You got a lot of anime watching in! Your weekend good wishes are timely for me, as today is effectively my Saturday. Up until a few minutes ago, it was a planned "stay in my pjs and watch movies all day" day, but Jason needs a place to hang out until his ride gets out of work. Oh, well. Needed to register my car anyway.
Work Break!

Holy moley! Another blog from me! Actually I am just taking a break from work at the moment because I feel my brain is about to explode from typing up a Design document. I hope everyone had a good weekend! (even though two days later saying that) My weekend was interesting and busyish.
I helped my mom clean a friend apartment and I got $50 out of it huzzah! I completely forgot how long it actually takes to clean an entire place...but then again it would have went a bit faster had it not been months of dust piling up. It was very tiresome. Alas I did not get to play Xillia on Saturday, like I wanted to because of this and then going food shopping. So instead I made it an anime day! What exciting anime was I watching?
Free! is a swimming club anime and it's the second sports anime I actually really really like. I doubt there will be a second season for it but never can say never about things like that! It's a nice watch in my opinion. The story is the typical a group of friends got split up but suddenly come together again. Unfortunately their one friend Rin, wasn't the same and had quit swimming, he goes to a different school than the other 3 and doesn't wish to really get along with them. So in order to get Rin back into swimming Haruka, Makoto, Nagisa, and new comer Rei create a swim team in order to compete against Rin.
The next anime is called Genei wo Kakeru Taiyou. This anime reminds me a lot of Madoka Magicka, but with Tarot Cards and not as super confusing. It still is a bit of a dark anime but again very enjoyable! The story revolves around a group of girls who are unable to escape their fate of fighting in this gruesome fight. All the while they struggle with why they have to do this and if there may be a better way to go about the fight.
Inu to Hasami wa Tsukaiyou is a not so serious anime but still can have its moments. It's about a boy who loves, I mean LOVES, to read. He is renting out 2 apartments, one for him and the other for his library. One day he is out and about and luck has it he runs into a robbery gone wrong. He ends up protecting a woman who was writing and ends up getting killed. Turns out he wakes up in the body of a dog and this crazy woman with siccors can hear what he says as a dog. Turns out the lady was the one he protected and is none other than his absolute favorite author. So they end up living together and thus begins their crazy life together!
Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi is a very interesting anime, it has taken a different turn from what I thought it was gonna have. Which I mean it changed a lot. It's a story about how God has abandoned the world, as a result no one can reproduce or die. A little girl named Ai is the gravekeeper for a village. She ends up meeting a man called Hampnie Hambart, aka the man eatting toy. This is a happy moment for Ai as it's the name her dead mother told her was her father. Sadly he ends up slaughtering Ai's village and she has no idea why. It's such an interesting story concept how the living and dead coexist in the world and that the gravekeepers are actually no very well liked throughout it since they are ment to bury the dead. A highly recommend this as a must watch!
Makai Ouji: Devils and Realist, another good anime. It does kind of have some shoun-ai tendencies (light boy love) but it's not over bearing. It's about this boy named William who suddenly can no longer pay for his school tuition because he is now broke. So he ends up searching his home for something to sell but stumbles upon a summoning circle and unintentionally summons a devil. This devil turns out to be named Dantalion and tells William he is the designator and that he has the ability to pick the acting ruler of the demon world. William thinks he is nuts because he is a realist, hence in the title, and does not want to select a ruler. It is a pretty funny anime but also has the serious moments. It blends them nicely though where it's not super funny and then suddenly out of no where a serious moment happens.
Servant x Service is an anime going about the everyday life of a civil servant in Japan. I love this anime, it reminds me a lot of Working!!. You have three new hires who each bring their own talent to the job, their boss a pink bunny, a higher up who is pretty useless for working as long as his has that has a sister with a big brother complex, and a temp who is a huge fan of cosplaying. My favorite character in this is Hasebe because he is the new higher that slacks off all the time but he is super knowledgeable in various things. He literally shocks everyone with when he comes to the rescue and somehow turns the situation from bad to easy. If you ever saw Working!!, you will most likely like this anime as well.
Gaming wise I dove in all day this past Sunday into Tales of Xillia. I finished Chapter 1 yesterday in the game and I am loving it! I have been obsessed with trying to get everything possible in my first play through. I am running through it as Jude first and then Milla eventually. I will say I am not crazy about how they removed the overworld and turned it into something similar to FFXIII but I do like how they give you a main map to fast travel between places. I do like how they changed the way you acquire artes and the upgrade to the shops. I was not super crazy about the story right away but it has been slowly growing more and more on me. Not to say the story is terrible, it is a good story. I just feel it took a little to pick up a bit and get going.
I am hoping to have some of my crating projects up by this week and to start up my Personal blog again over on Wordpress! So that's my next plan of attack!
Anyways, back to work! Hope everyone has a good rest of the week!
