More on this season's animes + other stuff

[salinea]

Tiger & Bunny is shaping up as a pretty solid and entertaining show at this point. At least, I find the humour less annoying and I'm warming up to the characters. Plus, there's already fanfic & fanart on my flist (♥) how could I not follow? Hanasaku Iroha on the other hand has been much less interesting than the OP promised. meh. The rest has been keeping up at a mostly stable level.

I also started watching C the Money of Soul & Possibility Control, which makes me think of Kaiji or Liar Game (high stakes gambling game about money and greed and despair) except completely battle shounenized in aspect, which might make it lose its bite - bit early to tell - though it doesn't bring out the eye candy graphics. There's also a Rival / Mentor guy figure which I'm finding somewhat appealing, but it's still hard to say whether the show has real promise.

Errr, guess I didn't actually have much to say.

So otherwise, I've recently started reading Vinland Saga, which is GREAT, if somewhat gorey at times (oh boy, the horrible people stories make me like). Sooooooo, is there some fanfics for that fandom?

Also I've finally watched Inception (hilariously, my parents lent me the DVD, but I couldn't actually read it on my computer reader, and with my new screen I can't branch it anymore to my separate DVD reader, so I actually had to rip the DVD off before I could watch it! I might as well have been served the same by downloading it); which was pretty decent, if far from the best of Nolan's movies. I think it works pretty badly as an exploration of what dreams are like; though if you take the dream premise as an excuse for a heist/action movie with interesting visuals to serve a psychological catharsis; which also work as a metaphor for filmmaking; that's pretty good. But, frankly, not great either.

I like Tiger & Bunny. It amuses me, and it is fujoshi bait, even though I don't really ship those guys.

I'm not so sure yet about [C].

Vinland saga has a few fics. You can find them via vinland_saga.

It's fujoshi bait, but not in a perfunctory *wink*wink* way. A nice, natural interesting dynamic. I wasn't shipping them until now... but the last episode had some nice moment so I'm slowly starting to get won over XD

*resistresistresist* ;) Vinland Saga has quite a few twists, and you would really be frustrated if they were spoiled for you.

Haha, okay I'm all caught up now (and awww, there's only a couple of fics ;_;)

And how was the big twist for you? Shocking, very shocking, Red Wedding shocking? ;)

I'm a few chapters behind right now, but I really liked the guest appearance of that special character in that craziest chapter a while back.

the big twist? What do you call the big twist? Do you mean Askelaad's death? I can't say I was very surprised. He was doomed to die sooner or later. Then again, I don't think the Red Wedding was a big surprise either.

And yes, me too. :3
