So…I’m at work right now, and the school’s computers don’t recognise Japanese text (rendering Babelfish useless), but unless I’m mistaken, this link is saying that there was a new Boogiepop novel released back in April of this year. Apparently (from another link which led me to this one), the title of the supposed new book is Boogiepop Lost in Moebius, though judging from past Boogiepop novels, I’m sure there’s more to it, given that the majority of the series’ installments carry such ridiculously long titles as Boogiepop in the Mirror Pandora: Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is? and Boogiepop Paradox: Heartless Red - The Unusual Contact of Vermillion Hurt and Fire Witch. This makes book #13, and there’s also apparently a third volume of the Beat’s Disciple short story anthology out, entitled Providence.
Okay, so Boogiepop lives on in book form, and why exactly am I so excited about this? Well, aside from it being Boogiepop and me being a complete Boogiepop fanatic, there’s also the fact that this book in particular (again, if this really is a new book release) will have been the first new installment in just over two years. Given how the Boogiepop series has typically had a release schedule of at minimum one book every year or so (the only exception until now being the eighteen month stretch between books 11 & 12, Boogiepop Unbalance: Holy and Ghost are Steeped in Plastic Crimes & Boogiepop Staccato: Welcome to Jinx Shop), to see this one pop up after such a length of time really is rather exciting.
Even if it won’t be in English anytime soon. If ever. 
Busy, that’s where. Or something like that. Yeah, sorry for not updating lately, but I’ve kinda been preoccupied with a few things here & there, not the least of which is getting simple shapes drawn in crude pencil to move on tape (lol cartoons) and getting back into the swing of Tolkien, seeing as how I’m actually taking a class on Tolkien myth that kicks more ass than you could ever hope to comprehend with 100% of your brain.
However, I think I’ll try to make more of an effort to get some stuff up in the near future. I’ve recently watched the third Inu-Yasha movie, and I’ve got two Lupin III movies (have I mentioned I’m a total Lupin whore?) waiting in the wings, as well. I think I’m gonna give the Adult Swim thing a rest for the most part, save for the occasional series that particularly catches my eye like Paranoia Agent, the odd Samurai Champloo episode, or the upcoming Ghost in the Shell: Stand-Alone Complex 2nd Gig. I’ve also been meaning to post my thoughts on the first episode of Mobile Suit Gundam MS IGLOO: The Hidden One Year War for ages now…long story short, at least 2004 wasn’t a total loss for Gundam (insert obligatory “fuck you” to Gundam SEED Destiny right around here). I’ll probably also be starting Mai-HiME here pretty soon, as well as Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid and Ichigo Mashimaro, assuming I can get the subs working on it. I may also start spontaneously carrying on about Boogiepop from time to time, seeing as I’ve started rewatching it recently and it’s only my favourite TV show of all time.
tl;dr version: I’m alive, sorry I haven’t been around, expect some stuff up soon.
