I don't usually stumble upon anime features that I'd like to share on the blog, but this time I just so happened to find one. We get a quick at the main voice talent behind Iron Man and Wolverine anime that G4 just started airing. We see who takes on the lead roles in each series, get some snippets of the shows, and even learn about a crossover episode!

Durarara!! Ep. 6 - impressions
Could this have been my favorite episode of Durarara!! yet? I really think it might be! This episode had a little bit of everything, and it also came with a nice helping of character development! Couple all that with another excellent round of in-show music and you've got one episode that really speaks highly of the series.
This particular episode started out pretty high-octane, with a lot in-car action barreling down the streets. If you've been following along with the rest of the episodes, you know that seeing a nondescript van on the streets is a reason for concern. That usually means a kidnapping is about to take place, and things only get worse.
Not to spoil too much, but this time around we see another kidnapping victim saved, but it's not our usual youngster. This time we have a very unique, interesting character that's actually an adult. I don't want to ruin anything about this guy, but his loud personality and voice acting really made him stand out. That's hard to do in a show where you have a headless motorcycle rider out to save kidnapped victims!
While all that was great, I think my favorite part of the episode came when we learned more about one of the inner-city gangs, the Dollars. We've been hearing a lot about them, but this particular episode shows how the gang is loosely put together, and how some of its members came to be. Out of all the episodes aired thus far, this one might be the juiciest in terms of details.
Overall, a fantastic episode. If you haven't seen the show and had randomly stumbled upon this episode, I think this would be the one to make you search out what the show as about. I can only hope that this is the jumping point for even more great storytelling, wonderful music and intense action.
Esmalte da semana: Le Rose
Eu estou, novamente, numa vibe meio romântiquinha clean e resolvi partir para as cores mais meigas e clarinhas da minha coleção de esmaltes. Contrariando toda aquela coisa de tons em vinho que o inverno tem, não?
Eu já usei o Le Rose {se não me engano, duas vezes já. Uma nos pés e outra nas mãos} mas nunca postei fotos aqui no UseBlush {na foto dá pra ver que ele está quase na metade do potinho}.
Ele é um rosinha BEM clarinho em tom pastel - quase um nude - assim sendo, sua cobertura também é clarinha {e super cremosa!}. Precisei de três camadas, o que acho ok, afinal acredito que essa seja a proposta dele mesmo.

Embora a febre dos tom pastéis tenha diminuído, eu ainda cultivo o meu amor por eles.
Hoje já fiz minhas unhas novamente, também com uma cor fofinha. Logo mais venho mostrar pra vocês. Beijos e ótimo domingo queridas (:

Frequência de Classe
"Mas que raio de blog é esse que não tem informação nenhuma sobre o artista?" Pois é, eu também faria essa pergunta. O fato é que esse vinil que saiu esse ano é tão, mas tão underground, que não consegui descobrir quem é o tal J Kriv, muito menos a senhorita Adeline Michele. A faixa em questão, "Another Night", está totalmente imersa num creme pós-disco circa 1982 e tem aquele baixo sintético e elástico que deixa o groove redondinho. Os teclados forram tudo sem exageros - só pra deixar a vocalista desfilar seu conformismo no refrão "Just another night without your love...", de uma maneira absolutamente classuda e elegante. Só encontrei o B-Side do single (Social Disco Club Dub) no Youtube (mais acelerada), mas a original e o ótimo mix do mestre Greg Wilson são superiores, pode acreditar. De BPM baixo e perfeita pra uma noite de sábado, "Another Night" é classe, pura classe.
J Kriv: ilustre desconhecido comete uma faixa arrepiante:

What's your anime schedule?
We've talked about all sorts of anime aspects, an we have a million more to go. While we've talked about anime and the times we watch, we haven't talked about how much anime we actually take in in a month. As I said earlier, it's hard to find the time to check out the anime you want to, but I'm sure we all manage to make it happen.
In the course of a month, how much anime do you think you watch? I'd like to think that some people have a schedule down pat, and manage to get in a ton of anime as the months roll on. I know a few people that make a point to at least watch a few episodes of a series each week, trying to stay on a schedule that allows them to move onto new series' quite often.
For me, I really wish I could do a schedule. Some months I'm surprised by just how much anime I get to take in. Other times, I'm lucky if I manage to get an hour's worth of anime in the full month. Things just happen and eat up all the time I would have to view anime, and it kills me to go that long without indulging a little bit. I feel like I'm really missing out!
So...in the course of a month, how much anime do you manage to watch? Do you just set a goal one month and try to beat it the next?!
