your thoughts have summoned this post from hell so, as i pray... Home > Archives > 2007 > May > 07 I’m doing it betterI watched more than 30 minutes of anime this week, as it turned out. Those thirty minutes were, as someone in the comments accurately guessed, Lucky Star. I don’t know why I keep coming back to that show—probably out of obligation. Or maybe because I secretly love the ogre. Oh well. Anyway, I’m also watching Naruto and Bleach on a weekly basis with my older brother who’s a fan of such series. Finally, on my own initiative, I’m watching Sola and Strikers. Sola because I’m a soraphile, Strikers because Kurogane prescribed me Nanoha a few months back and it’s simply become a part of what I do. Apologies to Shirukii for my lack of Sola posts; I’ve been kind of avoiding anime and blogging and such things, and that happens to be a side effect (you know, the whole avoidance of blogging thing). It’s not that I view Sola in the destructive “anti-inferior-things” light that I’m viewing Lucky Star, Kyoto Animation, and the anime blogging community in general in, I’m just really not into this whole notdotq thing right now. But special things deserve special mention, and I watched more than just the aforementioned episodes this week. Majime na Lolikit I downloaded a batch for Venus Versus Virus and watched episodes 4-12 in one go instead of sleeping Saturday night. I figured it had decent theme songs and a decent amount of pseudo-yuri in it, and was thusly worth my time, so I consumed it. And I enjoyed the ending. While not as closing as it could have been, it depicted a very clear image of “what happens” and “why it happens”—two elements missing in great quantities from… oh, shows like Kiddy Grade or Zero no Tsukaima. (And then there’s Lucky Star—”wait, something happened?”) My other feat was watching Rozen Maiden with my onii-tama. We’ll be tackling Traumend next weekend, and I’m looking forward to it for one reason: rule 41. Onii-tama and I kept gauging our progress by watching snippets of the “desultimate 527 death combo” video on YouT, and from the looks of it Traumend starts off strong. Suiseiseki, you’re a doll of a little girl and you don’t turn me on, but you’re so incredibly adorable~ (Also, Jun is a fucking asshole to the same degree that Maebara Keiichi is a fucking moron. Unbearable in a show with no redeeming values. Note that this makes Keiichi unbearable—Rozen Maiden has desu.) |

Funny, the only thing that really annoyed me about the show was desu doing just that. .\/.

Meh, no big deal. I didn’t blog 4 because it was made of fail, lose and Aono. With not nearly enough loli chop to make up for it.

Well, they make Jun such a jerk on purpose so that you can see what he’s gone through and how much he changes by the end. He’s a lot more tolerable later on, and in the second series.

It really is such a stupid show. Azumanga Daioh without the funny, if you will.
I jokingly told a friend of mine (and I quote), “I’m watching this show solely because its opener is so fucking epic.” The problem here is that it’s not a joke. And it’s not funny. Just like Lucky Star.
I’m such a tool.

Well that’s obvious. The problem here is that Jun is such an asshole that I really didn’t want to see him change. There was this separation between my emotions and his character; the extent of his asshole-ness completely severed any appeals the show was trying to make. I guess that’s a lesson for us all: cruelty is self-destructive. :)
