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 wonder if I can get the same sense of awesome battle by watching the TV movies? Heh. I just... the book was making me so goddamned nervous that it was starting to get to me. ;)

Oh, you're not feeling T&B? Or is it just that spoilery? I just love Kotetsu so freaking much; so far I kind of want to find him a nice girl. ♥

I've stayed away from the TV show so far because I wanted a pile to watch all at once. I've heard it stays pretty true. But as far as reading the books goes, it just gets more heart-wrenching and dark, and there aren't many characters to love.

Haha! Yes -- a very nice girl for Kotetsu! I totally agree! I like him very much, he's a lovable doofus and rather helpless in a not-over-the-top-endearing way. And I really like some of the secondary characters.
