Tadaima! (I'm back!).

Thank you, for that warm welcome. Ha, I wish. Oh well. I guess I'll fill you in on what's been happening lately. I have been working a lot which is good because I get money, but is bad because it's really boring and it doesn't allow me any free time because I also have school. 

School this year has been really easy so far. My english teacher, Mr. Lion (rawr), barely gives any work to do; basically we go into class, do a journal which takes half the class, and then we go over the journal which takes the rest of the class (did I mention we also get a 10 minute break in that class too? Odd, eh?) and we will rarely do any actual work. Then there's my Economics class, which has the best teacher ever. Mr. Toomer (the businessman) as a great sense of humor and he knows how to treat high school students, so that class is really easy. And my third and final class is being a Teacher's Aide, which means I do something usefull for the first 10 minutes and then read for the rest of class. I have the best grade in all my classes... I'm not a studier, but I just use common sense.

Anyway, time to get to the title. I watched some anime in the past two weeks. One was called Blood+ which was better than I expected it to be, so I enjoyed it. It was about this girl, monsters called Chiropteran, and guys called Chevaliers. It was very interesting.

Next, I moved on to the .Hack Series. There are four anime within it: .Hack//Sign, .Hack//Liminality, .Hack//Legend of the Twilight, and .Hack//Roots. Sign was the worst, in my opinion because it had low quality graphics and it's storyine was completely based on dialogue and not action, so it was slow. Roots was pretty much the same thing, but had better graphics and had a little more action. Then comes Twilight, which had pretty good graphics and a lot of action. Then finally, my favorite, is Liminality which had a lot of action and had good graphics. All of the .Hack anime (and Video games) are based on an online video game called The World which is a virtual reality game. Sign, Roots, and Twilight were all mostly in the game (with very few scenes in the real world), but Liminality was almost completely in the real world. The whole point of almost all of the series is that players are mysteriously going into comas and no one knows why.  The storylines were great, but a little more action could have been used. Also, I enjoyed all of the soundtracks. The order in which the series take place is Signs, Liminalty, Twilight, and then Roots.

Oh well, that's enough blogging for now. Sayonara.
