Anime marathon, go!

[soc_puppet]

I have discovered what I am going to do with my copious free time this summer! Apparently, I'm dedicating it to watching anime :Db

...Yeah, I don't know either.

Today, I finished .hack//SIGN, which I picked up from Half-Price Books ages ago.

I enjoyed it! I liked the music, and pretty much all of the characters, and it did indeed make me want to play the game(s) more. 'Cuz I'd already mostly played through the first one, and this really does add something to it.

I cared for pretty much all the characters. Silver Knight was probably the exception, but I don't think we were supposed to like him :P He did get a little less stuffy towards the end, and it was totally cool to see Subaru trounce him politically, though.

For the first four plus episodes, I was staring at the screen and going, "Man, where are all these people getting Tsukasa/Subaru from?" 'Cuz I wasn't seeing it. It didn't help that they had yet to be on the same screen. I honestly felt Mimiru/Tsukasa more. And then, wham, they were both in the same place at the same time, and I totally got it. Those two were pretty much focused 100% on each other. Or at least 90%. And it was sweet and smooshy and yeah, the romantic in me totally ships it. A part of me still likes Mimiru/Tsukasa more, and the OT3-er in me is quite annoyed that there isn't really enough development of the Mimiru/Subaru relationship to justify a completely three-way threesome, but it's definitely waffy and cute.

I found the ending somewhat confusing, but I probably shouldn't have been expecting much in the first place ^^a

Finding out about Aura's origin, seeing more of Helba, and meeting Crim were totally awesome, definitely. And I liked the extra episode about Mimiru's early gameplay and her mentor, though the way the other extra episode just seemed to be a clipshow/summary episode kinda annoyed me once I'd seen the first one.

All in all, I quite enjoyed it, and would probably watch again :3b


Next up, I think I'm going to finally watch all of Princess Tutu, and probably follow it up with Madlax. After that, I'm not entirely sure where I'll drift. Possibly I'll finally get around to watching the Magic Knight Rayearth anime, or maybe Dead Like Me (which, not an anime, but I seem to be having fun marathoning, so). And a part of me is definitely demanding I mainline Detective Conan like there's no tomorrow ;)

And now, it's time for fun with rats ♥

Iiii could probably stand to watch almost anything Detective Conan, since I've seen almost none of it ^^a My knowledge of the series is kinda based first on fics and then on some of the comics :D;;; Argh must work on Communications argh argh.

Oh! I've heard that girl/time thing is good! And yeah. So much to watch, so little time :{ *dutifully adds Merlin to the list*

Hahah, when I get into a canon, I really become obsessed with it. Example: I marathoned all of the Detective Conan manga in less than 24 hours, overnight. Yeah.

I heard so too! And it looked shiny, so I DLed it and cannot wait to check it out. :<b *Pfft*

Good gravy O_O Now that is what I call mainlining a canon! *ttly impressed*

I'll have to track down DLs, then :3 So glad we have that box that lets us play .avi files on the television.

I'd pretty much only do it for manga though, cuz Anime takes a while to watch. At least for manga, I can control how fast I go through it. :>

... Lucky!

Yeah, that's why I usually favor manga over anime X3 Thought I'd try something different over the summer, though ;)

Don't I know it XD
