eastofthemoonI'm happy to say the my Tear costume for Anime North is done! I've been working on it off and on since Janurary and I can't believe I'm done. It's nice an comfy and I got good comfortable shoes to go with it. Plus, I got a staff to play around with. ^_^ Be ready Anime North!
Also, (something I've been meaning to make a post about) my surprised discovery of Shugo Chara
When I first heard about this series, I had read the summary and thought "It's too magical girly" and had assumed I wouldn't like it and that was that. However, then I noticed that the blogger of The Scrumptious Anime Blog was making numerous post on this series and was a big fan of it. I find the blogger of this site has fairly good taste/opinion on anime, so the curiousity got the better of me and I watched the first episode and assumed that would be it.
......That was over a month ago, and since then I've bought all three volumes of the manga that has been translated (and excitedly waiting for volume 4 to be released later this month), read some scanlations/summaries of the recent chapters in Japan and have watched a fair number of episodes of the anime. It honestly surprised me, but the I'm really enjoying this series and a couple of my friends who don't normally like this kind of anime are also watching it.
This really shows you can't judge a book by it's cover. The series has a cute style, there is a nice variety of characters (both male and female), it has an interesting on going plot and I find Amu/Ikuto fair too amusing together to watch.
Now, granted, I find the manga to be the better of the two simply because the anime is suppose to be a 52 episode series and thus a lot of the episodes are filler and takes longer to get to the main plot moments. However, I do enjoy seeing my favorite manga moments being animated when they get to it. So, be warned, I will most likely be making one or two drabble on this series in the future. ^_^;
Also, one last thing about this series, the opening song is FAR too catchy. XD
