Random Musings - Meta-tastic July 8

Filed under Daily Dose, Miscellaneous, Random Musings by Omni | 35 comments

Just a few meta items to mention before I go to bed:

  • Thanks to everyone who offered a temporary place to put images. I think we’re now set until we move to the new server.
  • Divine just returned home from Japan yesterday, so he’s still in catch-up mode for several of his shows, plus whatever new ones he’s thinking of picking up.
  • For this summer season in particular, I think it’s worth saying that just because a first episode isn’t blogged right away doesn’t mean that it’s not being considered. I’ll use World Destruction as an example. I thought the first episode was okay, did well with its strong voice cast, and had some decent story potential, but I’m not exactly leaping to blog it, especially since I’m already following SOUL EATER on Mondays and two shows on Sundays. I’d reconsider though if none of the other series airing this week that I’m interested in (Koihime Musou, Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu, or even the new j-drama Yasuko to Kenji) turn out to be any more compelling than World Destruction, and in that case, I’d tweak my schedule a bit so that I can fit World Destruction in. One of the problems this season (and it’s more of an issue for Divine than it is for me) is that most of the shows we’re interested in watching are stacked on a few days of the week - Wednesdays and Thursdays for example - whereas days like Tuesdays and Saturdays are unusually light. That’s why it’ll probably take a little longer than usual for us to settle into a normal blogging schedule.
  • Also, I haven’t forgotten about Daily Doses. They will return as soon as things settle down and I figure out what I want to follow. And a quick thanks to all the people who emailed me about the new ef series.

      Oh, Shirley. Tsk, the last episode was really a kicker for folks who wanted a ‘normal’ and closely-implied hetero relationship in CGR2.

      Shirley… we’ll miss you…

      Yeah that broke my heart to see Shirley gone now… man i just hope someone elese like her supports Zero now, so hope more CC or Karen take action.

      Hey Omni can you do some research on the FMA 2 and Darker than Black 2 leaks please?

      ‘I am serious. And don’t call me Shirley.’

    8. Vsf2d at 8:26 am on July 8th, 2008

      @Tristan: I highly doubt that. BONES never make sequels.

      Thanks for the update Omni.

      Shirley… It was a sudden death. Lulu will avenge you dont worry. /sob

      hell hath no fury like a brilliant strategist scorned :[

      According to Japanator.com, the rumors of sequels for FMA and DTB are false. So there you go. An OVA or movie probably won’t be out of the question (especially for FMA, doubtful for DTB), but series sequel, not too likely.

      Why not blog Birdy the Mighty Decode? Its got a quirky premise with neat character designs, great animation (the fight scenes r0xx0r), and the music is pretty catchy (the ED looks and sounds like something out of Gurren Lagann).

      to stasha j-

      Uh, not sure what the rules are for outside solicitation here at Random Curiosity, so maybe Omni, Divine, or Natrone can field this one…

    14. Invy-2pointOh at 10:46 am on July 8th, 2008

      poor shirley indeed. there goes the possibilty of a lulu x shirly pairing, not that I really care since I didn’t see that happening anyway.

    15. FSTA at 11:34 am on July 8th, 2008

      I really didn’t think that Shirley would die. With her memory back again, I didn’t know what was going to happen, but I didn’t think she would die. Who’s next?

    16. Mikhei at 11:54 am on July 8th, 2008

      I hope Suzaku dies now D: he deserves it

    17. Dan at 12:04 pm on July 8th, 2008

      R.I.P Shirley ;_;

    18. Deadlyrain at 1:53 pm on July 8th, 2008

      @Tristan: Doubt FMA will have a second season, but for DTB it most likely can & will. In that season, two shows people wanted sequels for were DTB and Gurren Lagann. Whereas Gurren Lagann finished strongly, DTB didn’t. Bones is just playing tricks on us though I say in the end. :P

    19. Deadlyrain at 2:16 pm on July 8th, 2008

      Bah want bigger version of that picture but registering on a Japanese picture gallery site when I don’t know Japanese is a bit… harder then I had expected… :|

    20. EvilDevil at 2:19 pm on July 8th, 2008

      Shirley could have cure lulu of his siscon/yaoi tendencies (yes, we know lulu, dont deny it)… we will miss you…
