Questions are good things. They are there to get to know others and to find the common ground with each other, with the people we want to love. Well, I would think that the biggest thing I need to learn is to love myself. I think at least. I like lists, I make lists, mainly about anime and manga that I want to read and watch. And sometimes about American books too. My life does revolve around things that I consume. And I do not know if I am fine with that. I would like to fancy myself that I like philosophy, but in truth, I like the idea of philosophy. In the sense, philosophy means the love of knowledge, because we cannot know everything. So we need to start with things that we do not know, even though there are many famous figures in philosophy, I do not want to read from them. Because the biggest thing that I do not know if myself. And, as I am right now, I am more interested in filling the emptiness in me, if that makes sense. But I like questions. So, I went out and looked for que...

"Bungaku Shoujo" Memoire - Review

Score: 9/10 "Bungaku Shoujo" Memoire is a three-part OVA, that depicts the characters before the movie had taken place.  This was needed since the movie adapted almost the middle section of the light novel series. It was made by Production I.G, has the average length of an anime episode. Director: Tada Shunsuke. Producer: Kuroki Rui. Sound director: Nakajima Toshihiko. It is not needed to watch to enjoy the movie, but it gives context to a lot of things that the movie didn't have time to get to. It does carry the same atmosphere as the other OVA does, more light-hearted but it has narrative value as well. It can come out as filler, however, I had never had any problems with filler content.

"Bungaku Shoujo" Kyou no Oyatsu: Hatsukoi - Review

Score: 9/10 It is an OVA that kind of explains what "Bungaku Shoujo" is about, it was released with the limited edition of "Bungaku Shoujo" Minarai no, Shoushin, as it is presented on MyAnimeList.com and it was made by Production I.G released in 2009. The director was Tada Shunsuke, sound director was Nakajima Toshihiko and episode director Ezaki Shinpei. This OVA has a real personality to it, and it is really different from the atmosphere of the movie. It is different in a good way, and it is more comedic. I can't help to compare it to the movie since this is something that must have been what they had teased the movie with. It is a good marketing plan actually, but they managed to make it into their own thing. This one focuses on another classic, same as the movie, and this is more a taste of what the movie will be like and it could feel like it is a filler. But it is quite well-recived filler on my part. Is it mandatory to understand the movie: no. I can'...
