Ikoku Meiro no Croisée - Episodes 4.5 - 6

I think that I won't ever try blogging a series episode by episode. Always something happens: it gets busy, PC has problems, I face personal problems... and I'm not really fast at screencaping, deciding what to write etc. You get the picture. But since I started Ikoku and it has some things to offer, I'll blog it to the end; changing the number of episodes reviewed per post- from 2 to 3.

Ikoku Meiro no Croisée- episodes 3-4

19th century: Europe goes Japanophile!

...but a different language and the lack of communication in a common code can become a source of misunderstandings...

F: So here we are late as always... I kinda forced myself to go for this. I'm a bit lazy lately and without doing much, time passes away so quickly. It's not that I don't want to do it.It's that I always get carried away with screencaping and I struggle to keep posts short and unique. I convinced myself to go on, because having a series blogged you notice so much more and you remember more things from the series. I decided I won't do seperate episodes but bunches of them per 2. After some contemplation, I thought that just summarizing the series won't do. This is done by all blogs out there. What I'll do is after giving a short summary, I'll pinpoint the differences between the french and the japanese culture as shown from the episodes and I'll post images of situations not mentioned in the manga or only mentioned in it.

First Impressions Summer Season 2011

That's what we are watching this season: Mawaru Penguin Drum, Natsume Yuujinchou San, Usagi Drop and Ikoku Meiro no Croisee.

F: Mainly of the slice of life genre, except perhaps the first mindfuck multigenre one...As I've already written, I will try blogging the latter two. Though I am late again... I am so lame =.=

N: This season we have decided to watch many different kinds of anime. We have literally no time for anything more, because there are so many good stuff to actually watch this season.
Let's go see some general things about the series.
