No, I Haven't Forgotten...

...it's just that with summer, internship, and graduation... yeah, no excuses. I know. Well, with that one series that I'm working on, I'm just about 1/3 of the way there. I should probably get working on that this afternoon.

On some other notes, I've recently begun playing The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess after seeing my brother play it, and I must say, this is definitely a pretty interesting game. In fact, I think that I am actually starting to become a Legend of Zelda fan. Yeah, this from the girl who thought she'd never really be into fantasy. Kind of lulz-worthy, considering that I'm also writing fantasy novels right now XD But more on that at a later date.

Then there was the series I had to stop reading recently... it was such a wonderful story, up to a point. I mean, as a period piece romantic drama, yes, it was wonderful, but throwing in gratuitous nudity was certainly a misstep on the part of the manga artist, I feel. Totally unnecessary. And drove me away from even opening one of the later books to find out how the story ends.

But! On a more pleasant note, I've got a series that I really do recommend if you're looking for something nice. While I borrowed the DVDs from the library and thus don't own the series yet, the Aria series (the Animation, the Natural, and the like, NOT Aria the Scarlet Ammo; please don't get the two confused, because I'm not sure what the other series is about!) is beautiful, relaxing, and brought many a smile to my face. It's set in the distant future and is about a young girl who wants to become a gondolier on terraformed Mars, now called Aqua because it's practically covered in water. Kind of out there, yes, but it's still a lovely series. I still haven't seen Aria: the Origination yet (the third and final season), but that'll come in due time.

Well, anyways, I've got a few things I've got to work on before I continue reviewing that other series. With that,

Minna-san,
Sayounara!
