Some of you might remember me making a post a few months ago about the possibility of me starting a review blog for anime/manga. I originally decided against it when only two people showed interest in it, but the desire to write reviews never really fully disappeared. So, as one of my New Year's resolutions, I've decided that whenever I read through a complete manga series (new or old), I'll write a review about it. (Thanks to Netflix, I watch too many series for this to be a realistic goal for anime, but who knows? I may write a few anime reviews here and there as well.) It's possible I'll eventually branch these off into a separate journal, but for now, I'll just post them here (and maybe my website).

First up is Night of the Beasts

(Note: Possible spoilers, although I tried not to spoil anything major beyond the second volume (unless you consider some characters' names to be spoilers). Also, the "score" uses the MyAnimeList.net 1-10 rating system.)

"Night of the Beasts" Review )

Whee!

I just got finished ordering the super-cheap Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo boxset I've been eyeing at Right Stuf for the past couple of months. When I saw it was down to ten of them left in stock, I was like, "Oh, no, you're not going to slip out of my fingers this time, my pretty! I'm armed with a Visa gift card, and I'm not afraid to use it." *laughs* I was also really tempted to get the Suzuka boxset, which they were selling for $17 and only had four left in stock, but I realized I probably only wanted it because it was so cheap, so I passed. (Now watch me make a post after it sells out about how much I want it now that it's gone. That seems to be my MO...) Instead, I ordered All My Darling Daughters (a josei manga of one-shots), all six volumes of Night of the Beasts (a series by Chika Shiomi, mangaka of Yurara and Rasetsu, who I'm liking more and more), and a cute Misa (from Death Note) keychain.
