It's been a while and I'm sure you can guess that since Lunar: SSH came out I have been playing like a madman. You know what? You're completely right. I...uh...even skipped class on Wednesday to play. Look, it was a workday for both classes and I did laundry and the like while I was home so I was productive in some sense!
How is it? It's fantastic. Utterly fantastic. The soundtrack is beautiful to listen to and the game is just pure joy. Get it. NOW.
So, have I been up to anything else? Hmm...well, in the past week Andrew and I did start and finish a little show. You may have heard of it:
Yup, wonderful and super cool Cowboy Bebop. I've seen it before a couple of times, Andrew's seen it before but couldn't remember much, so it was quite enjoyable...except he didn't much care for the ending. I, on the other hand, liked it, but felt it could have done more. It had two whole episodes to resolve Spike's story and it somehow wasted it all. The final battle with our seldom-seen, often-heard-about villain was incredibly short, but with what little time it used for concluding the series, it tied up most of the loose ends.
Mostly it was fun just watch with the show being gorgeously drawn and animated. This really is a treat to watch as I completely forgot how well done the animation and art is for this show and the music, by none other than Yoko Kanno herself, is superb. Even those that aren't fans of anime will really dig this title.
What's next? We watched all of Bebop (oh, except that bonus Session 0 episode, which I need to find on one of the 6 discs) and there is PLENTY more on the shelf to watch an enjoy, but what will it be? While watching AMV Hell 4, Andrew expressed interest in watching Serial Experiments LAIN, which I do own, but still have the last disc lent out to a friend and with it only being 13 episodes long I can see we'd run into a bit of trouble. Maybe something I've had for a good long while? Karas? Or maybe something like Gungrave to follow up Bebop?
We shall see. We shall see indeed. Anyways, I've gotta get back to class and listening to the Lunar: Silver Star Harmony soundtrack whilst I work.
Laterz!
