I’m sitting here at 12:45 in the morning watching Buffy. Season 6; The musical episode. I absolutely hated the first time I watched Season 6 of Buffy and the First time I watched Firefly. It was awful. I just didn’t like it.
Then I watched them again. When; I don’t know; maybe when I felt better about the entire thing and possibly actually got it.
Season 6 of Buffy was the worst to watch. It had the worst main bad guy and the entire thing was completely miserable.
The thing was that it was miserable. It was designed to be miserable. It was intentional to have the utter schlemiel for an opponent.
The issue is that the energy that was invested was spent getting to the end of Season 5. She had to fight a god. Her mother died. Hell, even she died in the end. I was done with it. Then it started again. Fecker.
So, Where do we go from here?

Yes, sad to say I’m kind of anxious to see the new Clannad anime (ANN). Airing on the 4th, so really soon then.

In the vein of utter an total enjoyment. Last night was Eurovision night – more fun than a room full of exploding baby tigers. Seriously, our country needs to get it’s act together for this, as last place is an utter embarrassment (5 points). Ireland will rise again! Let’s see… we don’t have any death metal, and our ability to choose anything even slightly good has been officially eliminated – seriously, vox populi does not work.
On the plus side, we are officially rid of our flatmate on Thursday. I have a bottle of Chopin, a bottle of Tanqueray and a bottle of Noily Pratt. Well, maybe half a bottle of Chopin by the following weekend – it really is scrummy. It’s a martuni party, and at the strength I make them – it’s martuni’s for everyone.
Monday is the last round of viewings for the apartment,but unless something irrational happens, we’ve already made our decision.
Well, it’s 7am, I’ve been awake since before 6. I’m supposed to be seeing the third spiderman movie tonight. all good!

Garm, but the lack of detail about what is happening in the overall story is scary. Because of the lack of global context the story is made more the sadder.
It suffers from the standard syndrome of most shows… we don’t know when we’re going to end, and as such, we’ll just keep stringing along the watchers until the end of the series.
Of all the characters in the show, I feel that Chise is the saddest. We’re not told why she underwent the program to make her into the ultimate weapon, so we can only guess. Throughout the makeup/breakup with Shuji, all we get are disjointed experiences from the front, the end of which is the ultimate destruction of the world.
I would have liked to have seen the other side of the story. What caused it, why it happened. I’m just an analytic nerd.

It’s a simple premiss, kind of like the matrix. Basically the world has been destroyed and the only people left in it are stored on quantum computers. Approximately 400 to a computer, and there’s one for most large cities in the world. The problem is that there is an attacking foe and the only way you can combat them is to perform some funky quantum hoo-ha being re-created at some location far away. EVery time you are transferred a little piece of you is lost. Most of the time it’s dry damage, but every now and again it’s wet damage – and you lose a piece of your memories. Depending on the damage you can even end up dead. I know what you’re thinking, death, but you’re stored in a computer – surely there are backups. That’s the pain of the system. There are no backups. If something goes wrongoyu could die; or one step worse end up remembering only pieces of your life; losing precious memories of things that happened to you.
Yes, I’m a sucker for the Anime. All I need to do now is bump my learning up from partial sentences to actually understanding things.
