i’ve been starting a lot of random series lately. i think i need a list.

defense devil
from the authors of shin angyo onshi. i really like the art and the premise of the story, but it feels like it needs to be more connected. right now it’s a few short arcs with some connecting plot in the background – kinda like khr when it started out. i want to see kukabara return to his true form.

bakuman
i told myself i wouldn’t start this series and then i saw it the other day and the cover looked nicely designed so i bought it. *fail* there’re only two volumes out in chinese right now, but the manga analysis is really interesting, and it’s very readable after i got over the thing with azuki… the calculation behind manga serialization is interesting. kinda makes me think about the calculation behind THIS one though. i like takagi. x_x

beelzebub
i hate how he draws females. x_x other than that, the story is decent; battle manga with a little twist and a pretty solid lead character.

until death do us part
there are conspiracies and underground stuff and SWORDS! >:D i like. the arcs are way too short, but the setting is new enough and there are enough battles and mysterious things to keep it going.

blazer drive
typical shounen. kinda like naruto. even the ART looks like naruto. i do like the stickers thing.

kuroshitsugi
uh. i think we have a successor to CLAMP here. pointless drama and suspense, check. “meaningful and dramatic eyes”, check. boy on boy subtext, check. pretty art, check. why is this shounen?

bloody monday
i like the conspiracies, but… this is pretty far-fetched. high school hacker foils evil evil plans through… uh… tactical use of friends? somehow they win against very experienced assassins? i mean… really? (kujo is pretty though.)

drifters
i always mean to read hellsing, but never got around to it because the chinese scans are really bad quality. drifter looks pretty good so far though. chapter 1 started slow, but 2 is picking up. kind of. it’s a little too early to tell though.

highschool of the dead
zombiessssssss. but too much boobs.

and i need a list of things i keep meaning to read/catch up with but keep forgetting to.
luck stealer
amatsuki
break blade
blame
doubt
fairy cube
law of ueki
neuro
initial d
black god
xblade
the breaker
666satan
oofuri
mixim
monster soul
stigmata
ubel blatt
suicide island

… wtf why is this list so long!

GUNDAM00S2; 08-25

this is the reason why my computer needs to be far far FAR away from me when i study.

also, i think some name changes are in order in this series:
gundam00 S2: setsuna pwns everything
innovators: ribbons and harem

and some random comments:
- lyle = ♥. also, thanks for the fanservice, sunrise. the semi-nude scene was completely unnecessary, but hey. niiiiiice.
- all gundam series fail at female characters. there is not a moment tonight where i did not want to stab louise.
- YES LOCKON VS AAS ROUND TWO. YES YES YES.
- S1 >>> S2, really. to be honest, it’s not very exciting when every episode is just balahbalahbalah… a bunch of battles, people die, T+A+L get swarmed, setsuna shows up with 00-raiser and pwns everything, battle won. (okay, fine, i don’t care about setsuna very much. tieria and his whole dilemma was done in like two scenes, lockon and anew was like… very mildly hinted until you suddenly get a bed scene and some love proclamations, marie was kinda forgotten in the end, the whole allelujah/hallelujah thing wasn’t addressed… i can go on. and on. and on.)

okay, off to study. again.

ES21; 328-329

so rui is really the mummy and… is this a way to get unsui onto the field? or what. i do like the scene where agon is provoking unsui…

… dude what’s even happening in the game any more? i can’t tell.

ALSO, can we have some akaba screentime now? or kakei? or mizumachi (where he’s not the team cheerleader or comic relief)? or, idk, TAKA? people really need to stop disappearing in here.
