K-On final thoughts

I honestly really enjoyed and loved this series, and am sad to see it end. Which is odd, because it certainity isn’t the most fantastic/moving show I’ve watched or really spectactular in any way. Now let’s hope no one shoots me for saying that.

English Trailer of Ponyo released

Ponyo, a studio Ghibli film which be released in theaters in August 2009, has put out an English trailer. I have to say, it’s very exciting to watch, even if it’s short. The film appears to be cross between the style of Howl’s Moving Castle, My Neighbor Totoro and dare I say, Finding Nemo.

It’s hard to say which I find more exciting, the gorgeous ocean scenes that include comb jellies, the intense actions scenes, or the fact that Tina Fey is helping do the redub, as I do quite love Tina Fey.

While I’m guessing the film will be in the little art theaters rather then in a major theaters (although I secretly hope otherwise) and am going to have to wait patiently for our Little Art Theater. Although, in all honesty, I’d be willing to go up to Columbus just to see it.  No way am I waiting for it to come out on DVD.

Here’s to the the movie that officially has me more excited then even Up or Transformers.

Screenshots of the Week aka I may be a tad obsessed with Alice

Although props to Pandora’s Heart this week for having Through the Looking Glass reference that didn’t come out of the Disney movie.

So onto screenshots of the week as well as brief thoughts on what I watched this week. Warnings for a lot of Alice screenshots.

I’m not obsessed, I swear! I just…need to drop out of school to follow in the ways of the Alice, reflecting in ways to become more like her, changing every icon I have to her, and joining a billion and one rps to rp as her. That’d normal…right?

Eden of the East: Final Thoughts

Wow…just wow.

Memory Quilt:Blue Seed

Now here’s one I’m sure almost no one is going to know. Even I barely remember it beyond it’s really heart touching ending.
