we're finally notdotq anymore

Someone was bitching at me about anime blogging the other day. A friend, even. And he likes this blog. Maybe.

Anyway. I don’t have much to say… been doing the same old anime-watching-reduction thing. But I finished some stuff recently, so I guess I can do some recapping.

Kyou no Go no Ni—awww, what a touching story. Actually, I don’t really know about this little OVA thing. I feel like it would have been better if they’d stuck to dumb ecchi, or if they’d tried to make it cute and sweet from the beginning. The abrupt change from panchira jokes to “become a better man and marry me” was … abrupt. Anyway. I enjoyed it. Took way too long to get out. Stupid semi-annual OVAs.

Elemental Gelade—I gave this a 10 on AnimeSeen. I enjoyed it a lot. Yes, the ‘quality’ on an objective scale is not too high. Production isn’t far above Naruto and I can’t tell whether those backgrounds are a stylistic thing or just cutouts for convenience’s sake. But what this show has going for it are a good cast, a plot similar in spirit to Scrapped Princess, Cisqua (who fucking rocks beyond belief), and Pirate Ren in the last 2 minutes of the show (I’d hit it. I really would. Oh my god she’s hot).

Genshiken OVA—it was really just more of the Genshiken show, in OVA form. And it was fun, just like the show. The OVA had a bit too many lesbian undertones, though :\

And now, for some stuff I definitely haven’t finished…

Lucky Star 11—alright. Alright. I’m sorry. There it is. I’m admitting my mistake, just as predicted by the comment-leavers on my first Lucky Star post. Yes, I enjoy the show. I skip the OP every time and enjoy the jokes, and the dad is awesome. Kona’s dad that is. And yeah, I mean it. He’s awesome. It’s always the dads—Bleach, Shuffle!, Tsubasa Chronicle, Romeo x Juliet… it’s always the dads.

Nana 43—sooooo goooooood. Nobu’s going for suicide girl. I hope she goes for him, too, in a Higurashi no Naku Koro ni kind of way. Bad jokes aside, this show really is good. Thank you, Ureshii, for making me ureshii.

Other than anime, I’ve been spending my summer break doing stuff like writing and making maps for Warcraft III. Sleeping a bit here and there, not sleeping a bit here and there, hanging out with friends, and generally having a ball. I feel super good these days, and my first ‘job’ type thing’s coming up—a paid internship at the local lab. Should be good.

If you all wanted me dead in that last poll of mine, sorry?

If you wanted me to keep blogging in spite of my misanthropic/elitist/judgmental ways, well, you have your wish I guess. Though posts like this are about all I can manage right now.

Oh, and proof that Pirate Ren is the hottest thing since Nagato Yuki sucked herself off:
