Il Canzoniere!

I didn't like Xenosaga that much.

I saw Tales of Earthsea the other day. It was better.

 Those are both pretty mediocre, man.  I'm not even sure you could call Xenosaga mediocre. If you want space opera that's not where to go.

Where would one go if one were looking for a mediocre Japanimanese space opera?

 I think Toward the Terra/ Terra E is perfect mediocre space opera. That's exactly what you'd want I figure.

If you want god-tier space opera, there is no better than Legend of Galactic Heroes.

I saw the 2 avaliable episodes of "TO".
The first one was above average. The second one had an stupid pacifist message that ruined it for me.
I think I'm starting to like digital animation more than traditional animation.

My problem with anime in general is the perenial 17 year old angry male that somehow always gets to be the main character.

Character development is nonexistant, and anime never fails to follow their own cliches.

I mean, in anime the sky is the limit. You don't have to pay for extras, or expensive special effects.
They are limited only by their imagination.
And time and again, they fail to do something original and outside their sub-genres.

And that pacifist thing really kills it for me. No to mention how many despit the military in a way the military is definitively not.
Just one tip: The military decission making process does not include getting angry. Cool and quiet professionals, my friend.

I just found around the corner from my new apt - a tea shop.

 So watch LOGH, siege. I think it has two teenage characters in a cast of over a hundred, and neither are major characters.

It treats the military with respect as well. In fact, the vast majority of the cast are sensible military men who ponder their obligations to the state.

The Ballad of Buckeye Football

Ohio State is in quite a pickle
The new coach is Luke Fickell
The Defense has some pluck
The Offense just plain sucks

Roses are red
violets are blue
Lettow can't get it up
unless it's over Yu-Gi-Oh

 I have finished another sonnet, this one an allusion to the Once and Future King.
