Books:
0. I didn’t finish one by the end of the month. It took until the 2nd of February…
Games:
1. Tales of Monkey Island ep 5. Rise of a Pirate God. I thought this was an excellent episode. Tales of monkey island was pretty good overall too. I liked to see the insult swordfighting come back with a twist.
2. Strongbad’s Cool Game for Attractive People, Episode 1. Crazy actually playing this surreal twisted kids show of a world.
I didn’t quite finish Mana Khemia 2 before the end of the month. :( Also finished strongbad ep 2, but in feb…
Videos:
1. Bunny Shorts Season 3. 46 30 second episodes summarizing different movies. If you’ve never seen the movie, it might spoil the good bits, but you still won’t have a clue of what’s going on.
2. Porco Rosso. Typical ghibli anti-war stuff, but it’s about planes. I can’t dislike a well drawn, fun movie about planes.
3. Deathnote (Live Action.) and 4. Death Note II: The Last Name. (Also live action) Different from the anime, in some cases very different. The ending is a bit more satisfying, but also less of the “genius fight” that the animated series had. These two were fighting on a slightly lower level, but that’s OK. It was odd seeing Misa without blonde hair.
5. Death Note: L: Change the WorLd (Live Action). Not as good as the first two, nor the anime.
6. Death note: Re-Light. Visions of God. Animated, and more like a clip show than an actual new thing. Probably not worth it to anyone who has watched the series.
7. Witch Hunter Robin. It’s a pretty good show, though tends to fall into the whole Heroes thing after awhile.
8. Blue Drop. This is another anime I need to write a separate post about. Suffice it to say, that it seems like half-way through the series the producer went to the writers and said “No, no, no… You heard me wrong. I said Alien Thespians! Thespians!” “Ohhh. I suppose we could write a school play in for the all girls school to perform…”
