The Qwasar of Stigmata Episode 12 - Sword of Fresh Blood

Yeah, so I kinda missed the weekend. Oops. I'll be making up on that I suppose, and probably post Diabolik Lovers tomorrow. There is only so much a single man can be expected to put up with in a single sitting after all.

And let's face it, watching those two back-to-back might actually kill me.

That's not even hyperbole I mean they might actually wind up killing me for real.

It says a lot when I completely forget what happens in a show between viewings so much that I actually have to go back and skim the last entry in this blog for it. I mean you'd think I might remember the crazy twins and the mercury bitch. You'd think that.

You'd also be wrong. But you'd definitely be thinking that.

Sailor Moon R Episode 38 - Wiseman's Evil Hand! Chibi-Usa Disappears

Some interesting facts have come to light regarding Sailor Moon, and I think by virtue of these mentionings, I might just have to check out the original manga, for instance.

According to my sources, Mamoru is, at least in the manga, 17 and about ready to graduate from high school. Now if you ask me, that makes a lot more sense - dude is just about to start getting into a college, so by the time the whole Chibi-usa thing begins? I can believe it. If anything, it makes their relationships... well, way more believable, at any rate.

It also seems that the original manga artist was rather displeased by her lack of involvement in the original production as well. And if you've been following along here, it's really not hard to understand why she might feel that way. This said, the upcoming Sailor Moon series is, again according to my sources, supposed to be a re-imagining of the original tale - one that is supposed to stick much closer to the manga and, one might suspect, turn out to be a way better freaking show.

So with that having been said, perhaps I shall turn a less disdainful eye towards that new show, when it finally does arrive. Which at this point looks like never. Go figure. In the meantime though, we've yet to hit the halfway point on this thing, so let's get right to it, shall we?

Diabolik Lovers Episode 07 - Lucky Number Slevin

With the completion of Pupa under my arms, I can now continue to devote my life to other terrible shows. Though I'm pretty sure I won't be picking anything back up on the 'Saturday' slot, because three shows in one week is almost more than the human brain can handle.

That having been said, we once again turn our critical eye back to the love story worse than Twilight. This is a love story, right? Because it's certainly not all that horrifying. Or rather it is but probably not in any of the ways the staff had hoped it would be.

Pupa Episode FINAL - Larva

It's finally time to bring this baby home after all this time. The train is coming back to the station, folks, and it won't be leaving again.

Which is my subtle way of calling this show a train wreck. Which is why it won't be leaving again.

This is the last episode of this completely abysmal show, so let's see just where it ends up eh?

The Qwasar of Stigmata Episode 11 - The Witch's Crucifix

Sometimes, writing this part of the blog is literally the hardest part.

I mean let's face it, after the jump everything else practically writes itself. No real effort there. But this? The intro? The part where you get to take a tiny peek into my mind to discover how much sanity remains? That's the really hard part.

Maybe part of it is just because having to write so many of these things gets, well, hard to do after awhile. You hit writer's block. What then? You've got to talk about something or other because let's face it, otherwise you'll ruin the format and not have anything to jump to.

Majority of it is probably the fact that I know, deep in the bottom of my soul, that after the cut there is no going back. And maybe I just want to spare myself the agony of f***ing Seiko no Qwasar, The Qwasar of Stigmata, even if it is just for a few more minutes.

Oh god do I hate this show with a burning fiery passion of a thousand suns. Do I ever.

Sailor Moon R Episode 37 - The Shocking Future! Dimande's Dark Ambition

Wow. This is my 175th Anime watching entry. That is quite the accomplishment. I mean, I've watched... a lot of truly, truly terrible anime by this point.

... and you know it suddenly occurs to me that if I had simply chosen to stick with only Sailor Moon I would be halfway through SS now.

... I'm gonna go cry myself to sleep now...

Diabolik Lovers Episode 6.5 - They Actually Called It 6.5

You know, there are a lot of things that don't make sense to me. Like bell-bottom jeans. Seriously, what is up with those things?

But right now, perhaps the most perplexing thing for me is this 'episode 6.5' business. Why is this even a thing? Why was it necessary? Did you just really want to avoid the number 13 for some reason? Or are you simply substituting your episode titles for just numbers? In which case, why would you go with something as dumb as 6.5???

I don't have any of the answers for this, and I suspect I never will.

My body is ready... but never willing. Let's just get on with it already...
