Just in time.

Not too shabby, I noticed the clock before it hit midnight. Quite convenient indeed. I almost too lost in anime and music to notice the time. Anyway, on with the post. College today started at 11.25am, and only as I had tutor otherwise it would have been midday. I only had the two lessons english language and psychology, and work only really went on in english. Psychology had no motivation in the class whatsoever, and only two of us, meincluded, asked a question about the task. As no one else bothered the morale almost visibly dropped, and we were dismissed early. Unfortunately it was 10 minutes too late for me to catch the earlier train, as there's only 2 an hour, but I did spend some free time playing Magic the Gathering. One of my friends, who got constantly kicked around by the Orzhov deck, got a Dimir guild deck. It works almost exactly like the Orzhov, but through discarding the opponent's cards rather than stealing life. The creatures and enchantments are incredibly similar, and beating him is now down to who's fastest - my life leeching or his forced discarding. Quite a harsh set of matches. The games had 4 people, and I managed to win one and 'lose' the other as time ran out and I had the second highest life total, not the highest. All in all it was an enjoyable set of games.

I did indeed manage to watch anime today, but not much comparatively yet again. It was basically another episode of Burst Angel (I'm savouring them as they're soft-subbed...) as well as the updates for Juuousei, Aria the Natural, Kiba, Soul Link, and Inukami. That was followed by the Demonbane OVA and first episode of the new series. 8 episodes in total then. Burst Angel had more mecha goodness, not to mention the femme fatales involved. In Juuousei they skipped ahead just under 4 years which aged the main character substantially. He looks more like a young adult rather than a 15 year old, but on the plus side he looks a good deal more like a leader. Aria continued to be quite airy, which is probably the best way to describe it. Kiba had a bit of an unfortunate development where Zed got his shard, the ultimate wind being which he has yet to work out, stolen. Well, damn. The spaceship of Soul Link gained another ally from the previous attackers as mainly a cause for survival. In times of necessity quite a few alliances are forged. As for Inukami, well, it was just as silly as the first episode. If not more even. The last things I watched, Demonbane, seemed to be another overly generic mecha-and-magic series, though the ideas of living Grimoires isn't too bad. That they fuse their power with a person to create an untimate mage does however fit in the 'seen before' category quite obviously though. Oh well, it's yet another new series to watch. As that rounds everything up, till next time.
