TweedleKeys I had a bit of extra time this morning so I decided not to postpone Soul Eater. I was not disappointed. Of course, I knew coming in what genre it would likely be and therefore forgive its genre-ness and the initial episodes character stereotypes. First off, I'm a total sucker for the look. The color scheme that they used, especially in the town at night (mmm cobblestones, lamps...) and Blair's house was rich and well chosen. I'm a big Halloween fan and that's about the mix of cutesy and macabre that hits the sweet spot. Even the CG, while still stand out, seems more interesting to look at than jarring. Of course, I like the overall design of the world. Maka is likable and I think it will be a long time before I get sick of 'cool poses with scythe,' which looks like it has a quota of 3 per episode. Being a fan of both witch hats and pumpkins, I have to like Blair even though without those things I would probably just find her obnoxious. I usually don't like cat girls either. She has a rather cute look at the end too, both in shiny purple and directly after that. The humor is light and fun... not really laugh out loud for me but not *groan* either. I would say it is above average for this type of series. Death the Kid reminds me a bit of a Tao Ren from Shaman King... though occasionally he looks a bit like Saji Crossroad. There's someone else in there too but I can't put my finger on it. I suspect Black Star will bring the lulzs. I hope Tsubaki will be cool, the hint of her we've seen seems to indicate she will be. At moments, it reminds me of another GanGan title I love, but it might be I'm just looking for that kind of thing. (Hello shot of someone standing on the pile of white bodies.) I'm sure this anime will do well and maybe that will mean a publisher I like will pick up the title. At least I hope that's what happens. I think I know something about the art style that looks familiar... especially in Soul Eater's (the character) case... It has a distinctly Gorillaz feel at times.I love the Shinigami character too... there's just something about the embodiment of Death being so ******** goofy that amuses the hell out of me.

AzurePaleSky TweedleKeys RaeRae Rave LunaInverse RaeRae Rave So apparently one of my friends forgot to tell me he was diagnosed with malignant lymphoma over the summer. Wow...that's one hell of a thing to forget to tell someone. Maybe they didn't want you to worry about them?
He was talking last night and said something prefaced with "Because of the cancer..."
" eek Wait, cancer, wtf?"
"... I didn't tell you?"
"No!"
"Really? Huh."
And now I'm worried because of everything that just happened and all... I hope that means he doesn't worry about it too much... I think that probably helps with the healing process. I know several people in their early 30s who've gotten cancer. At least one of them seemed embarrassed by it because they thought of it as an old person's disease and didn't really want to talk about it publicly. Maybe she just felt medical issues were a private thing or would gross people out. Another person made it sound like 'business as usual' to have to go get surgery for it. I don't know if she was trying to downplay it or not though, but I don't think she was especially worried about dire consequences though she was angsting over one of the long term side effects, though it didn't really affect her life plan. My good friend in her 30s probably has it, but she can't even get a biopsy yet because she's doing it in Sweden and the health care system takes forever... so it'll probably be another four months before they can even tell for sure. But the doctors say it probably is cancer. She's really downplaying it too though... just trying to do everything she wanted to before. I freaked out when I had my tumor, so I don't know how people can do it. People like to talk about how incredible national health care programs are in other countries, but they never do manage to realize that it means going to the doctor becomes like going to the DMV.

Let us just say that the whole bit where we Mass residents have to either show that we have health coverage or prove that we can't afford it to get our standard deductions for our state income taxes has some dreamers out spreading it mighty thick.
