InuYasha Chapter 555 – Darkness

First off I would like to say a big thank you to the Adinuyasha crew for allowing me to use their scans for the blog (you’ll find a link to them on the front page) If you are an InuYasha fan I recommend checking out the link and taking a look at the yahoo group they have set up.

They have some wonderful conversations going on about the latest chapters as they come out and the manga in general. It’s a fabulous resource if you are a fan of InuYasha and they are a very welcoming community.

Now if you are reading this I’m assuming you’re a fan of InuYasha, because as you can see from the title, I’m not starting from the beginning of the story. To do that would quite simply be crazy considering this story has been going on since around 1996! I may however do an Introduction to InuYasha post, summarizing the series for any interested parties, but I wanted to get this post out first.

So as we saw last week, the well in both the future and the past has disappeared. Kagome is enshrouded in darkness and InuYasha is inside the Shikon no tama.

All girls round robin

This is a beautiful world, is it a world that people escape to?

The first topic for the all girls round robin is up, and I’m one of the writers who signed up, this blog was made for this purpose after all. Since I live in Pacific time, this will probably be one of the latest posts. The topic is:

The Rabbit Hole: Anime and Escapism

Why do you watch anime? What do you get out of it? Think about this prompt in terms of escapism. What is it that you are escaping from? How does anime offer you an escape from your reality? Talk about the way in which anime distorts reality by offering up fan services of all types, fuzzy feelings, and happy endings. What is the appeal of anime? How do you balance reality with the unrealistic nature of anime? Does this make you feel like a coward for not being able to cope with reality? Or do you think it’s a healthy refuge from the stress and hard realities of daily life?

Summer Movies Pt 1

First off, if you haven’t yet seen Iron Man, and Indiana Jones, you may not want to read on in case I spoil something for you. Secondly, GO SEE THEM NOW!!!
I’m not sure how many parts there will be to this little section, I guess that depends on how many movies I watch this summer. Its shaping up to be quite a long list and I may as well write this now, since the Wings are losing and if they lose I don’t get laid, so I have time

So for part one let me tell you what few I’ve already seen and what I’m looking forward to seeing. Hopefully you’re looking forward to some of these too

Umineko no naku koro ni ep 1 part 2

My previous post was short because it covered the parts that are already released in English. But this one is quite a bit longer. Also, I found out that I had made a mistake and thought chapters 2 and 3 were 2. I apologize for that.

Just like the title says, a short summary of Umineko no naku koro ni ep 1. Read at your own risk. There’s a screen shot for every chapter.

I realized that my old post was completely useless in terms of anything and so I re-did it.

My little project

After feeling inspired by Bluemist, I’ve decided to blog Umineko no naku koro ni ep2. Why not Ep1? Because the translation for ep1 is already finished and you can go read it at their project page if you want to, and a complete patch might be released even before I’ve finished blogging it. Nevertheless, I will post a short summary about its plot. How does one blog a visual sound novel such as this? Simple, I’ll put out 1 post per chapter. To those who do not know about this game, here’s the wikipedia page.
