Stuff To Do
It's been a while since I've updated and writing reviews can be a chore when you're not up for it, or you accidentally close the Firefox tab you're writing the review in. >_>
I'm in the middle of writing a review on Please Teacher, and I just finished watching Devilman Lady (The Devil Lady if you want to use the western name) so I'll have a review of that done at some point soon. As for gaming, I'm making my way through Red Steel on the Wii. I'm almost halfway through, but I won't give an opinion until I'm finished. The first 4 volumes of the Chobits manga came recently, so I got those read rather quickly, and when I've read the rest I'll do a review. Man, there's so many reviews to do. ^_^;
Other Stuff
Like many others, I am beginning to question the current state of anime. I'm not going to say it's going downhill, because there are still fine pieces of anime being created after the 1990's. The problem is that it feels like the industry has reached saturation point, or something along those lines. While most of my favourites aired during 2000 and beyond, I feel that the 1990's was the Golden Age of anime. I have only been an anime fan for almost 2 years but when I look at anime like Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, Devilman Lady and Escaflowne, I just get a feeling that I should have been an anime fan from an earlier age. If that happened, I could be a very different anime fan from what I am today. Like many of today's anime fans, my tastes grew from the internet instead of my desire to find genuinely good pieces of art and entertainment, and not just entertainment/moe.
However, since I am the kind of person that likes to watch stuff that is easy on the mind, I don't hold a pessimistic view of the current state of anime. I know of some possibly upcoming series that have potential, so things can't get any worse. If anything, they can only get better.
