Man, this week’s Doctor Who was spectacular. Just the right amount of mystery, paranoia and subtle terror that will make me stay away from cross-planetary diamond trains for years to come. It’s amazing the creepiness you can instill in a scene with just some clever sound technicians. The Spectacular Spiderman finale was also pretty decent, but the second half was just a biiiiiiiit too thick on all of Peter’s friends coming together to save Gwen and then the awful "power of friendship conquers all" ending. I expected better of you, symbiote. You got suckered in and defeated by the Care Bear Stare. Oh well, there’s always next season.
Oh yeah, and I’m messing around with Battle Goddess: Episode Zero, just slowly and with many many distractions. Expect a writeup in a couple of days though. It’s at least much much much MUCH better than Amaneka.
I finally managed to track down a version of this week’s (well, last week’s at this point) episode with properly synced audio that wasn’t encoded by a two year old epileptic monkey. Awesome. Just flat out awesome. Where’d all this kind of action go in this season of anime, dammit? At least summer’s coming soon with its glut of action shows. <3
Remember way back on April 1st… the Touhou Valkyrie Profile clone that would never be? The sprite maker posted all his sprites a little while back (most had been up for months before). They really are things of beauty. It’s a shame that I still have to kill him for not making the actual game.
In case you’re wondering about shows for this week, they’ll probably be sparse because a lot of things aren’t airing for the holiday. Yeah, it started two days ago, but nothing I care about aired between then and now. ^^ Go relive some past classics… I suggest Ikki Tousen or Slayers personally since the new seasons are fast approaching. I think I’m going to do some random upkeep and redesign on the blog (yes yes, and work on BMW Act 3). If you’ve got any suggestions, drop me a line. At the moment, I think I’m tired of the dark blue sidebar and want to do something with it, though I’m not sure quite what. Hopefully I’ll come to a conclusion before the holiday ends.
