Eep! Today is supposed to be the day my exam results come out *engages in mild panic*. I'll
let you know how that goes tomorrow, hopefully, when LITTLE HEART begins again! I have a feeling
it's going to be a good week (touch wood), though it's been murderously hot here the past
two days and it's not due to change (we had a helluva thunderstorm last night - best one
I've seen in a very long time ^_^). For four or five hours of yesterday, it was just too
damn hot to draw, otherwise I'd be well ahead. As it is, I'm drawn up to Wednesday, which
should hopefully be enough.
I like this page. I like it, chiefly, because of Tink's speech in panel 2, and, of course,
because I love Mike's attitude. That's about it, really. I still haven't managed to get Tink
looking attractive enough, though I'm getting there (well, she looks better than she did in
her first appearance, way back in November of last year).
Anime! Yesterday, I rewatched some Boogiepop Phantom. Words cannot express how much I love
that series, with its complexity, its wacky style, and its stunning plot. The commentaries are
also good, a nice change for a DVD release of an asian production (often, because the commentaries
are by 'experts' instead of people who were actually involved in the project, they're dire).
It manages to be entertaining and informative without ever going over the fine line of giving
too much away.
I also finally got round to .Hack//Roots 12 and Ouran 12. Roots first; I really enjoyed this
episode. It seemed to manage quite a lot (particularly given the series' tendency to waste
screen minutes). I'm just frustrated that Haseo and Shino can't get their act together and
kiss already. Sure, the .Hack//Thing is unstated, repressed love, but it's just getting
ridiculous... Also, the whole plot with the Sign and the virus-thing seems to have evaporated.
Ouran was... strange. Bits of it were hilarious - particularly the bit near the start where
Honey turned into some sort of Akira-wannabe - but it was also a little... strung-out, I guess.
It was a throw-in joke turned into a whole episode and the whole bit with Mori was just
unconvincing. It's too late to start trying to inject him with a personality - a fact demonstrated
by his inability to even so much as twitch a single facial muscle when confronted with a girl
confessing her love. And who the hell gave Renge-chan a microphone? How is that a good idea?
More tomorrow!
Wub, Rik
