Anime, SDCC and a Webcomic

Sorry I haven't posted in a few days but I've been trying to catch up with anime like I said I was going to. I finally finished watching Slayers and Full Metal Panic: The Second Raid. I greatly enjoyed them both. I also caught up on The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya since I was 3 episodes behind. I can't wait until the "endless eight" episodes are over. It's getting tedious watching the same thing over and over but I'm sure that the end will justify the means.

During my anime watching I've discovered that there is currently a Shugo Chara! anime. This is both good and bad news; good in the sense that "yay there's an anime!" and bad in the sense that "damn I'll have to finish the Slayers anime and Full Metal Panic Fumoffu before I can really get to it!" However if any of you readers (I know there must be at least 2 of you) want to watch it you can click here.

Today I was also found a link to a preview of Left 4 Dead 2 in a tweet by one of the people I follow on Twitter, Tim Buckley, creator of the web comic CTRL+ALT+DEL (which I recommend for any gamer) to read it click here. To see the SDCC (San Diego Comic Convention) preview of Left 4 Dead 2 click here.

I must return to watching anime now, until next time, game on.

Give Me a Hand this Metal is Kinda Heavy

I added yet another manga to the list today, does that make me crazy or just bored? I hope the latter. Anyways check out Yakitate! Japan in the feed bar. It's about a boy seeking to create a bread unique to Japan seeing as how there is already French bread, English bread and German bread. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the anime and just discovered the manga. It's quite funny and also pretty informative about food. Being a food lover lets me enjoy this manga twice as much.

Haven't Really gotten around to Civ 4's expansions yet, but I think I'll get to it tomorrow. I've decided to start with warlords because I just want to crush people.

I'm very into Moi Dix Mois lately. There music is just my style. It sounds very european, they usually have instrumental tracks, it's pretty awesome metal, there's bit of techno thrown in and last but not least it's a japanese band. What more could I ask for in a band? Besides GWAR playing a concert in my back yard not much.

Seeing as how I'm on the topic of music I might as well divulge my favorite genre: Metal. Of course Rock (along with most of it's sub genres) and Goth tally a close second. But I hate Christian rock, soft rock and country rock. Firstly I'm not a christian and I don't appreciate them pushing their beliefs in one of my favorite genres. Secondly soft rock is pussy music that's why it's called soft, also isn't the term soft rock an oxymoron? As for country rock, it just disagrees with my ears. Now if you truly appreciate rock and/or metal music you should go out and find a copy of Metal: A Head banger's Journey (buy it here). It is an excellent documentary tracing the roots of metal through blues, rock, classical and the like. I guarantee that it will be an enlightening experience.

Bleach Update, Slayers and FMP!

New episode of Bleach today and as I suspected it's a filler episode. It's unsurprising since the anime was catching up to the manga. Anyways you can watch the latest episode here. At least the manga will update on Friday. I hope to see Kensei and Hisagi fight together as well as other reunions.

I've also been watching Slayers recently. It is an older anime that I quite enjoy. Check it out here. There are also more recent continuations here and here. You'll have to search for Slayers Try somewhere else.

Another anime I've been watching is Full Metal Panic! I've almost finished the first series and I'll soon move on to TSR and Fumoffu. Until tomorrow see you later!
