Seasons Greetings!

First off, happy holidays to all of you! I hope you’re all enjoying December and that you’ve got snow where you’re at (or at least not the muck and sludge that I get here from an overabundance of rain…). ^^


Anyway, having just finished finals, I’ve found myself with a bit of free time before my flight home tomorrow (or later today, really). I should be packing, but it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything here, so I figured I’d just do a short update on various things.

I actually stopped watching anime for a while during the last two seasons, partly because I was sick of seeing certain types of shows (they weren’t bad, per se, just very stereotypical), partly because I was still recovering from my untimely visit to the hospital, and partly because I got caught up in gaming. The only shows that I watched in the last two seasons were Soul Eater and Kurenai (which was already well over and done with by the time I saw it).

All that aisde, I’ve quite happily made a return to the world of anime with a handful of shows:

I’m not dead yet~!

Well, sort of…

Real life has gotten a little bit too busy lately. Work and school has taken most of my time away, and the rest of the time, if I’m not sleeping, I’m either watching anime or gaming. Blogging just hasn’t been that big of a priority for me lately. Having acquired a Xbox 360 and a PS2 since I last posted here didn’t really help either.

That being said, I still intend to write up What’s On for Fall 2008. Yeah, I know it’s already almost a month into that season. I’ll be changing the format of What’s On this time to show what I am currently watching. I had this great ambition a month ago of posting my preview before Omni of Random Curiosity posts his, but that dream is long gone, so I’ll settle with what I can salvage.

A little update on my partners in crime. Tari, as far as I know, is ultra busy with school at the moment. Even I haven’t interact with him much online lately. geartap is MIA, and if you want a better update of his status, you should ask Tari. Of course you would have to find him first.

I’ll post up “What’s On” for Fall 2008 when I feel like it. For now, I’m going back to playing Tales of Vesperia.

Summer 2008 – What’s On

Yeah, yeah. I know I’m really late this time, not only compared to last time, but also to the start of the season. This season already started, and I’m only doing this now. Unfortunately, school, work, and prepping for my upcoming vacation (starting Tuesday) really took up the bulk of my time.

Either way, now that I’m back on the blog, I’m here to write up what’s going to air this season

Continue reading to see what’s on this season and what I recommend.

New Series Announcement – Mai-HiME New Project

You heard it here third, people (first being ANN and second probably being some other blog)! There will be a new Mai-HiME project coming.

New Series Announcement – School Rumble San Gakki

So, School Rumble San Gakki (Third Term) is finally official, ANN reports earlier today. If you head over to the series home page, there is a promotional video showing there.

Still Here, Still Sick, Still The Only One Blogging

Hi, guys. I’m still here. Like the title says, I’m still sick from a few weeks ago. I’ve lost so many pounds that I thought I would never lose.

Battle for the Truth

I have been fighting the flu for the past week. A really bad flu. So bad, I actually took sick leave from work. Being the workaholic that I am, It’s very rare that I take consecutive days off work, but I did it in the past week. I’m still fighting the last bit of it right now. Work was hell today because of that.

This also means I was in no shape to update my Spring 2008 post. For those of you that are actually waiting for it, I’m sorry.

I should be able to update it in the next few days. If not, next Friday, at the latest. I actually have a day off everything next Friday, so there’s no excuse for me not to update it on that day.

There isn’t much to update anyways. I just found a couple more series I might want to put to the 3-ET. Pending my schedule, of course, but that haven’t stopped me before.

I’ll be back when I update my Spring 2008 post.

Episode Reviews and Whatnot

Unfortunately, following my release from the hospital, we’ve switched routers in my home network, and have now run into issues with it.

This doesn’t really affect much, but does mean that until I figure these problems out, I can’t actually get my hands on any raws or subs, which consequently means that I can’t write about them.

I’ll figure this out soon, hopefully. I’m feeling mostly well enough (usually… sometimes I feel worse, but meh, I’ve got a couple months to recover, and I really want something to do, like watching anime or reading manga, haha) to do this, so wish me luck. xD

Edit: Got everything working again, so I’ll try to catch up on my reviews in a bit. Might just do a short review for all the episodes I missed in one post. We’ll see.

Spring 2008 Update

I was just looking around the interweb, and I’ve found some more information on some of the series that I previously knew nothing about. Given the new revelation (albeit a small one), I will be updating my list of what I’m watching in Spring 2008.

The list will be updated within a couple of days. I will make a new post when I update the list, so check back often.

Friends
