00:00:09 [nathanbp]still more of a budget than Yes 5 >_>
00:00:30 [Cassian]Yeah........
00:01:39 [Cassian]At least its not all out sourced to other parts of Asia like HaCha
00:02:05 [nathanbp]lol
00:02:17 [nathanbp]is it making you despair even more about how bad HaCha is?
00:02:53 [Cassian]Yes
00:06:00 [nathanbp]only 7 more months? >_>
00:07:23 [Cassian]Yeah........
00:08:34 [nathanbp]Date a Live 10 finally came out, so you no longer have to listen to me complaining about it :D
00:08:41 [Cassian]Yay
00:31:40 [nathanbp]time to watch HaCha...
00:31:48 [nathanbp]I forgot how much Hime whining there was this ep...
00:47:56 [Cassian]Yep
01:00:45 [nathanbp]I wonder how long it will take from Fortune joining up to her acting completely dere...like Makopi in Doki...
01:01:37 [Cassian]Well the episode title for the episode after 22 sounds like a Fortune and Princess episode so I assume it won't be too long
01:02:10 [nathanbp]True
01:03:13 [nathanbp]oh hey there's a title for the movie
01:03:23 [Cassian]Yeah
01:03:24 [nathanbp]I guess at least it doesn't sound as bad as the Doki movie title...
01:05:02 [Cassian]I guess
01:25:43 [nathanbp]nooooooooooo, second season of Chaika in October -_-
01:25:55 [Cassian]Yep -_-
01:30:44 [nathanbp]I hope Origin volume 7 is back the main story...
01:30:56 [nathanbp]6 was more Char backstory
01:31:06 [nathanbp]Although I guess main story means Amuro whining so...
01:31:06 [Cassian]I think there's still a bit more of that in it
01:31:50 [Cassian]Right....
01:32:10 [Cassian]Has he stolen the Gundam and left the ship yet
01:33:09 [nathanbp]Amuro? Pretty sure, yeah
01:33:36 [Cassian]I think that's one of his last whiny episodes for a while
01:33:42 [nathanbp]volume 4 ended after the Zeon assault on Jaburo gets repelled by the mass produced Gundams
01:33:53 [nathanbp]that would be nice...
01:33:56 [Cassian]Oh
01:37:08 [Cassian]I wanna say there's only a few more of Amuro's whiny episodes but I don't know how closely The Origin has been following the series
01:38:31 [nathanbp]I hope there's only a few more...
01:38:39 [nathanbp]the flashback stuff is all new?
01:39:23 [Cassian]I think most of it is. The movie trilogy covered some of the Char stuff but it wasn't nearly as detailed
01:39:54 [Cassian]I don't think some of the stuff with young Ral was in the movie
01:40:42 [nathanbp]There's a fair bit of that, yeah
02:56:27 [nathanbp]woo, done with Date a Live II
02:56:33 [nathanbp]now to wait for the movie >_>
02:56:52 [Cassian]<_<
02:57:03 [nathanbp]just 3 shows left this season...
03:00:59 [nathanbp]I wonder how bad the DAL light novels are to read in Japanese...
03:01:30 [Cassian]What imprint is it in
03:02:24 [nathanbp]Fujimi Fantasia Bunko
03:05:33 [nathanbp]I have the first volume...pretty sure my vocab is too terrible to make headway through it at any reasonable pace
03:05:48 [Cassian]DX
03:12:27 [nathanbp]someone needs to invent a machine that just beams Japanese into my brain...
03:12:38 [Cassian]Lol
03:35:33 [nathanbp]pretty good article about Ann Leckie/Ancillary Justice/women sci fi authors: http://blogs.riverfronttimes.com/dailyrft/2014/06/is_ann_leckie_the_next_big_thing_in_science_fiction.php
03:39:29 [Cassian]DAMN >Over the next thirteen years, only two awards for Best Novel went to a woman — both to Ursula K. Le Guin.
03:48:08 [Cassian]Did you see the extended Sailor Moon trailer with the phoned in Precure music
04:00:33 [Cassian]Really interesting article, thanks for sharing
04:08:55 [nathanbp]I thought you'd be interested it in
04:09:05 [nathanbp]I saw that it came out, I didn't watch it
04:09:21 [Cassian]It's pretty much the same content aside from the music
04:11:36 [nathanbp]wow, that BGM is very Precure
04:17:11 [nathanbp]I hope Ancillary Justice wins the Hugo, but if I was to place a bet it'd be on The Wheel of Time series winning :(
04:18:18 [nathanbp](Hugo nominees list: http://www.thehugoawards.org/hugo-history/2014-hugo-awards/ )
04:18:22 [Sacchi]2014 Hugo Awards | The Hugo Awards
04:19:33 [Cassian]:(
04:19:45 [Cassian]Why does the Wheel of Time need more awards
04:20:06 [nathanbp]I dunno. I think it's pretty lame that the whole thing got nominated as a single entry...
04:20:13 [Cassian]Yeah :|
04:20:43 [nathanbp]although the typical worldcon audience is pretty unlikely to vote for it I'd think so...
04:20:52 [Cassian]Yeah......
04:21:18 [nathanbp]It'd also be nice if Charlie Stross won as this is his 7th nomination...
04:21:47 [nathanbp](He was on the short list every year from 2004-2009 with no win...)
04:23:54 [Cassian]:<
04:25:35 [nathanbp]I should not read this list of past Hugo nominees, I will end up with too many books on reserve from the library again...
04:28:28 [Cassian]Noooooo
04:28:51 [Cassian]I only have two normal books
04:31:05 [Cassian]so is Ancillary Justice worth reading?
04:40:27 [nathanbp]Yeah, it's pretty good
04:41:15 [nathanbp]the only female pronoun thing takes a little getting used to
04:41:23 [Cassian]Ah
04:41:43 [nathanbp]I'm not sure it's quite as praiseworthy as it's been made out to be, but it's certainly worth reading
04:42:32 [nathanbp](I'm not sure anything could be as praiseworthy as it's been made out to be though...)
04:45:03 [Cassian]Ah
05:05:48 [nathanbp]off to sleep, 'night
05:21:52 [Cassian]Good night
