Sometimes my dorkdom worries me
I actually typed up another entry before I typed up this one that was more reflective but I think I'll just save that for another day. I know my last few entries have been kinda angsty so I'll save you from that for now. This entry wasn't angsty just me thinking about life and stuff, I guess.
So life has been well, life. Chaotic? Awsome? Sucky? Well...kinda. Ya know when your at that stage in your life where you can count the reasons you are both happy but at the same time depressed. Kinda wierd, huh? One of the main reasons that I haven't been posting is because just when I think of something to post about I get all angsty, I think that's due to the fact, that I tend to be very contemplative/critical of my life whenever I'm in my bedroom doin' nothing.
But yeah, this weekend was pretty fun. Saw Joe. P and Carson, two people I haven't seen in like FOREVER. But it was good to see them and it was really fun to hang out with both of them. Saturday was the Abundant Grace Talent Show/Midsummer cast party, both were fun and awsome. Though I'd have to say the funniest part of the night was having four drunk gay guys touch my boobs HAHAHA. Gotta love troupe and their endless supply of gay men :siiiiigh XD XD XD
Alright so I wanted to discuss the anime I've been watching lately though I'll put that behind the cut for the anime dorks out there who actually want to read it and put it under the cut so those non anime ppl don't have to read through my dorkdom. (Jim will appreciate the title)
So out of the three anime that I've seen two of them are great bordering on incredible and then one of them is bordering on par/suck. Lovely Complex is the first one out of the three that I watched and that I watched over Thanksgiving break, and it's probably one of the best romantic comedy animes I've seen as of late. The style of it is unique as well as some of the drawings of the faces (some of their faces can really be comical). Plus it's got the unique feature that everyone speaks in Kansai accent , which is rare to have in a show, since usually you maybe have one or two in an anime not pretty much the entire task. Plus the whole focus of how the main couple being such extreme and rare in heights; i.e. the girl is exceptionally tall and the boy is exceptionally short, never seems to get old. Plus, her best friend Nobu, is now one of my favorite characters.
Then I watched Busou Renkin, which up until the last probably 4 episodes was pretty decent. Then they just got too big, too typical, and too way out of proportion for it too handle. And on top of that I think that was probably the first ending I've ever really despised, that even includes the open ending ones which I hate. It could've been done so much better and so much more entertaining but in the end it just completely fell flat for me. Also, I didn't know if they were making fun of the genre or they were just being insanely stereotypical, but the show just seemed to be like the epitomy of shonen anime. In fact too describe it it's probably like Bleach, Nartuo, Full Metal Alchemist, and DBZ all roled in to one. Though I did like some of the characters, some aspects of the show really got on my nerves. If it was a parody, which I've heard, then I'd say it was very well done. But if it was just a regular anime, then I'd have to say it sucked a lot.
AND I'm getting back into Death Note. For those of you who watch/read it, I'm at the point after Higuichi, and well uuuh...something happens, but it's uh probably one of the bigger spoilers in the series so I uh kinda can't tell you. BTW, that episode was extremely well done, as well as most of the episodes in Death Note. If there's one thing I love in an anime/movie/form of entertainment is the effective use of imagery, and let me just say the creators of Death Note pull it off perfectly. Hell I think people could discuss hour and hours the imagery in episode 25 (the one I just finished) alone. Plus, I love the fact that the series is jam packed with suspense and just is filled with twists and turns, and so far isn't turning out to be predictable. I'll probably wanna read the manga after I"m done watching the anime, to see if they are any different, though I've been told that the anime closely follows the manga, so we'll see I guess.
For those who care, I'M BACK INTO THE TWILIGHT BOOK SERIES. YAAAAAY!!! Took me freakin' long enough I know, I'm about 200 or so pages through Eclipse and I'm loving every minute. I was gonna go into an analysis/critique but I'll just do that when I'm done I guess. Plus I've read through New Moon and Eclipse without voicing what I think, well on live journal anyways, so I'm kinda overdue on that. In due time all in due time.
Speaking of Eclipse, WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU SA?!?! I haven't seen you online in like a week, I miss thee and our vampiric and fan girl discussions and all that jazz. Plus are you up to date on Bleach?!?! Sign on, PLEEEEEEEEEEASE!!
As you see at the bottom I'm gonna start tagging my entries. I think it would be better to manage/navigate through entries, plus I know a lot of people do it, and it would be a lot more convenient to find entries on a particular subject.
I just realized that Christmas is coming up :groooooooooooooooan: which means that I'm gonna have to start going out and getting presents. I think I might just do what I did last year and get candy for most people and get actual presents for the ones that matter. Yeah I think I'll do that, just cuz I don't have enough money to get actual presents.
