The future is here (so let me take a look back)

by Juanma Teixido


All things, good and bad, reach a point where you can finally take a breath and look at what you have done for those who care about you and for yourselves. For me, this moment is now, since a very important period of five years as a graphic design student have ended.

Serendipities- part 2




 How much more will I have to lose, before my heart is forgiven?
How many more pain will I have to suffer, to meet you once again?
One more time, oh seasons, don't disappear
One more time, the time when we were messing around

Serendipity



Well, it's neither about the above restaurant nor about the movie with John Cusack. It's about what happens to everyone in significant periods of his/her life, what (s)he comes across and retells the situation or gives a kind of solution.

Celtic Magic



From Wikipedia:
Often, the term Celtic music is applied to the music of Ireland and Scotland because both lands have produced well-known distinctive styles which actually have genuine commonality and clear mutual influences; however, it is notable that Irish and Scottish traditional musicians themselves avoid the term "Celtic music," except when forced by the necessities of the market. The definition is further complicated by the fact that Irish independence has allowed Ireland to promote 'Celtic' music as a specifically Irish product. In reality, the terms 'Scots/Scottish' and 'Irish' are purely modern geographical references to a people who share a common Celtic ancestry and consequently, a common musical heritage.

[...]Critics of the idea of modern Celtic music claim that the idea is the creation of modern marketing designed to stimulate regional identity in the creation of a consumer niche.
 Marketing or not, it's such joyful and mystical music. It makes you wanna dance! I love it!

The smell of Koki that allured us- a Mushishi review

Beings that are considered otherwordly, lowly, grotesque beings, far different than mundane animals or plants, as time passed, these deformed beings came to be known collectively, with fear and respect, as 'Mushi' .

Mushishi is an amazing series we watched a few months ago and unexpectedly became one of our favorite shows of all time, in terms of script and art. Our reviews go as following...

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust- our viewing experience of Haibane Renmei


It surely took us quite long to post this review, although we had watched this the previous December, just before Christmas. The title of the post is a pun, of course: the phrase is used in a religious context and Haibane is in a great extend religious (strangely, without the appearance of any cult or worshipping acts); at the same time Haibane means 'ash-grey'. BUT if read literally, it expresses also the taste the anime left us with...
