In a beautiful piece celebrating the tricentennial of Johann Sebastian Bach’s birth, WFB once wrote that “[i]f a human being exists who is unmoved by the B-minor Mass, it should not surprise that human beings exist who are unmoved by democracy, or freedom, or peace.”

This doesn’t quite rise to that level. But I genuinely believe that if you don’t find the opening sequence to Moyashimon one of the most charming things you’ve ever seen then something is profoundly wrong with you.

When I first heard the theme — Curriculum, by Ifu Sarasa — I had it on repeat for far, far too long. It’s just too cute and fits university life perfectly.

[P.S.: Think microbiology.]
