Blah. I am just about finished with my semester. I’m working on a paper on the Gothic in survival horror video games, which I mean to use as my sample on my Ph.D applications. I have a few online quizzes in my History of the English Language class. I also need to do the other stuff for those applications, like get GRE test results, send in CVs and that sample, so on, blah. Oh, and grading.
Sadly, all this means I’m less busy than I used to be. Once I get out of the crushing despair that is doing my applications, I think I’ll have more time to watch anime again. I’m caught up with Toradora!, but that’s it.
So, sometime soon (within a week, I hope), I mean to try to write some more for you good people. So I thought I would tweak something that didn’t pan out several months ago — a watching challenge.
Here’s the deal: I never know what to watch. So you should comment here and suggest one show from this previous season that you think I should watch. The winning suggestion gets you this stunning prize: I will watch three episodes, blogging each one. So, really, you’re not just recommending something for me to watch, you’re recommending something you want to see me write about. You should tell me why you think I should watch the (single, one, solitary) show you suggest.
Right, Pontifus reminded me of something. Don’t suggest shows I’m already watching, or things I already mean to watch. And yes, I know, you probably don’t keep a carefully-collated list of the shit I’m doing. Basically, I’m already watching Toradora!, I mean to watch Kannagi, and if you manage to find something else, I’ll let you know and you can have another go at it.
Oh, right: yay Minorin dere-dere conversation (if you’re curious, I had to look up “tsundere.” I forgot it. I’m, uh, yeah. End of semester.
