Duty Now For The.... Recent Past?!!
Woah! It seems to be getting harder all the time to get around to updating the old LiveJournal these days....! Even the minimal effort I was making to keep updating information on the new anime seasons has fallen severely off-track -- gah!! I haven't had time to really check out much of the new shows, or to do much of anything else it seems (aside from checking my regular roster of websites, communities, messageboards, etc.... and I'm even behind on that stuff!). Well, there is the MasQ event - the new monthly goth-fetish-alternative-music night for which I've been contributing DJ sets - so I've been scrambling a bit to get things together for that. Of course, I could avoid some of the scrambling if I could just get better organized here.... easier said than done, however! I also had a couple of minor upgrades done on the computer, which ended up costing me some major amounts of time in the process -- but at least I can properly connect my mp3 player now, which means.... I can actually use it now!
I've been focusing a bit more on tokusatsu shows when it comes to cultural priorities lately, although I've still got some anime titles and other things in the mix -- but I haven't gotten through NEARLY as much as I should have, it seems!! Aside from "Cutie Honey - The Live" (25 episodes), I haven't finished anything that runs more than 12-13 episodes per season in quite a while; but, at least I finally did finish a few cool things off, such as the awesome 13 ep.s of "Ultra Galaxy"!! {Or you could say that I finally ALLOWED myself to finish them, since I have a tendency to stretch them out for as long as possible! But, I do have to get to the end of them eventually if I want to keep starting new ones -- or it just gets to be ridiculous!!} I never did go back to check out those couple of shows I mentioned when I posted about the last Winter anime season.... maybe someday?! Now, the Spring season is over and the Summer one is underway; but, I think I'll be taking a similar wait-and-see approach to these too, for the most part! In any case, I've found a new favorite source for my information, thanks to the anime blogger Gia -- you can get her report of the Summer 2008 anime line-up, right here:

Also, my other favorite source has a report on it here:

For those who still haven't looked into the previous (Spring 2008) season, there's information on that too, of course....

A few things are stirring my interest out of these, but.... I don't know when I'll get a chance to look into them, at the rate I'm going! (I'm already in the middle of at least 2 or 3 dozen different series, as it stands!!) In any case, I've now done my LJ duty and gotten the information posted -- and if I actually get around to seeing any of these things, then maybe I'll drop a few more lines on the subject!
Really though, now that we're into the summer, it might be a good time to just let it slide for a bit and get out-and-about more (especially now that I've got my portable music situation straightened away okay). Well, we'll see!
