Couple of 2nd hand books and the yukiyanagi and Inazuma books are new. The Yo-shu Ohepe book is really good, pity the cover is a bit creased.

Detroit Metal City Episode 5

September 22, 2008

I don’t have anything mildly interesting to say about this episode instead I’ll leave you with a somewhat relevant passage from Chuck Klosterman’s Killing Yourself to Live

Sid Vicious was not the original bassist for the Pistols; he joined the band after they fired original member Glen Matlock. The only thing everyone seems to know about Vicious is that he could not play bass at all. Ironcially (or perhaps predictably), Sid’s inability to play his instrument is the single most crucial element in the history of punk; he is the example everyone uses (consciously or unconsciously) when advocating the import of any musical entity that his not necessarily musical. The fact that he could not do something correctly—yet do it significantly—is all that anyone needs to know about punk rock. That notion is punk rock, completely defined in one sentence.

So yeah Krauser SAIKO!

Gintama: Kyuubei Arc

September 20, 2008

I'd say that Kyuuchan is most moe character Gintama has had to date

I enjoyed this arc more than the Benizukura one though I suspect I am in the minority. The fights scenes were a bit different and there was a good balance of drama and comedy (except the episode where Kondo pooped while walking – that killed any and all tension). Kyuubei didn’t really get fleshed out as a character till the end of the arc and I hope to see more of her. I was legitimately intrigued at the prospects of Otae x Kyuubei and while it wasn’t to be the lap pillow moment was a nice consolation prize.
