I’ve had a lot on my mind lately, so despite the fact that I’ve been an anime-watching fool for the last week, and have a lot of thoughts about what I’ve seen, I haven’t done much to organize my thoughts for blogging. In the last several days, I’ve watched:
The last 7 episodes of Maburaho
Ah! My Goddess, s1 (DVD’s 1-4)
Ah! My Goddess, the movie (twice — it’s that good! Actually, even it’s better than that…)
Tenchi Muyo OVA’s, ep. 1-9 (which were quite a surprise)
Busou Renkin, DVD 6 (which generated a new heuristic)
Bakamonogatari, ep. 7.
Edit: And Yokuwakaru Gendimahou. Should that be 2 words or 4?
and a bazillion AMV’s.
So many thoughts, so much to say. So little desire to spend three or four days doing nothing but blogging.
The ending of Maburaho sure was a cheat, wasn’t it?
If they’d stopped at the credits, it would have been decent. It wouldn’t have made up for turning Yuuna into a bitch, but it would have been a strong, open-ended finish. I strongly suspected that the ending was the original author’s fault, but according to Wikipedia [spoiler]In the novel, the side effect of Kazuki’s restoration was gaining a special magical body that can cause disaster to the whole world if he lets out his magic powers. Another side effect of Kazuki’s restoration is the overflowing of his magical powers every now and then causing minor mishaps and sometimes great chaos.[/spoiler] The ten body thing was obviously just to have something that was quickly obvious and funny.
I mean, it’s just sad when the money-grubbing opportunistic free-thinking girl is the one who’s the most honest about being in love with him. And the one that wanted to kill him is the sweetest one. You, know, maybe there was supposed to be an element of playing against type here…
