Spoilers through the end of Veronica Mars )

In conclusion, a great show, and I'm glad I watched it, even though it pretty much utterly consumed me these last few weeks. Once you start, you won't be able to stop.

I can see why people wouldn't like the new opening sequence of Veronica Mars because it's a change, but I think I kind of love it.

Spoilers through episode 3.4 behind the cut. )



And as for Bleach! I saw a random DVD at the library, so I picked it up to see what the anime is like (I've been reading the manga). The anime is about what I expected....overly long. It would take forever to get through these fight scenes I don't really care about, because it's harder to skim a DVD than a book. Don't get me wrong: I like bad-ass fight animation as much as the next girl, but Byakuya's sakura of doom (is this where [livejournal.com profile] oyceter gets her journal subtitle?) aside, the fights are pretty boring to watch.

I think my favorite characters (when they're not being annoying) are Rukia, Orihime, Tatsuki, and Uryu Ishida.

Still, episode 16 and they're already going to Soul Society? I can't imagine how many filler episodes there must be. Frickin' a. I liked the opening a lot, though.


I only have one more physical volume to read, and then I'll have to *ahem* the volumes because I can't get them from the library any more. Maybe I'll switch back to Naruto for a little while?
How come it's Ichigo who has to get stronger to protect everyone else? Why shouldn't Orihime get stronger?



[livejournal.com profile] sasha_feather and I have been watching Fullmetal Alchemist, and watched three episodes last night, including the Barry the Chopper one. It shows me how good shounen (or is it seinen?) can be. I like watching a protagonist who is actually afraid that he's going to die, and I think FMA is bucketloads better than Naruto or Bleach. Win.

So, holy shit. )

Shit, yo. There are 3 copies of each season 3 DVD at the library, but it seems like there are 8-10 holds on each one. I guess I'll watch them on Hulu? Anti-pwn! Hulu doesn't have VM, :[

I keep wanting to blog about Veronica Mars, but all I have is fangirl squee, and I feel embarassed when that's all I write, instead of really thought-provoking meta stuff.

WILL IT PREVENT ME FROM DOING IT? NO.

Spoilers through 2.16 )

I only have discs 5 and 6 left for this season....I'm going through this show so fast! I think it's because I watched most of Buffy and Angel while I was still in school, and there was homework and stuff.

So, I'm feeling really lately, or something. Why write my own analysis of episodes when everybody else has does it already? GOOD QUESTION. So I looked on LiveJournal, as one does when looking for epic posts of meta amazingness. I'M GLAD THAT EVERYONE LIKES MY FAVORITE CHARACTER, TOO.

For your reading pleasure, I cut out my favorite parts of each post, but all of the posts are amazing! And you should read them, too!

Shit like this is what I love about the Internet and media-viewing. I'm watching this three years after all of these posts were written, but I feel this amazing sense of community and "OMG ME TOO!"

Huge spoilers for 2.1 and all of season one lie behind the cut! )

I watched the last 10 episodes of season 1 in the last two days. :D

Massive spoilers behind the cut. )

AMAZING. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SHOW TO EVERYONE AND THEIR MOM (LITERALLY).

I tried to make a custom mood theme last night, but it didn't work, :/ I uploaded the pictures to my LJ gallery....can you not link to LJ images? Even from within LJ? That seems pretty silly to me! I need a new image-hosting service anyway, though. I've been using my University's for the last four years, but I'm obviously not a student any more.


I still have follow-up Geek.Kon posts to make.

For now, I have a few hobby-related goals:
1) Read more novels. It's been scientifically proven that nothing will impair my manga-reading habits, so I think I'm just going to spend more time focusing on novels while at work, and not worry that I "won't have time for" manga. Today, I've been tearing through Octavia Butler's Dawn, first in the Xenogenesis trilogy, which we are reading this month for Wiscon book club. I also have piles of unread books, now including the books recommended by Sarah Monette, not to mention Sarah Monette's own books!

2) Watch more anime. I kind of miss it, and I think I've now figured out that I can get TV shows like Arrested Development from the library, and should use my Netflix account for watching anime series.


Last night, I watched the first three episodes of Veronica Mars. It was pretty good, I think I'll enjoy watching this show. Please don't spoil me! I'm sure I've picked up a few spoilers through LJ-osmosis, but overall, I know nothing. I'll be glad to watch this series for fun, and don't really feel the need to blog extensively about it, as most have you have either seen it or already heard of it.

For now.....LOL to the Paris Hilton guest role in episode two, AND Spoilers for an indeterminate point in the future. ) For now, I really appreciate the biker gang vs. preppy Orange County boys. And, of course, Veronica herself. WIN.
