I was a bit distracted by several gaming sessions over the last fortnight, many thanks to vegetus and nevryn for organising at least one of those. Another distraction was the attention brought to my Bumper Sticker Feminism post by leaving a comment on a relevant Whatever post. Behold the Awesome Power of Whatever!

My first thoughts on Puella Magi Madoka Magica ( Read more... )

At this stage I'm still not entirely sure what to make of Shin Sekai Yori, and Say "I Love You" (spoilers) is also making for interesting viewing.

The session 14 Pathfinder report is up (session 15 is being drafted, but I'm going to watch some Puella Magi Madoka Magica first).

Finally, my earworm today reminds us all that there are many dumb ways ( Read more... )

To my great surprise this week I have been enjoying Girls Und Panzer. Note that the end credits are a total earworm, and feature a different chibi-tank each episode.

I've also started catching up with Shin Sekai Yori, however this is not a fluffy popcorn anime so I'm reserving comment on that one until I see another couple of episodes ( Read more... )

This week there's a spoiler-free review of Redshirts by John Scalzi (well, apart from the spoiler that's on the cover of the book), plus two session report from the Pathfinder game - session 12 and session 13.

I'm still watching Harem, er, Sword Art Online but I'm really not sure why.  At least Asuna has started getting some agency back.

I forgot to do this last week, not that there is much to report.

I noted a tendency for light novel adaptations to be somewhat overedited, and also reviewed Dream Eater Merry (which had ups and downs).

Add in a couple of Pathfinder reports (session 10 and session 11), and that's about it for now.

I managed to get back to the Pathfinder game the week before last, and also edited the first instalment of the in-character journal of the Bard. I was also there this week, but haven't written that up yet.

I've just finished watching the first half of Toradora and remain interested enough to pick up the second half when I see it on the shelves.

I may have to look at doing a write up on Kokoro Connect, it seems that the 13 episodes to date will be it for a while.  I've just started watching Shin Sekai Yori (From the New World) and I was amused to see that the BGM includes Dvorak's From the New World.

I also watched Inu X Boku SS which was enjoyable but had some unfortunate implications ( Read more... )

Very little this week as my returning energy is going to work first and blogging second.

I put some final comments on Tari Tari together, and also commented on how rewatchable Bodacious Space Pirates is (very as it happens).

The only other thing is comment about the subtler misogyny implied by the Seanan McGuire thing.

I have spent the week being sick and rewatching Bodacious Space Pirates for distraction purposes.  It stands up to rewatching surprisingly well.

Whilst there's no session report this week (sick), I did manage to finish editing the origin tale for the dragonrider. The in-game chronicles of the bard will be following in instalments later this week ( Read more... )

Tari Tari features some fabulous design work for a the High School that looks brand new, but is supposed to be old.  I found the disconnect to be somewhat jarring.

Wolf Children is currently screening as part of Madman's Reel Anime season.  Go see this film. You may want to see it twice.  Unfortunately I've been sick all weekend and haven't seen ( Read more... )
