Noblesse 226, A Game of Thrones, Sket Dance

[lucathia]

They assembled! XD;

Or well, this is more just about the RK-4 in general than about chapter 226. *slaps down pics of each of them with their masks from the recent chapters* I just...can't stop laughing at their masks.

No. 1

Tao~ ♥ So, chapter 226. More of Tao fighting. (I was just...giggling really hard when it looked like he might get some clothes damage too, but in the end, I think his clothes were alright).

No. 2

I wondered who he'd go to help, Tao or M-21? He seemed quite stuck before help came.

No. 4

M-21 is flying all over the place

And finally, No. 3!


When did Regis manage to get his mask?

These masks truly hide nothing at all... *stares at Regis' hair* His eyes seem to stand out more with the mask on too. Those are some red eyes!

I'm loving that smile on M-21's face here. :3

A Game of Thrones
Mm, I checked out a digital version of A Game of Thrones from my library. I was on a waiting list for it! (I thought there would be more copies available than that). I only have the copy for 21 days... I don't think I'll be able to finish the book in 21 days. It's so long! (I haven't started reading yet. I'm already daunted...)

Sket Dance
...I caught up with the anime. /mopes

Tsubaki became my favorite character. :D ♥ And then he became even cuter as the series went on. (I also love that Shimono Hiro voices him). Episode 47 ended on such a cliffie, arrrrgh, so I went and read the manga. -___-;; And then I couldn't stop. Because there was so much about Tsubaki, ahhhhhhh. I've been good with Chihayafuru and Natsume Yuujinchou and haven't gone seeking the manga to find out what happens next, but I think it's because I've been watching them weekly, so I've gotten used to waiting. Sket Dance, on the other hand... since I was marathoning it... -_____-;;

This series makes me laugh and cry. I've fallen hard. XD; (And Tsubaki~ ♥) Expect more fangirling posts from me. XD I bought the fanbook over the weekend. Good thing I didn't read it until after I read some of the manga because the fanbook details a lot of the characters' pasts/family/etc. :3;; The fanbook also has huuuge lists of characters, even super minor characters (even the fictional characters like Liberty Maji), and they all have birthdays set for them...wow.

I've really liked the opening and ending songs of Sket Dance, and how they change quite often. The Sketchbooks are also awesome! I love that guy's voice~. I mostly only skimmed manga chapters that have already been animated. The anime follows the manga pretty closely, though the order of some chapters is different. I can't wait to see the next few episodes.

*cough cough* I do believe that there are copies of Game of Thrones available for download on the Internets. Not that you should use them, if you have a library copy.

Game of Thrones is pretty awesome, btw. Takes a while to get into it, but once you're in you're in.

I was tempted... *coughs* But I thought I'd try out my library's digital selection. I've never checked out anything digital before. Kind of cool, how it works, though I was pretty afraid I'd take a wrong step and end up having to get wait-listed again. (Why only two copies???) I managed to check out a kindle version, which is pretty sleek!

I've only read a bit of the prologue so far. I think I'll need to reread what I've read. XD; Have you read the entire series?

[flonnebonne]

The library has to pay a fee to the publisher for each digital copy it buys from them. And depending on their deal, those digital copies might "expire." I can see where the publishers come from, but it does seem awfully artificial, huh?

The prologue kind of sucks--re-read it later, if you need to. It gets better once you get into the main story. Be warned, it takes FOREVER for plot points to advance. The details are what makes it great though.

Yep, I've read the whole series. I found it really hard to read on the computer though. I needed the real books.

I see! That would suck if the library's digital copies do expire. I was kind of hoping to be able to browse books this way without having to go to the library, and to be able to access books more conveniently, but most books have a waiting list. Seems like the library has more physical copies than digital copies. When I was checking out, I got all nervous because the library system stated that I would only have 30 minutes to check out the book before it expired and the book would be sent to the next person on the waitlist...

Hm, I'll probably do that. The prologue was losing me, haha. I've heard that this series is super detailed. Can't wait to find out just how detailed! Multiple POVs and characters sound fascinating.

I like reading on my computer, but being able to carry what I read is more convenient, so I borrowed the kindle version to put on my tablet. This is a lot longer than what I've been reading on my tablet though, so I hope I can still get into it!
