   Shows, shows, and more shows . . .
The guy who was posting "Shinsengumi!" episodes at d-addicts posted the 49th and final episode of the series. Not only was it about 50% longer than a usual episode, but man it was emotional! Obviously they have to sorta play with time frames and stuff, but yeah, not a bad dramatisation of real life events. Okita coughs himself to death in a pool of his own blood, Hijikata charges into a line of gunfire, and Kondou gets his head taken off . . . . . but wow, what a great series! I'd wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone - not only is Japanese drama really different in all sorts of stylistic ways to western ones (not better or worse, just different), the fact that it's about the Shinsengumi is just darn cool . . . heh, when I put my themes back to normal, I might have to Shinsengumi up my page for a while and have the theme music playing . . . . . hmm . . .

In other news, "Beck" (the anime) continues to kick all sorts of ass. Their band is like, the total underdog, and its existence is seriously on the line with every song they play . . . and did I mention that the music kicks all sorts of ass? 'cause it does, y'know . . . now if only it'd be next week right now so I can finally see them play "Slip Out", which is by far the coolest song they have! Hehe . . . who knew an anime about an amateur rock band could be so insanely good, eh?

So yes, watch both of those. It's important.


Ahh . . . really need to write another essay . . . but all I can think of is how next weekend'll be the long Easter weekend and I'll go buy myself some more anime (Evangelion Platinum number 6!). Other than that, yeah. Nothin' special. Just hangin', chillin', sendin' all my hopes to a very special someone . . . y'know, the usual stuff for me.

I'm too lazy to look up a foreign language I haven't used yet, so I'm just gonna cheat and say "oyasuminasai" now.
