Roundup? Not much to round up.

Subject: Noir
I watched a tiny bit of anime that I haven't blogged, but there's not a lot to say about 'em...

Disc 2 of "009-1" was probably the highlight. It continues it's campy-retro spy-thriller fun, interjected with some really dark dramatic moments & situations that kind of surprised me by how interesting they were. Maybe I'll actually buy this one...

Disc 1 of "Divergence Eve" showed up too, and I figured I was going to use that & "009-1" for an opportunity to do a boobjoke-themed post, but really, I could barely get through 1 episode of that stinker. In two tries, having stopped it in exasperation about 4 minutes in on my first attempt. I really should have known better, but the Netflix reviews said something about it becoming a decent bit of sci-fi despite the rediculous chesty-ness of the characters. As of now I could care less if it turns out to be the most poignant observation of the human condition, there's no way I want to sit through that crap to get there.

...and, that's all?? Yeah, pretty much it since my last roundup. The last fansubs of "El Cazador", "Romeo X Juliet", and "Denno Coil" are MIA and presumed dead, now that everyone's attention is focused on the new season. BTF member Hayama posted a link to a decent summary of what to expect. I'm not entirely sure I'm interested in much of any of them at first glance, though I'll probably research a little more closely in case there's any hidden gems in there. Plus there might be some surprises lurking in my Netflix queue -- one that I'm keeping "secret" for the moment until I see it and decide if I'm going to complain bitterly about it or not...

Hey, no one has heard from you for a couple of days. You alive?

Sometimes it can go over a week between the times I grace the internets with my presence...

Real life, things to do. Oh, and Wii Billiards... *cough*
