I Actually Have Stuff To Talk About!

First, a little update on my Geass post from a few weeks ago. It's becoming more and more plausible that there's something in the works. In fact, we're expecting an announcement around 10/10 (give or take when people start uploading scans). No one knows what it is, but I'm remaining positive about it...and that's saying something. About a year ago, if someone told me that they wanted more Geass, I'd say, "Whatever. If Lloyd's around, I'll watch it.". While the latter is still very much true, I've been missing the series lately. (Definitely due to the lack of mecha, recently.) So, I'm really excited about next month's announcement. ^^

Second, continuing with the mecha trend, I found information about the next G00 character single. On 10/21, Feldt's single will be released. So, this series seems to be a bi-monthly release, which means that Hamu's will be out around Christmas. (Saving the best for last, Sunrise?) Speaking of Graham, tomorrow is his birthday! So, Happy Birthday Hamu-sama~!

Next, I got to go to A-Fest over the weekend! Funimation contacted me and wanted me to work the weekend, so I did. Even though things didn't go well the first time I did this, I had a lot of fun this time. I got to work with some awesome people, I got into the con for free, amongst other things. I got autographs from Johnny Yong Bosch (He signed my Geass Host Club poster.), Chuck Huber and J. Micheal Tatum signed one of my Keroro manga (I got to hear their takes on Kululu and Dororo last night! LOVE 'EM! Not to mention that the guys are freaking hilarious, themselves.); I also ran into Doug Smith (Kintaro from Golden Boy) in the Artist's Alley, so I bought a mousepad from him and he signed it for me. As for my other purchases, I bought: a Lloyd doujin (Very cute!), a Lancelot ignition key keychain, G00 pin set of the logos for the Union and HRL, talking chibi Setsuna and Tieria figurines, a fan-made pin set of the Meisters and Orange Haro, the mousepad, and one melon bread. All in all, it a lot of fun!

Moving on, I've been keeping up with the updates on the new Pokemon game today. I don't get why people are complaining about it, I think it still looks awesome. Is it just because the gym leaders aren't a challenge, because they've always been like that. Besides, Whitney's Miltank was a bitch to defeat, and I'm glad that they took it down a level. (I like a challenge, but not when it's almost impossible to overcome. And, yes, I know how hypocritical that sounds!)

Something funny that I noticed was one of the Rocket executives, the one named Lance. He's obviously going to get a name change in the English version, and I already have a good name picked out for him. Due to his similar character design to everyone's favorite Orange, he should be named Jeremiah! XD

Going from the game to the anime, I have a few other things to discuss. First, Kojiro's going to fill in for Musashi in the next contest. Animation Director Iwane, Kojilina, sick Musashi...it's a sure-fire recipe for epic! (And I'm really looking forward to tomorrow's Togepi episode.) Second, I noticed that some glasses guy is going to be in an upcoming episode. He looks kinda like Kouhei, but it isn't Kouhei. And he'd better not be some cheap Kouhei knock-off, because I'd be really upset if he was. Kouhei is Kouhei! THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE! (That guy had better show up again, soon. It's been over a year, now!)

Oh yeah! I'm still in the process of downloading it, but I'm getting the raw for last week's episode. So, I'll get a picsummary going ASAP! With that said, I'm out!
