Suzuka Volume 4, a series which I'm really enjoying. Relationship drama without the angst. I like the light touch

School Rumble vol 3 - Still very funny, but its so close to the manga im laughing before the funny bits happen....

Tsubasa vol 5 - seems to be heading for a good ending of the season. Im prepared for disappointment tho.

Peach Girl vol 5 - woah.

Watched Tekkonkinkreet on DVD last night for the first time. Considering the Blu-Ray release, I'd have figured that Sony would have put in a dodgy transfer to big up the HD format, but the DVD was as good as the format gets when it comes to visual and sonic presentation.

The film itself was a tad disappointing. Unbearably beautiful, and well worth watching just for the spectacle, but it just failed to hook me, and while I'd get moments where I'd start to be emotionally invested, it would lose me with the next scene and the next cliche.

EDIT: Also watched Mushi-shi Volume 5, which was just pure awesome. Episodic storytelling just doesn't get better than this.

Finished watching Shingu last night, which was definitely worth my while. It's a sort of light-hearted angle on the whole teenagers defending the world scenario, and it focuses more on the mundanities of teenage life rather than the angst and the stress that comes with piloting giant mecha at the age of fifteen. It's fun and light-hearted, with some really nice characters. No one whines here. It's a sort of easy-listening anime.

Polished off Naruto 4:1 last night. The pace slows down after the Chunin exams arc, but for some reason I've enjoyed this volume most of all so far.

In my retro viewing, started in again on Trinity Blood and Mini Goddess.

Finally got round to watching Paprika last night, had it on my pending pile for 6 months!

Not Satoshi Kon's finest, but still a cracking film. I guess with the dream angle, you knew from the beginning there would be weird stuff on screen, it was integral to the story. With his other films, the weirdness snuck up on you unexpected, and was creepier for it.

Just finished watching the first 2 discs of bleach Season 2: Part 1 - So far, so good. the only thing thats really annoyed me so far is that thing that was pointed out in "what do you hate about anime" thread, where somebody says "computer" and somebody else says "computer?" and the other one
*guy runs up to hero, punches him in face*
hero - "ah! you have just hit me in the face"
me - "NOOOO! REEEEEALLY? (!)"

thankfully this sort of thing only happens occasionally

one more thing, the soul reapers are a bunch of gits!
