 | a march of dream drifty musica |   |
Hello, welcome to my blog. I'm a university student trying to breeze his way through a computer science major while spending most of his time in lecture browsing the internet for updates of my favorite subcultural fascinations.
I have been permanently influenced by the animanga subculture for the longest time now. I liveblog anime series that I watch, posting screencaps and GIFs that I make. My dream is to have my GIF making technique noticed in lecture one day and hear someone say, “By the beard of Gol D. Roger, look at this latent young boy’s talent. Such impeccable artistry. Someone buy this genius a Strawberries n’ Crème frappucino stat!”
I also read manga, take photos, dabble in art, watch television and movies, blog personally, camera whore, and enjoy life. Respective tags can be found below. Enjoy your stay.

ASCII Media Works’ Dengeki Bunko imprint announced on Friday that Hitoma Iruma (Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko) is launchingArata-naru Sekai, a mixed-media project with anime plans. Iruma is not only writing the novel version, but also creating the story for the manga version, scripting the anime version, and penning the lyrics for the music.
The story follows a “time researcher” and a group of children in a depopulated world that finds itself stuck in time. In order to save humanity, some of the characters are chosen to travel to the future (depicted in the anime), and others to the past (depicted in the manga), while those who are deemed unsuitable for the technology stay in the present (depicted in the novel.)
For the manga about the story’s past, Iruma is collaborating with artist Kendi Oiwa (Goth, Tsukumo Happy Soul, Welcome to the N.H.K.). For the novel about the story’s present day, he is collaborating with illustrator Kurehito Misaki. Finally, he is planning the anime about the story’s future with the studio MADHOUSE, the production company Aniplex, and musical composer Satoru Kousaki (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Bakemonogatari, Nisemonogatari).

Update: This project celebrates Iruma’s fifth anniversary as a professional creator. (Iruma launched hisUso-tsuki Mii-kun to Kowareta Maa-chan light novel series in 2007.)
Sounds so awesome. A 3-part plan intersecting three popular media, all from the creator of Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome.
