The awkward transitioning time between school and finding a job leads to little anime watching and no blogging whatsoever. I may have popped in and said something some other time but I had nothing to talk about. I still don’t. I’m not particularly impressed with anything I’m watching right now and the only shows I really like, I’m not caught up on. The last notable thing I watched was episode 4 of Eve no Jikan, which was wonderful as always.
I’ve been reading manga more than watching tv series. Gunslinger Girl and Bamboo Blade are the most recent titles I’ve started, though I still have some things I need to catch up on/finish. Gunslinger Girl is great by the way. Not that I’m late in figuring that one out or anything. :x
New episode of Haruhi was fun. I actually thought Mikuru was cute, which was unexpected. Needs moar Itsuki.
I finally realized I’d like K-On if I just stared at all the cute girls and didn’t bother paying attention to the dialogue. Not that the discourse isn’t quite funny from time to time, but looking at the subtitles means not looking at the girls and this is clearly a dilemma that was detracting from my enjoyment of the series.
Higashi no Eden is probably my favorite thing on right now. That fat dude was the best character. Even the way he rolled off that windshield was cool. They need to rewrite the series with him and Micchon as the stars.
They sure fucked up the second season of Hayate. Damn.
Going to Otakon again this year. Will karaoke no matter what. I want to sing Soramimi Cake with the full intent of making ears bleed.
Holy balls a gundam. Wut.
I just went to animenano to try and find something to talk about but all it made me realize was that I’m behind on everything, especially music releases. People are talking about the K-On character songs and I don’t even have the op/ed yet. The last thing I got was Kimi ni, Mune Kyun. Oh lawd.
I’m going to go lie on the floor and watch Higurashi Rei 3 while eating ice cream and pretending my blog isn’t dying.
>>Going to Otakon again this year
Fucking cool! I look forward to seeing you there.
Glad to see you’re still alive, even if it may be briefly. The internet is less awesome without you. Oh, and I finally read/reviewd Blaster Knuckle. Shit was so cash.
I’d actually just read your review after making this post. Time to re-read that shit.
I think Im the only one not going to Otakon.. I suck.
@ Kairu
We’re on the other side of the world, it’s a valid excuse.
@ beefy
So you did get a job? I actually had a 5-month period between jobs (currently in my 2nd job right now), which provided me with tons of time to watch anime. Now I can’t watch much anymore.
When I saw digitalboy’s Blaster Knuckle review, I was actually wondering where you were. :P
Nice to see you blogging. Hopefully with a job in tow.
I have a job and I fully expect to be blogging more regularly in the months to come, but I’m an unmotivated bastard.
@Kairu – You don’t suck, you’re just LAME. :P
If it’s not financially plausible than I guess you could be forgiven.
@N – If Blaster Knuckle were available in America, it would be sitting on my bookshelf between Dostoyevsky and Hemingway. It’s a literary work of genius.
You should show up on IRC more often, dude. I look forward to seeing you at otarkhan!
I shall get on irc more often. Starting very soon.
Hey man. Haven’t followed up on your blog in a while, but I know how you feel! Been on hiatus too, sort of back… sort of. >_>
But thanks for the summaries, haha. I partially agree with Micchon and Takizawa needing to be leads in Higashi no Eden (officially my favorite anime this season so far – but then again I’m not watching any *new* anime thus I can’t write about it), but alas.
>>That fat dude was the best character. Even the way he rolled off that windshield was cool.
- ROFL. It was!!! He just sort of bounced off in slow-motion. Hilarious. But it was epic, his death – he transferred the files and set his computer to say he was dead. I’d do that. So cool. ; P
As for Gunslinger Girl, it is fantastic – in fact, I have the entire season 1 on DVD. There is a second season, but I heard it was bad, and didn’t watch it. Just like I heard Battle Royale 2 was bad, and didn’t watch it.
I sort of lost my interest in Higurashi Rei after trying to watch episode 1, but I’ll… get around to it. I’m behind as well. =X But good luck with everything (job ‘n all as I’m in a similar boat), and looking forward to seeing more blog posts. =)
