Notes on series I'm watching:

Allison to Lillia- Wil is still awesome, as is Allison. Their kid isn't too bad, but is basically Allison with less sense. Trieze wins though.

Nabari no Ou- Confirmed, Aizawa is the most badass character of this (last) season.

New stuff (that I watched or am watching):

Zero no Tsukouma (first season)- Started off awesome. Liked Saito a lot, and even if the Louise is the second coming of Nagi (HnG), she's far more acceptable. Siesta is <3 and the supporting cast is nice. However, I just hate when the main character relationships are forced. I expected it, but it's still a shame when they throw away more natural relationships in favor of shit. Reminded me of FFX when there's nothing between Tidus and Yuna romantically and then BAM lake scene and they're deeply, deeply in love two seconds later. Downloading the second season.

Nogizaka Haruka- On the same page as mia. The concept had potential, but Haruka needed to actually be a likable, non-moeblob character for this to work. So she's supposed to be this intelligent, strong school idol type? Why must they make her the biggest airhead ever? I'm surprised she remembers to breathe, let alone managed to keep her secret all this time. Shame, since I'm usually a sucker for a piano player (<3 Madoka Ayukawa). They also seem to have reused the interior shots of the HnG mansion for her house. She gets points for Z-throwing that bish at the end of ep 3, but this series is pretty flushable.

Aquatic Language- Random short film I downloaded (clocked in at 9 minutes). Odd, barely coherant, but very charming. Check it out.

20 Faces- Wow, Episode 12 and 13 were terrible. What a waste of good building tension.

Akagi- Watching on a friend's reccomendation. Yes, it's a Mah-jong anime. The main character is a crazy genius of a type I don't think I've exactly seen before. not sure I can approve it in full yet, but so far it's neat.

Slayers Revolution episode 5:  plot!  finally!
Rocky: you do know what an A-bomb is, right?
Bullwinkle: A-bomb is what some people call our show!
Rocky: I don't think that's very funny...
Bullwinkle: Neither do they, apparently!

You don't even need to understand the game to appreciate the awesomeness. I think you should keep on with that, it's really something. It blew my mind away when I watched it.
19:35:58 (trancehime) there's a specific spot in the game that's for item duping
19:36:14 (Sanae) o.o
19:39:11 (Sanae) I'd love to dupe a second trancehime.

Akagi- finished the second arc. Probably putting it aside for now, but not from lack of goodness. Also need to see Kaiji, since it's by the same guy.

People at Otakon have given me a bunch of stuff to track down and watch. Aside from Monster, 20th Century Boys, and Romeo x Juliet, I just started watching....

Kyouran Kazoku Nikki: Let me try and explain this show.

1000 years ago, the demon Enka was slain by humanity. However, with its dying breath, it claimed its descendant would return to wreak havoc on the world.

1000 years have passed. Humanity has developed a DNA test to find the descendant. Problem is, there's more than one, and killing them all wouldn't be just, when the rest would be innocents.

Commence Operation: Cozy Family- To gather all the children in one place to a) find out which one is the world-destroying one and b) possibly convincing the world-destroying one not to kill everyone.

The family's dad is a member of the Japanese Paranormal Police division, forcibly married to a telepathic catgirl with a god complex (Child #1). The other children are a talking lion, a cute little girl raised by the most evil business family in japan, a yakuza heir with gender confusion issues, a bio-engineered cyborg weapon, and a jellyfish.

Hilarity ensues.

So while I was looking around to see if Mazinkaiser had any official englishnessness I bought the original series of Macross on a whim. It's beautiful.

While I was watching that, I acquired DYRL and I watched that afterwards. On the positive side, it's pretty and it has Ai Oboete Imasuka. On the negative side is far too much -_- tssk. Then they have the gall to semi-retcon DYRL to be the actual events discounting the creative liberties of the in-universe studio god why WHY I need more aircraft-carrier-armed-ness in my life and less green brain-freak exedol

Somewhat annoying that the only other legit Macross I have access to is Macross Plus (and the first segment of Robotech if you count that which I don't).

Yeah, that's all you're going to get legit access to, either. Seven was never licensed because the cost of the songs would be epic, and after Plus came out Harmony Gold (US company) and Big West (Japanese production house) entered into a never-ending war over the US rights to the franchise that basically means there will never be another Macross series released in English ever again.

Also, I've long believed that Macross DYRL would be awesome as a stand-alone story if it actually had a beginning.

Bought Macross Plus, acquired Macross Flashback and Macross II.

Macross Flashback I could theoretically see as having some vague worth if you really, really like all the songs from Macross/DYRL and you have no other way of listening to them. Perhaps. ALSO TEN SECONDS OF FOOTAGE OF SDF2 MEGAROAD the worthiness of flashback is completely stunning me into incomprehensibility here


Macross Plus I've once seen in a magazine feature of the top 50 anime you must own or thereabouts; I don't remember the exact ranking it got but it was in the top 10 at least. After watching it I can only conclude that the people writing the magazine were criminally insane because it's not exactly great by any stretch of the imagination. We never even end up finding out what the point of the whole background conspiracy is, the only even half-decent characters are Myung and Millard, it's supposed to be the prettiest thing since sliced bread but I'd probably say that DYRL is prettier despite not being as clean, Sharon inexplicably has mind control and telekinesis...


Canon Macross is seriously beginning to burn my bridle.


MEANWHILE in the world of non-canon Macross we have Macross II. Which I was pleasantly surprised upon loading up to find that it had english subs as I didn't even know they existed, let alone that where I got it from didn't mention that it had them. In any case, Macross II is... decent. It's not a patch on Macross, but it easily blows DYRL and Plus out of the water. I can handily see why they might not want the story as part of the canon, but for god's sake.

On the topic of Macross, Macross F 20 was pretty good. I never really liked or thought much of Diamond Crevasse until this episode. .___.

Geass R2 spoilers, ep titles, and a nice little scribble in the Roman Album pretty much indicate that my dreams of FUCKYEAHEVILSCHNEIZEL are going to come true. Now how about that fucking Kannon = Naoto.

Also, Detroit Metal City is entertaining. Watch it.

Not liking Macross Plus makes you a bad person, you know.  Unless you watched the movie instead of the OVAs.

Liking Macross II makes you a...confusing person, but I'm a big Princess Tutu fan, so I suppose I don't have much of a leg to stand on there.
