so I finished Monster!

and--yeah!

Some things I expected happened and some things I was terrified would happen did not actually happen and some things I did not expect happened, and, basically, it is one big thumbs-up from me. I was not traumatized forever! Sometimes that is a good thing. (And sometimes I traumatize myself by immediately going to ( Read more... )

IT IS A POST. I was going to do a very short review of the last four episodes of Monster, since I skipped last week (I have never been able to keep to a strict reviewing schedule, even with things I adore), and it was going to go "I am uncertain if it is facepalmy or completely adorable that Tenma's former patients form a fanclub", but then I had ( Read more... )

COMPUTER ADVENTURES. For the past, um, while, I do not really remember how long but it has been a while, my laptop's power cord has become a diva and only works under very specific conditions (mostly being at the exactly right angle, which tended to change), and then it got to be so that I had to pinch the cord for it to work, and then that didn't ( Read more... )

Well I should probably talk about what I've been doing for the past--nine days, seriously? Damn. Anyway, quick non-spoilery summary of Monster 44-48: pretty much at this point all my reactions are "HOLY SHIT GRIMMER", because. Holy shit Grimmer. Also, Detective Suk = D: D: D: and Tenma = :D :D :D and pretty blond lady = so called it, oh this series ( Read more... )

( Episodes forty-one and forty-two of Monster, in two sentences: I really like Grimmer BUT HE IS TERRIFYING, and, AUGH NAIL CLIPPERS D: D: D: D: )

( Monster episodes 39 and 40, in which I finally get to see that guy TVTropes kept going on about, well you took your sweet time didn't you )

It is funny how time passes, because I could have sworn I meant to do a Monster write-up yesterday, but then uh I ended up playing Umineko for like three hours until I realized it was time for bed, so um yes! In any case. Episodes thirty-seven and thirty-eight of Monster.

...asdfghjklllllll;

( In which shit goes the hell down, the end credits are finally explained, and you'd think libraries would have sprinkler systems but I guess not )

On one hand episodes 35 and 36 of Monster are getting to the DRAMATIC MID-SERIES CONVERGENCE that is making me flail just at the very thought of it (the entire cast! in the same room! OH MY HEART); on the other hand, uh, part of it was kind of lolarious in a way that is either awkward as hell or brilliant, I am not sure which. Possibly both!

( Domo. Domo? Domo! In conclusion, domo. )

Today is Tuesday, which means that yesterday was Monday, which means it is time for Monster babble! I AM CERTAIN YOU ARE FASCINATED.

( Episodes thirty-three and thirty-four, in which there is not only lots of Tenma but also lots of Johan and lots of Dieter and really if Nina was in them it would have been the perfect formula for my love )

okay so

when I made jokes about Tenma being a Disney heroine and birds hanging out on his shoulders and so forth

I did not expect that to actually happen.

--this series, you guys, I can't even.

( Episodes thirty-one and thirty-two of Monster, in which the main characters get to do stuff again and Themes Start Resurfacing )
