One (Nova) by Rob http://unbound.org/wordpress/?p=1651&cpage=1#comment-7510 Rob Tue, 14 May 2013 05:52:49 +0000 http://unbound.org/wordpress/?p=1651#comment-7510 Hi maglor, good to see you :-) You can appreciate why she needs the support, and I like to “spread the word” where I can. Turns out this place is ideal ;-)

Homura is awesome, and most likely the “bravest girl” here, though they all have their trials. I credit Gen Urobuchi who created her character so skillfully. She went from heavy to hero in unexpected ways ;-)

Good luck with ISML this year; great job so far, given the juggernaut that is Tenshi! Everyone’s seeing her as a shoe-in, but Misaka may have a chance, if anyone does, what with Railgun 2 airing. We’ll see what happens :-D

Music is my first love, and these tunes (and scenes) really moved me. Of course, YMMV, but I tried to pick “good songs” to deliver the words accompanying the fantastic visuals, without regard to genre. I hope you enjoy them, and your Journey [...]

]]> Comment on Almost Air-Borne! by Rob http://unbound.org/wordpress/?p=1523&cpage=1#comment-6575 Rob Wed, 09 Jan 2013 05:33:20 +0000 http://unbound.org/wordpress/?p=1523#comment-6575 WB DL! And thanks for buying my book :-D I think you’ll find it much more than we first let on, and hope that you (and every other Reader) enjoy the ride! I’ve kept everything pretty much under my hat but it’ll definitely blow off in Book Two ;-)

Wow, I can’t believe it’s been five years since True Tears, but time’s been flying so it’s likely. Noe needs more love <3 The OST’s great; I have it and have played it a few times. Brings back bittersweet memories of this excellent dramatic series.

Just a few posts ago I put up a Planetarian video, either here or on the website (which has been revamped since you last saw it I think), but I can’t find it o.O

So here it is, a fully-orchestrated and extended version of Gentle Jena, with vocals! While I prefer the solo piano version, this one is gorgeous: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bW1sV0ovf54&feature=share&list=LLtRfY7MvMoM7dvcX3oFutLQ

Gentle Jena is one of my most-treasured songs, probably due to the association with ever-so-lovable Yumemi. Too bad they haven’t made the game into an anime yet; they really need to. For those unfamiliar with Planetarian, the wiki will tell (and spoil) you. An unforgettable experience for “just” a Visual Novel: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetarian

So you like Misuzu, her seiyuu Tomoko Kawakami (who sadly passed away recently), and Natsukage? (Of course you do; it’s rhetorical :-P )Here is a beautiful treat: Natsukage, sung by Tomoko, with stills from AIR. Perfection! http://youtu.be/dIevhN_-n_I

Hard to follow that up with anything, so I’ll close & get back to work on Book Two: Air ;-)

And especially thanks for stopping by and leaving your thoughts :-)
