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.
