Geeky As Charged 4
It's time for another Geeky As Charged! And once again, it's related to a movie I watched. Well, most of it is. This is actually going to be a rather packed GAC, because if I don't do these all at once I'll forget about it.
Anyway, I went out with some family and a friend to a sports restaurant place, and the restaurant, of course, had all sorts of screens up showing different games. The screen in front of me had a basketball game, and just when I paid attention to it, it played a slow motion two pointer that swished nicely. And all I could think of was Kuroko no Basket, a manga about, surprisingly, basketball. There's a character in there who can sink a basket from anywhere on court, and I immediately thought about him when I saw that point. It was pretty sad.
I also went to see the new Alice in Wonderland (fantastic movie, by the way). As it is not uncommon to see things based on Alice in Wonderland, I had a hard time not thinking about Miyuki-chan in Wonderland, one of CLAMP's earlier works and surprisingly has no overt or subtextual yaoi in it AND IS RATHER NSFW. (If you want to see the OVAs made, head over here.) It also reminded me of a... well... Um. It is "famous" in the shadier lands, shall we say. >_> But yes, very inappropriate when you're trying to watch Anne Hathaway glide. Er, walk. Be queen-thingy.
What Alice in Wonderland reminded me of the most, though, was a lovely novel by Robin McKinley. Well, two of her novels, actually. Heard of them? Really well written, and almost yuri if not for the pesky fact that the heroines have to have children, and that universe doesn't quite have magic. Anyway, the two novels are The Hero and the Crown and The Blue Sword. Check it out sometime.
And if you want a preview of Miyuki-chan in Wonderland, please, continue.
Really, it isn't safe for work. See ya next time!

SPOILERSPOILERSPOILERSPOILER (And Mahou Sensei Negima)
SPOILERSPOILERSPOILERSPOILER
PLEASE DON'T READ THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE LATEST CHAPTER OF MAHOU SENSEI NEGIMA. PLEASE DON'T. I'D HATE TO RUIN SOMEONE'S READING. AND IF YOU HAVE OR JUST DON'T CARE, PLEASE DON'T SPOIL SOMEONE ELSE FOR ME. THAT'S JUST NOT COOL, MAN.

All's Quiet on (My) Yuri Front
*sigh* Besides the continued broadcast of Kobato (YES.), I haven't heard aaaaaaaaaaaaaanything about new yuri stuff. I guess this means it's time for me to rewatch old stuff, huh? Even my manga fixes are pretty scarce. What a terrible season. Also, probably one of the biggest things on any yuri fan's watchlist, the MAHOU SHOUJO LYRICAL NANOHA movie came out a couple days ago, and I have heard nothing about it. T_T I WANT TO SEEEEEEEEEEEE IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!! Gah.
But yes. Let us move onto my actual point. Today is another Geeky As Charged post! Yay...? *cricket noises*
...I guess I'll just move forward, huh? So I'm taking an acting class this semester and all I can think about throughout it is manga like Skip Beat and Glass Mask. I wonder if reading/watching stuff like that will actually end up helping me...? But anyway, that's it for today's Geeky As Charged! Oh, and I suppose I should put a picture up... Hm. I'm hoping for this in the Nanoha movie:
I know it's unlikely, but a fan can hope, right? ...right...?

Sasameki Koto
Pre-Edit Edit: It occurred to me that I kept telling you guys to go and read Sasameki Koto but I didn't include a link to do so. Orz I'm sorry. But yeah, go here for the greatness that is Sasameki Koto!. And if you can't get there for some reason, go here instead and then click on the project page to find the previous chapters~
With the end of the year 2009 also comes the end of the winter anime season. And one of the things I'm saddest to see go is Sasameki Koto. I'll also miss Kobato, but it hasn't ended yet, so it's not applicable. XD I was going to try and release this post before the new year, but I ended up getting sidetracked and not finishing before midnight. Orz I was going to try to release this post sometime during the very start of the new year, but ended up getting sidetracked. *headdesk* BUT ANYWAY. THE SASAMEKI KOTO POST IS FINALLY HERE.
This post will be very image heavy. There might also be some NSFW images. Please proceed with caution.

Opinion Wanted!
So, I know it's been a while since I posted anything. This isn't because of lack of interest or effort on my part. On the contrary, I've been trying to write out my post for Canaan for the past several days and have been failing miserably at it, as can be seen by the lack of a post. XD But thinking about it, I realized that my difficulty with writing anything isn't because I can't think of anything to say; rather, it's because I can't think of any good pictures to put in my posts. So here's the question: Should I not include pictures so that I have more posts or should I include pictures and then take ridiculously long to post something? I know what my preferences are, but I want to know what my scant few readers think. So option 1 or option 2?
We I eagerly await your thoughts! ...If there are any. Orz
Free Time!
So, now that this blog has seen its first 10 hours, it's time for me to write something relevant! What this really means is that I suddenly have time to try to update this blog. Let's go!
In an attempt to follow some ideas of other anime bloggers, I have decided to have a list of things I'm following, which is helpfully on my sidebar somewhere above the fish. But I feel that I should give you very few readers a list of things I have already seen/read so that you know what my tastes are that is, if you haven't already figured out the title. This list will grow as I add things, too. To make things simpler, [Anime] means that I have probably also read the original/spin-off manga of these works, if applicable. Anything with a * means I have only watched some episodes or have not been able to finish that series yet. [Manga] means I've read them/focus on the manga rather than the anime. This list excludes anything extremely mainstream (DBZ, Pokemon, Naruto, etc.) unless I accidentally put one there. The list is in no particular order at the moment, but that will change! Someday. Now, with no further ado, SUTAAATO!
