Something To Live For
Posted by: Shin
Lack of updates because I've been entangled with so much real life shenanigans, including, among others, being homeless - which I suppose isn't as bad compared to being a pseudo illegal immigrant last year when my Visa expired long after I realised it did 
The fact I'm even posting at all signifies two things. One, I've settled down well enough to be more or less rest assured for the coming semester(even if the internet here is horrible) and two, yes, I'm still not in prison, to the dismay of some, I would imagine 
In short, I've been down and out for the past couple of weeks, but I regained the will to carry on due to an unexpected act of Doing It Right™ by Australia, or at least the state that concerns me, now recognises the third gender. That's right folks, Hideyoshi is now officially acknowledged by the New South Wales government. Perhaps they were so touched by my plight that they've decided to grant me at least one nice thing in life while being here. You know, I might actually consider staying for real this time, and fulfill my life long aspiration of marrying and starting a family with a Hideyoshi of some variety. If that's not something to live for, I don't know what is.

My Valentine Hideyoshi
Posted by: Shin
"Shin, I-I know... you might be a little lonely on Valentine's... s-so I made you some chocolate to make you feel better. Y-you don't mind if it's from a guy, do you?"
Not at all, Hideyoshi, not at all 
Happy Chinese New Year to my fellow Chinese readers and Valentine's to my ronery bros and sisters. Those with dates, I hate you all.

A Game Of Pretend
Posted by: Shin

I have been grieving for the past week over Australia's decision to deny the nice things that define my raison d'être to the point of disillusionment. What is left for a broken man who has nothing else to lose but to take action? Oh no, I don't mean protesting in the streets or even launching an all out cyber attack against the government - I have neither the capability nor impetus to pull something off at such scale.

Why Don’t You Just Shoot Me Now, Australia?

Is that how you want to do things, Australia? First you impose draconian internet censorship, and then you ban DFC. Now this? When I go back to Sydney by the end of this month, it would be like stepping into an entirely different world; A world of absolute despair and hopelessness. Australia, you used to be the land of dreams - koalas, Steve Irwin, and the outback filled with kangaroos. Now you've gone to shit. I had honestly planned on applying for permanent residency once I completed my papers, settling down in a nice little rented apartment and landing a decent paying job. Who knows, maybe even fall in love with an Australian girl and start my own family. The string of recent tragedies has seriously made me reconsider my options. What else do I have to live for when I return down under?

Living The Dream
Posted by: Shin
I've finally done it, blog.
After YEARS of careful grooming, intricately planned encounters, perfectly playing the "cool older brother next door" role, subtly planting ideas in her head, and cleverly manipulating her trains of thought, I have finally managed to make my loli neighbour imouto fall for me.
She told me today she wants me to be her boyfriend.
Just. As. Planned.

The K-ON! Franchise Progression
Posted by: Shin
In what could've turned out be one of the biggest blunders in anime business history, Kyoto Animation originally wanted K-ON! to be a serious slice of life anime , Naoko Yamada has revealed.
Speaking in an interview with Newtype, Kyoto Animation director Naoko Yamada revealed that the the team has wanted to create ℳℴℯ❤shit anime - without relying on plot, characterization, good animation and the like - for years, but senior management held them back.
"With Clannad, we were dead set against it being yet another good, deep anime," Yamada told Newtype, "but the board of executives really wanted it, the compromise sort of being that we'd get some funding in exchange for doing good, meaningful anime.
"We always wanted to do ℳℴℯ❤shit anime and the board of executives saw us as more of a good, deep animation studio," he said.
"And something I'll add to that, Kyoto Animation also did not want K-ON!. They thought working on a ℳℴℯ❤shit anime was risky and [thought], 'oh my god you can't do that, it's crazy!' They were doing market research to show us we were wrong the whole time," he said.
"We had to fight for everything," chimed in K-ON! project lead, Yukiko Horiguchi. "They wanted it to be drama. Again."
Of course the Kyoto Animation's risk in letting the K-ON! team go against the surveys paid off massively, and K-ON! ended up shifting over 41,000 copies.
"It just blows us away(knowing how retarded the otakus are). I'm still reeling from it," Yamada said of the success.

As So Ra No Wo To looms over the horizon, I personally cannot wait to see what other Kyoto Animation influences are going to trickle down onto A1's next production. Just as how Kannagi had a Haruhi-esque OP sequence, So Ra No Wo To has identical character designs to K-ON!, which is no surprise why this show has been dubbed the latter's sequel(prequel?) and Valkyria K-ONicles, among other dubious titles made to link the two shows together.
