UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

Ok, this show has convinced me that I need to go back to the doctor. I’ve never seen so many nicely shaped, thoroughly uncovered breasts in my life — and not cared.

I mean, really, what’s wrong with me? Do I need to start taking the v-i-a-g-r-a spam seriously?

I downloaded and watched season 1 and the first episode of season 2, plus the S1 special last night. And you know? I just don’t care to keep watching it, even though S2 is where it’s supposed to get good. It actually feels wrong, after the cute/happy/fluffy feel of the first series.

Well, except I didn’t think it was happy or fluffy. So what are my problems with this show?

Bored Again…

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

Don’t ask me how I can be this busy and bored at the same time. But I am. So here’s the results of a few minutes with the Automotivator. Warning! NSFW below the fold!

Imagine Breaker

Sunday, November 22nd, 2009

Ok, I just finished watching the last few episodes of To Aru Majutsu no Index, and I have three observations, two of which are spoilers (one speculative) and so I’m putting them below the fold.

I Want One!

Monday, November 16th, 2009

This post has been sitting around a while, probably because posting it would have been a bit of “me-too-ism” from wherever I got it. Either Chizumatic or the Pond, most likely. Brickmuppet’s? Enh, dunno. But anyway….

Automated paintball gun in a briefcase — it was a testbed development project by a hobbyist in Jacksonville, FL. Now he’s got them ready for market!

Remove the electronics and sensor suite, then hook it up to my Imperial Armada-surplus turbo-laser turrets, and my secret lair has a new defense system. Muahahahahahah!

Index’s Power

Monday, November 16th, 2009

At Chizumatic, Steven remarks in the comments,

“The potential present in the premise about Index is intriguing, but if it were fully developed she’d be too strong, too overwhelming.”

Indeed. In The Dresden Files, (series) the author takes the concept and runs with it in one book. With a small girl, no less. (I wonder if he was reading the manga….) And yes, she’s insanely powerful; she holds off three major demons with ridiculous ease. They only defeated her by luring her into a trap that cut off the flow of magic; once she exhausted her innate supply, she was vulnerable.

(Posted this bit of nothing here, since Steven doesn’t like sidetracks)

In any case, I’m downloading the season, and will give it a second chance; apparently it finishes strongly with an arc about the Railgun. Which I’m still following that series, and Kampfer. Don’t ask me why I’m still following Kampfer.

Mahoromatic Tadaima Okaeri

Saturday, November 14th, 2009

I watched part of this earlier, but am I correct in assuming that this is a new OVA set in the middle of the original series? Looks like they were trying to say it was at the point where Mahoro has only 270 days left.

Is it just an “extra” adventure or is it an attempt to rewrite the end of the series? And what does Tadaima Okaeri mean? SFW didn’t bother to translate it, nor some signs and flashed graphics that might have been important.

Ehhhhhhhh…

My mind comes up with seriously weird stuff when I’m half-awake.
