“Don’t you wanna get away?” — CMV/AMV Saturday 7/6/19

It's probably not a secret that I enjoy music from "The Greatest Showman," but seeing this particular song applied to Ouran High School Host Club is something else entirely. BecauseImBored1 did an excellent job using "The Other Side" to tell a very accurate story. In the first part of the song, Tamaki is talking to each …

“I’ve finally made all these fine men my love slaves.” — WATCH ALONG: “OURAN HIGH SCHOOL HOST CLUB,” EP. 11 (DUB)

Blogger's Note: Well, just shy of a year-long Ouran break, I am back again to bring you another episodic Watch Along of this amazing title! I needed that time, I think, to step back and gain some distance from this dearly loved but (in my case) oft' over-watched show. These Watch Alongs were, after all, …

Feat. a Character Who Acts Like You (30 Day Character Challenge, Day 4)

Enter Tamaki Suoh! My best friend, Ginger, watched Ouran with me a few times... Do you remember that? (I apologize if you remember that... though my podcasts probably aren't much better. Maybe. I dunno. Anyway...) Regardless, she will tell you straight up (and I will proudly agree!!) that I am basically Tamaki Suoh from Ouran …

I apologize for coughing into the mic… – a “Shoujo Thoughts: Otaku Ramblings” podcast (5)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6L0VYVk6Ds I'm sick and honestly exhausted. My brain is lagging a little, and you can totally tell, but things are about to get busy here at the end of the Lenten season, so I recorded this when I knew I had the time. ❤ Please bear with me. *hugs* I tired not to cough into …

Shoujo Sings?? (For real! With background music! Maybe!)

Pasta from PlainPastaandPlainRice gave me some technical advice! She told me how to add a backtrack to Audacity, and since she did I played around with it just a little bit and decided that a) THIS IS SO FUN, OHMYGOODNESS, and b) maybe I could actually record a whole song like this!! I mean, it's a …

My Favorite Quote from Any Anime Character (30 Day Anime Challenge, Day 28)

Much like when I was prompted to pick my favorite male anime character, there is no way that I am picking a singular favorite, so I'll just start listing again. Some quotes that I like are moving or profound. Others are simply bad@$$ or cute, etc. Some I connect with more than others, and so …

The Moment that Shocked Me the Most (20 Day Anime Challenge, Day 24)

Tamaki: Haruhi? Haruhi: Yeah? Soooo, you're a girl? Biologically speaking, yeah. -Ouran HS Host Club, Ep. 1 Truly, I had no idea what Ouran High School Host Club was about when my friend had me watch it, and going into it without any sort of plot synopsis had me fully convinced that Haruhi was a …

Anime Character to Which I Am Most Similar (30 Day Anime Challenge, Day 13)

Hehehe, do you remember this? "Describe yourself in three fictional characters." I've already done it, and they all happened to be anime characters, so I'll pick the one of them that I'm most like and put his picture right... HERE! That's right. I'm basically Tama-chan. I mean, some other spices sprinkled in for flavor, of …
