16:25:24 <Pipian-Work> There
16:25:37 <Pipian-Work> Was using another IRC server name than the main one for whatever reason

16:34:39 <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 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 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 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

22:09:39 <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?

22:23:06 <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!
