   Dear Hell’s Kitchen, I like tennis!
Maribel left, eh, I could care less. She didn’t do anything really noteworthy; she wasn’t especially interesting, simply mediocre. She could easily be a chef at restaurant like Chilli’s or Applebee’s. I think that’s how she got so far, is that she doesn’t stand out at all. So Chef didn’t notice her until now.

Whoo boy, so Sara and Virginia are all that’s left on the red team. xD This cracks me up. I wish that they wouldn’t combine teams… I want to see Virginia and Sara just squabble at no end. That would be awesome. On the blue team side, I was rather impressed with Keith, given the chance; he makes a half decent leader. Garret, gosh, what crawled up his butt? He always seems to be wound up extra tight during dinner service. When anyone tries to give him a hand, he’s snappish. I know, having someone else come to your station can be unnerving, it’s like ‘Hello there, you suck, I’m here to fix your mistakes.’ Well, suck it up Garret, it’s either that or you have Ramsey shrieking at you.

Sara will doom the kitchen next week. I know it. The Blue team finally got to finish an entire service, Sara will destroy that. Again, my biggest complaint is her “me first” mentality. NO. If you want to be a chef, it should be “Kitchen First”. Instead of focusing so much on ‘how can I screw everyone else over’ focus on ‘how can I cook this so well, Ramsey will have to acknowledge it?’. If she wants her own fancy restaurant so bad, I want to see her actually work for it.

I’m aware that post production editing often skews people’s personalities on reality tv, but I don’t care. We need someone to hate, right?

Who’s the “mysterious” woman that comes between Keith and Garret? It’s not Heather, if it was, it would’ve happened sooner. Sara? HAHA and I’m Miss Teen USA…. It’s Virginia. Its obvious, she has that very coquettish behavior. And she’s a priss. Guys like prisses fro some reason.

Can’t wait til next week!

So yeah, I checked out Toonami Jetstream. The quality of the service is okay, the videos “stalled” frequently on me. It’s not the same quality as AS Fix…then again…this is a brand new service, so there’s going to be an extra load on the server and it’s new so it’s still a little buggy…but I think in a few weeks it’ll get better.

I actually liked Hikaru no Go. I couldn’t get into the manga, prolly because I hopped right into the middle and then hopped out. The anime, I liked, but I prolly wont give the manga a second chance. It was a decent dub, the only voice I didn’t care for much was Hikaru…everyone else was decent. The animation was on par with normal tv stuff, nothing spectacular. The opening was forgettable, the ending was good and the BGM was appropriate….I think. I will definitely watch this…

MAR (Maruchen Awakens Romance). Was fairly standard, it followed the manga pretty closely (YAWN) if it doesn’t deviate some from it, I’ll end up getting bored…. Or not…depends… Usually if I read a manga then see the anime I’m more interested in it than I would be if I saw the anime then read the manga. Anyhow, the dubbing was decent… nothing really bad, but nothing remarkable either. Haha. I think it’s interesting that Spike Spigel, Shinji’s VA is Ginta’s. I smell some EvaxMAR fan fics…The animation was a little sub par, personally. It was standard fare across the board. I will keep watching it, just to see if it’s worth watching or just reading.

The Prince of Tennis. YES I WATCHED IT. It’s not bad. Haha. But at least from the first episode it seems pretty clichéd for a shouen sports series…. Haha not that I’m familiar with a lot of shouen sports series…but it seems a little predictable. Anyhow. It’s a guilty pleasure for me. I feel so cheesy for liking it though.

Haha, just to embarrass myself. Anime I normally wouldn’t admit to watching:
Grenadier
Prince of Tennis
Ichigo 100%
Pretear
Kaleido Star
Sailor Moon (Live Action)
