Of adaptations

I have no idea how to describe it.
No, the animation was not perfect. The animation. And the direction still kind of lacks. But...
When it comes to voice and soundtrack...
I can't possibly relay to you the feelings their words contain. I can't possibly make you relive the atmosphere the music created.
Ii no ka yo, konnande
sugee daiji no koto daro, sore tte
I...
I was asleep the whole day. Waking up at 8am does this to you. My eyes hurt. My muscles I don't feel. I halfheartedly decided to catch up with MaoYuu before taking a shower. But... the sheer amount of adrenaline this scene pumped in my blood was enough to wake me up, and say that today was a good day. It was epic. In the pre-internet meaning of the word.

Then came episode nine, and the "I am human" speech.
Koshimizu Ami outdid herself. She changed between at least three types of voice, in a perfect flow.

It was moving.

And no. I don't have any words to describe this either.



I am happy MaoYuu got adapted.

AWESOME AS HELL.

Ideas behind MaoYuu (part 0.9)

Really, I can't even begin to count all the ideas that the author of MaoYuu incorporated inside. It already has most of the "fuck yeah" moments in human history in its story... Ha, it even has the Russia winter wars in the making. Besides this? The technological progress behind the Age of Discovery and, later on, the Industrial revolution, the printing press, the first universities, bringing new crops from the overseas territories, the potato that saved Europe, Protestant/Anglican churches, a flavour of communism, large quantities of medieval economics theory, and so much more... Oh well, I caught up with the manga, time to lament a little how bad the anime will be... for no other reason but to lower my impossibly high expectations. Ah, and omake:
