Mar. 19th, 2006 10:59 pmAhahah. Busier weekend than most, I must say. Tons of computer stuff. Installed some new DVD burners and a new hard drive for the PC, upgraded the firmware on most of the DVD burners, got a UPS for the PC, got an upgraded version of Toast and a new power supply for my PB (the old one started to literally fall apart), cleaned some dust out of the external drive tower, new IDE cables all around, installed a bunch of software, and most importantly of all, I installed Line Fighting Spirits. I think it was all worth it for that one reason.
Anime time!
Magikano: Episode 11 was more WAFF than anything, but #10 had magical talking panties, and this. Pure comedy gold.
Shinigami no Ballad: Momo is a quiet and sensitive girl who likes to help out. She's also a fully licensed, card-carrying angel of death. Initially I was disappointed by the first episode. After all, anything with the word shinigami (god of death), one would expect a lot of death and dying and bloody mayhem. Nope, not really. Instead the show is about her and her interactions with people, and she would probably be more suited to work alongside the likes of Belldandy. But I warmed up to this show, and I find I'm enjoying it. Bonus points for crazy lyrics in the opening theme song, though.
Futakoi Alternative: I haven't seen the original series, and apparently I don't have to in order to understand this one. I'm sure it helps, but when you make one series that's nothing more than another harem show and make a second one with the same characters but now in an action setting with guns and explosions and fighting all over the place, the idea of established characters has pretty much gone out the window. Not that I have any problem with that, mind you.
Uh what other anime have I been watching... I know there's a bunch and I know I should be able to rattle off the titles in a heartbeat, but I apparently can't.
Ugh, AIM must have corrupted it's preferences or something. It keeps opening IM windows all in the same place and window size, as if it was someone new.
In keeping with my plan to prune my convention schedule, I must say that I'm not sure if I'm even going to Animazement this year. I know it's a good convention, but I need a better reason to go. The only real definites this year are Tekkoshocon, Otakon and AUSA. If I only end up going to about 4 conventions this year, I can be cool with that. More would be fun, but hey.
Ah crap, weekend is officially over for me. As is this entry!
