More Enjoyment of Media

** I'm through episode 10 of Tiger and Bunny, and of course it was a cliffhanger, eee! We would have watched more episodes last night but I was having trouble burning a DVD. (I never watch stuff on the computer - I am fussy and must have a nice DVD to put into my player so I can see them on the nice, big TV.) I am still avoiding everyone's spoilers, but it's difficult, I tell you, because I am a spoiler whore.

** Speaking of anime, did anyone ever fansub the Saiyuki Gaiden OVA, and I just missed a download somewhere?

** I'm about a third of the way through the first George RR Martin Game of Thrones book (A Sword of Ice and Fire? or is that the series name?). Anyway, overuse of epithets by the author aside, almost NOTHING GOOD has happened in this book yet. So far it's bad happening followed by dark, confusing intrigue followed by bad happening. When something halfway decent does happen, there's so much Dark Intrigue that I can't trust it to be truly good. Um... does good stuff start happening in these books at all?

** In other reading good, I have a set of Bleach 1-27 thanks to conjure_lass, and I'm already through volume 1. I'm totally enjoying that so far.

Happy Labor Day Holiday to all of those in the US! Whee, cookout today. EDIT: and to Canadians, too, for I learn that y'all have "Labour Day."

I don't know about the OVA, but I can tell you that the GRRM series is all about intrigue and backstabbing and political maneuvering. There's not much good stuff, no. I mean, a few good things happen, but then crap happens again, and the characters have to struggle and scrabble their way out of it. Edit: Or, what athena8 said.

Yay for Bleach! And yay for a cookout! I hope you get to eat something nomsome.

I can't take the constant intrigue and backstabbing and political maneuvering. There's a reason I couldn't watch the last season of Babylon 5. :)

I really am a weenie. I gotta know who I can trust implicitly and really don't enjoy a constant off-balance. I think I'll leave that for others who enjoy it. Thank ya, baby!

(And wheeeee, 'pine has given a link to the first OVA below!)

Yeah, it's definitely not everyone's cup of tea. I haven't started reading the new book because he keeps piling on new twists and questions and doesn't answer any of the previous ones. I find that to be extremely irritating. It's why I stopped watching Lost after the middle of the second season. It always makes me think the writer doesn't have a plan, and not having a plan means the ending is going to suck.

I hate it when the ending sucks.

Ooh, yay for links!
