Next: Slayers!

Well it was the popular option in the comments, and probably the series I had the most nostalgia for, but even then I decided to choose my next series by dice roll as I often do. Having an element of randomness keeps things interesting. But still, from a list of SIXTEEN series, Slayers Next emerged as the winner, and will be the next complete series I start watching!

Some things are just meant to happen.

No internet, AGAIN.

Just a short message to say, as I currently have no internet access at home, my Week 12 rankings post will be delayed until everything’s back to normal… as long as it doesn’t get ridiculously late, in which case I may have to move on to other things. I’m not going to even be able to watch the final episodes for at least a week, let alone post about them. 😦

My Top 12 anime of 2015 list will also be delayed, but will definitely happen.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, everyone~

AngryJellyfish’s ABC Award Post

I’ve been nominated by Moonlitasteria for an award project/meta game type thingy known as the ABC Award! Actually, I was nominated over two months ago… and I’ve got Liebster Award questions from much longer ago that I really should get around to writing up too… I’m sorry.

Not sure I can make this post as awesome as some other people’s, but I’ll try my best!

Delays~

I had an awesome time at Reading, and came away with a tonne of manga – Zombie Fairy, Glass Wings, Flower of the Deep Sleep vol.1, The Flowers of Evil vol. 1, Psyren vols. 1-5 and Spice & Wolf vols. 1-6, in case anyone was interested. More on those in a future post, I’m sure.

But for now, I won’t be posting anything much, after returning home to sub-dialup internet speeds. I can’t even load my blog at home, right now I’m in the library! So yeah, I’ve suddenly got a huge anime backlog and no way of clearing it. 😦 I don’t know what’s causing the problem this time, or how long it’ll take to sort out, but don’t expect me to post for a while… then expect a barrage of posts sometime next month as I try to catch up. 😛

AngryJellogation – 5 Questions

Over the past few days I’ve seen quite a few of these Aniblogger Interrogation posts on the blogs I frequent, and tonight I finally had the honour of being tagged in one myself by Caraniel (whose blog I so nearly beat in that tourney a few months ago :razz:). For anyone who hasn’t come across this latest chain game yet, or who is simply confused by my post title, here are the rules:

An Early Aniblog Tourney Exit

Well, I lost. No surprise there. What did surprise me was the amount of votes I was given – 113, almost 42%. While I lost by a good 44 votes, my battle against Cara was the closest in a group of one-sided matches. So a big thank you to everyone who voted for me!

Update – AngryJellyFails Again!

On April the 4th, a week after one of the hottest days of the year, my phone line was brought down in a strong blizzard which I assumed was an April fools joke when I heard the forecast three days before. This took out my phone and internet. We were quick to report the problem, and BT were quick to respond, saying they’d fix it within four working days. The problem is, working days are in short supply over Easter… so it ended up being seven days overall. And then I had a power cut the morning after it was fixed, just to troll me further.

Winter 2012 Early Impressions… Not Just Yet.

Well, I’ve watched the first episode of everything this season, excluding shorts and sequels to shows I didn’t watch first time around. Based on their first eps, I picked up around half of them (8 series) and dropped the rest. I’ve now seen three episodes of every show I picked up, and around about that time every season is when I usually post my early impressions of them all. But I won’t be doing so this time, because I’m seriously struggling to rank them.

I’ve been reading a lot more of other people’s blogs recently, mostly to seek out other ACAA lists and compare them to my own, but I plan to keep following those that strike me as well written, interesting, or just different. And I have to say there are a lot of differences between all the blogs I’ve seen. But one thing that almost all of them have in common is the presence of a separate page with a little background info on the blogger themselves.

Kaiji S2 Episode 5

The one comment I received about episode 4 was on Facebook, not here, as whenever I post something on my blog Facebook tells all my ‘friends’ about it. Though it would increase the number of views and comments… *tags post as AngryJellyfail*. As I say I did get just the one comment on Facebook, but it was telling me to stop spoiling the series. Facebook seems to take the first few words and the last image and spreads them across my wall, which I fully accept could result in unwanted spoilers. Hence why this boring drivel makes up my first 100 words.

No epic gambling in Kaiji this time either. 😦
