Misaki's flight suit

Don's most recent order came in. The box picture for Misaki Chronicles surprised me, though it really shouldn't have. The pandering continues: Misaki's flight suit is ripped, though there's really no reason why it should be. (No reason, he says... heh heh heh)

Anyway, Don is going to be out of commission for a while, what with all that superb anime to watch. (About 16 hours of it.)

UPDATE: He thought he was going to exercise self-control and watch them slowly. Yeah, right.

He's through with Misaki Chronicles. I can understand why he wants a pause; it's a real emotional roller-coaster ride. I bet he watches it again before he goes to Shingu.

1 Co-worker's reaction to seeing the box lying on the desk, day after we watched it: "Dude, that looks like porn sitting there!"

The chests in Divergence Eve/Misaki Chronicles are my personal example of an awesomely stupid decision on someone's part.    It takes a ton of convincing to get someone else to give it a chance, and when someone finds the program on your shelf, what do you say?

Saying "No, no, the show is a really great program with great characters!" sounds like an excuse, like "I only bought Playboy for the articles!"

3 It's Sugar that I'm re-watching slowly, one episode per session. I'd like to marathon Shingu as I did Divergence Eve and Misaki Chronicles, but it's not possible with its length and my schedule. Most likely I'll watch the first two discs tomorrow and the rest one disc each evening through Wednesday.

I can understand that. If my qualification for a grade of "B" is "I want to re-watch it," then Misaki establishes the "A+" as an animé that I can't rewatch right away, because it affected me too profoundly.  I still haven't done a full write-up on it, and it's not laziness; I just can't do it.

DE and MC together are an emotional trip through hell itself, with a spectacularly total victory on the far side, and you're dragged along for every step of the way.

5 Dr. Heinous promised us a writeup too, and hasn't done it. (Sigh)

6 Heh. Maybe he wants to re-watch it before writing on it.

Sadly, work is going to keep me from heading up to his place through the summer. I've got an insane amount to do.

And intentionally keeping it off your shelf and out of sight would only make the impression worse once you dug it out to show people.

8 I must have an understanding wife then.  She actually believed me when I told her that the superboobs were just to sell the series to marketing.

Still haven't picked it up; waiting til I have the money to burn.
