Okay, by not posting for awhile I have LOTS to talk about so instead of making excuses I'm just going to get started. Heee.
Since I last posted I've read/finished 4 books? Maybe 5. I finished two different animes and started a new one. Finished Professor Layton, watched the last episodes of Dead Like Me, and finally started Season 7 of Monk. Or whatever season that's before whatever season is starting now.
I think what I'm going to do is make a couple different posts. I want to be able to concentrate on specifics when I talk about some of the books/series I finished. I remember that worked really well for me when I used to post about Vampire Knight Guilty episodes. I miss doing posts about Vampire Knight episodes. D=
So what anime series did I finish? That's easy, Tales of the Abyss (finally), and Special A! I'm going to cover Tales of the Abyss first. While I really enjoyed the anime I was a tad disappointed with the ending. The fight with Van was very...easy. After all the work of GETTING to that point they made the battle way to easy. (If you played the game you would probably feel this way even more since that fight was extremely HARD.) However, I was very impressed (as I mentioned previously) with how the anime was made.
Tales of the Abyss has one of the most confusing plots ever, and in anime form it was even more confusing. The diagrams that would come up to try to show you what they were talking about were no help at all. LOL. Not that I hold it against the anime. As I said, the plot is CRAZY. So I still stick by my "If you're going to watch the anime watch it with someone who played the game." suggestion. You might still get lost, but it's nice to have someone who can explain it to you. Or, do one even better, and PLAY THE GAME! The original format is always the best. Really.
Onto Special A. The last couple episodes were cute. The final episode was packed with cheesy goodness. This is one of the few times where I tend to stick by the manga. Where the anime was fun to watch and enjoyable, I really enjoy the story more in the manga. It might just be that I never really adjusted to the anime Kei. I'm not sure. I have yet to finish the Special A manga. I'm in the 70's so I'm getting there. I'm in burn out mode again where I read too much, and now don't feel like reading manga. It's just how I work.
Professor Layton's ending was extremely cute. I loved it. Actually I just loved the animations in that game. There was something so adorable about them, and they were very well done! I'm working on finishing all the puzzles in the game. I'm already excited for the next one coming out. I think it's called "Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box". Sounds mysterious.
Another anime I finished was R.E.C., which I'm going to do a separate post for. I'm just going to say that it was a lot better than I expected it to be.
The books I read were "Death By Latte," "Death by Denim," and "Goddess Boot Camp". I also finished "Duplicity Killed the Dachshund" and we're finishing up "Fearless Fourteen". I'm in a reading mood lately. *__*
I finally hit Chapter 4 in "World of Goo". YEEEEEEES.
Tomorrow I think I'll post up some stuff about R.E.C., and maybe some stuff about the books I read. It's my dad's birthday tomorrow so we're going out to eat. Yay!
I should be in bed soon.
Work tomorrow.
Physical Therapy is going fine. Even though I don't really like it. (Mornings, peh.)
