wat.

I had a rating (9), but I removed it until such a time as when I could rewatch and reassess it.

Y'know, I totally didn't see this message when I last commented on your profile.

So, you gonna rewatch End of Eva as well?

Also, thoughts on Kaze no Stigma?

2.0 is an above average anime film. Unfortunately, it's also demonstrably flawed, a complete FAILURE in regards to the source material, and such an unpleasant viewing experience that there is no numerical equivalent for my unhappiness. But I rate things as objectively as I can, okay? I try to ignore the existence of the original series and focus on Rebuild's success as a mindless action movie. The pacing is still horrible and the script has ridiculous problems, but the characters no longer seem quite as neutered.

Did you have any concrete thoughts about Macross F? Does it seem like Society material to you?

Also, I watched AnoHana and [C]. Regarding the former - it seems my enjoyment of the series is inversely proportional to how much time Menma spends on screen. She is such a caricature. As for the latter, the previous episode gave me the impression that there was quite a bit of plot to get through, so I was very surprised this episode drew back to give us Mikuni's backstory and some insight into Msyu. I'm glad for it though.

Okay, saw episode 6 of [C]. That fight scene cutting off like that was extremely jarring.

Agreed. I kept that one. I'm also not sure whether I prefer the male or female version of Kimi no Kioku.

Did you read my blogpost?

No, actually. I wasn't in a hurry, and now I can't even watch it until tomorrow, since streaming video in the library would just be too awkward. (The fucking Hub is on vacation opening times again.)

I'm surprised you have reports due, um, after the end of term? But you said I should just post my review tomorrow, right?

I'm not going to list all the tracks from Persona 3 I enjoyed. I liked a lot of it, didn't really love any of it.

Finally watched Under the Red Hood. I had my annoyances with it, but the emotional stuff between Bruce and Jason was handled superbly. It was great overall. Also, Jensen Ackles as Jason Todd was very nice.

Also, the Persona 3 soundtrack does have some very nice bits.

Take heart. See, this guy's comments about the production seem nothing if not promising:

Based on the beginning, I thought Phryne's character would be really awkward (random nudity, ugh), but I ended up really liking her.

Also, have you heard? Lauren Faust has stepped down as showrunner for MLP. I'm trying to stay optimistic that her successor will be good and that the rest of the staff will maintain quality, but still, O_O.

I actually thought Fractale managed to balance its bipolar tone rather well. At the end of the day, I quite like it, especially for its social commentary regarding anime. It does have a lot of things holding it back though, no question about it.

Yeah, I noticed that too! And TV Tropes mentions it as well. It does seem rather conspicuous. I know Spike was a character from the original cartoon, but Angel is a new addition.

(I have him as my avatar practically everywhere by now... Jeez. -_- )

A quest to find the most obscure anime possible and watch them.

Am...am I...a...a...hipster?

I'm going to watch things not on your list just so our similarity goes down :P
