Hey there, fancy meeting you in a place like this... One could easily assume that this blog is dead and therefore no longer worth checking upon. And perhaps it is dead, only taking a very, very long time to go through it's finally death throes.... Seeing as, well you know, I only update once every few months....
So, what's been up with me? I suppose I could state that one of the reasons I've been quiet recently is that I've been recovering from surgery. I had an operation on my nose (yes, technically you could state that I had a nose job) which was to remove a portion of bone that had malformed when I was being born (as my body was developing it jutted out within my nose and prevented me from breathing at 100% throughout my life. Has the surgery improved my sense of smell, lung capacity and helped with my allergies? I dunno in all reality. When I can breath clearly (I'm still congested like always because of allergies) I do notice a difference, but that's only on the rare occasion that I can breath clearly. On the other hand, one could easily argue that since the surgery took place at the end of October and seeing as this is December, I can't really STILL be recovering... and technically I'm not (although my nose is still sensitive at times). So is it a lame excuse, yea you could say that. But I'm gonna use it. Don't judge me.
I've slowly begun rebuilding my interest in anime, which had been one of my biggest issues in the most recent months. I just never felt like watching anything, and on top of that, when I did feel like it, I didn't wanna sit in front of my computer and watch something while sitting in my office chair. In my last post, I went in to what I was doing to alleviate that issue. Primarily the fact that I have a tv that I can link my computer to and use it as a second monitor to provide me with a softer and more comfortable location (my bed) to watch things from. This has definitely improved my watching quota and I've actually successfully finished a series recently, which I will get to later.
With my interest in anime slowly being rebooted, I've been trying to actually sit down at least once a week before I go bed and watch anime for about 2 hours to 3 hours. You could argue that since I actually have been watching things, I should have material to place on here. But you see, there are two major flaws with that method of thinking. Firstly, I'm essentially in bed and it's usually 2 am when I finish and therefore I'm too comfy to get up, out of my warm soft bed and sit in front of my computer and blog for an hour (kinda like I'm doing now, except this is unusual.) Secondly, I'm essentially in bed and it's usually 2 am when I finish and therefore I'm too comfy to get up, out of my warm soft bed and sit in front of my computer and blog for an hour (kinda like I'm doing now, except this is unusual.)
You could clearly state that I should have only said one flaw, seeing as I just stated the same thing twice, but I figured it was such a major flaw, that it needed to be mentioned twice.
So anyways, what have I been watching? Well, let me divulge.
Kannagi ~ It's like Aa! Megami-sama, except without Keiichi, Belldandy, Urd, Skuld or any Fujishima influence. Yet even without all of that, it still seems to have its own appeal. It's got some nice character designs, and with some nice VA work, it draws me in.
Hyakko ~ For a show that seems to be a mirror's reflection of Azumanga Diaoh and Hidamari Sketch, it has a way of keeping me watching. The characters are unique enough, except for "Ayumi" who seems to be a carbon copy of "Yuno" from Hidamari Sketch except just not quite the same punch line. Her redeeming factor would happen to be she is voiced by Hirano Aya, which grants her some immunity from obscurity in the series. My favorite character would happen to be "Suzu" as she is known. Her seiyuu is Yurika Ochiai, of whom I have never really heard much of. In fact, Suzu rarely talks. But when she does, it usually involves a rather funny gag. To be honest, I would think that because she talks so rarely, that just the fact that she IS talking is a gag. Her character design is like "Setsuna" from Negima except without the magic, kendo, or for that matter much else. She does apparently have a thing for adult underwear, primarily female panties, because (apparently) she still wears animal imprint panties, and therefore finds "adult" underwear fascinating.
Slayer's Revolution ~ I actually managed to finish this recently. Granted, the second half hasn't been released yet, but I have finished the first half. Made me pretty happy. Typical Slayer's ending battle. Lina kicks butt, Goury helps, Amelia and Zel do some damage and good prevails.
Lucky Star OVA ~ I also finished this, although seeing as it was only one episode, it wasn't really difficult. Also, seeing as I love the series, it wasn't like I was twisting my arm to watch it. Some of it was only decent, although a few of the mini-episodes during the series were hilarious. Primarily the Cinderella parody. What Konata make's Kagami say out loud made me laugh so hard I nearly cried. The fact that Kagami, only after saying it out loud, realized it was a dream was what made it even better. Then, with the cream on the top, Tsukasa just happened to be sitting in the room and heard everything. Her face was hilarious.
That is the extent of what I've been watching. But with Slayers being done, I will probably pick up where I left off with Bamboo Blade or something of that extent.
It's 2:58 am and I have to work in about 11 hours, so I will just go to sleep now and hopefully wake up within 9 hours.
