Phew. Took me a long time to organize my thoughts, but here is my (exceedingly opinion-laden, exceedingly spoiler-heavy!) take on the English dub of the first Digimon Adventure Tri movie, “Reunion.”
2000+ word monster of an essay, under the cut.

...Finally, I'm done.

Not DONE-done. Never done. But life has been really intense for the past months with Responsible Adult Things, culminating in a large chunk of business travel during which I honestly couldn't tell you what day it was for about two weeks straight. And now it's over. Done! Fini-- and at long last I have a chance to indulge in ( Read more... )

All right, here are some thoughts, broken out episode by episode because that's all I had time for. Overall? I liked it. Did I like it better than Saikai? Well... yes and no. My feelings were quite... polarized, this time around, though the good definitely outweighed the bad. Basically: Jyou and Mimi were A++. A lot of other things didn't sit well ( Read more... )

I have become an insatiable doujinshi-buying machine recently. I blame the fact that I didn't know stuff I was interested in was still obtainable, and I didn't actually trust eBay as a place to buy things until this year! Er, last year now... sue me ^^; Plus, I've ALWAYS wanted to collect Digimon doujinshi, so this is what I like to call "living ( Read more... )

Hey all, I'm back! Whew, that outage was a little longer than I expected it to be, but... between battling work, jet lag, and a mysterious case of food poisoning, I just didn't feel like doing much this past week! But, I'd say I'm basically operating at 100% again, and you know what?

Today was a really good day.

OK wow! So many feelings~! I'm going to try not to repeat things I've seen elsewhere, and just offer my own impressions. And mind these aren't all FIRST first impressions since I wanted to watch the whole thing uninterrupted, but I DID try to capture as many of my thoughts as I could from that first viewing on Sunday, plus a few more in-depth ( Read more... )

You know, I've missed long-form blogging. I'm really going to try to do more of it!

With that said, here are a few gen/shounen-ai Digimon doujinshis I picked up recently! Lots of images under the cut, some of which are a teeny bit risque, so y'know... view at your own discretion.

So, I randomly went home last weekend (eh, not so random-- parents' birthdays, you know). OMG, I had really been missing Colorado. The dry air, the altitude... even though Saturday was a bit cold and rainy, Sunday was very much my idea of a Perfect Fall Day: warm and sunny (but not too warm), great for a grilling outdoors and taking the Samoyeds ( Read more... )

Last night, I dreamed that WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon got into a friendly competition about who was more powerful, and the target they chose to practice on was a baby grand piano-- which of course destroyed in the process. Thus, Taichi and Yamato had to rebuild/fix this piano, and this ended with them playing a duet together on the roof of a ( Read more... )
