Lies And Chicanery
So, yeah, there was just one last little thing I forgot to mention: Pani Poni Dash, by all respects, sounds like it would be a good anime. Combining the frenzied pace of Excel Saga and the scenario of Negima sounds, in theory, to be pure gold. It kind of… well… isn’t. Maybe I’m just not in the right mood for it, but the characterizations are just not clicking. (Oh, and the dub work is less than impressive.) I’ll have to revisit it later, once things calm down a little, but I’m not going to rush out for the next discs just yet.
Anyway. Otakon report this week, really. I’m going to concentrate on it instead of muddling my way through raising my favorite critters in Pokemon. I came dangerously close to quitting after I’d hatched several new critters only to accidentally drop the DS and have it freeze before I could save… then I probably shold have quit after I caught four different Camerupt with the same wrong ability before I actually found one with Magma Armor. I now have a box in my storage labeled “GTS Ghetto”. Oh, on the plus side, that trip for the Camerupt also yielded pretty much every other critter available in that area, including a Skarmory. I also learned that the day care is my friend for the first handful of levels.
Right, right, nobody cares about my lame pokenoobishness. Catch you folks tomorrow.
