Hmmm, actually it looks like it’s feasible: http://www.helium.com/items/778226-how-to-customize-ceramic-plates-and-mugs-with-your-images?page=2 ;)

@Nick: thanks! I wouldn’t worry about burn-out since inspiration seems to turn up whether you like it or not, and vice-versa. I miss your posts, but it can’t be helped. We’ve all been there! But yeah, I’d love to own this show in HD.

@hashi: it’s been ages since I’ve seen Pale Cocoon actually. I might rewatch it after seeing this!

@Sasa: I enjoyed Pale Cocoon, but it was quite downbeat and the (albeit intentional) bleakness meant that I enjoyed Eve more. Still, I’d like to think it’s been enough of an underground success to make the studio decide on a second season. I don’t think they’ve ruled it out, so fingers crossed! Two votes for the Eve-themed coffee cups too. ^_^

@2DT: I look forward to reading any post you write when you get around to watching it! It’s one of those shows that has a wonderful openness for interpretation.

I have yet to see this last episode. But I got into your thoughts about it anyway, because I’m compelled to read whatever you write. Now I’d say I’m looking forward to seeing it even more. Cheers.

Yay, you finally blogged about the last episode!

I think it was quite a powerful end and I can kind of accept that there might not be a second season considering that Studio Rikka will probably remain a small studio despite the success of Eve no Jikan.

My amazement at Eve no Jikan lets me forget that I actually used to find Pale Cocoon rather cheesy and bland. For me, Mizu no Kotoba and Eve no Jikan are definitely the more creative and impressive titles.

We should make ourselves cups that say “Are you enjoying the time of EVE?” XD

Yes, good stuff as usual. Especially since I agree, lol. This and Pale Cocoon stand up regardless of medium. Delicate, precise, suggestive, rich.

And this is the reason I wait for you to write something on this (and other) series; it’s always a good read.

In reality, my lack of writing might just be burn-out; both personal and job related.

In anycase, I’m totally with you; I await the day I can pick up a Bluray version of this (subtitled or not, though I do prefer the former…). I would definitely think this is a very good series to show to non-anime sci-fi fans, or even just those who are not fans of anime in general.

And here’s to waiting for a second season.
