Kicks

I've been binging on anime lately and one genre that I've been squeezing to pulp is the "normal guy ends up in a fantasy world" genre. My most recent victim is Re: ZERO, which is slightly more interesting than usual because of its dark undertones, but it's also got one of the most annoying garbage protagonists I've ever had the displeasure of standing in for me. What an annoying guy.

What recently kicked off my anime watching spree was season 2 of Psycho-Pass, and I'm reminded of how much of a sucker I am for high concept media like that. This is why I'm intrigued by The Purge: Election Year no matter what kind of ratings it gets. I can't get enough of fucked up societies.

I was totally blown away by the season finale of Game of Thrones. The last couple season finales ended with a whimper so my expectation weren't high, but I was totally blown away this time. Bravo.

I finally caught up in Digmon and I can't believe the next release is in September. That's to far away. It's also a trip (literally and figuratively) to have actually visited Odaiba for reals. I'm anime, yo. Anything that takes place in Tokyo, I can say that I've been there. So cool.
