Spring season and other thoughts

Recently checked out the chart for anime being released this spring, and it looks like I’ll at least be checking out more anime than I did for the winter (which by the way was zero, unless you count keeping up with Kimi ni Todoke).  I’ll probably be checking out Angel Beats, Maid Sama, and Black Rock Shooter, unless Crunchyroll pulls another Fairy Tail on any of them, in which case I’ll simply pass.  I’m really that lazy, and if I know there’s a legal means to watch the anime that I just don’t want to pay for, I’ll wait for another legal way to watch it.  Although I’ve heard that Fairy Tail is merely okay, so it seems I haven’t missed out on much there.

I’m relieved to admit that so far, out of the big pile of manga I bought a little while back, only 3 have grabbed me enough that I’ll probably keep up to date with them: Black Butler, Pandora Hearts, and Butterflies, Flowers.  I still have about half the pile to read still, and I bought a few more today.  I may do a couple group mini-review posts for all those.

My resolution to watch only a few anime at a time is not working like I’d hoped.  Right now, my MAL will show you that I’m in the middle of 15 series, which to me is a ridiculously high number.  I’m going to try and reduce that number a little, but it doesn’t help when I keep coming across this anime and that anime.  I should be finishing Fullmetal Panic! and Earth Maiden Arjuna soon though.

I’m also currently tempting fate by reading the first One Piece omnibus which contains the first three volumes of manga.  Looking it up earlier, I’ve found that apparently there’s omnibus editions up to the first 12 volumes, which is a good deal if you haven’t checked out One Piece yet.  I know, I’m late to the party, as usual.  I happen to like the rock that I live under for most of the year.  I’m enjoying it so far.

In videogames, I’m far behind everyone else, also as usual.  I should start playing Bioshock again.  In case you’re not sure, I mean the first Bioshock.  Then again, I might play Twilight Princess some more, but that’s only if I can get hold of a strategy guide.  Before anyone suggests gamefaqs, I’d just like to point out that I prefer guides with pictures and maps, thank you very much.

That’s all that’s going on in my world for now.  Except for Naka-kon which is next weekend.  Boy did time fly getting closer, but that’s how it always goes.  I need to put the finishing touches on my cosplay and see if I can’t get my prop closer to being finished.  I might not have the prop done in time, but I’m not too worried about it.  I’ll be staff this year, so I have no idea what my schedule’s going to be.  Hopefully I’ll still be able to check out a panel or two and take lots of pictures.
