Currently Watching

Due to computer problems, I am limited to an ipod touch for watching shows. As a result, all other shows are postponed except for a select few that I have decided to watch on *sigh* Youtube. I hate streaming shows, but this is the only way I can watch anything. Here's the list (it's a lot larger, but like stated earlier, computer problems prevent me from watching anything):

K-ON!! (S2) - Cruelly depressing in a "your lifelong friends will never be this nice" kind of way. KyoAni never fails to make a splendidly animated show, and it helps that it's marketed towards an audience of moe fans, a demographic which I do not completely fall under (yet, at least). (8 of 11 eps watched)

Arakawa Under The Bridge - Studio Shaft usually does well with a gag series, especially under director Akiyuki Shinbo's unique style ("let's get more closeups of their eyes"). Hiroshi Kamiya once again has a lead role and does not disappoint. (8 of 11 eps watched)

Bleach - When it's not being a subpar and disgustingly predictable shounen fighter series, it can be entertaining to watch...AHAHAHA no. Out of the 23 episodes that I've managed to sit through, I've enjoyed probably 2 or 3. Not looking good, but hopefully it will get interesting. (23 of fuckinginfinity eps watched)


More thorough reviews will follow later.

Katakana Charts

Katakana Chart, for my future reference. Just ignore it, I needed a place to store it that wasn't on a USB stick.




I have no reviews ready yet due to my computer being in a state of disrepair (which is an understatement), but it's a guarantee that they will be anime reviews of Summer 2010.

Bamboo Blade Picked Up


Thank God for Funimation On Demand and Youtube uploads. I'm not a big fan of dubs, but I need to watch something to keep me entertained besides keeping up with the new Summer Season on American TV. Luckily, there were subtitled episodes of this show on Youtube.

Now, in case you don't know what kendo is, good, because I don't either. Judging from the show, it's sort of like fencing except with bamboo sticks (or blades, hence the title). Unlike fencing though, you also get to wear armor, thus it's automatically a sport for pussies.


I take that back.
