Now Watching: Children of the Whales
I'm currently watching Children of the Whales.
Chakuro is the 14-year-old archivist of the Mud Whale, a nigh-utopian island that floats across the surface of an endless sea of sand. Nine in ten of the inhabitants of the Mud Whale have been blessed and cursed with the ability to use saimia, special powers that doom them to an early death. Chakuro and his friends have stumbled across other islands, but they have never met, seen, or even heard of a human who wasn't from their own. One day, Chakuro visits an island as large as the Mud Whale and meets a girl who will change his destiny.

Now Watching: Occultic;Nine
I'm currently watching Occultic;Nine.
The "paranormal science" story follows nine idiosyncratic individuals, linked by the "Choujou Kagaku Kirikiri Basara" occult summary blog run by 17-year-old second-year high school student Gamon Yuuta. Little incongruities that occur around these nine eventually lead to a larger, unimaginable event that may alter what is considered common sense in this world.

Now Watching: Mobile Suit Gundam 00
I'm currently watching Mobile Suit Gundam 00.
By 2307 AD, fossil fuels had already long become virtually exhausted. Humankind spent several decades on wars around the little that remained of such fuels and on constructing a large-scale system to draw in solar power from orbit, with an orbital ring, power microwaving technology, and three orbital elevators. In order to construct such a gigantic, resource-intensive system, however, most relevant countries had consolidated into three major power blocks: the World Economic Union, centered around the United States of America; the Advanced European Union, centered around the European Union; and the Human Reform League, centered around Russia, India and China. As only these power blocs and their allies had participated in the construction of the solar power system, only they were entitled to its benefits; with fossil fuels nearing extinction, countries with economies based on them, such as those from the Middle East, became progressively poorer.
Meanwhile, these three superpowers continued to intervene militarily where they see fit, terrorism was still rampant, and peace was a faraway dream for many people. Even in the 24th century, humankind was far from unified. And even though humans insisted in not learning about the horrors of war and did not make a point of pursuing peace, they still intended to venture away from the Earth, with colonies having been built and nanomachines already allowing for decent life conditions even during prolonged periods in space.
In this still disgracefully conflict-ridden world, a private paramilitary organization unveils its existence, announcing its intention to bring forth the eradication of war and conflict through force of arms. This organization, called Celestial Being, possesses its own mobile suits, the Gundams, which are much more powerful than those in the hands of any military in the world, and proceeds to using them to intervene in conflicts in order to stop them by force. Their actions quickly divide public opinion, and governments and other groups begin to act by taking their existence into consideration, but will they manage to bring peace to the world? Beyond the question of how the world will reply immediately, what is going to happen in the future as a result of their actions?

Now Watching: The Morose Mononokean
I'm currently watching The Morose Mononokean.
Exorcism is the art of sending youkai who have somehow wandered into the living world back into the underworld, where they belong.
One day Ashiya Hanae, a high school student who has been haunted by a youkai, happens to find the contact information of an exorcist called the Mononokean and pays him a visit. The exorcist he meets is a morose-looking young man, Abeno Haruitsuki, and for various reasons Ashiya ends up working for the Mononokean... And so the story of the exorcist duo Ashiya and Abeno, and the yokai they meet in their adventures, begins.

Now Watching: Blood Blockade Battlefront & Beyond
I'm currently watching Blood Blockade Battlefront & Beyond.
Blood Blockade Battlefront centers around the crime fighting organization "Libra" and their battles in Hellsalem's Lot, formerly known as New York City. Hellsalem's Lot was created when a portal to the "Beyond" opened, becoming a paranormal melting pot of monsters, magic and the everyday mundane life, and it is up to Libra to clear the streets of trouble and prevent the horrors of this city from spreading to the outside world.

Now Watching: K-On! Season 2
I'm currently watching K-On! Season 2.
It is the final year of high school for Hirasawa Yui (guitar), Tainaka Ritsu (drums), Akiyama Mio (bass), and Kotobuki Tsumugi (keyboard); the founding members of the Light Music Club. Together with their junior member Nakano Azusa (guitar), they spend their days after school in the music room enjoying tea and sweets, and practising music. Amidst band practice, preparations for the new student orientation performance, scouting for new members, and student responsibilities they still have time for After School Tea Time.

Now Watching: K-On!
I'm currently watching K-On!
This is the first year of high school for the four girls, looking for that very special club.
The healthy and energetic Tainaka Ritsu (club president, drums) decides to join the school's Light Music Club, only to find out that the club is about to be closed — due to the lack of members. Without much ado she drags along her childhood friend, the shy, mature, and sensitive Akiyama Mio (bass). That leaves only two more members, required to keep club from closing. Luckily the gentle, calm, warm, and cute Kotobuki Tsumugi (keyboard) stumbles into the club, only to be "convinced" by the pleading Ritsu to stay. The last member, the easily distracted klutz Hirasawa Yui, can only play castanets, even though the club needs someone on the guitar, but she is "bribed" — with cake — to stay anyway.
Will Yui be able to learn to play the guitar — the special one she just bought and loves so much — before the four girls graduate?
