Wheeeeeee!

Zipwire was fabulous.

It started at the top of the stalls at one side of Manchester City's stadium, and ended half way up the bottom tier of seats on the other side. It hardly lasted any time at all, but was brilliant. Except they wouldn't let me go again. And my Whee!Adrenaline! threshold has increased so it was just fun & not scary.

Then, since I was nearer the city centre than usual, I had tea & toast in Cafe Pop until Forbidden Planet opened, then bimbled around their manga section for a while. They currently have a 3 £6.99 books for £15 deal. It's a good thing I'm broke atm, or I'd have ended up investigating several new series, and that isn't including the ones I *know* I want to try* but where the first volume wasn't in stock.

Has anyone heard of ES (Eternal Sabbath)? Godchild? Angel Sanctuary? Death Note? X/1999?

Anyway, I ended up with vols 6-8 of Descendants of Darkness. The plan was to spread them out until I go to Whitby, but they're rather more addictive that I'd expected. Nor did I expect to find myself thoroughly flabbergasted at some of the comments & asides. Everyone else needs to read these, right now so I can have incoherent OMGWTF conversations about them.

I'd like to know why FP won't order specific volumes in (apparently, they get what they're sent & have no say in the matter).


And for no reason other than it's gorgeous, have a cat via [livejournal.com profile] ladynaberrie.



*Saiyuki and Full Metal Alchemist, mainly. I forget the others until I see them written down.

I finished Weiss Kreuz (Kapitel) last night. Wah! Consequently, I've just been out scouring the shops of Stockport for anime. [livejournal.com profile] moony, I remember you recommending Cowboy Bebop as a Firefly equivalent, and Inu Yasha, but what else? What was the one where the wonderful bad guy dies?

Anyone else have any suggestions? What I liked about WK was the style of the characters - they were drawn as (admittedly gorgeous) adults, not excessively "cute" kids. Oh, and the uncertain moral standards certainly helped. There's nothing worse than good=beautiful and evil=grotesque to make me lose all interest. Give me good=tortured-angst and evil=just-a-different-point-of-view any day. With good cheekbones.
Largely because of this post, I'm tempted to try Yami No Matsuei. Anyone ever read / seen it?

ETA: Ok; I've now seen episode 1 of YNM. More preferences appear to be: Guns good, cars good, gore & general violence./;;;;lioklllllllllll good, humans (or dead humans) good. Cute animals bad, cute chicken librarians Very Bad, dragons baffling. Cats on keyboards irritating and fuzzy.

Anyway )
