I won't go into how badly I failed this month. I just won't go there.
What I've been watching...
I've decided to do this a little different. From now on I'm only going to mention the shows I rewatched. After all, if I liked them enough to rewatch them, say I like them doesn't really tell you anything you didn't already know.
I watched Tokyo Ravens and, while I did enjoy the show, the last four episodes really killed it for me. It was another one of those shows where we are told very clearly who the good guys are and if you disagree with what they're doing, you're one of the bad guys - and I totally disagreed with the 'heroes' in those last four episodes.
I also finished season one of Log Horizon. It's a pretty good show, though I could totally do without what is appearing to be a love square - in that three girls are all in love with the main guy. Blerg.
I've also watched a bit more Fairy Tail. I'm now up to episode 199 and I think the show has almost completely lost me. The Grand Magic Games were bad - and depressing - enough. But just when I thought that the story was getting fun again - even with the crappy time travel - we have one of the asspulls that I hate the most 'solve' everything. Honestly, it felt like the creator just went 'I'm tired of this story arc, how can I get out of it quickly?' and I feel like ... well, like I kind of hate the show now.
I rewatched:
Yu Yu Hakusho season 4
Numb3rs season 5
Okami-San and her Seven Companions
