buat nulis. Setelah gak nulis blog lagi selama 4 bulan, ane yakin tulisan ane bakal beda jauh. Ane juga yakin, temen-temen ane pasti udah pada lupa semua sama blog ini. Ah... tapi gapapa, malah ane bisa mulai lagi dari awal. Oh ya, sekarang ini ane lagi nyoba bikin tulisan pake gaya kayak gini. Maklum, akhir-akhir ini ane sering baca kaskus , jadi kebawa-bawa XD. *** Jadi, pas liburan ini ane lagi suka nonton anime gan. Sebenernya ane gak suka anime sih... kaya Narto, Wan Pis, Dragon Bol, dkk. ane jarang nonton di tipi, ini gara-gara kurang kerjaan aja di rumah, ane ngopy anime punya temen ane. Sejauh ini, baru empat anime nyang bener-bener ane ikutin: Bakuman , Shingeki no Kyojin , kissxsis dan... AKB00...
