Man, the last 5 minutes of this episode completely makes up for 21 episodes of terrible writing, and I say 21 epsisodes because this episode was no better. Marianne and Charles and their ridiculous God killing crap were just another gimmick to advance the plot. It seems the writers can’t get enough of spending large [...]

Kino no Tabi: The first novel
Posted in Manga, tagged Kino no Tabi on August 29, 2008 | 5 Comments »
Considering the fact that one can never have enough Kino no Tabi, I went out and bought Tokyopop’s release of “Book One of The Beautiful World.”
I find it interesting and I guess fitting that Amazon lists the book as:
Popular in this category: (What’s this?)

Code Geass R2 Ep. 20 – Hang on, still barfing
Posted in Anime, Code Geass on August 24, 2008 | 14 Comments »
Ugh. What the hell is this? The animation quality took a hit, the plot was rushed faster than ever before, and the characters all went wacky. Why is it necessary to throw so much crap into one episode? I think my worst complaint is that, in order to accommodate all the new plot threads, they [...]
Going on a temporary hiatus

I had a few good lengthy posts to make, but school has started back up, and I’ve been so busy I didn’t even make my Code Geass 19 post, so I’m just going to get settled in here a bit. I’ll most likely make a post on Geass episode 20 on Sunday night, and then [...]
Hakaba Kitaro Complete
Posted in Anime, tagged Hakaba Kitaro on August 11, 2008 | 5 Comments »
Hakaba Kitaro was relatively mediocre and failed to impress. I think if I had sat down for an hour and read the manga chapters that these eleven episodes were based on, I would have considered it time well spent, but the anime itself seemed to drag on without offering anything original beyond its halfway point. [...]
Code Geass R2 Ep.18 – The Pizza Predicament
Posted in Anime, Code Geass on August 11, 2008 | 4 Comments »
It was a good day for Pizza, or at least that’s what C.C. believed. She may have lost her memories, and this new master may be quite frightening, but if there was one thing she knew, it was that she wanted pizza. The day before, one of the little people inside the talking box (Master [...]
Otakon 2008 – I met people like whoa
Posted in Personal, tagged Otakon on August 10, 2008 | 7 Comments »
As opposed to AWA where I made no contact with anyone whatsoever, I actually met and briefly talked with bloggers, forumites, and other strange people at Otakon 2008. I probably didn’t do too much talking though, as I’m generally rather quiet around new people. I almost participated in epic karaoke, but as I was listening [...]

My apologies to Shakespeare.

Lelouch: So foul and fair a day I have not seen.
