it's been too long since i've posted. far too long. so i'm just going to talk
|
||
|
about something i won't have to have as much actual textual content because i
|
||
|
have enough screencaps and pictures by now to get away with it. so apologies if
|
||
|
anyone is reading a text-only version of this. i do really recommend using a
|
||
|
feed reader that will allow you to read the post with the original css i
|
||
|
created for it (which is a living document, really, but i always do my best to
|
||
|
make sure i don't change something in ways that will smeg up older posts) and
|
||
|
images, or viewing it via a web browser (only really tested on firefox on my
|
||
|
machine, and a tiny bit of testing on a few android mobile devices, so your
|
||
|
mileage may vary).
|
||
|
|
||
|
already my intro is just boring and rambling. i must have really been itching
|
||
|
to write something.

|
||
|
|
||
|
oh smeg i lost my train of thought. i am sure i had something to say.
|
||
|
|
||
|
at least i thought i did. have a follow-up, i mean, or at least a good place to start.

i've been brooding over what to include in this post so much that my thoughts
|
||
|
and ideas don't have any particular order or topical consistency. so i'm going
|
||
|
to wing it. (like i've done for every other post i've written in this blog of
|
||
|
mine. imagine that.)
|
||
|
|
||
|
## why i think まちカドまぞく (yes that's how they spell it in the anime; see below) is so excellent
|
||
|

first, there's the obvious reason that it's very cute. and everyone knows cute
|
||
|
is the only true justice in the world. secondly, the humour was great (despite
|
||
|
the mediocre subtitles i had to work with). it was fast-paced, quick-witted
|
||
|
humour.

||

|
||
|
|
||
|
**this show could have flopped** ***so*** **easily**. but it ***didn't***. i
|
||
|
loved watching it as it came out recently and i enjoy re-watching it as well.
|
||
|
i'm out of stuff to say so i'll end with some more pictures (i fell asleep in
|
||
|
the middle of writing this).
