Post of nothing much!

* So I finally watched Shingeki no Kyojin and I love it! It's depressing as hell and very shounen but some of the characters are fantastic, especially the adult ones. I'm reading the manga now online and man, the art is very ??? I was spoiled by Minekura, I think.

* Do you ever think of something stupid you said or did like fifteen or twenty years ago, and get horribly embarrassed all over again? Gosh, that drives me NUTS! I wish I could stop doing it and stop feeling absolutely ridiculous. I sit there and wonder if the people I said those things to or did those things nearby still remember then and think, man, she is a total dork. (Online, it would only be the Club Jade members who knew me that long ago, LOL. You can tell me. I'll only freak out a little.)

* Do you ever lick the peanut butter off your knife and do it sideways with an evil glare, as if you were cleansing your sword of the blood of your enemies? I was just doing that.

I know this sounds stupidly hipster of me, but I'm not a huge fan of SnK! I think it's good but I honestly do not understand the hype. The main reason I haven't loved it is *because* of how popular it is. I expected something amazing, I guess. Might be also bc I started on the manga which is, as you said, fugly!

But perhaps I should give the anime another go. I got as far as ep 10 or so..

Well, I gotta admit that about episode 12 or so of the anime is where I got totally hooked-- it's when the survey corps get involved that the best adult characters.show up. :) though I do like mikasa a lot, however. :)

Ooh ok. Hm. I'll give it another go. I feel like 10 eps and several manga volumes should be enough, but maybe some amines just take a looooong time to gain momentum.

Mikasa feels a bit dry to me... But I have to say I tend to be quite critical of female characters.

Well, you're right, that should definitely be enough! If I'd disliked something after all that I probably would have quit already, so I can't blame you. :) I was intrigued enough by the world and the characters to keep going, so I kind of liked it already (and was waiting for Armin to STOP CRYING OMG). But then it just really got awesome for me around 11-12.
