Call it M, or whatever, but with Spring in full-assault, I really don’t feel like dropping anything; I’m pleased with the mix. So though I won’t be dropping, I’ve purposely moved a couple series to the backlog (while others have wound up there from finals week v_v/sad).
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
I still can’t believe corporate is calling this Brotherhood. Seriously, wtf, the damn show does not even mention Brotherhood anywhere. Small issue lol.
The real reason to backlog this is much in the same as 2008’s Xamdou; batch viewing. Naturally, I pretty much get the gist of FMA after the 2003 series, and I hear this one may stick to the manga material I’m unfamiliar with, fab, but…
At the moment, single-episode viewing is sort of meh, even with the extra-ordinary pacing. Sincerely, Bro, I’d rather watch 4-6 at at time.
Pandora Hearts
[this blank saves your eyes from anything that may have been considered a screencap]
Awesome Alice premise. Not sure about wonderland crossover, but this series has taken my interest even with the horrid rip/raw/4:3 and subgroups making 720p from SD (yes, sometimes we must invest in new lolmeters). I’ve viewed 3 episodes, they did get better with progress.
Anyway, I feel this would also be worthwhile in batches (The B in Backlog stands for Batch, right?). Somewhere in the first couple episodes I thought it was much too slow with details, but it turns out the pacing is rather nice, and that bothers me if Hearts is going to be a single-season swinger (13 weeks). SO, 綺麗なビデオよりを待たなければならないんです。(I think that particle needs to be moved :/).
Summer Storm
It was likely apparent that I would be watching this come June. I have absolutely no qualm with the series, as I enjoyed the first episode jump-in. The character designs were awkward from some angles, but its a minor viewer adjustment imo. As I am not familiar with the source material, I’ll assume this a sort of slice mix comedy seeing the first episode hinted some good details, but hardly any indication of plot. Summertime~
Basically everything else is cool, but I’m about 3 4 weeks behind in half the stuff I sampled from the premiers; roughly 24 episodes combined. Yup, tomorrow at 4pm I bounce out of Uni for Summer. This post was written over a week ago D:
