Report Jolon's Profile

If that helps, I recently read the manga and loved it. I watched the anime quite a few years ago, I suppose before I learned to appreciate the finer things in life. I'll have to revisit the adaptations sometime.

Hello. Just stopping by to say hello to a fellow Aria and Alicia fan. ^_^

I don't think it actually was, since the only two people I got to check it out (to my knowledge) didn't actually get there in time, but thanks anyway. I dunno, maybe the amusing(?) image in this week's message convinced someone to try it? Probably not, but wishful thinking I guess.

Either way I'm still really happy it's in. Hell, it was the first thing I ever nominated when I joined the club.

And yet marathon I shall.

Sora wo MARATHON yume wo UNISON shitaiiiiiiiiii~

That too.

Generally though I found Origination inferior to Natural, save for the last 5 episodes during which I cried like a bitch.

What hole in my life?

I thought you were taking your sweet time.

Your plan to take over the world has been put into action, my lord.

Hi Jolon, I read your review about Hanasaku Iroha, a very balanced review indeed. I'm recruiting new members for PA Works club and contacting users that followed this show I found it's really appreciated, especially between female audience. Here you got a point when you're saying that it doesn't have its niche, because the audience is mainfold. Take a look at the club, if you want to join you're welcome. Bye!

Your profile picture is really awesome, from which anime is it from? or it isn't from any anime? :)

Overall, the characters in Kamichu weren't the best, but Yurie was wonderful, moreso than anyone in Sketchbook and the main reason I found Kamichu so enjoyable. Episode 14 in particular did a fantastic job at showcasing how Yurie accepts her responsibilities as a God but she's still young and wants to be lazy and looked after.

Hey. Sorry for the late reply, I only just noticed your comment.

I thought it started out a little on the slow side but started to pick up at episode 3. More comedy would have been nice as I feel that's when the anime was at its best. I liked the variety in the cast, but some characters could have seen more screen time, Juju was rather underused and more interaction between her and Kurihara would have been good.
The music and art were both great and set the atmosphere well. If it goes up for spotlight in CnC, I'm unsure as to how I'll vote. Sketchbook certainly has charm but feels a tad lackluster to some similar titles like Aria, Kamichu and Fuujin Monogatari.

And congratulations to you on watching Twelve Kingdoms.

...How do you manage to find out the instant I start Aria, anyway?

That's fine ,but I'm not the guy to contact. FOEbulous-max is in charge of member inactivity.

If you contact him letting him know how long you'll be away, and leaving your votes for the next three weeks with him (obviously you can't leave votes for further weeks, but still), everything should be fine.

Oh yeah, I should probably resume subbing the rest of those when I get the chance. Glad you enjoyed the drama CD!
