Having spent the last couple of weeks watching 93 episodes of Cardcaptor Sakura I felt that it was time to watch something with rather less 'cute' in it, cute is good, but too much of it can be dangerous . So I've started watching Charlotte. From the various reviews and comments I'd seen about this series I wasn't sure what to expect and a story about the activities of a Student Council of a special school whose sole purpose is to protect people with psi powers from being used as laboratory specimens by the scientific community is certainly unusual. I found the story to be a bit slow to start, but after the second episode it picked up the pace and got into the story. The storyline has a good mix of humour and serious drama and it'll be interesting to see how it progresses. (As an aside, I think this is the first series I've watched where a female character gets a serious nosebleed!)

WOW!! The finished drawing looks absolutely amazing, thanks for sharing your creative talent with us.

I've just finished rewatching Cardcaptor Sakura Clear Card. I enjoyed the series much more second time round. The series has a rather more serious tone than the original series, but as Sakura and her friends are now teenagers in their first year of middle school so they'd be expected to have a slightly more adult outlook on life. The storyline of the series itself is rather more serious because this time Sakura is not just capturing cards or changing them from Clow Cards to Sakura Cards, she's creating new cards and this puts her and Syaoran in danger because other people are interested in the new cards for their own purposes. So far there are only 22 episodes available, but it's been announced that the series will be continued.

That sounds dire, you have my sympathies. Summer school sounds like a contradiction. Indeed I don't think that the words "summer" and "school" have any business being in the same sentence.

Oh, yes indeed. One should never underestimate the power of the twin-tail.

I've now finished rewatching the original series of Cardcaptor Sakura and started on rewatching Clear Card, which I'm finding to be much better second time around.

The size of that heat sink is crazy. As GPU power, and heat, increases there soon won't be room inside the computer case for the heat sink !

An interesting project. I've never commissioned a model of a character, but I do have several commercially produced ones. It might be my imagination, but in the last photo he doesn't look too happy about being dressed in a sailor suit and panda slippers.

Welcome aboard, you're among your fellow anime fans here so make yourself at home..

I had a couple of good laughs at those two, they appeal to my sense of humour . Although I must admit that it took me a couple of seconds to work out the second one .

I don't like windy weather, it makes it difficult to keep my hat on and my bag keeps getting blown off my shoulder. It also tends to spoil the sound on my videos.

Thanks. It's a cool looking sleeping bag. "...bait your hook with shark merch" is a good line, I must remember that when I'm asked to do something (with an appropriate change to the sort of merch). I found a couple of other clips, it looks an interesting series, but not quite my style .

While I can relate, in a way, to that question, I feel that it's being said in a slightly sarcastic way. I'm also sure there is an interesting story behind why a girl is lying on the floor dressed in a shark costume.

Looking good. The forecast for the next few days is sunny, no rain and around 20c.

Thank you. It's a Bank Holiday Monday here and it's not raining and the sun is shining, which is most unusual for an English Bank Holiday.

I'm currently reading Insomniacs After School
