Devil May Cry - First Impressions

I’ve never played DMC, although it’s part of my great backlog of video games (somewhere), but, to put it bluntly, I think Dante is hot. That’s the main reason I want to play the games (aside from that they’re supposed to be good), and that’s the main reason I’m watching this show. Quite shallow, I know, but what can I say?

Dennou Coil - Impressions (Ep. 1 - 4)

The Windows automatic updater just killed most of this entry as I left my computer unattended for a few minutes.

Gurren-Lagann is the antithesis of what I should be watching, with all of the fanservice and not too intelligent story (so far), but it’s just so full of burning spirit that I can’t help but love it. It’s definitely a show to watch when you just want to turn your brain off for a while, but for the mindless entertainment that it is, it’s really really good. For the most part.

Read on for some more rambling and my opinions on each episode so far. Contain spoilers.
