Current Mood:  Creeped Out

Okay, folks, let’s talk a little bit about the summer ‘07 show Potemayo, which I just caught the first episode of.

First off? It’s about babies. Okay? Babies. Granted, they’re remarkably mobile and their thought processes are pretty sophisticated, but Potemayo is a freakin’ baby. At least, I sure HOPE all that poofing out is diapers - although since she apparently wet the bed they can’t be very good diapers. Ghetto diapers, I guess.

That said, it’s actually a pretty funny show. The “main character” (who has approximately five lines in the whole first episode) hardly bats an eye at his refrigerator giving birth to a bizarre baby.

THE ABOVE IS ALL TRUE. I love the green-haired girl’s character design. But then she opened her mouth, and her shrill screeching voice killed any potential affection at the get-go. Fortunately, the boring-looking brunette’s voice is smexy, and she even turns out to be a character of some significance. Groovy.

Now, some Kaze no Stigma.

The female lead does not appear to be being ironic when she says this. She actually goes on to compare her identical outfits. As a viewer, I felt insulted that the creators actually thought I might find it funny.

That said: even Ayano’s dad understands his obligation to try and get the main characters together. So to those of you who actually argued that the show isn’t heading that direction: HA.

I currently have School Days 1 and 2, Moetan 1, and Code-E 1 to watch, but I’m also running up against my deadline for a feature article, so my next Reckoning probably won’t be until sometime next week, FYI.

Current Mood:  Approving

You laugh, but I’m serious: not several hours after I posted THIS, anon releases subs of Darker Than Black 13 and 14. Anon is watching this blog from afar! And I luff him for it.

So. We’ve finally caught some plot for Yin, huzzah! And we’ve had the return of the detective and his assistant, which I’m not so very thrilled about…though it felt a bit smoother this time than last time.

Now, I thought the C.C. clone would turn out to be Hei’s imouto-chan, but if that’s the case then she’s had a serious makeover, so maybe not. Boooo. But the C.C. clone has a Boku clone with her, so it may yet be epic. We’ll see!

Oh, back on blog upgradey stuff, did you notice I finally got tags working properly too? Again, thanks to Randall. Whee!

Current Mood:  Disappointed

ADV just licensed Gurren Lagann, so I can’t wear my Yoko gear. Which I hadn’t even gotten the chance to try and convince my boss to let me wear. *pout*

By the way - I was right.

Current Mood:  Thoughtful

DMP just sent out a press release saying that they’re going to announce the first title of their new DMP Platinum manga line at Anime Expo. They offered three hints as to the title:

1. Characters have hawked insurance and been parodied on Family Guy.
2. There is, has been, or will be a major motion picture based on it.
3. If you haven’t heard of it you’ve been living under a rock for 30 years. (Or more like 40…)

Gee! I wonder!
