I did say I'd eventually post something not related to fighting games, right?
Now that I've moved in to a much better place than I was a few months ago, I'm enjoying amenities such as high speed internet. This would probably be much less of a big deal if it wasn't the first time I've ever had full, unabated access to it.
And what better way to take advantage of this newfound wealth of bandwidth than to download practically every anime series from the past decade you wanted to watch but never got the chance to, and many that you never previously cared about but are willing to give a shot?
Back when I was stealing wireless from my neighbors I had to pick wisely, because even a short series could take weeks on end to download. Likewise, I picked the series that stood out to me as being the most interesting (having a local library that stocked anime DVD's helped in determining this). Anyone who knew me back then will tell you that I was obsessed with anything and everything Initial D, because, well, I was. I definitely still stand by Fourth Stage as being one of the best anime ever made, but it's about time I found something at least as good to waste my time on.
So now I'm downloading pretty much every major shonen of the past decade (that I haven't already seen and already have a formative opinion on), a few of those slice of life shows, and a few shoujo/josei, even (I read a lot of shoujo manga back in middle school, lol).
In the meantime, my quest to (re)watch every UC Gundam will occupy me. I've already sledged through First Gundam (dear God, never again) and I'm currently well into Zeta, which is likely going to be a favorite of mine. I've only seen the first few episodes of ZZ, and it was a few years ago before I had watched any Gundam to completion, but I'm looking forward to it nonetheless. Late UC is probably going to be tedious as hell if the few episodes I've seen of Victory are any indication, but whatever. It's not like I'm going to be doing anything better with my free time.
I promise I'll keep any further posts about anime few and far between, but maybe if I come across a funny screencap or something I'll post it here.
Oh, and I might post about my experience at NEC soon. It was kind of mediocre, but that's why it makes for a good story.
