Rave no Gaben

After almost two years of eating almost completely frozen, cold ass-turkey, I decided to take the plunge this week into the wonderful world of Japanese cartoons yet again (on an entirely separate and mostly unrelated note, this timing coincides nicely with my return to the world of comic books as well... amongst other things). And what better way to reacquaint myself with the medium then by watching a good old-fashioned (?) Mecha anime, the ginder (genre) that got me into the ginder (again) in the very first place so to speak? Sadly, it has not been a pleasant ride.

• Sooo, Valvrave. Only two episodes in and I've already found myself on the second floor balcony. sweating bullets and death-gripping the handrail at 3:30 in the morning once. I shudder to even think of the horrors episode three could bear in its barnacle-encrusted bosom (think Mantis shrimp; frightening, isn't it?).

Short little blurb with very little to do with anime, I know. Blame Santa Claus if you must, but I do not at present possess the amount of time it would take me to expound on the matter. Might write more as soon as finals are over/if I feel like it (AKA if I ever get off my ass and actually do something one of these days; it's funny how I can be so productive at non-school related things in the weeks preceding finals, but once summer arrives my inner sloth takes over and everything slows the fuck down (mostly me though: I slow the fuck down)). And for those of you (definitely myself included) wondering "why blog now after four and a half years of leaving cryptic comments on other people's profiles"? Because I can. In closing, I would like to mention the next title on my Mecha-list: Gundam Unicorn's ep. 6. Which, while I haven't yet had to time to watch, couldn't possibly disappoint. Right? Comment if you will, whomever you may be. Intelligent discourse shall always be welcomed.
