Well, just got around to starting the new GARO. I guess I'm probably none too original in the few comments I have for it.

( Spoilers for the episode, and a bit of speculations. )

I don't know. Perhaps one episode is too early to form impressions, good or bad. I think I'll give it a few more episodes, although I'm in no real hurry to continue.

ETA: Although I'm still slow in watching the episodes, I am on board with this series now. :)

I noticed this a few weeks back when a few series I watched at the time all had this in one form or another. Though it's probably not of much interest to anyone else besides me. ^^;;

( Perhaps 'monster disguising itself as a pretty girl' is an effective story device, but I sure don't like it much. )

Just so I'm organized, I'm listing, in no particular order, a few blogs of toku actors from shows I watch. (Also listing my selfish wishes that everyone can ignore.) This entry will be updated from time to time as I find more blogs whenever I can be bothered to do so.

Edit: This list is getting *really* long, so I put it under LJ-cut.

Edit Edit: I'm hopelessly out of date, so I suppose some blogs probably no longer work...and I still haven't updated Yuuki Sato's name, even though I believe he changed it sometime between the time I first made this post (February 2007) and now. <--(And I'm usually so non-flexible when it comes to calling/referring to people by their right names (even though most of the time they seem to be more well-known by their previous names)...)

( Kamen Rider Blade ) (incomplete)

( In relation to Seven X 2: Ultraman Nexus spoilers for all of Mizorogi episodes )

Now that the past is hopefully out of the way...( some thoughts on Seven X 3 (spoilers) ) ( and a few thoughts (nitpicks?) on Seven X 4 (spoilers). )

( My impression of the show thus far (upto episode 4) )

(Edited for silly typos, which I'm still not sure if I've caught all, since apparently Semagic's spellchecker has replaced some words in my post.)

Am I going to buy the new DVD of the Garo Specials? I already got the two-part DVDs when they came out earlier this year.

The reason I'm writing just now is because I got reminded of this today. (CDJapan already sent me at least one email telling me to buy about it way back in May, but I wasn't really paying attention then.) Thing is, if I'd known at the beginning of the year that they would put out this new edition, I would have waited to buy it instead of what I got.

Speaking of stuff I should buy, I still haven't ordered Ryousei Konishi's photobook 66. (I have no idea what it contains either, since I haven't downloaded scans, feeling so sure that I would get it with my next order from Amazon.co.jp.) As a matter of fact, the only photobook I have is Rasshii's mirai. I don't really know why I keep putting off buying other photobooks. Maybe subconsciously I don't want to be disappointed, since I love mirai so much.

(As a side note, I wish I was a fan of Sota Aoyama. I've seen a few scans of his photobook and they look really nice.)
