Amazing grace! How sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost but now am found
Was blind, but now I see.

Backlog Burn Act II – Pre-Finale Check
Pretty accurate depiction of how I feel right now. Damn ouzo.
I thought about this backlog matter and it turned out that new episodes were pouring out before I even had the chance to clear the old ones. So I might as well crank out a pre-finale post and be done with it. I’m sorry for the recent silence. The reason is that graduation is looming right around the corner and I’m really starting to feel the pressure here. As such, blogging has to be a lower priority for the time being.

Backlog Burn Act I – The First Contact
With Bad Company 2 out to keep me busy, I haven’t had much time to watch anime yet. Still I wasn’t feeling like going to bed just yet, so I thought I might as well blog these few thoughts while they’re still fresh.

Winter 2010 Mid-Season Check – Idiots, Tests and Bursting Nutbladders
HNNNNNNNGG-
As the season has reached its midpoint, I suppose it’s time to have a look at how the shows have been doing so far. This season has provided us with a few positive surprises and at least in comparison to what it was last year I can’t say it has been all that bad. Anyway, on with the current power levels…

So-Ra-No-Wo-To Episode 5 – Damn kids, when I was in the army…
Not like I’ve been feeling like picking up episodic blogging but SoraWoto’s fifth episode managed to bring up some not so nice memories of my time of service in the Finnish Defense Forces. Now I sorta know the feeling all the Finnish fathers have when they tell their sons how it was so much tougher back in their day and that conscripts these days are weak and stupid. In fact I claim that whoever hasn’t been through the luxury of military service doesn’t really get much out of this episode.

Nova’s January 2010 Anime Awards
Oh dear.
What does an anime blogger do when he has an irresistible urge to post but has no decent ideas? Do a Top-listing with a semi-random theme or pull off some shit like this. Hooray for dynamic blogging! Well okay, I was too busy with Bad Company 2 beta to actually try to think up something good to write about. Good thing the beta goes apeshit every now and then, refusing to let me play for a couple hours or so. Anyway, on with today’s topic.

Winter 2010 Season Start Overview – The Initial Power Levels
I think onee-chan is pretty cool guy. eh eats imoutos and doesn’t afraid of anything.
I suppose it’s about time to crank one of these posts out. I got some nice specimen piled up for another image site rage, but let me get over and done with this first. Your usual initial ranking of shows running this season plus a few words I may have to say about each.

Winter 2010 First Impressions – So-Ra-No-Wo-To
Don’t worry, you’re not the only one who hates the retarded way this show’s title is spelled. I noticed Kurogane’s post on the first episode and from his commentary I judged that it might be worth checking out right away. As you may know, I stated in my initial watchlist post that I have high expectations for SoRaNoWoTo. But is A-1 Pictures up to the challenge? Let’s find out.

Winter 2009-2010 Season Initial Watchlist
I suppose it’s about time to have a look at the next season now that fall 2009 is pretty much over and done with. Hope you all had a nice and relaxing Christmas – personally I was just counting days to work. I’m too old to really care much about presents anymore – the biggest thing I got was getting me Disgaea 2 for PSP and playing it like a mofo. I love that game, it’s like Disgaea 1 but everything is better. And Rozalin is so hot.
