My call: Shin will be flying solo. :)

That’d be really something if Ai kills herself for losing.

But really, when Noe paused at the bottom of the stairs, Shin should’ve said something. That was his moment to really solidify their relationship. I think she was waiting for him to say something. ‘Sayonara’ isn’t something that should be said often (though I hear it used often), for it’s more like a ‘final’ goodbye than a ’see you later’ goodbye.

What really surprised me was the fact that I think they were almost trying to push Miyokichi x Noe. I was yelling ‘USO!’ for the longest time. That, or, if there’s really not going to be a Noe end, Jun will freaking molest his sister.

I have a feeling the missing word in Shin’s sentence was ‘like’. I’m still desperately hoping for a Noe end, though. Even if it means Shin staying with her out of obligation…well, maybe not. But jeez, Noe has to get her tears back, ne? If Shin picks her for Hiromi, I’m sure she’ll get ‘em back xDD

@lolikit: Looking forward to it.

I spent a good amount of time coloring in the eyes but id rather not post my finished copies since there might be backlash from fans. Although it was pretty fun and somewhat hilarious…ok ok just a very simple one: http://img388.imageshack.us/img388/6318/darumaiwh9.png

It just changes that entire scene with a single frame edit

PS: RIP Raigomaru, I almost forgot. Thanks for reminding me with that second to last screencap

And no, notDotQ’s return isn’t an April Fools joke (though everyone seems to think it will be). I’m waiting to hear back from colleges. I should have all my responses by the end of this month, so the beginning of April is when I let loose. It makes sense to me :(

And yet I felt a little bit sorry for Noe, then it vanished. She, Hiromi and Ai can all do better than indecisive Shin. -_- If it ends that way, I’ll be happy.

I suppose that’s much to ask. ^-^;

I have a midterm tomorrow, my ARIA 08 post will probably be delayed until Wednesday at the earliest. It’ll break up my usual weekday dry spell nicely at least.

Looking forward to notdotq’s return, even it’s just a not so subtle April Fool’s joke.

@ solgae: Pretty much, drama just seems to work better in anime than it does in day time soap opera.

@ Kabitzin: Would have been easier to shift down to a lower gear and then kick it back into a higher one when he reached the hill’s peak. That’s why manual gear selection is put there in the first place.

I stand by my ratings!

@ Siva: But I don’t see the sense in Hiromi saying that to Jun, they both know full well that Jun doesn’t have any feelings for Hiromi.

@ proxyman: Fooled towards or away from a Hiromi end?

@ nafesco: Well, at least she won’t be succumbing to the same fate she does in the eroge TT is adapted from. …or at least I’d hope not, that would be one extremely WTF ending.

Ahh the woes of childhood.

Anyway, here’s the big news: I’m reopening notDotQ on April 1st.

Noe > Ai > Hiromi

BE BRAVE *CHICKEN GIRL*!!! T_T
