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!

listening to anime

I've been watching, or more like listening, to anime while making decks for [livejournal.com profile] colors_tcg and [livejournal.com profile] twistserve_tcg. I finished two series this way. XD;

Itazura na Kiss
I haven't read the manga, but I did catch parts of the Taiwanese drama while my mom was watching it, and wow, the drama and this anime sure follow the same story very closely! The art can be a bit funky at times, and boy is Kotoko dense and Irie frigid, but I found the overall series touching, especially the episode before the last one. I sniffled. ;__; This is one thorough series that follows the relationship way past the confession. I liked the simple music. Was used very effectively, especially for certain cliffhanger endings.

Kuroshitsuji
Haha, I watched up to episode 9 when this was still airing, but I stopped. But hearing about the ending actually made me watch it, so I did. I immediately noticed how much prettier the art was (since I had just finished watching Itazura na Kiss. Huge contrast). After watching this, I had that creepy song the dollmaker was singing stuck in my head. I always found dolls creepy. >__> I wasn't attached to any of the characters and didn't feel much for them (even when they got into very bad situations), but Ciel did make me snicker at him at one point. Overall impression of this series...creepy, but pretty.

I tried watching Tears to Tiara afterward, but after 5 episodes, I was completely lost since I hadn't been paying enough attention. I guess "listening" to series only works when I actually know most of the characters already and the basic plot.

Which doesn't make starting watching Macross Frontier make any sense. XD; I let Macross Frontier play in the background, but that didn't work very well since I found myself paying more attention to watching than to what I was trying to multitask on. Otherwise, I'd have been lost again. I'm finding Macross Frontier pretty captivating so far. I'm on episode 9. It helps that I really like Alto. :3 I figured if I'm going to the May'n concert at AX, I better know what she's most famous for. XDDD So my goal is to finish this series before AX comes around!

(By the way, drabble requests are still open if anyone wants to request anything to help me exercise my mind~)
