Anime Pilgrimage: The Snow Queen - episode 3

http://bell-chan.blogspot.com/2005/09/snow-queen-episode-3.html

A mirror of Alexander Doenau's quest for culture. Sunday, September 11, 2005. The Snow Queen - episode 3. Fragments of the mirror". At last, The Snow Queen. Shows its literary roots. The Snow Queen's mirror shatters and a fragment finds its way into Kay's eye. Historically, the fragments of the mirror corrupt the world, making those that they touch see everything as ugly and evil. As a result, Kay becomes something of a bastard. Lamentably, The Snow Queen. The sometimes dodgy quality of the animation mak...

http://bell-chan.blogspot.com/2004_12_01_archive.html

A mirror of Alexander Doenau's quest for culture. Friday, December 31, 2004. When the price of creative control is that you have to incorporate "X rated material", you come up with something like Kite. Named for the flying devices controlled by strings) is about Sawa, a young girl of indeterminate age (she goes to college, but that may be a symptom of this anime featuring sex). When Sawa was. The ending of Kite. Is a little confusing as it sends extremely mixed messages; the final minute could be read tw...

Anime Pilgrimage: September 2004

http://bell-chan.blogspot.com/2004_09_01_archive.html

A mirror of Alexander Doenau's quest for culture. Tuesday, September 28, 2004. Love Hina - episodes 1 to 4. This might have come as a shock had I said it four years ago: I don't like Love Hina. Putting aside the excellent, attractive and hilarious manga, this is not good anime. For me, just as it was all those years ago, the Love Hina. Anime is the beginning of the end of everything. Let the beatings commence! Is anime the only place in the world where people go bathing in towels? Ueda Yuji, who usually ...

Anime Pilgrimage: Progress report: Batrock goes to the taffy pulling machine

http://bell-chan.blogspot.com/2005/09/progress-report-batrock-goes-to-taffy.html

A mirror of Alexander Doenau's quest for culture. Thursday, September 15, 2005. Progress report: Batrock goes to the taffy pulling machine. At the moment, I'm working on making the new and improved Batrock fit all of the images well. I'm going to keep the "one splash image" pattern I've been doing. Because I have to reupload every article I have written since the initial move to Batrock, I will hopefully be able to do this for every article along the way to create marvellous uniformity.

Anime Pilgrimage: July 2004

http://bell-chan.blogspot.com/2004_07_01_archive.html

A mirror of Alexander Doenau's quest for culture. Tuesday, July 27, 2004. Record of Lodoss War: Chronicles of the Heroic Knight - episodes 1 to 5. Record of Lodoss War: Chronicles of the Heroic Knight. Is the 1997 sequel TV series to the popular 1990 OVA. It continues the story from the most interesting part of that original series and overwrites the rest. It works because it allows room for exposition without overcrowding or boring. The first step that shows this is a different take on Lodoss War. The o...

Anime Pilgrimage: Tide-Line Blue - episode 7

http://bell-chan.blogspot.com/2005/09/tide-line-blue-episode-7.html

A mirror of Alexander Doenau's quest for culture. Friday, September 09, 2005. Tide-Line Blue - episode 7. What did I say about Keel being in his element? Well, with a trip to Tibet for some hard gambling, we are given an example of exactly that. This episode is pretty good for most of the characters involved; even the frequently insufferable Joze gets some good comedy and drama in. It’s all pretty good. That is: around Gould and Joze, he wears his heart on his sleeve. The funny thing about Tide-Line Blue.

A mirror of Alexander Doenau's quest for culture. Wednesday, September 14, 2005. Honey and Clover - episode twenty-one. When I was younger, I used to ride my blue bicycle and wonder how far I could ride without turning back .". Essentially, Takemoto gets a job. On the same day, the company goes bankrupt and he loses it. While this straight up sucks, you also have to consider that Takemoto has been looking for work for more than a year now. This episode is excellent and, as Garten says. On an entirely dif...
