Just finished this today and LOVED it. The series is just extremely well written and the two seasons mesh well together. Though NGL, I really loved Birdy's season over Tsutomu. On the other hand, the growth that he went through in season one made him really kickass in season two. And it takes some chutzpah to being a badass nonaction guy in a series where people can regularly blow buildings up. I really love how the themes of love, the end really being the beginning, redemption, and the somewhat cyclical nature of life twist like vines between the two seasons.

I really just loved the last few episodes. I liked Shyamalan as a villain. And the tension held throughout. Muroto was pretty badass in his own way. I also really loved how tight Birdy and Tsutomu were. I really love their friendship. Two characters I wish had more screentime were the spy Birdy punched out and her former teacher. They just seemed like very interesting characters, though admittedly this is a short, actiony cartoon. But the ever cursed Yakuza boss keeps appearing so maybe they will too.

Just started season 2. Its starts off pretty exciting although I'm a bit worried about Birdy getting a bad "end like" Tsutomu did. Also why is the Altan bad kid now working for Birdy's source? Does this ever get explained.

Missed a bunch of days so cramming it all here.

Day 07 - Least favorite plot device employed by way too many books you actually enjoyed otherwise


Everyone's in Love/A decent percent of the cast has love as a motivator and its unrealistic or boring

example ) since they had build up. Like I don't even get the main couple as they had about 2/3 conversations before epic love followed.

Day 08 - A book everyone should read at least once Books I dropped one year (2008-2009) and why.


I am a firm believer in one person's personal classic is another person's personal hell so here's a list of books I dropped when I was trying to do a 50 book challenge (but stopped around college) and why.

list cut )
This list should probably be longer, but I have a habit of reading about 5 pages into a story, getting bored and forgetting all about it. Save for the Monster Blood, these were ones I got to around the halfway point before giving up.

Day 09 - Best Scene Ever


"Professor Von Grimskull's monocycle roared beneath him
as it thundered through the crimson night-sky, the wheel forged
from sheer awesomantium snarling its way across the flaming
dirigible's upper frame. The legion of steam-powered zombie airpirates
had all ready taken control, their engine-ladened frames
churning out thick choking whorls of vaporized smoke; soon, the
zeppelin would crash into the swirling energies of the temporal
anomaly, completing the necrocthulthic ritual and fulfilling the
eldritch prophecy — bringing an end to the universe.

"The bronze-nosed Von Grimskull made a low, deepthroated
snarl. "The Doctor is in... VINCIBLE!""

Taken from Arcadia Snips and the Steamwork Consortium.

I don't know why I didn't watch this show until now. For some reason I saw this show coming out, decided to watch something else that was so not worth it that I don't even remember it now. I am the foolishest fool that every foolishly lived. :(

IDK. I really love Birdy and Tsutomu's relationship. I really like how the reporter side plot is going. The action/animation is pretty good. Just the whole story and its presentation is pretty awesome. Though I am really sad that a certain character is gone. He was just so awesome. Perhaps too awesome for his world. :'(

Its available free on Hulu, to those who can access the site.
