Received official word yesterday: Sorry for the long post but this message from my school district really got to me:

Update on School...

After serious thought, and possibly a symptom of cabin-fever with the quarantine, I am seriously considering doing something I said I would not do: Buy a new game console. YouTube has some new gaming...

Having a little of "Survivors Guilt" with the plight of small businesses. As a teacher, our profession tends to be 'recession proof', but , like Hurricane Ike which hit this city hard, many of my...

Just finished Episode 9: "Journey of Adventure! Huh?" Interesting character "Zomba". Reminded me of "The Preacher" comics (but Outlaw Star pre-dates) and "Night of the Hunter" (1955) Yes, I love...

"When Hot Ice Melts" was crushingly good. Initially, I was as upset, but it had to be this way. Hilda reminds me of Valeria from Conan and her fate-weaved destiny. ("Do you want to live forever?"....

I hope the information is taken out of context. Remember the brew-ha-ha over Japan's 99% conviction rate? Totally taken out of context. But, if this true, just wow.

Our school is now doing on-line learning until further notice. We have to post our assignments on Monday and cannot add any new assignments. Well, nothing was mentioned about posting new activities...

Seems like it. Even my father's '42' Tournaments (a type of domino game) are cancelled. He is irked, but understands.

I had Schumeran's Disease growing up. It was hard having to explain it over and over. Never had any pain and will not progress anymore, but the comments over the years have taken a toll.

Episode 3: Into Burning Space logged. No real answers to questions yet, save Hilda probably won't try to kill Gene anymore (probably). He showed his usefulness as a crew member and she seems to be...

Just finished episode 2: "World of Desires". Did not disappoint. Lots of good background information on Gene and Hilda and even more questions! I sound like a person watching a soap-opera for the...

I definitely would like to see it but to wait to send them. Two big reasons: 1) I can get a handle on the animes watching now. 2) I am learning Japanese! I realize I am not worthy to be classified...

Things to do:

1) Find and Begin watching "Outlaw Star" = Check
2) Find and Begin watching "Monster" = I found it but only in DVD (expensive!) still looking
3) Find and Begin watching "Terror in...

Thank you for the kind words. I am excited I found something both the students and I genuinely enjoy. Luckily, I have a principal has given his approval to continue, for he loves the 'data' results....

Mantis,

Interesting you brought up the Firefly reference. That could have been the show the spaceships reminded me about. During the opening sequence when the rocket is going into space, I kept...

I have found the interest level has skyrocketed for social studies, both boys and girls, though their likes are almost polar opposites: Girls tend to like animes like "Anohana", "Your Name" and "A...

I happy you appreciated the references. I am happy you like Konosuba, too. So, yes, you can say, "I love you" lol

When Starwind uses increasingly more powerful blaster pistols to take out the Tao...

I have been using anime for my sixth-grade class going on three years now. Why three years? I had been using classic movie/show clips to emphasize key points in Social Studies. I challenged the...

Out of respect to Outlawstarnexus, and natural curiosity, I finished my first episode of Outlaw Star (Outlaw World). The series definitely starts off with a bang! In a good way, I feel I am going to...

Thanks for the ideas. I will definitely look into those recommendations, as I now have more official 'free time' (school closed until at least May 1st as announced by our state governor). Until this...

Hi and thanks for the message. I teach 6th Grade Social Studies. Yes, I need to be careful with which animes are used in class for obvious, yet not-so-obvious, reasons. More than one faculty...

Nyanpasu! Long story short: While encouraging students to 'try new things', a student encouraged me back to 'try anime'. "Insert world-changing cliche here" After watching "Welcome to the N.H.K., I...
