Blue Spring Ride Episode 8: The Thought That Counts

I was just about ready to give up on Blue Spring Ride (Ao Haru Ride) – or at least blogging it.  But then came along episode eight, hitting me right in the feels.  Nicely done. After getting so down on Futuba the past two weeks for her selfish thoughts (though I count myself as nearer… Read More Blue Spring Ride Episode 8: The Thought That Counts

Anime Today: Confessions of an Exclusivist, Christian Otaku

For as long as I can remember, back even to my elementary school days, I recall always desiring to be different or unique. I can even remember my public school teachers all hammering that message into my and my classmates’ collective heads. “Be yourself” seemed to be the key phrase (and considering my years of… Read More Anime Today: Confessions of an Exclusivist, Christian Otaku

Blue Spring Ride, Episode 7: Honesty

After getting so down on Futaba last week, I was really glad to see an entire episode dealing with her dilemma and her real desire to tell Yuuri the truth.  But further, episode seven of Blue Spring Ride (Ao Haru Ride) continue to showed Futaba’s shortcomings, which are the same we all have. The show… Read More Blue Spring Ride, Episode 7: Honesty

Blue Spring Ride Episode 6: Sisters Before Misters

Episode six of Ao Haru Ride (Blue Spring Ride) picks up right where episode five left off, dealing with Yuri’s admission to Futuba that she likes Ko.  While Yuri tells Shuko the same and deals with the pains and delights of a crush, the scenario puts pressure on Futuba to really think about her feelings… Read More Blue Spring Ride Episode 6: Sisters Before Misters

Blue Spring Ride, Episode 5: Teamwork

When I was about nine years old, I got lost in the woods.  It was one of the most frightening moments of my life.  Thankfully, I avoided Blair Witch or The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon spookiness and backtracked my way to a lake, and then found my way back to the campsite (where I… Read More Blue Spring Ride, Episode 5: Teamwork

Blue Spring Ride, Episode 4: Boundaries

Boundaries play a role in all relationships.  Depending on the closeness between two people, and each person’s ease with intimacy, walls between people can be high and near uncrossable, low to the point where one can simply step over them, or somewhere between.  Boundaries can even disappear altogether.  Episode four of Blue Spring Ride (Ao… Read More Blue Spring Ride, Episode 4: Boundaries

Anime Today: Story, Story, Story!

If you read Kaze’s and my reviews of the spring anime season this year, it wouldn’t take a brain surgeon to figure out that neither of us was impressed. In fact, the general mediocrity of it all left me in such a cynical mood that I commented on how low my hopes were for this… Read More Anime Today: Story, Story, Story!
