Anime update:

Naruto still rocks. Episode 94 and counting. We've been watching Naruto for almost two years now, and it just keeps getting better and better and better. I love the fact that Naruto is considered by and large to have absolutely no talent, and yet he keeps going anyway, and finds a way to overcome - a theme I find strangely comforting in my career as a law student. A popular series in Japan, spawning several video games and toys, a now available in English.

Also, I'm watching Samurai 7, an anime retelling of the Akira Kurosama film "Seven Samurai" (which was the basis for the most excellent Western epic, "The Magnificent Seven".) Incredible graphics, a great story, and a touch of sci-fi. (The bandits in this version are giant cyborgs).

Reeta and I are still waiting for a new episode of Aishiteruze Baby. Word is that is going to run 24 episodes, we're up to 16, so just eight eps left of cute Yuzuyu. This is the series that convinced me to experiment with making a new Japanese food for me - Onigiri! (I'm sure mine isn't as good as the real thing, but it's fun to make! And to eat!)

Just finished the fourth Last Exile DVD tonight, and by some strange coincidence, the fifth one comes out tomorrow. Heck yeah! Thank goodness for Netflix.

Still waiting for Gundam: SEED to catch up to where I was in the series. And waiting for the release of FullMetal Alchemist and Kenran Butoh Sai: Mars Daybreak. I need a well-paying lawyer job to support my anime and gaming habit! (And my family).
