Lately my job has been seriously kicking my ass. Overtime is great. Unfortunately, it also means that I tend to really throw my sleep schedule off, and never knowing when I will have to work super long shifts is really starting to take its toll on me and my life.
Also, I just haven't been sleeping very well period lately, and that's never good for anybody involved. And speaking of things not good for anybody involved, Diabolik Lovers? Well it's still a pretty bad show.
Oh and I have something special planned for this Friday. So look forward to that. It'll be a riot.
Sanity is overrated. But so too are most anime...

Sailor Moon R Episode 40 - Saphir Dies! Wiseman's Trap
I go through a lot to bring you folks entertainment.
No, really. I spent no less than half an hour just trying to figure out various issues that were getting in the way of my providing you with this entry. Everything from speakers not working to Windows just straight up not working at all.
Truly, the universe works in mysterious ways. Maybe it's trying to tell me something. Like, "you really should have something planned for Friday you idiot."
Meh, who listens to those voices in the back of your head anyway? If I did that, I'd never have started this blog in the first place...

Diabolik Lovers Episode 09 - Eight Episodes Too Many
So I kinda fell apart last week.
It happens. Polar Vortex whips its nasty little head around for one more go, completely screws everything up. Makes you feel violently ill. And totally unable to do anything other than sleep when not working. Also, I think I may have had too much caffeine at several points, which likely didn't do me any favors either.
I wanted to find a replacement for Qwasar. Honest. I haven't managed to scrape that together just quite yet though. (I have ideas, don't worry, but some terrible shows are harder to get hold of than others.)
So being that I can function more or less like a reasonable human being, I guess I should go right back to driving my skull into the dirt. Whatever doesn't kill you...

Pupa - A Disaster of Biblical Proportions
Where do we begin with this one? I mean, honestly, where could I even begin?
There are bad shows, and then there are shows that frankly never should have seen the light of day. And then, there are shows like Pupa.
I... I'm honestly at a loss here. I don't know where to even begin talking about this mess. But I promise I'll try.
This is Pupa.

Sailor Moon R Episode 39 - The Birth of Black Lady, The Queen of Darkness
I think I am beginning to slowly lose my mind.
This show is bad. Just... all kinds of bad, without a doubt. I know how bad it is, and spoiler alert, I kind of know how it gets worse. But how is it that I am just now beginning to lose my mind?
Why, because I am kind of looking forward to seeing this train wreck of a show continue. I can't even really grasp the reasoning behind this, I just... I think I just want to see how bad it gets. Which makes this the campy sort of bad. Or the campy sort of good. Does that make any sense? I'm not sure that it does.
Why does this show confuse me so?

Diabolik Lovers Episode 08 - Endless Hate
You know, come to think of it I think that Diabolik Lovers and Pupa have some things in common.
They're both horror shows, they both have strange running times that don't match with their content, and they both completely miss the entire point of the horror genre, except in those rare instances where they simply come across as just plain creepy. They also both contain characters I could care less about, and waste most of their runtime with pointless shit in an attempt to remind us that THIS IS A SHOW ABOUT (insert thing here).
They also both have incredibly questionable artwork, for the most part. and put detail into the weirdest things.
It's quite the conundrum. One might almost wonder if they were, in fact, two parts of the same show, or at least made to run together or something. I dunno. My point is they're both shit shows and why in the hell did anyone bother watching this ungodly mess?

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?
