❧ My SPN marathon is going really well - been watching an episode a day and I just reached the halfway point. Can't see I'm much impressed with S3 so far, though, and knowing how it ends is killing me.
❧ The plans to re-watch Merlin have instead sadly stopped. Woe. At least I have my picspam. (Which degenerated into a huge MONSTER. Lately I have problems restraining myself, or maybe it's just this fandom that has such a terrible effect on me.)
❧ Out of the Summer anime, I like Ookami-san best. And I wasn't even planning to watch it at first. (It just goes to show, trailers and summaries are not to be relied upon. It was the same with BakaTest.) Also, the ED is awesome.
Akazukin-chan Goyoujin~
❧ The Autumn anime lineup looks promising. I need to finish some older series before the new anime start. That is, hoping the new anime won't be full of fail...
❧ I'd watch Katanagatari now (it's
really weird but kinda interesting, plus now I'm used to 40 min episodes) but I have to wake up early tomorrow. Remedial maths lesson again - if anything, self, think of the money!
Not that I have a very urgent need for money, but I need to think I'm doing this for some reason. Sure it's not because I love the kid.❧ At any rate his exam is at the end of August, so just a couple of weeks more. I need to start thinking about my own exams too, I had a look at September's schedule and started reading the book on Galois theory. Urrgh.
❧
Oh right, can't forget about videogames. I'm kind of excited about Pokémon - new game coming out and all - I'm more old school myself, but my brother just got SoulSilver and I'm tempted to hijack it. Plus I saw
THIS earlier on DA, and it's AWESOME.
❧ Also, Professor Layton 3, soon. We still don't have a title, but I'll bear with whatever stupid translation they bestow unto us. More puzzles! More Layton! More tea!
I'm quite pleased at the sudden onset of cold weather. I can't remember being able to have my afternoon tea in August, much less sleep under the covers. I approve of this.❧ And Basara. Oh gods, Basara. I don't know how it could possibly have happened. I mean, I got into it knowing that Masamune/Yukimura was kind of a big deal with the fandom, but in the end Yukimura's seiyuu is Souichirou Hoshi. I've hated him ever since Gundam SEED, because of Kira, and Yukimura is too much like Kira for me to care about him.
Or Oyakata-sama, for that matter. Luckily Masamune (and other weird people I approve of) steal the scene most of the time, so I was cool with that.
Until last episode (5th episode of Season 2), then it hit me like a sack full of bricks. Masamune and Kojuurou! THEY ARE MEANT TO BE!
It's so obvious, I can't understand why I haven't been shipping them like BURNING ever since the first episode.
Part of the fandom does, of course, and not a small one from what I gather. I don't understand why my slash goggles failed me. Not just that, I didn't even have a single ship in the fandom. Strange. It happens, but usually I consider all possible permutations of characters before giving up.

I was looking for something completely unrelated but Wikipedia tells me that "The fish is considered to be a lucky symbol in Italy."
Bwuh?
❧ Re-reading the entry's title, I think it's clear that I'm a lying liar who lies.
❧ Whoops, forgot to add: Autumn anime + Gundam + Masamune. There's also the issue of the Gundam 00 movie. I'll probably have to watch it (my brother's been talking about it ever since it was announced) but I'm not really looking forward to it. For me, Gundam 00 ended with episode 23 of Season 1. The most I can say about the new movie is, hey, Lockon's got two Haro!
Except he's not Lockon, so...Yeah, Masamune was relevant. Masamune reminds me a lot of Lockon, especially in episode 23. This might have
a lot to do with my obsession.
