I've been feeling a real lack of interesting anime. Haven't seen anything new since I last posted. Any recommendations from anyone?
Random subject change:
I didn't think it was possible, but somehow Portal 2 was actually funnier than the original. Valve has shown time and again that when they put something out it's worth the wait. Which is why I'm convinced that Half Life 2: Episode 3 will be the Holy Grail of video games. Or something. And I still wouldn't be able to play it due to my inability to process what's going on from FPS mode.
Been watching Comic Con footage of The Last Airbender: The Legend of Korra panel and it's pretty amazing. I'm probably most excited for this property in the upcoming future.
True Blood has been continuing its tradition of loosely interpreting the word "adaptation". It was more offensive in season 3 in regards to Alcide's character, but it still bugs me because book 4 is my favorite. Not like this is a tragedy or anything because it's still entertaining as all get-out to watch. I do like a lot of the ideas they're presenting.
The show still commits the deadly sin of thinking I give a damn about Jason's character and what he gets up to. Don't get me wrong, I love Ryan Kwanton (and I mean: damn is he entertaining) but I still hate the character. Jason=booooooooooooooring. Crystal=dumb. Jason+Crystal=Jill Sleepy-Time. And WTF is up with Bill becoming KING!? What!? Bill is terrible at leadership! That's a major character flaw. He's built on not leading. A major character trait of his is loner, not leader. I can see where one might get confused, both starting with 'l' and all, but sheesh.
True Blood also continues to think that Sookie is a secondary character, which as we know is in line with the book series. Y'know, it's not like she was the main protagonist of all those books...waitaminute. Well, it's not like they were from her point-of--hold on. Uh, well, it's not as if all the side stories have her as the narrator, right? Oh wait, all except one do. And that one story was a complete side story and didn't feature any first person narrative, the only one of Charlaine Harris's stories from the Southern Vampire series to do so. I'm just so tired of Jason's stupidity taking up precious screen time from Sookie. Or Bill's non-rule. Or Tara and Lafayette's boring "Oh noes, Eric gonna kill our asses" storyline. Dramatic irony only goes so far on that one. It wouldn't bug me except for four seasons it feels like Sookie actually gets the least amount of screen time and SHE'S THE MAIN FRIGGIN' CHARACTER. She's the one who introduces the audience to this wacky world, and we explore it on her terms. Why can't the show reflect that AT ALL?
*sigh*
Rant over for now.
Question for the day: If you could cosplay as any character ever, who would it be and why? I'll answer in my next post for myself but I'd like to hear any of your answers first. :)

I'm bound and determined to cosplay as Alphonse. Eventually. o_o I even have my costume instructions. I just have to actually do it. :)
Hrm, have you watched Black Butler? Supposedly that's pretty cute.
I would love to cosplay as Ashe from FFXII. I love the character and her outfit. But it's also way complicated and I don't think it would be flattering on me. Hence why it's a wish.
If Rachel ever gets her Alphonse costume, I'll join her as Winry~
Hmm. I'd be Cairne from the Warcraft games. I have an unexplained love of minotaurs and he's a minotaur that's wizened and awesome.
Anime:
Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei was surprisingly cute and funny. I think you'll like it. It has lots and lots of references throughout.
Kore wa Zombie Desu ka was pretty adorable and bloody. Quinn and I liked it.
Ouran High School Host Club if you haven't seen it yet. It's one of my favorites ever.
Spice and Wolf was rather intriguing. I've only seen the first disk or two.
I'd pay to see Rachel as Alphonse. Especially because the height'd work so well. I could see Gen as Winry easily, but even better would be the grown up Chin Princesss (forgot her name) with the cute buns. Also, Gen you could totally cosplay Ashe! The costume's a bitch, but you could pull it off. ^_^ I could see Eli as a wizened Minotaur. I think Friendly/Wise Giant suits you! It'd work really well.
I own Ouran and seen (and read) half of SZS. I'll try that middle one. What's Black Butler?
