Whatcha watchin'?

[Kim]

Because I'm watching several things and it's much more convenient to just post in one thread for all of them instead of posting in their individual threads or starting new ones for each one that doesn't have a thread already.

So I just finished all the available episodes of new Doctor Who. Waters of Mars was amazing, and my only complaint is I think he should have failed to save all of them because he can't beat time or something...

The End of Time was watchable, but hardly worthy of being Tennant's last episode. Also, they should have kept Gallifrey and the Daleks and everything else free somehow so that Moffat could pretty much just use whatever he wanted from the original series and whatnot, rather than having to come up with a nonsense reason for how the Daleks are back yet again.

I'm two episodes into Katanagatari and loving it. The episodes are each an hour long, which is awesome, the art style is nifty, and the ending theme has a bitchin' violin. The villain in the first episode is annoying, but other than that I have no real complaints. The plot is about a master of a swordless style and a strategest for the emperor collecting twelve legendary swords, and it looks like they'll maintain a pace of a sword an episode, so the plot isn't chugging slowly along. I also like the fact that they cut out the whole bullshit of "ARE THEY GONNA END UP TOGETHER" by having them decide they're in love with each other in the first episode.

Durarara!! continues to be simply great, and I'm loving the characters. Selty has a lot more personality than I expected she would. I really don't have much to say about it because it is that good. Anything I said would be stating the obvious.

I am also watching the second season of Junjou Romantica. The art style kind of bugs me in that the characters' lips are huge and whenever they yell their mouths are trapezoids. I also grow weary at times at some of the characters for being such terrible boyfriends to other characters, Misaki being especially guilty of this, but I like it. It's strangely addictive, funny, and I gotta love how pretty much any relationship problem in the show at some point is resolved through gay sex.
