Anime thoughts:

Da Capo S.S. 5-6 - Episode 5 was actually pretty funny. Episode 6 already got spoiled for me on GameFAQs, but it was still a "holy shit!" moment when Nemu appeared. Kotori's been demoted for now, and I can't wait to see if she's going to fight back. If we go by harem laws however, Nemu is the winner by default. This series has been bumped up and is now competing with Suzuka for second best anime of the July season.

Da Capo S.S. 7 - Whee. Nemu and Jun'ichi relationship looks like it's going to deteriorate and allow Kotori to have a chance.

Suzuka 7 - Yamato was rejected last episode. Drunk girl helps Yamato make his decision and keep going after Asahina. He decides to join the track team in the end. I'm eagerly awaiting for Honoka's moments with Yamato.

Suzuka 8-9 - Yamato works hard and finds out that track is really hard. Asahina also still acts coldly towards him even though he's working hard. Honoka joins the team as a manager. Episode 9, Yamato learns about Kazuki and sees the picture of him and Asahina. He chases after her when she goes to visit him on their day off from track club.

My Wife is a Magical Girl 7 - Cruje(adult form) goes out on a date with Tatsumi at the beach. Ureshiko is jealous and follows them around until she is interrupted by some other magical girls. Cruje learns first hand about Ureshiko's pain of not being able to kiss and runs off. Being pissed she can't kiss, she decides to take it out on the magical girls fighting Ureshiko. After the battle, Ureshiko falls to the sea because she's sick. Cruje(kid form) gets Tatsumi to save her. She's out of the water and breathing, but still unconscious.

My Wife is a Magical Girl 8-9 - Episode 8 gives some backstory about Yuki. She sides with Cruje and tries to get the ring from Ureshiko so Cruje can erase Yuki's past. Ureshiko's husband also confronts Tatsumi about allegations of forcing himself onto his mistress/editor. Episode 9 continues with the confrontation that ends when Ureshiko shows up and pleas for him to stop. Later, Cruje(adult form) clears up the moment where she almost kisses Tatsumi. Cruje tells him to tell his feelings to the person he likes. He tells Ureshiko and she finally decides its time. She takes of the ring and almost kisses him, but the ring shines and she must go out and do her job to preserve the city. Still the best anime of the season.

Gun X Sword 6 - Wonderful parody of Pulp Fiction in the beginning. Ends with Van finding out that the guy with the claw was only a couple of feet away from him moments ago.



Backlog: Trinity Blood ??-??, Mahou Sensei Negima 21, Tide-Line Blue 2-4, Law of Ueki ??-15, Full Metal Panic 1-24 + 2nd Raid 1-5, Ah! My Goddess 24.

Comic thoughts:

Batgirl 67 - Cheesecake! Batgirl and Oracle bury the hatchet and are on good terms again. Black Canary also tells Cassandra a secret. Shiva wants her to be her apprentice. Shiva finally appears next issue.

Birds of Prey 85 - Surgery goes fine and Oracle can wiggle her toes now. Still don't see why they didn't take this chance to make things right between Oracle and Batman.

Batman 644 - The end result of War Crimes? Leslie Thompkins withheld treatment and thus killed Stephanie. Holy crap, I'm really amazed that they let a writer change her character like that.

House of M 5 - Emma and the little girl give back the memories to more heroes. First one they decide to do after Cyclops is Spider-Man. Ends with Magneto looking over Xavier's grave. Spider-Man is probably the one who deserves the right to end the House of M with his bare hands. With only three issues left, I hope there's going to be flash bangs of awesome packed into these last issues.



Gaming thoughts:
At the beginning of the current generation of consoles, I praised the X-Box the most and trashed the Gamecube. I've become less of an elitist now and have seen the error of my ways. I now own a Gamecube. Heh.
