Dog Days Episode 03 - I Want to Go Home! But I Can't? Sir Hero in Flonyard!

Dog Days. It's a thing, and it just keeps happening. Or kept happening I guess. Why this show was given the green light for a second season is truly beyond me. I'm not sure what audience they were hoping to capture with this show. It's got the kid-friendly designs of Nanoha but the kind of crude humor you'd expect out of your typical Shonen series.

Ugh, just thinking about it is making my stomach hurt, let's just get this over with...

Sailor Moon S Episode 13 - The Pure Heart Stolen! Usagi's Biggest Crisis

Boy has it been a weekend full of stuff. It could be the anime, or maybe something else but I just haven't been sleeping very well lately.

Maybe I should try taking an actual vacation one of these days. Maybe. Today I'm watching Sailor Moon again. At least it's an improvement over the rest of the series though, so let's see how this amazing two-parter ends up eh?

Free! Eternal Summer Episode 03 - The Butterfly of Farewell!

I f***ing love the Internet.

Let me explain. I mean, it's nearly everything a person could ever want, all right there for you to just reach out and grab. It is the best and worst humanity has to offer all at once, and has been used to topple governments and help find cures for disease.

But the thing I love most about the Internet? Is that it lets me glimpse into the inner minds of other human beings, and sometimes makes me laugh unlike anything I've ever encountered.

Remember when I said I like looking to see what keywords lead people to my blog sometimes? Yeah well, I think I have a new winner for this month.

"prepare your anus cause this rape train has no breaks anime"

Thank you, Internet. F***ing thank you to death. Because this is exactly the kind of shit I needed to read before tackling the next episode of Free!

It's like you're reading my mind too. How sweet~

Sailor Moon S Episode 12 - Usagi in Tears! Glass Shoes for Her Birthday

I have had more computer issues in the last three days that I've had in the last three years. Criminy but this is just some kind of ridiculous.

With any luck, however, I've managed to track down and eliminate the random crashing issues. (Memory-related? Video-related? Sure isn't porn-related you can bet that. Who downloads that stuff anyways I mean geez!)

This means I can sit here and (hopefully) power through an entire episode of animu and not risk losing all of my work.

Too much words, not enough work. Onwards!

Dog Days Episode 02 - First Battle!

I love the Nanoha series. Nanoha and Nanoha A's are among my most favorite magical girl shows, and StrikerS was... well, it was a thing. It happened. It also killed the series but it showed me that the writers just bit off more than they could possibly chew. Short series seem to work best for these guys.

But then, there was Dog Days. Seriously. Dog Days. I don't even understand what they were thinking when they made this project. Where do we even begin with this show?

Well, I guess I may as well pick up the second episode and see where it goes from here. How Grimbright can this show get?

... is that even the right term for this show? Man my head hurts already.

Free! Eternal Summer Episode 02 - The Stroke of a Chance Meeting!

I've been avoiding this show like the plague, but I fear I can no longer ignore it. It has simply become too big. It is a thing. It keeps happening. And unlike Endless Eight, I'm not sure I like it.

... or if I do somehow like it, I'm not sure that can be considered a good thing.

Well, the first episode showed zero minimal some moderate progress. In that it did everything last season's first episode in pretty much the same way, cut out all that other bullshit and managed to somehow introduce every single character in a single episode.

... that's progress, right?

Sailor Moon S Episode 11 - Retire from the Sailor Soldier!? Minako's Concerns

I really needed to take a break. Sometimes, life just gets too busy to want to subject yourself to this kind of nonsense.

Unfortunately for me, life is now less busy, and that means I now have all the time required to punch myself in the dick for an hour and a half.

... I need a real hobby.

Dog Days Episode 01 - Birth of a Hero!

Yeah so I've been really not wanting to sit down and write stuff. And to anyone who would suggest that I may have sunk another 150+ hours into Civilization V in the last three weeks should really stop stalking me. Seriously, do you really have nothing better to do than sit around counting the time I'm playing games on Steam?

Seriously. That's just weird. Get a real hobby already!

That being said, I'm here with a new show. This one is called Dog Days. It came out in 2012. Hang on, that's only two years ago! How bad can that possibly be? I mean, this is NEW ANIME for god's sake. Hell, it's even the same creative team that gave me the Nanoha franchise that I love so much.

How could this possibly go wrong?
