Nintendo needs to re-think their inflatable Pikachu design:

For NDS in 2008: Pokemon Pink (18+)

So I was making instant noodles last night… and I’m not sure what happened… but my kitchen got really hot and the wall exploded!

So I’ve been busy with work this week and I haven’t really had much free time other than to come home to sleep. As a result I’m behind in everything I’m watching… luckily a new anime season means I’m not behind if I didn’t watch it in the first place! Of course when I have more free time in a few weeks I’ll probably pick up more shows to watch. Currently I’m still watching (number of episodes to catch up on):

• Anime
  • Hayate no Gotaku! (0)
  • Shakugan no Shana II (1)
  • Clannad (1)
  • Lovely Complex (1)
  • EF - A tale of memories (0)
  • Bokurano (1)
  • Naruto (0)
  • Kimkiss Pure Rogue (1)
  • Potemayo (6)
• TV
  • CSI (Las Vegas) Season 8 (2)
  • Heroes Season 2 (2)
  • Weeds (err all of season 2 and the 2-3 eps in season 3 so far)

As you can see… I’m quite behind. And I don’t think I’ll be caching up in the near future =( My lack of free time is taking a toll and when I say lack of free time, it is:

Free time = total time - time @ work - time sleeping - time spent studying - time spent cleaning/shower/other misc stuff you need to do = 0

Well I do exaggerate a bit seeing how I did have enough time to write this… but my weekends are dedicated to studying since during weekdays I’m just soooo tired after work (Its usually 1am or so when I get home anyways). I do use those precious few hours/minutes of free time either watching some anime (thus why I’m actually not that behind unless you count TV shows.. XD) or programming. Yes.. programming. I actually enjoy it and find it quite stress relieving… >.>

Speaking of free time… I can’t beilieve I wasted 20 minutes of my precious free time watching Dragonaut! If anyone ever watched/read Gravitation thinking it was a space anime… you’ll know what I mean when I say DRAGNAUT IS NOT A SPACE ANIME >.< I’ll make a more specific post about it later *shivers*

I can easily say that I was not a big fan of KyoAni/Key’s 2 previous game-turned-anime attempts. It really annoyed me how their mouths were always so close to their noses! Yet I had to see what all the hype surrounding Clannad was about (that and I needed a rebound anime after Gurren Lagann).

Its here! ( english )
I hope they have THAT song on it. Who knew opera and rap worked O_o

So on my way home from work my Palm Pilot ran out of batteries and I left my NDS at home. Bummer

When I first started watching Gurren Lagann I never expected that I would be so into it! I didn’t even start watching until after episode 6 aired. That being said… this has to be one of my favourites this year. Maybe I just have a thing for GAINAX mecha shows… I mean look at FLCL. I loved it. Mahoromatic (well its not really mecha… )? Not bad. Evangelion? Yes I quite enjoyed that too (although I watched it in Cantonese, so I sat there for 20 minutes doing nothing but being bored during the last episode since I can’t read Chinese).

So what makes Gurren Lagann such a good series? Why did I come home every Monday night, throw off my shoes and check forthe latest Gurren Lagann release? Why was I totally hyped?
