Katte Nakou Ze!

I have been pretty anti-social lately, because work has left me exhausted.  What I have been doing to relax is watch anime.  I got PS3 Media Server working on my computer, and have been watching a lot of shows the last few months, and I've been wanting to post something about that, so here you go!
  • Watched all of Digimon Adventure season 1, and rewatched all of Digimon Adventure 02.
    • I had never actually seen all of the first season before; it is now tied with Digimon 02 for me.  I really liked it.
    • Favorite season 1 erabareshi kodomo: KOUSHIROU.  By far.  Though Takeru's adorable...  wai wai
    • Favorite season 1 partner digimon: GOMAMON.  I just really like his personality a lot.
    • Actually learned the names of all the crests and who has each.  I glossed over that aspect in 02 before.
  • Started watching the newest Digimon series, Digmon Xros Wars.
    • What?!  There's a new digimon series?!?!  Yes!!!  It started airing in Japan about 3 months ago.
    • I am liking it, but it is generic in some ways.  Too early to form a complete opinion.
    • I like the new goggleboy, Kudou Taiki.  He has goggles.  Does anything else even MATTER?
  • Got completely hooked on the anime INAZUMA ELEVEN.
    • Summary: Jr. High Boys (and some girls) playing soccer.  With Powered-Up Moves.  And No Respect For Physics.  At All.
    • But it's not really about soccer.  It's about believing in yourself, never giving up, friendship, and teamwork.
    • The main character, Endou, is voiced by the seiyuu who does Naruto.  And Gomamon.  I hope you now have a mental image of Gomamon, wearing a forehead protector, head-butting a soccer ball.  I know I do.  (If this inspires fan art in some way, I may go "squee" inappropriately.)
    • Favorite characters:  KIDOU -- OMG, Cape AND Goggles, and that smirk that says, "I know I can beat you".  And Tachimukai.  And Toramaru.  And MAX.  My God, Max and his damn hat make me squee.  For no good reason.  And Endou, of course.  And I love Fubuki and watching his internal struggle play itself out.  And Fidio makes me smile...  Perhaps there are too many for me to list here.  ^^;
    • When I was in elementary school, I played on an AYSO team for 2 years as a fullback.  Only organized sport I ever did.
    • Somehow, I got kagomechan completely hooked on this show.  I think she's plotting to infect others...
    • dustyjack :  The band that does the OP songs has a nice horn section.  I know you like that sort of thing.  ^_^
  • Just last night, started watching Oofuri (Ookiku Furikabutte).
    • Summary: High school boys playing baseball.
    • Main character is so incredibly MOE.  He cries a lot.  I'm in LOVE...
    • Ssssh.  kagomechan doesn't know I'm cheating on boys-playing-soccer with boys-playing-baseball yet.
  • Started re-watching Kateikyo Hitman Reborn from the beginning.
    • I've gotten to the start of the Varia arc, so I have a long ways to go to catch up.
    • I don't remember exactly how far I got before, but I'm not sure I quite reached the end of Varia.
    • First, OP, "Drawing Days", is one of my favorite OP songs ever.  I loves it to death.
Finally, some important dates:

Tuesday, September 21st:  Season Premiere of GLEE...
Friday, October 15th: How To Train Your Dragon released on DVD and Blu-ray, including new animated short!

And in the "good thing I have a lot of vacation banked, maybe it is time to use it" department:

Tuesday, October 19th: Fallout: New Vegas released.
Tuesday, October 26th: Fable III released.
Tuesday, November 2nd: Gran Turismo 5 released.
