The received wisdom is that all the Key VNs on which these series (Air, Kanon, Clannad) are based are characterised by retard-moe, magical AIDS and syrupy sentimentalism; and either you like that sort of thing or you don't. Good point. ^^; I probably shouldn't be complaining so much...

Moar episodes of Kanon . Now watching episode 7. I guess it's growing on me. ._.' It's better than Air , at least. The fact that almost every female in the series acts about half her age continues to be grating as hell. Darned moe shows and their tendencies towards creepy levels of moe.

Finished watching Cowboy Bebop and rewatching Azumanga Daioh.

Also watched episode two of Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt.

Still the same stream of overused, unfunny sex jokes, along with Panty outdoing Tomo Takino in pointless jerkassery.

Blargh.

More Kanon.

Makoto had some incredible facial expressions this episode.

It still feels like 80% guy-encounters-cute-girls fluff, but at least it's enjoyable fluff. At least it's starting to pick up, what with Mai and her demon-fighting.

Gave the Kanon 2006 dub a try. While it's good, Ayu sounds too bratty ( uguu~ was bad enough in Japanese, but in English it just does not work) and Nayuki, though more natural, IMO, a little too deep. It contrasts awkwardly with the moe-moe. On the other hand, going back to the sub after...

Speaking of porno... sorta Watched the first episode of Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt . ...I feel like a bit of a sicko, typing out the name. ._.; The epic art style was the only real reason I wanted to watch it. Didn't care all too much for the premise. I found the first half to be kind of...

Sure thing.

Episode three of Kanon 2006 . While still laden with moe (mreh, inevitable >_>), it's a lot better than Air . Comedy that works, slightly better character designs, and writing that doesn't give me the feeling that I'm going to be slogging through the whole thing. ...Except for th...

The dots are oddly-placed--if they were supposed to be vowels, they belong right under the letters, not off between them, and if they're yuds, they shouldn't be hanging around near the bottom like that. Confusing Hebrew is confusing. >< Well, on the right, it could be "הל

Halfway through episode 13 of Paranoia Agent.

Congratulations, Ikari. =D

65/101.

Watched half of the first episode of Ikki Tousen for no reason (apart from that I probably hate myself). ;

God, what an awful show. Why did it get three more seasons?

My list: 10. Van Hohenheim ( Fullmetal Alchemist ) 9. Mamimi Samejima ( Fooly Cooly ) 8. Orange Haro ( Gundam 00 ) 7. Ed ( Cowboy Bebop ) 6. Isaac & Miria ( Baccano! ) 5. Ahiru ( Princess Tutu ) 4. Sakaki ( Azumanga Daioh ) 3. Ayumu "O...

Watching episode two of K-On!. Might as well give it another chance. ._.

"She's gentle, fluffy, and cute."

...?

Paranoia Agent , episode 9. Gah. Obnoxious gossipy hens. EDIT: On the topic of 4chan, is anyone else having problems with /a/ loading? I keep getting the same page with the banner of Ninamori in a green hat and threads about Raildex, power levels, Strike Witches, Mitsudomoe, and some image macro ab...

I think I might have had my first lucid dream last night, or at least something close to one.

It didn't go any further than "hey, I'm dreaming", at which point it fell apart. Which was disappointing, because I've heard lucid dreams are awesome things. D:

You've never heard shojo romances/harem anime called misogynistic before? How is zis possible? SSD said to have never heard the cooking staple called misogynistic. She didn't say anything about never hearing shojo romances/harem anime called misogynistic. ...jeez, that's a mess of doubl...

Since my DVDs are on loan, and even if they weren't, I'd be too lazy to get off my fat-ass to check them, what's wrong with the animation in 6 and 17 again? The Ghiblification in 11 never bothered me at all, I've never even noticed anything off in these other two episodes. Episode s...

Princess Tutu I'm awful at summaries, so if it's alright, I'll be copying and pasting from TV Tropes. ^_^; Princess Tutu is the story of a duck who wants to rescue a lonesome prince. It's also the story of a girl who attends ballet school, although she's not very good. It's ...

Something that's bugged me...

I agree that most of the action arc's artwork was off, but why don't episode six and seventeen's art/animation get nearly as much hate? They both looked awful.
