16:25:24 [Pipian-Work]There
16:25:37 [Pipian-Work]Was using another IRC server name than the main one for whatever reason
16:33:58 [gadgetgrl]ah

16:34:39 [gadgetgrl]well, now i can ask my question w/o feeling it will disappear to the ether :)
16:34:52 [gadgetgrl]are there any anime's to watch or to drop this season? I
16:35:19 [gadgetgrl]I downloaded a couple, but haven't started any yet (besides working'!! ep 1)
16:49:28 [Pipian-Work]that
16:49:31 [Pipian-Work]apostrophe
16:49:37 [Pipian-Work]it makes me so angry
16:50:18 [Pipian-Work](Don't ask me, I haven't been following anything since Madoka, mostly because I've not heard any of you particularly rave about anything)
17:11:23 [gadgetgrl]lol
17:11:37 [gadgetgrl]yeah...i haven't heard too much, but i haven't been listening either
17:49:24 [gadgetgrl]-!- gadgetgrl is now known as gadget|Away
18:05:51 [nathanbp|laptop]I started watching a bunch this season but they're all crap....
18:06:01 [nathanbp|laptop]or what Sam would call "nathan shows"
18:06:45 [nathanbp|laptop]for example, boku wa tomodachi ga sukunai, C-cubed
19:11:26 [Pipian-Work]So
19:12:43 [Pipian-Work]Has anything been actually good outside of Kuragehime and (arguably) Madoka in the past year anyway?
19:12:49 [Pipian-Work]Or has it all been crap/fluff
19:12:54 [Pipian-Work]Like I think it has been

19:48:57 [Pipian-Work]Oh Sam
19:49:06 [Pipian-Work]I'm going to be in town the weekend of the 11th
19:49:11 [Pipian-Work]Just as an FYI
19:59:49 [Puyopuyo]Good to know, thanks.
21:04:26 [gadget|Away]-!- gadget|Away is now known as Gadget
21:27:48 [Pipian-Work]Oh
21:28:04 [Pipian-Work]Sam, you missed my implicit open-ended question
21:28:25 [Pipian-Work]"Has anything been actually good outside of Kuragehime and (arguably) Madoka in the past year anyway, or has it all been crap/fluff like I think it has been?"
21:29:50 [Gadget]Usagi Drop and Penguindrum (it's connecting the points now, but still kind of weird)?
21:30:15 [Pipian-Work]Usagi Drop shit on the ending in the manga so I have no interest in watching the anime, unfortunately.
21:30:28 [Pipian-Work]For fears it will go in the same creepy direction
21:30:33 [Gadget]right, but the anime's was good
21:30:45 [Gadget]from the ones that aired
21:37:01 [Puyopuyo]I think they're cutting it short, actually.
21:37:07 [Puyopuyo]As in, they're ending it before the time skip.
21:37:13 [Puyopuyo]And I don't believe they're going to bother with anything after that.
21:37:26 [Puyopuyo]So in theory, Usagi Drop will remain "good" because it will avoid the entire misery of the ending.
21:37:30 [Pipian-Work]fuck the time skiiiiip
21:37:38 [Puyopuyo]Yes, that is the general sentiment.
21:37:40 [Pipian-Work]From everything I've read about it it makes me angry
21:37:50 [Puyopuyo]Good thing you didn't read it. It'd make you angry.
21:38:43 [Puyopuyo]Wasn't Horou Musuko in the past year?
21:39:18 [Pipian-Work]Wasn't that the one where they started somewhere in the middle and all the characters looked the same meaning you were kind of screwed if you hadn't read the manga?
21:40:27 [Puyopuyo]I don't believe so.
21:40:52 [Pipian-Work]Yes it was
21:40:56 [Puyopuyo]Though it is a large cast of regular looking characters, which does hurt their distinctiveness.
21:41:00 [Puyopuyo]How did it start somewhere in the middle?
21:41:56 [Pipian-Work]My understanding is that it did something along the lines of starting in the middle of the manga series
21:42:04 [Pipian-Work]Either that or it was playing around by skipping around it
21:42:13 [Pipian-Work]Such that you were hampered a bit if you hadn't read it
21:42:37 [Puyopuyo]It starts I believe a bit later in the story than the manga, but pretty much catches you up without much difficulty.
21:42:46 [Puyopuyo]I haven't read the manga, and I didn't find it difficult to follow.
21:42:55 [Puyopuyo]Though from my understanding, they killed episode 10 and 11 due to the earthquake.
21:45:06 [Puyopuyo]But regardless, I don't think there's been much that you particularly would have liked.
21:45:35 [Pipian-Work]That's the impression I get
21:45:41 [Pipian-Work]I'm sorta holding out for something actually good
21:45:48 [Puyopuyo]* Puyopuyo shrugs.
21:45:50 [Pipian-Work]I mean, nothing against fluff anime
21:45:54 [Pipian-Work]I don't mind it
21:46:06 [Puyopuyo]You're better off getting Nathan, Chescheir or Jenn's opinions than mine. I really haven't watched much.
21:46:21 [Pipian-Work]But I've sorta felt lately that I'm missing out on other things which are probably more interesting
21:46:34 [Pipian-Work](e.g. older movies I haven't seen, etc.)
21:46:44 [Pipian-Work](e.g. pissing you off by watching the red balloon)
21:47:02 [Pipian-Work]:p
21:47:08 [Puyopuyo]Oh screw you.
21:47:25 [Pipian-Work]But yeah
21:47:42 [Pipian-Work]I mean, there's a lot of bad anime which I'm thoroughly burned out on
21:47:58 [Pipian-Work]And the okay anime, well it's okay, but I'd rather balance my media intake at this point
21:52:59 [Pipian-Work]That and I'm a bit weary of doing solo anime watching
22:00:42 [Puyopuyo]Apparently official PAX East hotels are up.
22:01:16 [Puyopuyo]Note for Jenn, I suppose, as she is Grand Coordinator.
22:01:22 [Gadget]oh, that's good to know
22:01:28 [Gadget]i was actually thinking of not going this year
22:01:33 [Gadget]but it couldn't hurt to have a hotel set
22:01:44 [Puyopuyo]True.
22:02:05 [Puyopuyo]Well, let me know if you don't, as I need to organize for my group. But thanks.
22:02:34 [Gadget]um...where do you see this hotel link?
22:03:19 [Gadget]the website says coming soon for me
22:05:04 [Pipian-Work]With how much you usually do around that time
22:05:09 [Pipian-Work]I could see why you wouldn't want to go :p
22:09:01 [Gadget]yeah, though this year there's a month break
22:09:03 [Gadget]but still

22:09:09 [Sacchi]PAX East 2012
22:09:39 [Puyopuyo]Isn't Otakon at a terrible time for you?
22:09:50 [Pipian-Work]Isn't everything at a terrible time :p
22:09:55 [Pipian-Work]Except the things you want to do :D
22:16:25 [Gadget]sam, i'm only going to get one...grab your own before they're taken
22:16:39 [Gadget]next year it will be particularly, unless something changes my apartment move time
22:16:47 [Pipian-Work]Oh? You're moving?
22:18:05 [Puyopuyo]All righty.
22:18:09 [Puyopuyo]Westin, I suppose is the best choice.
22:18:26 [Gadget]no reason to say where i am right now next year
22:18:30 [Gadget]yeah, that's what i grabed
22:18:32 [Gadget]grabbed*
22:18:37 [Pipian-Work]"stay" you mean?
22:18:40 [Gadget]thanks for the link!
22:18:54 [Puyopuyo]You're welcome.
22:19:18 [Pipian-Work]Or you don't know what you are going to be doing next year?
22:19:55 [Puyopuyo]...one king bed? That's all?
22:20:03 [Gadget]yes, stay
22:20:08 [Gadget]i got a quad...
22:20:12 [Gadget]did you put in 4 people?
22:20:29 [Puyopuyo]Yeah, I picked 4 people.
22:21:20 [Pipian-Work]Ah, that's because your roommate is graduating right?
22:22:24 [Puyopuyo]What was the hotel we used last time?
22:22:48 [Gadget]renaissance
22:22:53 [Gadget]partially
22:23:00 [Pipian-Work]http://www.box.net/shared/static/a6omcl2la0ivlxsn3o8m.jpg
22:23:06 [Gadget]partially b/c it's cheaper elsewhere in the boroughs
22:26:19 [Pipian-Work]Well
22:26:20 [Pipian-Work]Yeah
22:26:22 [Pipian-Work]:p
22:26:25 [Pipian-Work]I could have told you that
22:27:58 [Gadget]right
22:28:06 [Gadget]but if i'm not going to school/commuting to pok
22:28:19 [Gadget]no need to be convenient to those
22:28:41 [Pipian-Work]You're not commuting to Pok? Leaving IBM or just going to telecommute alone?
22:28:54 [Pipian-Work]And not going to school means what :p
22:29:17 [Pipian-Work]Although I guess you won't have lab or something to go to regularly like other doctoral students(??)
22:30:38 [Gadget]if i go work for ibm, im' moving back up
22:31:03 [Pipian-Work]Well yeah
22:31:09 [Pipian-Work]Why would you want to keep commuting?
22:31:09 [Gadget]i have to head out to meet a friend for dinner...ttyl!
