Starting with this episode, I’m going to try to cut down on how much I write per an episode. It takes too long, takes up too much space, and is just a pain to write. This with the fact that next week I’ll be starting my second anime blogging project, School Days, I just thought it was time to make a change. I had originally planned to keep writing the Nagasarete Airantou episodes the same just to be consistent…but I changed my mind.
In any case, we’re now up to episode 11. We’re quickly approaching the halfway point of the series (ANN says it’s slated for 26 episodes) and in this one Suzu gets a fever and we meet Yukino’s mother.

The recently-acquired-by-ADV series of short stories called 5 Centimeters Per Second is next on my list of what to see. By the same person who made The Place Promised in our Early Days (which I love) and Voices of a Distant Star (which I should get from Netflix today), 5 Centimeters Per Second may be best described by it’s subtitle: “A chain of short stories about their distance” and is about, perhaps not surprisingly, a series of stories about a pair of people separated by distance and how it impacts those characters.
Given that I liked Placed Promised and I’ll surprised if I don’t like Voices, it’s a shame this isn’t coming to DVD until December. ADV is screening it at Anime Expo, and hopefully they’ll give it the same treatment at Otakon.
