Noblesse
I'm really liking this web manhwa. I usually don't like vampire stories, but the humor in this charmed me. I keep expecting Rai to be super good at everything, but he fumbles a lot with modern things like here with ramen. The mix of action and humor is great. The mahwa is originally published here every week. (M-21 is growing on me!)
Working!!
On a whim, I watched Working!! this week. I found it cute. :3 I quite liked Takanashi Souta because he's fairly responsible, and I think he'd totally get along with Asuka from Otomen with their love of cute things.
Kuroshitsuji II
Didn't think I'd be watching this, but Nico Nico Douga has an official channel for it, which makes things interesting. I watched the first episode with everyone's comments running across the episode. In episode 2, when one of the characters (I won't say who for those who plan to watch S2) broke down the dam, everyone went, "SHIZUO"! A bunch of comments like that flew across the top. Shizuo is sure famous for his violence. As for the anime itself...I have no idea what's going on. =/ Need explanation please.
Fic writing, CMX manga
I've been poking at my fic, Memories of the Future for days, yet I've only got around 900 words for the next chapter. I even bought volumes 7-9 of the manga in English (I already had Land of the Blindfolded in Chinese) as reference. I then found out that CMX has closed??? I guess this means I need to hurry up and try to find volumes 1-6 somewhere. =/ This really sucks because CMX actually publishes a lot of shoujo series that I like, such as Tsukuba Sakura's works!

The preview of episode 3 of season 2 completely brings the erotic up a notch.
no subject
I follow both the anime and manga. The manga makes a lot more sense, esp since season 1 of the anime branched off at... oh I'd say ep 5. But yeah, manga = total win. anime = really just for the lolz.
Mmm most people in fandom thinks that ciel is still in a dream in season 2... or maybe he's just woken up from his slumber and is still having a hard time piecing things from season 1 back together.
no subject
The anime was interesting until around that episode, haha. Afterwards, the demon dog part bored me, and then I just listened to the rest of the series without watching it very carefully.
Huh, it does seem kind of like a dream so far, but dreams are no fun. =/
no subject
I like reading all the comments floating across the best :D better than the actual show sometimes |D
no subject
Comments from the first episode were pretty funny though...everyone was talking about what a waste the opening was, and when that other butler set the table so outrageously, there were a lot of !!! comments going on. XDD The comments made me laugh when some of the scenes were quite morbid.
no subject
Yeah, I like the scenes that ended up with just a huge flurry of wwwwwwwwwww and ええええええええええええええええ. I've been watching both raws and subs so far, but I always have to watch the raw version with comments! I wish they'd translate the comments too, hahaha.
no subject
It's the comments that are fun. XD; It's too bad I'm not interested in the other anime channels on Nicodouga. I tried watching a bit of High School of the Dead. I only watched 2 minutes of it before I stopped. It's not a very good watch while eating dinner. XDD
no subject
XDD That doesn't sound like a good show to watch while eating at all! I dunno, recently I haven't been interested in any of the new anime, besides Durarara last season :/ Maybe we're going through a slump |D
no subject
Musicals should be full of singing!! Otherwise it's more of a play than a musical.
High School of the Dead wasn't good to watch while eating. There was a lot of gore and blood splattering and all that. ^^;; I'm still following spring series that continued into summer, but the new summer series don't interest me. I'm looking forward to the fall series though! :3
no subject
I agree! Then the singing just feels out of place. I didn't think the songs for it were that great, anyway, besides Shougo+Ruito's! The Sebastian and Grell song was pretty great, but Matsushita Yuuya's voice is a little too high for Sebastian, I think |D;;
Yikes, definitely a midday kind of show, I guess XD Oh, I started Giant Killing, which I guess sorta started at the end of spring~ I think it's the only soccer I like at all |DDD Hmm, what's in the fall, I wonder~
no subject
I downloaded the songs to listen to. I don't remember any of them. XDD
Uh yeah, definitely! I think watching something like High School of the Dead is better left for daytime. XD; I'm watching Giant Killing. Haven't watched the latest episode yet. Hehe, but I was very amused that Okiayu Ryoutarou voices Mr. ETU. Heard him speak only a little before going yup, that's Okiayu right there. I'm looking forward to Bakuman, but I don't know if that's fall or later. I hope it's fall. XD;
no subject
The only one I remember is the SebGrell one, because I watched it a couple times? And it's really annoying and all about red vs. black and they're like "Aka ka?" "Kuro ka?" or something the whole time :(
Yes! I think he needs to talk more because Okiayu Ryoutarou ♥ I am really really far behind on it. OH BAKUMAN!!! I forgot about that!! Yessss looking forward to that SO MUCH T____T I hope it's fall too! I saw Bakuman in (American) Shonen Jump the other day, I hope it gets licensed properly and they start releasing the manga here ;____; and legal anime would be great too, of course |D
no subject
*listens to it* Sebastian's voice is pretty high! :O
I hope his character gets a larger part just so I can hear him talk more. |D I'm excited for Bakuman! I hope there won't be an anime original ending since the manga is still ongoing...unless the manga's ending soon. I'm surprised Bakuman isn't licensed yet. :O It's such a educative manga about how manga works. XD; And it's by such famous mangaka! Did you hear that there'll be a spin off of Otters next week? I wonder how that'll be like. :O I wanted one of Trap or Money and Intelligence. |D But Otters...maybe it'll be a Death Note parody.
no subject
Right!? o_____O He's perfectly capable of singing low notes too, though! (He's the one that does the ending for KuroII, did you know?)
Yeah |D Character songs would be great too |DDD Hmmm, I wonder :( Maybe they'll split it up the way they did with Death Note. But then, so far there isn't distinctly a first half and a second half... I wonder how it's going to end o____O It seems like they've done so much, but they could still do more... Ooh, it looks like the first volume of the manga will be released here August 3rd, according to Amazon! YAAAAAAY~ Oh, yeah! I really wonder o____O Haha, a Death Note parody! That would be hilarious. I loved the very beginning when they referenced it all the time... I want to read PCP! They made it sound so cool... Oh, and the textless Crow as well *_____* Maybe if this one works well, we'll end up seeing some of the other ones too XD
no subject
I didn't know! The ending sounds pretty. I like it.
Bakuman doesn't feel like it has distinct divisions...are there even arcs? Oh whoa, so Bakuman is licensed? Coolness. :3 PCP sounds very cool. And textless Crow must be so pretty!
no subject
... I have no idea what's going on in it either, though! I wish they would have ended the anime differently, so that the second season could continue on with the manga's plot. I think that would have been a bit better (besides, Alois is cute, but he freaks me out a little bit o_o;).
no subject
She would do that. XD; This is...a continuation of not canon stuff. I've never actually read the manga, but the way this anime is presented isn't very consistent, and it doesn't seem like it'll be very possible to bring in manga material again with the anime original antagonists around and the end of the first season to take into account.
Alois is a bit creepy and crazy. He scares me! :'(
no subject
That's my biggest problem with the anime- it's so inconsistent with plot that it seems like they don't really even know what direction they're going. :\ It seems really randomly thrown together.
It's really a shame, too, because I really like some of the manga-only characters. I would have really liked to see who they chose for their voice actors.
I do like Claude, though, he's pretty good-looking! I'd like to know where he came from, at least.
no subject
I'm hoping that they do something with these anime original characters. Preferably something that makes sense!

Otomen needs an anime. I haven't watched the drama, but I heard that things were shifted around a lot and the pacing wasn't all that great?
no subject
Haven't got very far in it yet, but... the pages are very long. O___o;; I keep having to go back when I realise that I've missed a panel.
no subject
They are pretty long! It's actually supposed to be one long page, but it looks like they spliced them up here for mangafox. I keep forgetting to scroll to the very bottom and usually miss the last panel. ^^;;
