don't be dull, be fannish

Yesy decided to keep subbing Utawarerumono. Just today, they have released two new eps!*is so happy that she sparkles* That's fantastic news. This anime is excellent and it's just way too sad that nobody on my flist is watching it :(

Do you remember me talking about ordering Gorgeous Carat Galaxy? Well, I waited and waited for it to be shipped to me but nothing was happening. So, I canceled the item and ordered it again and now it's in the "shipping soon" phase :D See? A kick in the butt is enough sometimes.

But for this manga not to feel lonely during its journey across the ocean, I had to order another one: "Incubus" by Yayoi Neko. It might not be a real Japanese manga but wow, the premise is rather cool! But as a friend of mine asked me: What would you call an incubus that's after men and not women? *scratches her head*

I'm still reading and very much enjoying "Guilty Pleasures" by Laurell K. Hamilton, the first book in her Anita Blake Series. That's a heroine I like! Anita is spunky and has guts *nods*

And I can say only WOW to Utawarerumono. I'm not even sure why I enjoy this anime so much, but I do. It has a great story, amazing characters and it's simply catching, you know? It grabs the unsuspecting and won't let go :)

I fell in love with Black Lagoon. Totally and completely. That's an anime for me! Action! Action! And more action! Things going boom! Gun-fights! Treasure hunting! It's like watching an action TV series in anime format. I love the fact that the main heroes are not children but adults. And the females! Levi and Balalaika rock *beams* But it's not for the faint-hearted since in every ep a lot of people die.

And what really surprised me - in the good kind of way - was Utawarerumono (The One Being Sung). I'm not sure why I put off watching that one but now I can't get enough. It's really cool. The premise is not that original: The village healer finds an injured man in the woods and she takes him home. The man wakes up but has no memories. But he has a mask on his face that won't come off no matter what. And since the man doesn't have anywhere to go, he stays in the village... It sounds pretty lame but there are fights, baddies, forest gods etc. etc. Not really an action anime but on the good side of the fantasy ones :)

Tried to watch Demonbane too... I'm not sure what to think of it. The mix of magic and mecha... nya... If it would be just Kuro, his magic and his detective agency, that would be perfect (a bit like the Dresden Files books) but the whole grimoire thingy... and the baddies are rather tongue-in-the-cheek-ish too... I will probably give it one or two more eps to see where it's going.

And I changed my layout again. What a surprise! :D
