3/4

Bleach Ep. 24 - So, apparently cannonballin' over is harder than it seems because of small thing called a force-field. The solution? Using your spirit energy to make a small ball force-field to punch though that force-field and enter the city so that they can save Rukia. Ok, seems easy...unless you're Ichigo and you don't know jack squat on using your spirit energy. At least he got it in the end, and everyone is set for lift-off. Either than that, there's some weird conspiracy forming between all the people who are involved in each Squad...and I can't tell what it is right now, because it's deeper than what you think it would be...

Eureka seveN Ep. 43 - Hey, what the hell are Eureka, Renton, and the kids doing? I thought they were supposed to go save humanity, not to go on some tropical vacation. But hell, they don't know what to do. I wouldn't know what to do...they knew how to do everything to reached the Promised Land, but not what to do once they reached the Promised Land. Meanwhile, back on top the Gekko crew have a new plan to kick some, taking the battle to space and landing Holland a new ride called the **bleep** **bleep**. And Dominic tries to get some from Anemone...but gets rejected badly. Then Anemone goes ballin' with Dewey, while Dominic is sent to Warsaw to find a replacement for Anemone. Speaking of Dewey, now we all know why he's a douchebag. Come on, you got rejected - by the land, of all things - for killing your own father. Did you think that what you did would be the equilizer? I bet you that Holland gave you a few encouraging words when your house got torn down...more like "Thanks a lot, fuck you."

Eiken - So, with Ep. 24 of Bleach airing, we see a small glimpse of Matsuomoto, a character that makes Orihime look small in comparision. That, along with Kuukaku and Orihime herself, we got some stacked girls. I kind of jumped the gun with the "Eiken > Bleach" thread, in which I point out that if you think they were stacked, go watch Eiken. Yes, Eiken's girls put everyone else in all anime (I think) to shame, and yes the story is that bad, but I thought there would threads on "ZOMG [insert Bleach character's name here]!!!" All that thread was was a rebuttal for any argument that would arise from these episodes. Maybe I should bring this back when more Bleach gals enter the picture.

March Madness - I can sense Selection Sunday coming...in a week. Yes, it's that time of year again - March Madness. A time when everyone in America stops doing everything and huddle around the TV/Computer, pulling out all those brackets and putting a ton of red ink on your paper. I've already created an [as] Tournament Pick 'Em group, can you find that thread - as well as a link to the site itself - in my sig. The only problem is that I'll be at a convention that Sunday, and prior to that Sunday I've always been home, watching the Selection Show, inking in all the teams in each bracket, then hanging it somewhere so that I can update it after each day of action. I will put an analysis of the seeding next week.
