I absolutely love how avant-garde this video is. I really don't care how other people feel about Lady Gaga, I think she's absolutely brilliant. Yes, I do believe she's brilliant because of her attention whoreness clothing. She's not like all your other typical cookie-cutter pop singers. I like her because she's different and she's absolutely over the top. 

I was peaking at the Fall Preview Guide on ANN and decided on a couple of shows I'm watching. Honestly, I don't really read all the reviews. I look at the picture they provide me and the score. If the picture looks interesting and they gave the show a rather high score, I'll read the review. Out of all the reviews, so far, Tegami Bachi and The Book of Bantorra seem like the most interesting ones. When I began writing this there were only reviews for nine shows. I've just been really slow on updating this. I think I may pick up two more shows but I probably won't follow their weekly release.


My fall anime:

Kobato.

LYK OMG Y WULDT I WATCH DIS
I've been waiting for Kobato. to come out ever since they announced it was going to be anime; back during the pimping of anime at the Tokyo Anime Fair. I never read Kobato. because I know I can't sit through month long waits for new chapters. Also, now that Yen Press is going publish Kobato. here I'm just going to wait for it to come out until I read it. Yen Press, you're amazing and I'm looking forward to what will become of you.

Miracle Train

At first I wanted to watch this show but the reviews on ANN make it sound really dull. I was expecting this show to be humorous and somewhat educational; I was expecting it to be similar to Hetalia. I guess learning about train lines from other countries isn't too thrilling or hilarious as expected. If I do end up watching this show it will be because I'm really bored and I'm watching it just for the seiyuu.

Tegami Bachi

Seemed to have one of the higher scores on ANN of all the shows being reviewed. Two reviewers gave it a 3.5 and one gave it a 4, on scale of 1 to 5, so I thought that was a rather score and it needs some checking out. This anime also looks like it will be really pretty. Depending on how much I like this show and I may even start reading the manga.

The Book of Bantorra

Akira Ishida. Really, there's no need for any further explanation.
Actually, I wanted to watch this because it was also one of the other shows that received a higher rating. It also sounds pretty interesting. It's about a world where dead people turn into books. Although, these books are slabs of stone ... Anyway, these stones books are stored in a library that is maintained by the Armed Librarians. I guess these Armed Librarians are protecting the books from some religious group or something.


Shit that needs watching, except for the one I finished:

Baccano!

NEED TO WATCH THIS BEFORE THE END OF THE MONTH.
FUNimation is showing this on Hulu, with the dubs. I've really wanted to this show since seeing an AMV at ALA. Then I really wanted to watch the dubs ever since hearing the dub-clip at AX. I've been waiting for the dubs so I don't spoil myself with the Japanese audio. Most of the time I don't mind subs or dubs. I usually like whatever I hear first, although there are just some dubs that are horrible right from the start. Also, if a series has Akira Ishida in it I will always watch subs.

Hanasakeru Seishonen

I really need to catch up on what's going on in this show. I got interested in this because it's based of the manga by Natsumi Itsuki, who created Jyu Oh Sei. I half blame Crunchyroll for the reason I'm behind. For whatever reasons the decided to start simulcasting this show when it was already 16 episodes into the series. Way to be slowpoke.jpg, Crunchyroll. As of now, I've watched 14 episodes and the most recent episode that has aired is episode 25, so I'm not too far behind. You'll be hearing more about this show later because it's so ridiculously bad that it's good, or something like that.

Neo Angelique Abyss -Second Age-

Why am I even going to watch this? I haven't even started on this but I did watch Neo Angelique Abyss, the first one. This show sort of sucks but I was watching it because I was really bored when I watched the first one. I think what kept me going though was the thoughts of, "Hey, this wouldn't be so bad if it was a RPG game." I also had to continue watching it because Miyu Irino is invading like all my anime that I'm watching; he's in 4/9 of these shows that I have listed.

Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom~

Speaking of Miyu Irino, he played one of the main characters here. I finished this series last week, I think. I finished it whenever FUNimation had the last episode up on their video player, which was a week later than when it aired in Japan. Thank you FUNimation for uploading videos on a public server. Thank you people that downloading those videos in order to leech them all over the place. Phantom was an interesting watch. However, I always felt like the show was missing something. I'm just going to pretend the two year time skip never happened. What is it with shows sucking after time skips?

Sgt. Frog

I may or may not catch up on this, according to what is uploaded on FUNimation. I've only seen the first four episodes while Mar and Kyoko are all caught up on FUNi's player releases. This show is just so silly and doesn't really have any time of plot, so I know I'm not missing out on anything. Normally, I don't really watch silly shows like these but it will give me something to watch Kyoko and Mar on the weekends.

Soul Eater

I need to catch up on Soul Eater. I'm aware that this show is over so I'm not technically catching up on anything, but I need to catch-up on what's on FUNimation's video player. I love the backgrounds, the Sun, the Moon, the colors, and Excalibur. Honestly, I'm more interested in this show for the background artwork than I am in the characters. The characters are okay, I guess I haven't seen enough of this show to get to where I actually care about them, but I do enjoy their antics. I've seen the first ten episodes and I don't even know how many episodes there are now on FUNi.

Alright, so change of plans, I'm not going to my grandparents' house today. I was actually supposed to have gone yesterday but my mom wanted to wait and said we'll just go tomorrow instead. Now that yesterday's tomorrow is today, and I'm still not at my grandparents', I'm leaving tomorrow, again.

I packed up all of my stuff yesterday, didn't take very long since I had gathered up the few belongings that I had a week prior. My plan is to go to my granparents' and clean out my room there so that we can move all of my mother's crap in more easily. I also have clean out my whole room because I'll be changing rooms.

The true motive for me wanting to go to my grandparents' is so that I would have to help with the physical moving as little as possible. I don't mind helping pack crap up but I do mind all the heavy lifting and walking back and forth down the hall and down stairs in order to load up a vehicle. I also have to return this monitor by tomorrow so that I can get a refund and if I'm stuck here without a monitor then I can't have internets. Since my grandparents have a computer I'll be able to still have internets ~ I'm so cunning.


Short post is short since Kyoko already knows most of the details anyway.
