I didn’t catch this until I saw some screen captures, but the music piece in the background here is Beethoven’s Fur Elise.
Figure 1.0: Quite a bit of attention to detail.
I was surprised that they went through the trouble of putting in an actual score, although I guess with the shift to digital rendering of anime, this probably wasn’t too hard.
One thing I’d like to see in this anime is more piano pieces - since they seem to portray Haruka as more or less a virtuoso, I thought we’d get to hear more classical music.
Edit: The scene is from episode 3, around 27 seconds in.

Here’s the trailer for the new M. Night Shayamalan Movie
Here’s how it ends - they were killed by Shayamalan’s giant ego.
Now that you know, there’ll be no reason to see it. I just saved 2 hours of your life. You should thank me.
Happy Holidays!
I really got into the spirit of Christmas, so i decided to write this song. a small amount of it is plagiarized from James Joyce, which would explain all the references to Dublin.
It’s not exactly appropriate and some people will not find it funny. Use your own discretion.

The headline of a Globe and Mail article today read “For a single moment, the stars were aligned”, referring to the brief moment the green party lead the polls in Owen Sound last night. It brought a smile to my face. I would have liked to see the Green party pick up at least one riding if the referendum is not going through (Which btw, is all hikago’s fault). Of course, I didn’t help the cause either; I didn’t vote green.And boy am I paying the price now. This morning, on my way to work, I was ambushed by an elite tag-team of Al Gore and David Suzuki. Despite having the fitness of a hippo and the smarts of a chimp, they still managed to chase me down behind an alley. While they had me against the wall, the Govinator showed up with a piece of two-by-four.

The loonie is now 1 for 1 with the American dollar.
yet we still pay more for books.
Warning: This post is completely pointless.
The new season has started, but there are few gems within the plethora of shows. In fact, there aren’t any shows which have really captured a strong fanbase yet, but hopefully we’ll be in for some surprises much like how the Rangers managed to pull a clean sweep on Atlanta out of nowhere.
Speaking of sports, I’ve noticed it is rather rare for a male lead to have a strong sports background or be on a sports team in relationship based anime. Its actually rather common for one of the girls to be in a sports team, and of course we’re treated to the male lead cheering her on and she makes some crazy comeback into 1st place, but why not the other way around too? Maybe the male lead will pull his team through to a miraculous win or a playoffs spot like Chris Bosh did for the failing Raptors. (more…)
