Today, I'm going to attempt a small, hopefully semi-regular series called 'Character Mystery Files.' Basically, I'm going to post about a character from an anime, manga, or game that I simultaneously like and dislike or that I disliked and came to like and my reasons why... Or something like that. Who knows how it'll turn out? Hope you enjoy it all the same though.
Edit: Whoops! I forgot I hadn't done a Hidamari Sketch x Hoshimittsu post yet. If you haven't seen that or would like to read my impressions of it first, don't read this!!!
Geeky As Charged 5
I have a couple of tests I should probably actually study for, so not a big post from me. So instead of a GAC! :D
Today's GAC: In my astro class, we were talking about the Gas Giants, namely, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Of course, being the yuri lover I am, this immediately reminded me of the Outer Senshi (plus one Inner and minus one Outer sob Poor Pluto.... T_T) of Sailor Moon fame. Well, fame if you didn't follow the English releases which SUCKED ASS. *ahem* Anyway, it just reminded me of how cool the Outer Senshi were. Can anybody guess who my favorites are?
Also during the lecture, my professor was talking about how there's a gap in the rings of Saturn. Of course, me being me, I noticed only the word Gap being emphasized every so often. And then *BAM!* Touhou reference. I'm thinking that Astronomy is going to become a whole lot geekier for me. (The reference being, of course, to Yakumo Yukari, a youkai who has control of GAPS.)
Edit: I forgot about pictures, so... Here they are!
Oh, Pluto, how unrespected you are.... T_T
It's a lot harder to find a good solo picture of Yukari than I thought.
But anyway, that's it for now! See ya next time!

Moyashimon: Tales of Agriculture Episode 8
I haven't posted anything because of lack of material, but after this episode, I just had to post something. I'm actually not going to put any pictures in this post because: 1) It's late and 2) You must see the cuteness of the microbes yourself. Anyway, spoiler alert, 'k?
Edit: Ara, reprising your role as Asuna-san, eh? (In reference to episode 10, with Kanda Akemi voicing Oikawa.)

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!

Sora no Woto Episode 10
While Sora no Woto is almost finished, I felt that I actually had enough material to post now rather than later. So if you haven't watched up to this episode yet, please be aware of SPOILERS.
Aria
It's here! It's finally here! The long awaited Aria post has come to us at last! Praise the Gods!!!!
Note: I went a little picture happy on this one, so... Please bear with me. Orz
EDIT: I was a stupid face and didn't remember that they use the romanized version of the nicknames in the anime. So any harping I have about the names comes from the fact that I wiki'd stuff. I'm sorry. Orz

Streeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeess
I finally finished my big paper, but I still have two exams tomorrow, so nothing big today. In fact, I'm just going to talk about this coming season.
Haven't heard about any new yuri-ish anime this coming season, but apparently there's another freaking season of Koihime Musou. I'm not sure if I'll watch it yet, but I'll probably end up doing so because ofbouncing breasts completion's sake. Actually, on the topic of Romance of the Three Kingdoms remakes, there's another Ikkitousen coming out, which leads me to this question: Should I watch it or not? I'm not a big fan of service + guys (hence why I can watch Koihime Musou even though there's lot of service - there are not, in fact, a lot of guys). However, I do like martial arts, and there are yuri parts... somewhere. Or so I've heard. Actually, following this logic, I shoud've watched Queen's Blade, so maybe I won't end up watching Ikkitousen after all.
For stuff I actually will watch, definitely Black Rock Shooter, K-On! 2, and, uh, that's it. Huh. The rest of the stuff I'll probably not watch/catch up on later. But yeah, back to studying for me... Orz See ya next time!
Oh, and an image for you guys. I was going to use it in my Hidamari Sketch post, but apparently I put it in the wrong folder... Whoops! ^_^;;
Yuri and dinosaurs. Can life get any better?
EDIT: WHERE'S MY SECOND SEASON OF SAKI?????????? That is all.

女, 女女, 女, 女女女! 少女!
If you don't know what the title of this post is referring to, go to The Original, then The Vocaloid version. If you've seen it and get all the references, see The Strawberry Panic! version.
Hello, all! The Aria post has been indefinitely postponed due to unforseen circumstances. In other words, my midterms snuck up on me, so now I have to actively focus on them. And since I don't want my flow of posts to completely stagnate(read: I'm procrastinating), today's post will be something more light hearted.
Today's post will be about... GIRLS!
That's right, girls. And by girls, I don't mean those icky real ones that are mean and kinda gross sometimes. No, I'm talking about the epitome of beauty, the wonderful personalities, the hair...! I'm talking about anime girls. Yes, those girls that you watch on the internets and love to pair together with other girls in the same show (or maybe from other shows!). Those girls that got me to see the light and yearn to spread the wisdom of yuri...!
[/sarcasm]
While I will be talking about girls today, rather than the over-dramatized position I gave above, I'm just going to go over my favorite type of girls in anime. The presence of these types of personalities will instantly have me watching the series. Whether I continue watching or not is a different matter. So, basically, this post is just meprocrastinating being bored and wanting to update. If you're here just for the reviews, I'm sure Aria will be up... sometime. Now, without further ado, let's go!

Geeky As Charged 3
It turns out that the Aria post I was going to make will have to be delayed about a week or so, as I somehow am very busy this week. -_- Anyway, I don't want to leave you guys on a lurch, so here's a Geeky As Charged post!
Today's Geeky As Charged: I went to see a local band and their keyboardist had a KORG Triton series keyboard. This pretty much instantly reminded me of Tsumugi from K-On! Here's a couple pics...
From what comments were posted on these pictures, it seems like Tsumugi's Triton is top of the line. Of course, the one I saw today wasn't. I wish I could remember the exact model... But yeah, that's it for today. See you next time!

Mini-Aria Post
I'm too tired to do a real Aria post with pictures and stuff at the moment, but I had to vent, so have a mini post!
