Seeing as everything’s been thrown out of whack this week and<\/i> MovableType offers the worst tech support ever (at least if you don’t pay them), I’m going to go out a bit and digress from the straight up reviews that I do. Put some of the hated word “blog” back in the phrase “anime blog” and lose all of my readers.

\nI have completed a RahXephon<\/I> review, but the edited version is lost in the ether and I couldn’t be bothered re-editing my draft. You can get that in time, but here I’ll editorialise and say that I think that Argentosoma<\/i>, despite holding more flaws, was an altogether better<\/i> series – at least on the sci-fi scale.<\/p>\n
I’ve been watching complete fansubbed series on the trains, which strikes me as somewhat against the “spirit” of fansubbing – that is, watching it in instalments almost as if it’s real TV. The two series I’ve watched, however, are so good that I could put that aside. I’m not sure if I’ll write about them, though.<\/p>\n
The first series was Beck<\/I>, which had many little storylines I didn’t like – such as a stupid bullying expos\u00c3\u00a9 – but which I really cared about. The characters were excellent and I wasn’t as annoyed by the English as many of my anime compatriots were. Even the whole “Leon Sykes” story didn’t annoy me, possibly because I was not watching on a weekly basis. I never found him much of a threat.<\/p>\n
