So, I quite enjoyed the 2006 “Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya” anime, and it turned me into a bit of a KyoAni fanboy; I went from there to watching Air, and Kanon, and Lucky Star and so forth. I didn’t go … Continue reading →

Unsettling realizations…

Cultural Differences

Posted on October 7, 2009 by baudattitude

I just used Capcom’s Ōkami as the primary source material for my first 300-level college paper, in a class that is currently focused on Japanese literature of the Heian period. I wouldn’t have tried this sort of thing at my … Continue reading →
