Jaded Perspectives

There are a great many things to like about Nagi Sanzen'in. There are also an equally great number of things to hate about her. In any case, I'm not here today to talk about the many complicated facets of Nagi's character that makes her who she is. Nope, in fact, because I'm a bit tired over the holidays, I'm keeping it nice and simple today. Therefore, for today, I'd like to talk about what I like most about Nagi's appearance. Now if you know me, you'd know that I like everything about Nagi's appearance, but if I had to choose just one thing, it would have to be her bright, cheerful smile. Specifically, that open mouthed, eyes closed smile that she often reserves only for Hayate. I know a lot of other characters do that too -- especially in modern times. Also, a lot of other characters did that before Nagi as well. For me though, Nagi's smile is the most special. It probably has a lot to do with my bias, but her smile is just absolutely radiant

Christmas is the day when the misunderstanding began -- but it is also the day when love began three years later for these two. Happy HayaNagi Day everyone~  Also, Hata-senpai noticed me again~

One of the biggest criticisms against the Hayanagi ship is that there is simply no chemistry between them -- which I believe is a big fallacy. What they lack is an explicit, overt manifestation of mutual sexual interest. Note that I used the word "sexual" and not romantic here. While sexual desire generally follows with romantic love, it is not always necessary.

They are proof that even exerts in psychology can share my views. With that aside, I would argue that while whether it can be considered romantic or not, there is definitely a lot of chemistry between them. You can claim that this is all platonic, brotherly, sibling love or whatever cockamamie term you want to use, but that doesn't make it so. And please don't think I am stupid, I KNOW that it doesn't ne

So I watched No Game No Life: 0 yesterday and I really loved it. You can read the full review here . While watching the movie though, I couldn't help but be reminded of Hayate and Nagi's relationship in Shuvi and Riku. This is because there was actually no hint of sexual attraction whatsoever from Riku for Shuvi from start to finish. He was always fully aware that she was a machine and he never looked at her in a sexual way ever. Yet at the same time, he wanted her to be his wife and proposed marriage to her -- which she accepted after initially rejecting him. Also, he unequivocally declares that he loves her several times after this and she does so as well at a certain point in the movie. The thing is, Shuvi is a machine, an ex-machina in the shape of a little girl and she even outright declares during their first meeting that she doesn't have a hole -- even though her initial goal was to engage in the act of reproduction with Riku so that she could understand the human he

I just got back from watching No Game No Life 0 and I knew I had to type up this review right away while the movie is still fresh in my mind. So with that said, here are some of my ramblings on several aspects of this movie. Also, I was one of only two people inside the movie theatre -- not counting  Mai Waifu, Nagi Doll who travels with me everywhere :). Plot The story revolves around two core characters, a human named Rikku and an Ex-Machina (basically a killer machine) in the shape of a little girl who is eventually named Shuvi. Rikku is a boy who was born in Disboard at the time when the various races were still conducting a great big war thanks to their Gods and their obsession with an item known as the Suniaster which would be manifested to the one true god. Rikku's village was devastated by a group of Ex-Machinas when he was a child. He eventually grows up to become the general of a group of surviving humans who manage to stay alive through subterfuge as the ot

For those who are still hung-up on how the Hayate x Nagi ending was wrong (your subjective opinion no matter how you insist on it being “correct”), I’ll give you something: I don’t completely disagree with you. I just disagree with your reasoning. I Am Sorry To Tell You This But Your Rationale Is Incorrect You see, the most common reason that I read online is that “there were no romantic developments” or “Hayate never saw Nagi as a girl,” which, in my opinion – as far as storytelling and plot analysis goes, is a rather lame rationale. Therefore, let me tell you why your opinion is wrong. See, you’ve got everything backwards. You are so hung up on which girl deserves Hayate that you’ve allowed your myopic perspectives  shaped by personal bias to rule over your rational train of thought. In fact, for certain people, it’s become so bad that you have actually deluded yourself into thinking that you are logically superior and that you can actually get away with passive-aggressive re

Fanart Corner:   First of all, Happy Birthday Nagi!  Nagi was born on December 3, 1991 based on the manga’s timeline, so she would be 25 years old in our time. I was working on this birthday art since last week. I had a more elaborate background planned, unfortunately, I came down with a cold and so it really drained all of my creative energies. In the end, I went for something simple but pretty. When in doubt, go for anime bubbles. Out of all the clothes Nagi has worn (and she has worn a lot of them), I think this dress from her first meeting with Hayate is the most iconic. They met on a Christmas Eve while Hayate had just been sold off by his parents to the Yakuza while Nagi had just run away from a boring high society party. Two people from two completely different and equally spectacular backgrounds -- who would get together three years later as two ordinary people in love. Hayate Reflections:  Anyway, for this week’s Hayate reflection, let’s talk a bit about S1 of
