ookina yume- yume suki deshou (2)

i don't think i ever got much into haruhi bc i never related with the characters all that much, especially haruhi, probably bc (at least in appearance) she's very opposite to me-- the previous video made me realize that and wanting to rewatch it. but i don't think it's nice to see yourself as someone who neglects their own dreams


rewatching this and realizing that this verse left a mark in me from my last rewatch

because you do like big dreams don't you? (i vibe more with this translation)

(lol i'm literally here, might as well do a haruhi trip)

ookina yume- yume suki deshou

i'm posting this here to bc i need to be reminded of this constantly (1:15:34):

uji

one thing i got reminded of after visiting toyosato and now uji is how much more representation there is of suburbia in anime. on the other hand, i have a hard time thinking of anime set in tokyo or in some other major city. anime makes places feel bigger apparently. they aren't felt bigger because of being represented bigger: they are experienced bigger'ly through their characters idk this is kind of dumb but just think of some sleepy ass town in your home country and of the people there finding contempt in whatever life has thrown them into. experiences like seeing 2 teenagers chatting while climbing mount daikichi in their school uniforms at 5pm for whatever reason make me feel sad and kinda lost; primarly bc i'm getting older and i long for those stages when doors felt more open than now; also kinda scared, but that's bc highschoolers have always scared me
i have always been afraid of living on smaller towns, mainly bc of the fomo the supossed oportunities of metropolitan life. atm i feel i have nothing going in santiago so idk what was i missing out. everything you need is in the suburbs of your own life



also unrelated but: receiving material support for your creative work, like actual concrete, material support that says "what you do is valuable, your work is important and i'm going to spend money so you can actually do it" has been kinda a dissociative experience bc i think i rarely experience being supported in what i do

m3 >>>>>>> pulsar

m3 is a bi-annual market of independent media art, but mostly music. independent artists, some small labels, a lot of doujin circles (groups that self-release music). i don't know why we don't have a m3 in chile. in a way we do, in feria pulsar, but we don't really accept it. it tries to paint itself in a way that doens't acknowledge the precarity of chilean music industry. on the other hand, m3 completely embraces japan's diy music output. when we are on a point where so much more music is being made and recorded than ever in history, a self-organized market of self-releases could be the most important part of a music scene

this is not a [something-in-japan=good] situation btw



the sooner your independent label realizes it is just a doujin circle, the better

(edit: i later realized that i fw m3 in particular bc it condenses a lot of (sometimes very niche) music i personally find very appealing. idk if i'd feel the same in a diy market in chile)

ohanami

not really into writing reviews, on myanimelist i have probably the only two i have published about anything, one for the gunslinger girl manga and other for the ohanami special from digi charat. not even the main show, just the special, and ONLY bc of the second episode. honestly just go read the review if you want my thoughts (i think it's like the only one it has) but what i wanted to say is that i watched it before coming here and dude every time i went to hanami'ing i remembered the fuckin insert song at the end and started hummimg and crying while watching the sakura trees it was actually kinda sad going to see them
i particularly like the part when they sing something like

now i realize

you were always looking after me

yume no naka e

i actually had never watched the esquemas juveniles mv until now so i have to ask why every shot in the intro felt like they were stabbing my heart

also it (unsurprisingly) reminds of this:


[30march2025]

so i have been watching digi charat

and one thing that i really liked was how it kinda embraced the whole 2000 paranoia

(it's more evident on the OPs but one could argue that making this kinda light-hearted comedy through traditional animation on the tip of the 2000s was a statement in itself)

~~~~~~~

last week found a site where you can calculate how many days there are in between two dates, and you can go really wild with it and choose whatever century you want

~~~~~~~

also last week, found out that 2003 and 2025 share the same calendar dates so you can actually use a 2003 calendar this year. found out because someone in reddit is using a 2003 YKK calendar and i'm so fucking envious dude

~~~~~~~

before starting this i used the wayback machine to visit my old blog and see if there were any posts available. the last remainings are from 2008 i think. the only snapshots available were from when i put it on hiatus

idk but making a blog feels very 2000s [28may'25]

WELCOME!

html sucks

• yeah
