Yea, I feel the same about Bakemonogatari. I just finished the Tsubasa Cat arc and that alone increased my overall appreciation of the story. Not sure if Nise will have the same level of concentration as Bake, but the arcs are there.

Man, I hope Pirates turns out alright. Could be a little more reckless, but we’ll see what conflict brews I guess.

Amagami was always sub par, the Nanasaki Ai first half was a complete snoozefest. Kaoru arc when? :p

I was really thinking that pirates was gonna be moe moe pirates, but I got hacking, sailing, and parfait.

Twenty’s nipples should not do those things…

I think one of the main issues with Amagami SS is that it’s drags on… Sure the story format is different from other harem anime, but it’s also a double edge sword. It pretty much mean that you have to wait just to see the part with the interesting girl. The second season is a little better, but suffers from the same issue with the addition of the arcs being too short.

Mouretsu Pirates was surprisingly good and this is coming from someone who haven’t watched many shows involving space. Not only the characters were enjoyable, but I liked how futuristic the technology is and of course, the pirates.

As for Milky Holmes II, I still love it as much I did with the first season.

LOL gravity! This looks fun, and early 2000s. Hmm.

Back when drmchsr0 blogged about this, I was gonna pass it off as some weird stuff Tomino came up with while he was drunk and stoned, but it certainly seems to have more substance than that, so hopefully I can find the time this coming season (there aren’t many good picks, it looks like) to take a gander at this. I am missing a bit of mecha in my animu watching.

Comment on What I learned from National Novel Writing Month by Ryan A

Hell, I hadn’t put much thought into what this even is or even how to undertake that much writing in a month, and I think this post fills in a lot of grey area in my mind. Writing is difficult for me, and I don’t think writing fiction is easy in general, but I’ve skimmed a couple books about writing of all kinds and I think taking notes is something important. It’s kind of like an artist keeping photos or colors for future use, little events and descriptions are likely good stimulus, especially if the writing is based on your own experiences.. at least, that’s what the books tell me. The longest story I’ve ever written was in a middle school creative writing class, and even then it was 5-6000 muddled words. You did awesome in my opinion, and I’m not so sure this 50k words in a month thing produces a great story (editing and all that other stuff still needs to happen, then there’s planning/storyboarding and whatnot.. one month is short), but it sounds like a strong start in the right direction.

And writers probably read and write more than anyone else. Good habits to have I believe, but personally writing takes so much time that it’s difficult to find pleasure in it.

Hope you stick to it and give it another shot next year!

P.S. This is a nice wordpress theme!

I agree, it’s a nice exercise, but the possibility of having a viable product come out of it seems silly. Now a springboard into a viable product, that I can see, and it’s how I’m looking at it now.

Glad you enjoyed the experience overall. I have some concerns with NaNoWriMo being seen as a legitimate source of good writing – but that mostly applies to self-important authors. You clearly approached it realistically and handled the failure in a reasonable way. As a three-time trier and three-time loser I can say that the impetus to write alone is a positive point for me.

Good luck next year!!
