Days 18 & 19

Man, it is hard to keep up with this when we're having what is without doubt the most gorgeous run of weather EVER at the beach...

Day 18 - Something moe

It took me long enough to find out what moe even meant. How do I answer this question?

However, I think this is stereotypical enough to count:



Kyouya from Ouran High School Host Club (which I finally just got around to ordering from RightStuf, yay Funimation sale). Glasses on guys are just never bad. (Speaking of which, I have gotta figure out where to fit Card Captor Sakura in this meme somewhere... oh wait, I already had that planned.)

Day 19 - Mandatory swimsuit post

Because I just saw a bit of this anime on YouTube for the first time after I don't know how many years of fandom:



Surprising reflections on Urusei Yatsura:

I never bothered to seek this one out because nothing I heard about it sounded attractive. Love triangle? Two girls fighting over a guy who's a worthless lech? Excessive display of tiger skin bikinis?

The surprise discovery is that this anime is both insane and hilarious. It's pure comedy; I don't know why anyone would want to watch it as a romance or as the source of a pin-up girl (but then maybe my pin-up tastes just don't run that way). However, those for whom "This is $*&%^ insane!" is not a compliment should probably stay away.

Also, you really don't want to know what it would cost to buy the whole thing licensed on the used market (yes, I have been checking). Wonder if this will ever see a re-release?

Oooh, scratch that -- Animeigo still has individual copies of all the disks on their website (assuming they're still in stock, I guess). It would still be worth going with the ones in stock at TRSI for my anime club discount, but... I have a feeling I'm going to end up getting this. ^__^

I didn't see your 2nd comment in my email but now I do: I was JUST about to go to their website and check for you, LOL. Glad you already thought of it. My comment above stands though - don't wait if you're interested; they didn't make many. (Then someday we can watch it all together!)
