My memory of Blade and Soul was that it was dreadful, but also loaded with gratuitous fan service. In particular the gun-wielding assassin gainaxed the entire time she was on screen.

So it would seem like a natural for plundering for the top rotation. However, y'all have interesting tastes and, for instance, let me know you didn't want me to plunder Queen's Blade.

So how do you feel about this particular show? Worth it? or kryptonite?

Reason I ask is that a full BD rip just came by and I got it.

Added 152 images from Nanoha Vivid. Total is now 5133.

By the way, a couple of times today when I've tried to load this site using IE 11, Chooser hasn't loaded. That could be because of the most recent Flash update (which I installed yesterday) and it could be because Pixy is messing around with the code. Either way, it isn't my fault and I don't know how to fix it.

 UPDATE: In the first seven episodes of Vivid, I think these are my favorite images:

This is Rio kicking Sein into the next county after Sein sneaked up and groped Rio's chest.

After a day of team fighting, the four lolis are too sore to move.

It's nice to see Hayate's family again.

One of the reasons I like this series so much is that it's placed 4 years after Strikers, and it's like visiting old friends. I also like the fact that it gives me a chance to see how much everyone has changed, and in what way.

Lutecia unquestionably has changed more than anyone else, and it's wonderful. Through most of StrikerS she spoke nearly in a monotone and seemed to be depressed all the time. At the very end she started coming out of her shell. In Vivid she's a genki-girl and obviously very, very happy and outgoing. It's wonderful to see.

Caro is continuing her study of magic and has learned how to do teleports. Agito and Rein have grown to normal size -- a huge surprise. Better, they get along now. Agito isn't baiting Rein any more.

Nanoha really has become the mama. She obviously is a very good one. Vivio is happy, healthy, strong, well behaved, friendly and outgoing, and it's apparent that Nanoha loves Vivio more than life itself. (I mean that literally. At the end of StrikerS Nanoha risked her life to save Vivio, and Vivio knows it.)

It's nice to see that Teanna is no longer driven. She had something to prove and it was warping her. Well, she's proved it now. She's become a shitsumukan, which was her goal, and that is no longer haunting her.

I'm really glad that Nove is a major character. She's a lot of fun, and I expect good things from her.

UPDATE: Whatever the problem is with flash and IE 11, it isn't Pixy's fault. I've been having problems with loading flashes on other sites not related to mee.nu. So it's an issue in the most recent update to Flash from Adobe.

UPDATE: I went to the Adobe site and downloaded an even newer Flash update, and now I don't seem to be having problems.

We're having intermittent server issues this morning. I'm sure everything will get back to normal soon; please be patient.

UPDATE: All better now!

1 Log in to server.  Check log files...  Nothing untowards.  Okay, log into container...  Container not found!!!!!!!!

Wait, wrong server.

Log into right server.  No, already logged into right server because I was just working on the comments.  Hmm.  Two of eight Minx worker processes pinned at 100%...  WHACK.

Better now.

2 Sorry about that.  I've tracked down the underlying cause and shot it, and from now on nothing bad will ever happen.

3 Thank you very much!

4 After the events of last year, my first thought when there's even the slightest hiccup is oh God the server's dead where are the backups we're all going to die!!!

I think I landed on your blacklist somehow. My comments on your site aren't showing up any more. One of them said it was going into a moderation queue (could you check) but now they don't say anything at all; they just vanish.

I'd appreciate if you could look into it. Thank you.

UPDATE: I think it's possible I got automatically blacklisted for making too many comments in one day.

This season hasn't been as bad as some. At least there are shows I'm following. But they're kind of bunched on the weekend, so midweek I just don't have a lot to say. For that I apologize.

Fairy Tail comes out on Fridays. Dog Days is Saturday. Nanatsu no Taizai is Sunday. The Fairy Tail manga is Monday. Aside from that, there just isn't a whole lot going on, and anyway I don't always post about them. (I skipped Dog Days last weekend, for instance.) And that's why I often have several-day gaps in my posting.

UPDATE: Rule 34 strikes again! I found a site called "Fapservice" which specializes in keeping track of fanservice in current and upcoming releases. They put together "best of" videos for various series which they post as torrents (which is where I found their link).

They say (or a commenter there says) there's a Senran Kagura OVA coming soon:

Well I'm still really excited for the Senran Kagura OVA. Even though it won't be on BD till April, its gonna air on AT-X this month. Its the first time the Senran Kagura girls' nipples will be shown officially. I can't wait!

Good Lord; I don't rate on the perv scale any more. I guess it's as they say: there's always someone stronger than you, and someone more perverted than you.

Just now I loaded my own page and got a really nice top picture to go with the rest of the page. See for yourself.

Added 80 images from the new season of Fairy Tail. Total is now 4766.

UPDATE: Fairy Tail is the largest contributor to the top rotation, with 359 (as of this update). But it's still only 7.5%.

I spent last evening rewatching the "spirit revolt" arc from Fairy Tail (eps 30-43 in the 2014 season). I came up with 80 candidates for the top rotation which I'll process later today.

I know I have a lot of Fairy Tail images already, but that's how it goes.
