It's been a long time since I last updated this blog. Indeed, it's been a long time since this blog was public. I kind of feel like writing something now and again, so I decided to open it back up for business. I can't promise exciting content, but maybe I'll update it occasionally. Please look forward to it.
Seeing that Sakurasou was the last anime I reviewed here made me realize how much stuff I've watched over the last year. I won't be going over everything, telling you exactly what to watch and why, but I might as well talk about the last one I finished.
I recently got into the Love Live! School Idol Festival mobile game. It's a rhythm/card collection game with obligatory cash shop that Love Live fans all over the world can indulge themselves and hate money to their hearts' content. It's a pretty decent game in itself, relying a bit more on the skill of the player rather than the RNG goddess smiling over you. I had never seen the show.
I spent the last week or so watching the 13-episode first season of the popular anime. It's surprisingly well animated for a show of this nature and it's very colorful, making Love Live a nice anime to watch. There is some amazing leg fanservice for anyone who is into that. There's CG for the dance scenes. Yeah, cringe. However, it's passable (as opposed to the terrible CG of the new Sailor Moon anime, Crystal). The soundtrack is pleasant, if comically dramatic at times. Of course a show like this is going to have good insert music and good vocals, and Love Live passes that test. I would recommend it for anyone who wants a funny, relaxing show with some lame tearjerker moments that I will never admit had me choking back my feelings and swallowing them as per the norm. Anyway, let's just all just agree that Eli, Umi, and Nico are the best girls and get on with it.
I would normally move on to the second season, but I was halfway through Majimoji Rurumo, which I'm currently working on.
Oh, KanColle. I've been playing it since May I think. Everyone has heard of it by now, the immensely popular browser game from Kadokawa. Almost every Touhou doujin artist has already jumped ship, and with an upcoming anime early next year, the popularity of KanColle is still on the rise. While the main game does get a bit stale, that's not really the point of the experience at all. Events are a blast with the discussions on forums. In any case, I'm a level 97 teitoku hoarding resources for the upcoming mini-event. It should be fun.
I guess that's enough for now. I will probably write something again when I'm done with Majimoji, which I am enjoying even more than Love Live!
