Just As I Wrote Just Minutes Ago...

Since I have nothing substantial to say because nothing ever happens in my life (which is a good thing, I suppose, considering what happens in other people's lives), I decided to, instead of writing something, you know, deep and interesting, just list next season anime series with my shortened opinion in one sentence (or two. Or three). I don't ( Read more... )

Kaibutsu-kun is getting an anime? Hmmmmm. Depending on the cast, I might actually watch.

What kind of kindle? I have a Kindle Touch and I love it. Mostly I read a lot of free books on it, but I actually paid for a book recently and ...it's still a book. :3 I liked it. I wish there was a program to donate or trade in or something your old books and get the kindle edition, but...yeah right, you know?

I dunno about the Fire and all those tablet-like ones. I like the e-Ink display on the old-school ones (if the Touch counts as old school?). It's surprisingly pleasant for reading. It took me a couple of Holmes short stories (one or two) to get used to the page transition, but now I don't even notice it. It was totally worth it. My mom has one of the older click-a-real-button-to-change-pages ones and I prefer the Touch to the Buttons. it's a little more sensitive than some touchscreens, but it responds to cotton swabs! (In case your fingers are too grimy to change pages? I dunno.)

All in all this season looks a lot more promising than it has for years. IMO the only thing it severely lacks is mecha, or rather a Space Opera to be precise. No Gundam, no Macross. Not even a random SF-LN adaption. It's sad ;_;.

I was thinking of a run-of-the-mill regular Kindle. I actually resent touch screens *lol* (I mean, I sort of got used to the touch screen of my new cell phone which isn't that new anymore but I can't say I'm thrilled about it) but if you say it's better, I might think about shelling out the extra euros. What about if you don't read? I mean, does the touch screen switch itself off or does it have a lock screen like a phone? Because if it reacts to cotton swabs it might react to other things in an average handbag? (yes, I'm totally clueless and, well, I live out in the sticks among people who have been using the same cell phone ever since they first got it in 1995 - no one I know around here has one. I suspect most of my co-workers and the top-boss don't even know e-readers exist...)

I wish there was a ( ... )

i'm joining you in that trench where we battle Hiiro S2 lol

Brains Base may do well in animating Amnesia but why do I get the feeling we'll get another FRIENDZONE ENDING?

Yay! I really started to think I was the only one! ^_^

The Friend Zone Ending Syndrome has plagued every otoge adaption since HaruToki season 1 ;_;. I really don't get it. I mean, do they seriously think that fangirls will refuse watching it because it might not their bishie of choice who's getting the heroine? Only Hakouki went a definite route and, hey, I like Okita but I didn't mind that they took the Hijikata-route and fangirls around the world apparently didn't have a problem with it either. I hope they give Amnesia a proper ending.

I just also read that they want to animate Brothers Conflict! Looks like they found themselves another formula *lol* (but, seriously, why on earth won't they animate Wand of Fortune?! Sure, they'd be a bit late to cash into the Harry Potter craze but at least they could create a great story, even if it ended in the Friends Zone! Even Deen would have trouble botching that one)

don't worry, comrade. I suffered thru Arcana Famiglia, I'm all prepared for Hiiro s2! sobs

do they seriously think that fangirls will refuse watching it because it might not their bishie of choice who's getting the heroine?Apparently, they do. IDK man, I guess it's because we're non-japanese otoge fans, we dont really care which route they animate, AS LONG THEY ANIMATE A ROUTE PROPERLY. Maybe the jpn fans will pull a tantrum if they dont see their fave get the girl ( ... )

*lol* Yeah, Arcana Famiglia was another one of those cases. However, on the one hand, I almost expected a merry Nova-Felicita-Liberta threesome ending, on the other hand I'm sort of glad it didn't happen outright (because I don't like either of them =P ( ... )
