Blogging Hellsing Ultimate episode 3

Des­pite hav­ing far more blood and gore, des­pite hav­ing people’s heads being ripped off and entrails spread across the floor, des­pite hav­ing 4 army folks thrown and skewered onto flag­polls, the dvd for this epis­ode only had a 15 rat­ing. The last two epis­odes were 18. I can only think of one pos­sible reason for this. Epis­ode 3 is the only one so far not to include a one second shot of Seras Vic­toria being groped by zom­bies. Makes you worry about human­ity just a bit.

August Roundup

I remem­ber think­ing earlier on this month that the only inter­est­ing thing to hap­pen was a bunch of fam­ous manga cre­at­ors com­plain­ing about pir­acy. What was more baff­ling about all that were west­ern fan­dom get­ting all angry even though they were spe­cific­ally talk­ing about Japan­ese fans. Whatever, anime fans can be really stu­pid no mat­ter where they come from, what else is new. But then the fam­ous anime movie dir­ector Satoshi Kon went and died, which put an awful downer on the whole month. Hope­fully the actual anime air­ing will lighten things up a bit.

…right?

Occult Academy episode 9

I could make this post entirely out of Maya expres­sion pic­tures and I’m sure most of you would go home happy. That seems to be what most people are watch­ing this show for by this stage.

No anime is dropped forever: Seirei no Moribito and Scrapped Princess

There’s no point in run­ning these ‘no anime is dropped forever’ posts if I don’t actu­ally watch the anime in ques­tion. Up this time is a duo of fantasy epics, Scrapped Prin­cess and Moribito. Asides from the fantasy sim­il­ar­it­ies and the fact these fea­tured in the same post, the reason I fea­tured these together will come appar­ent towards the end.

Fall 2010 Anime Season Preview

This post ori­gin­ally ended with ‘+chart v2’ but then Chart­fag brought out his Amaz­ing Chart! So my work was done and I could go back to doing my usual super detailed, highly inform­at­ive, world fam­ous Cart Driver Sea­son Previews!

Inform­a­tion for this is taken from ANN, Moon­phase, Moetron, vari­ous offi­cial web­sites and ran­dom people on twit­ter, for­ums and blogs who I get most of this totally reli­able info from (but not MAL. As user friendly as it may be com­pared to many other web­site, the inform­a­tion from there is notori­ous for being wrong an awful lot of the time. Don’t use MAL for sea­son pre­views folks, trust me on this).

Occult Academy episode 8

Poor old Smile and JK. They were both big fans of Tokyo God­fath­ers. RIP Satoshi Kon. I’ve still not seen any of his movies. I have seen Para­noia Agent and Mag­netic Rose though, both of which are very good. Espe­cially Mag­netic Rose, highly recom­mend that if you feel in the mood to have your mind blown. I’ve also noticed that the first anime he worked on, Roujin Z, is one of the many assor­ted 80’s and early 90’s OVA’s that I down­loaded on a whim, so I guess that decides what I’m watch­ing next. Gotta wait until I get to Eng­land though to watch his movies. DVD rental ser­vices in Ire­land have a pretty miser­able selec­tion and sure as hell don’t have any Satoshi Kon movies.

Any­way, back to Occult Academy.

No anime is dropped forever 61–66

Artist

There is no such thing as drop­ping an anime forever. When I use the term ‘dropped’ that does not mean that’s the last I’ll see of that anime in my life. Drop­ping a show means that I don’t have the enthu­si­asm to watch this show cur­rently and at a later date I’ll return to that anime. This later date may be the time when I’m trapped on a desert island with noth­ing other than a dvd player and a ‘Lucky Star’ box­set, but I will one day return and give the anime another shot. With this in mind, com­bined with the fact that I’ve passed the 100 anime mark on my MAL account for anime I’ve dropped, I’ve decided that I’m going to take a look back at all those series I’ve dropped, recog­nise why I dropped them and eval­u­ate when I should give them another go.
