Ever heard about Hydra?

Well I have. Troublesome and deadly creature with multiple heads. If you cut one off, two new heads grow on its place. This is exactly what happened to www.animetake.com. If you are interested in how society reacted to animetake shout down click read more below.

Moving to Blogger.com!

I'm sure you all noticed how many things have changed. We have new address, new layout, new background pic and lots of other new stuff. 
Okay, here is what happened: because I'm gonna post this blog to my uni and get it marked in one of my Creative Writing modules, I had to transfer it to blogger.com platform. I copied all the posts here with pictures. From now on I will post here.
Blogger.com offers way more customisation, is nicer and easier in use and hopefully will serve us well :)

Sorry for inconvenience and, as an apology, cheerful pic of Haru-chan !:

Death Parade will shake your moral system!

 Yesterday I had a chance to re-watch few of Death Parade episodes with my flatmate and hear her opinion. Surprisingly what she had to say not knowing yet how the story ends, was so interesting that pretty much gave me new insight on the whole title and I'm going to share it with you.

Spring Season - DISAPPOINTMENT!

 Snow melted, birds came back, flowers bloomed. Spring finally came. Joyful time not only for lovers of nature but also for anime fans! Usually by this time grim and boring winter season ends and new, shiny, fresh series are coming out, just like they want to celebrate spring with us. But... ehh... not this year.
Well... yeah. I am disappointed. Press 'read more' to... um... read more...

My Favourites vol. 2

'Aku no Hana' - 'Flowers of Evil'

Hi there! Today I'll tell you something about one of my favourite series of all times. Having seen more than six hundred titles (not sure exactly, but getting close to thousand at the moment) makes it quite difficult to choose top animes. Let's say 5% of what I've seen made really good impression on me and changed the way I see the world today, it still gives +/- 50 series to talk about. Picking ten out of them is extremely difficult, not mentioning just one. But some are so special that makes them easy to select out of the rest and one I am going to talk about today is just like that.Let me introduce you to Aku no Hana - anime certainly not for everyone, but one that impressed me so much, that I actually had to rethink my entire worldview.

"To watch" list struggle ~

Japanese are so hardworking and creative people... we all know just too well. Even after years of watching their anime I am nowhere close to know all. There is simply just not enough time to watch all, what's more, there is not even enough time to watch only 'good ones'.
From this struggle "to watch' list has been invented. But uhm... problem is as unsolved as ever... isn't it?




Let me tell you my story with this invention...

My little treasures (part.2) !!!

I wrote nice and long post here and... guess what! When it was all done, right before I posted, bloody mozilla firefox crashed and I lost it all!


Firefox - kill yourself.

Thanks.

What happened to the Animetake - explanation...

Situation is still unclear and most of what we know are assumptions, but from what it looks like right now, it's unlikely that we will ever get any more information. Also we can be sure that Animetake will not come back any time soon. Owner of the site will not participate in optional restoration. He also will not share animetake.com database even if it still exists. And... well I am not surprised... what happened is SHOCKING!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And here is what I have learned:

Animetake is dead ;(

Today is a bad day. Hundreds of thousands will mourn this day. Such a great community and portal with anime - gone forever in a single moment. Situation is unclear yet and not many facts available. We are still waiting for ~Dao to give his statement on what have happened.
All we know is that this is permanent and has something to do with recent hackers rides on animetake.com.


This is what's left from our beloved website:

Once I research the topic better I will provide you with some more concrete informations:

My Favourites!

Hello everyone! Recently I re-watched some good oldies (or not necessarily oldies) and thought I could share some of my favourites with you. Yay!
So, yeah, want it or not, I'll tell you some about one of my 10/10 series that really impressed me. Or maybe even more than just impressed. Main protagonist of the title I'm gonna talk about is undoubtedly my idol, and his girlfriend for sure one of the most interesting and charismatic characters created I have ever seen.

Ladies and Gentleman, let me introduce  ~Bakemonogatari!!! (like you don't know it already)

Fanart time!

Hi everyone! Today I'll share with you few of my favourite fan arts from around the internet. Hope you'll find them as cool as I do. Let's start from this amazing picture of Shinobu - little vampire from Bakemonogatari:

'Cool' instead of 'manly' & 'cute' instead of 'sexy'

Japanese culture is so different than European. Diving into the world of the "blooming cherry land" may cause a cultural shock and often does. People and their standards are so different than what we know and are used to...

But today I wanted to talk about something specific - ideals of Japanese girls and boys. How do they imagine their perfect self and what do they expect from opposite gender to be like...

Hello World!

Welcome to my new blog!

I will be posting anime-related stuff here. Feel free to read and comment anything you find interesting and remember to be nice to others and don't flame.

Sooo... let's have fun together!
Peace!

PS. If you have any nice fan arts saved or you make them yourself and want to share them, feel free to send me some and I might be able to post them here in the future. Yay!
