My Anime List

I was pointed towards MyAnimeLIst.net earlier today. I watch far too much anime and keeping track of what I’ve seen and haven’t becomes a chore. Especially since I’m a compulsive hoarder. I used to maintain a text file, but that started to be too much effort. Tried a few anime listing programs but they never really fit my needs. ANN’s listing system sucks shit to actually add stuff to (plus ANN itself is an utter cesspit and if it wasn’t for the encyclopedia I’d never visit it) and generally nothing’s ever worked for me. Until now.

So yeah, got my Anime List up there now. Pretty much complete, though I’m sure some stuff has fallen through the cracks. Nagi’s upped his list too, and Marmot’s had one longer than either of us. Feel free to add us so we can all be nakayoshi dangofriends.

As My Wallet Gently Weeps

God damn you Wave. As if it wasn’t enough that you make awesome Tama-nee figures, not to mention all those Evangelion Angel Girls you made me buy… you had to go and make SD versions. And now you’ve gone and announced three new ones. Bastards. You’ve made my wallet cry.

Tabris XX nano! Zeruel XX nano! Leliel XX nano!

Priecia

Been a while since my last trace, but I think the wait was worth it. Priecia from Prism Ark. This one took me several days, mainly because of the amount of detail in it - I have a newfound respect for lace makers. Sadly, while Prism Ark has incredibly good character art, it doesn’t have much in terms of plot. It’s not terrible or anything, but there are many better shows to waste your time on first.

Now, I’m heading to bed. Doing all the detail work on this has fucked my arm - I need a new chair, this one is too low and any heavy-duty mousing is resulting in pain. :(

EDIT: Re-uploaded with a fixed version that has all the lines turned on. Somehow I toggled one set of lines off and didn’t notice it.

Anime Trip Report: Saturday 6th October

There was nothing new that was worthwhile on Friday night, thus I have skipped to Saturday. Once again I failed to get this entry written while it’s actually current - I spent most of Sunday running the Rat Maze at IKEA with my sister and then being forced to assemble her stuff. I swear, IKEA is proof that Sweden has a grudge against the rest of the world. Anyway, four new shows this time. Shugo Chara, Gundam 00, Kimikiss and ef ~ a tale of memories.

Anime Trip Report: Wednesday 3rd and Thursday 4th October

Couldn’t be arsed blogging teh animuz on thursday night, I was busy tweaking my WoW interface (damn you for getting me into this Nagi) and there were only two shows on Wednesday anyway. And by that I mean thursday since that’s when they hit in reality. Anyway I intended to do this last night but I ended up passing out and then today I was busy being the family tech support guy all day. But that’s enough whining. Today I will be talking about Clannad, Dragonaut, Ninomiya-kun, Shana II and You’re Under Arrest: Full Throttle.
