Dearth certificate

Sorry for the general dearth of posting around here lately. There just hasn't really been very much to talk about.

My life is not a major source of excitement even at the best of times. And as to anime, I've pretty much run the lot. (Ohnoes! I've reached the end of otakuhood!) I've got the first half of Ouran High School Host Club sitting unopened and unwatched, and I've got the full season of Mushishi likewise unopened and unwatched.

Neither of them are really calling out to me.

The only significant title that's upcoming that I'm looking forward to is Gakuen Alice, and that's scheduled for June 30. (At least we have a date now.)

I've been doing a bit of pacing-in-place by linking to stuff I've seen that was at least mildly interesting, but I don't have anything in the way of original material now. So my apologies, but I fear it's going to keep going like this for a while.

UPDATE: Actually, I'm also looking forward to Ikki Tousen: Dragon Destiny, but we don't have a date on that one yet, either.

1 The way you panned Genshiken was delectable.

2 I think the way I experience Genshiken is different because I was rather heavily involved in early manga and anime fandom.  And I read the comic before watching the series, which allowed me to mentally fill in some of the gaps and character development the anime couldn't cover.
But basically it was because I knew those people, for better or worse.
Still, as I've mentioned before I enjoy Steven's reviews.  They have proven very useful to me, both the raves and the pans.  More useful than the reviews at ANN, and infinitely more useful than Solomon's anti-reviews from his personal negative universe.
(And this isn't just flattery, Steven.  But I think you know that.)
