Comments on: Amatsuki - 11 http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/06/14/amatsuki-11/ An anime blog covering a large variety of series, both popular and underrated.

In fact I wish that any rating 6 or less (for both a title and a group's release rating) to require a review be written. But I still use anidb simply because there are no other sites that come close with the features I use which are still just a small subset. They even have IRC interface (seems great for quick lookups or scripting) that I've yet to figure out. Other sites my myanimelist are good for info on the series, discussions and recommendations.. but for anything other than RAW releases, anidb is really the only site to track detailed information about releases from all groups -- container and codec, bitrate, subtitle format, resolution, source (DVD/TV), CRC, md5, release version, specials eps. etc Their separate review system for each group's releases is also timesaver for fansub viewers, when used with some judgment of course.

(Myanimelist). Its the same there: An anime can be exzellent and a masterpiece, there are always people who rate it 1/10 points for some stupid minor reasons. At the same time, things like Kanokon get 10/10 points from many users... I am on MAL too. (Myanimelist).

I'm just here to say I have gained a lot of respect for you for this entry. Anyway, I like your Star Crossed. You tend to have a good taste in anime.

As far as I'm concerned, when subjective and insulting labels are put up, it shows up the immaturity of those who put up those labels - it's just puerile. Re: Amatsuki Episode 11 - This episode helped clarify a number of things from previous episodes. What Tsuyukusa exchanged for Heihachi's life is that he would help the fox demon to locate the tree trunk of her master. It also brought into focus that the <i>ayakashi</i> are not doing things out of mischief but in response to the disregard that humans have had of them. Even the default position like Kuchiha going after Tsuyukusa on-sight when Tsuyukusa hasn't done anything suggests the nurtured antagonism that the humans are having with regards to the <i>ayakashi</i> similar to the fear and hatred of people who different from them somewhat akin to the mutants in the Western comic world. In fact, Tsuyukusa's actions have shown him to be laudable and the <i>ayakashi</i> in a more positive light compared to the actions of the humans in this episode.
