anime 2009

I'm currently watching some anime: Suzumiya Haruhi, K-On!, Shinkyoku Soukai Polyphonica Crimson S, Sengoku Basara ... maybe more.

I'm planning to write outlines and impressions for each episode, as I did on Maria-sama ga Miteru.

(Though I already saved an article on Polyphonica Episode 1 as a draft.)

Friendster

I saw Friendster for the first time. It seems like MyYearbook, which I joined before and now leave it alone.

Comedy or Tragedy

As I said on Twitter yesterday, North Korea is likely to ignore other countries' advice and leave inconvenient groups. It seems just like the former United States government, whose ex-president once called it the "axis of evil".

Hmm ... why did Bush use the word "axis of evil"? It was the term showing Germany, Italy and Japan around World War II. Did he want to be a winner of "World War III"? For me, he was posing as a hero, or rather a cowboy in westerns. Look at his face. He should have been a cowboy, not President.

The Bush family had friendship with Osama Bin Laden before. Bush Sr was exporting money and arms around the Gulf War. Some people say Al Qaeda planned September 11 because Bush Jr became President of the United States. Love turned into hate.

Subprime loan problems ... Bush loves limited government, so he pursued market fundamentalism and carried out deregulations. And we have troubles now.

"The invisible hand of God" Thank you for the optimistic word, Adam Smith.

My goodness. Kim Jong-il was elected again as its leader. So he will spend more money on military, not for its people. One of his jobs must be an egoist.

Autocracy : to be continued

China and Russia are too easy with North Korea. They are "relatives". I mean, they're socialist or communist nations.

North Korea is short for Democratic People's Republic of Korea. But it's never democratic. They should change its name to Priviledged Class's Aristocratic Nation of Korea.

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

Suzumiya Haruhi Season 1 starts again.

Some sources say its anime begins from April, but they didn't say whether it's season 1 or 2.
It seems Season 2 is not prepared.

An ad about Season 2 was on the Asahi Shinbun in the summer in 2007.
Little information has been announced since then.

Haruhi's staff seems to like to surprise people, but I don't think it's a good way.



PS A source says the new anime has 28 episodes. They will broadcast Season 1 chronologically and after that the new 14 episodes will come out.
(postscriptum added on 5 April)

April Fool

Today is 1 April.
April Fool's Day!

Japan is one of the earliest countries that a date changes.
So half a day has already passed.

Who do I play tricks next?
