I have to confess
re: Naruto -- Kaguya is really cool.
I hope Kishimoto doesn't waste the potential here though. It can swing either way at this point (i.e. complete shit or reasonably interesting). I REALLY hope he's hinting at some sort of future role for Sakura to play.
Although goddamn I really have to stop calling certain characters Jenova and Sephiroth.

Bleach is not even worth talking about.

Fairy Tail actually had a string of good chapters from a characterization POV but the plot still annoys/bores me beyond words. It's too damn messy, and I don't mean that in a good way.
(I find the series tends to be at its best when it focuses on Lucy and her keys.)

Big One Piece revelation from last week = HOLY CRAP.
I cannot fucking wait to see how right (or wrong) my reading of certain characters turns out to be.

Detective Conan "Scarlet" arc: <333333
I don't think this was as surprising as previous plot arcs (I've long suspected certain aspects that were revealed), but it was a satisfying arc nonetheless, I think, in terms of tying up loose ends that have been dragging on for a few years.
Honestly I hope Jodie gets to kick more ass from now on. I could tolerate her slip in capability since her big arc by chalking it down to grief/mourning -- but pleeeeeease let her get back to pulling badass stunts now Gosho.

Was going to talk about:
- Bastion/Transistor (mostly the music not the actual games)
- Harvest Moon dramaaaaa (tl;dr -- localization company Natsume is making their own 3DS entry because they own the franchise name here; XSEED is getting the actual next "Bokujou Monogatari" entry which I actually really want because I LOVE LOVE LOVE the art style for this entry).
- something else....
But too lazy.

Oh right -- I got a free one year Scribd subscription (they revamped their site as well as their business model), so... rec me books?
(Honestly I haven't been reading or watching anything at all this year though.)
