@phossil i suffer from in stock impulse syndrome ^^;; 3 of the items were reorders since my original order was cancelled on me… but another blood, ryoko, figmas, mm, and nendoroid all just added on a whim because they were available ^^;

@q i’m not too far into nightmare of nunnally yet but yeah, it’s an alternate story, and i believe the premise is that nunnally gets a geass power or at least involved with someone with geass powers. so far so good – it’s helping me recover from geass withdrawal ^^;

That’s a lot of anime on your watch list as well as a lot of figures on your preorder list!

Nightmare of Nunnally o_o Although I haven’t read it, I was told that it’s *very* different to the original Code Geass anime (it’s like two different stories).

@fariz asuka got a little further in xenoglossia yesterday… the series seems to have everything i normally like in anime, but i think it’s the characters and the back story i haven’t bought into… i.e. it’s close to the end of the series and i still don’t buy the whole relationship between haruka and her idol… and for some reason none of the characters engage me… if you asked me who my favorite was… geh, at this point i think i’d say the section chief ^^;;;

as such, i don’t mean to talk down the series for those who enjoy it… as with many things in life, slight differences in taste can lead to much different outcomes – i think i’d totally be into it if i could just get attached to the characters ^^;

@blowfish she’s hawt! ^_^
the mental image of an otaku sleeping under a bridge with his figures is just too sad ^^;;

i actually thought episode 2 wasn’t as bad as 1. basically the material is the same as the manga, so as long as they adhere to that it sort of has a baseline acceptability for me. unfortunately it does looks like crap and just feels shabby overall so while i (illogically) continue to give it a chance… it’s definitely at the bottom of my queue ^^;

@optic perhaps i haven’t been enjoying it as much since i haven’t been watching with my full attention (and thus miss a lot more things due to my lack of fluency ^^;). but yeah, i guess the comments i wrote above to fariz basically explain my current feelings on the series.

ugh, don’t remind me of the xchange rate. ;_; totally didn’t notice that at the time of my order and basically am paying 8% more than i woulda a couple months ago.

I’ve put all current airing series on hold after my trip. I know I won’t finish them before I go and besides, they won’t be finished airing either.
I enjoyed XENOGLOSSIA. I know it’s one of those series where it’s not for everyone taste but I like those ‘save the earth’ genres so it’s for me. ^^
Ironic, u did a rampage of preorders while I did a rampage of cancellations over the pass couple of weeks. The AUD is at it’s lowest rate ever and purchases figures and other otaku merchandises is just not worth it anymore. T_T
if u plan a trip to Australia, now’s the perfect time. ^^
