Who is that adorably awesome girl wearing the kitty-cat hat!?

Start off the 12 Days of Anime is…Honoka. No scene or moment featuring her particularly. Just…just Honoka. In all of her Yui Makino-voiced adorable-ness. The girl who made the random little mess (even by Sunrise standards) of Sora wo Kakeru Shoujo worth watching for me. In fact, I often got behind, but every time I was actually excited to get caught up. It made the sparse scenes featuring Honoka more plentiful and therefore made for a more enjoyable watch.

Really though, the anime itself was a mess. Totally felt like they were just making it up as they went along. Luckily for me I don’t even like Honoka herself for any substance (because this anime had none) but for her sheer…my god she was just damn cute.

Lawl. Corny post title. But this is just what this anime does to. It really does make me want to eat my favorite treats too. Not just because all of the delicious looking food that makes this anime so dangerous to watch while I’m trying to diet (but seriously, that food). It’s just damn cute and that makes want all sorts of sugary evilness all on its own. I don’t know why cute things affect me this way, they just do. I bought a whole box of munchkins to be prepared to watch the first episode of Kobato. (And no, I didn’t eat them all.)

The point is this series needed another little fangirling post because I just love it so. Why? I don’t know. My interests seem to change arbitrarily. I want to say that super cutesy anime is a constant, but it’s just not. Sometimes it will piss me off right off the bat. So why does this series succeed where so many others fail? I don’t know, but I think it’s proportionate to the amount of sugar damage it does me. The fact that it’s a perfect amount.

Finally! Months after initially telling everyone about an adorable Rin plushie and about how I so totally needed it. I have her. And she is so worth all of the heartache (relative to fiction as in shallow fangirl heartache that is) I had to go through to get her.

In other news…I have quite randomly disappeared on this blog. But I have no excuses so we’ll ignore that and just get on with the ultimate “ohmygodRin!!!” rabid fangirling. *sets up Rin’s character songs* Let’s get this kitty-loving girl love on the road.

It’s finally here! The anime adaptation of my second favorite CLAMP manga! Maybe even my second favorite manga overall~ We’d have to wait and see how the series ends before I can decide something like that.

And I am just so pleased that not a thing can bring me down. This was as perfect as I could imagine it would be and anyone who says otherwise needs to kindly show themselves out. Because you’re wrong. And that’s that. Because Kobato is just as perfect in anime as she is in the manga. And I will spend this post telling everyone why you should all love her as much as I do! Except that’s impossible, so just try your best.

Yes, this is the screencap I choose to represent this fantasy series.

It was fun. This seems to be how I always feel about a new fantasy show but…uh…this time I mean it! Because it was literally fun, not just enjoyable. For me anyway.

The promising thing about a fantasy show will always be if there’s something else to draw me in. I like fantasy, but with few exceptions, ones that run on pure questing and stuff bore the hell out of me. So I need certain other things. Certain fangirling things…Certain shippy things…

…The main girl is totally the embarrassed tsundere type (as seen above). Justification for watching it right there for me.

What!? A post on Monday!? And the world didn’t explode!? Yeah…I’m making fun of myself a little, but I still won’t be making a habit of being this late. It feels unnatural. There’s just a few reasons behind it.

I feel like this episode was pretty okay, but it didn’t really appeal to me specifically. That was one major reason I didn’t blog right away, because quick impressions told me everyone else liked it, but I found myself incredibly bored throughout most of it. I really got no real entertainment from it and when they finally moved forward, I should have been happy, but the way they’ve handled things incorrectly until now just seemed to kind of…explode to me.
