Been kinda slow here in the past few days, so thought I'd write in with 
my recent anime exploits. I was fortunate enough to find an anime club on 
campus where I get to see a wide variety of fansubs every Sunday 
afternoon. Yay for me! So anyway, this is what I saw.

Those Who Hunt Elves 1-2
This one was pretty good. I'm definitely looking forward to future 
episodes.

Slayers Next 2-3
I'm a big Slayers fan, so it was nice to see some new episodes. Well, new 
for me at least. ^_^

Magical Project S 1-2
Heh. This one was so cute that it made Sailor Moon look like Akira in 
comparison. Not that it was bad, just surprised the hell out of me. ^_^ 
The second episode got lots of laughs after the CD Love-Love Monster 
showed up.

Gundam Wing 30-31
Hell yea. This got me ready for Gundam's upcoming appearance on Cartoon 
Network in March. On Toonami the episodes will be censored slightly, but 
every Saturday night at Midnight, CN will be showing two unedited 
episodes. Sounds grand. Too bad this tape was really bad quality. Third 
or fourth generation tape at least.

Steam Detectives 1-2
I had never heard of this series, but it was pretty good. It reminded me 
of Sakura Wars with all it's steam references and neat mech designs.

You're Under Arrest
Finally, a real Fujishima reference. I'm not sure the numbers of the 
episodes we watched. It was the ones with the Superintendent from Hell 
and Strikeman. The Strikeman one was hilarious. Now I need to go find the 
manga series Darkhorse put out a few years ago.

I also saw Sakura Wars a little while ago. It was pretty good, but it 
seemed too rushed. They tried to fit way too much into only two tapes. On 
the plus side, the music was pretty good and I thought the dubbing was 
pretty grand as well. Of course, I'll like any dubbing that's better than 
a bad B-movie.
