I have good news! Little Heart will return on Tuesday! In fact, I'll actually be starting it
from the beginning again, because it's effectively been on hiatus for six months with a start
of only three pages, which is barely enough to count. What this means is that Tuesday will be
the title page for book 1 (yes, I know originally the title page was page two or possibly
even three, but I'm starting to think that was a bad idea, so I've changed it). It also means
that, starting tomorrow, there are going to be a whopping seven updates a week. In fact, the
ten-every-three-weeks schedule of Prismatic Vodka, whereby there's going to be one of these
title pages every third Sunday, means I'm going to have to squeeze in seven-and-a-third updates
a week, which is very silly, but works, just about (the lucky day, fyi, will be Saturday,
which in title-page weeks will have a Little Heart page and a Zobbo page).
Speaking of those title pages, here's number two. There isn't really much to say about it;
after all, it's just a title page. However, I can say that part two has some of my favourite
bits of silliness yet to appear in Prismatic Vodka. This goes way beyond the Cannibal Coffee
Ninja... but that's all I'm saying ^_^.
I finally got round to watching the second half of Dirty Pair Flash: Angels in Trouble
yesterday evening. Now, I've commented before on how generic and samey this series is;
it's very entertaining, but in a brainless and exploitative sort of way. In other words, it's
a typical shonen-manga-based anime. Big breasts and big explosions. However, I was startled
watching the last three episodes of Angels in Trouble (AKA First Mission) to find that the
characters, at least the two leads, are genuinely deep and worth caring about (and I'm not
referring to their cleavage...).
It redeems the series completely. Where Yuri was once annoyingly pathetic and Kei annoyingly
psychotic, they've mellowed perfectly, to the point where they're both excellent agents.
There's nothing I love more than seeing people change for the better, so it really was
gratifying. The plot turned on the flimsiest devices and the critical events for the majority
of characters were unconvincingly underplayed (albeit in a way that still managed to be over-
the-top), but there was a genuineness to the way Kei in particular responded to her
circumstances that really carried it. Unfortunately, now I have to buy the rest of it >_<
No other news, I think...
Wub, Rik
