So, what's everyone been watching lately? On television, in theaters, wherever. So, quick question, but I'll start first: Mahou Shojou Madoka Magica. It's a new magical girl series by studio SHAFT. It's their first original series, and it's directed by their star director Shinbo, who made such things as Petite Cosette, Tsukuyomi: Moon Phase, Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei and others. It's... well... okay, it's a serious deconstruction of the entire genre. I want to explain what happens, but anything other than "oh, it's a magical girl anime!" is a serious spoiler. It's written by the guy who wrote Saya no Uta, if that's a hint. Breaking Bad: This show is great! Starring the actor who played the father from Malcolm in the Middle, it's about a high school chemistry teacher who decides, after he's had enough, plus a terminal lung cancer diagnosis, that he's going to go out and just cook meth. And it's great. He's a villain. He's THE villain. But he's still a great protagonist. |

Hyakka Ryouran Samurai Girls seems to be my anime/show of choice recently. Art style makes it look like an anime that's also calligraphy and it looks awesome as a result. Music is pretty good too. Oh and it has the whole story thing. |

I don't watch much TV these days, but I just finished Supernatural season 5 on DVD. The last movie I saw was The Troll Hunter, a mockumentary about trolls. Rather cool, and one of few Norwegian productions I think I can recommend to others. I haven't seen any animé for ages. The last animated full length I saw was The Secret of Kells, which I can recommend lots! |

Pawn Stars. I dunno why but it's actually more interesting than I expected. That and I really enjoy watching all the interactions between the Harrisons and their customers, plus finding out all these historical facts. Very educational yet funny, a rare combination for me and hence it has my attention.

I haven't been watching much T.V. lately either (other than an episode of "House, MD" that I watched yesterday with my folks), but I have been watching a lot of shows on DVD. Two of my favorite and most-watched are :"Burn Notice" and "Mythbusters" (which I love to watch at least as much to see a lot of shit crash, smash, and go 'boom' in really cool ways as I do for the actual myth-busting). I don't own the DVD's (yet), but I do rent 'em a lot when I manage to make it to the library, and I make sure to catch them on T.V. whenever I see that they're on. "Stargate SG-1" is another fav. I haven't been watching it as much lately, but I still consider it among my list of favorites. The spin-off "Stargate Atlantis" wasn't bad, but I thought the original was a hell of a lot better. "Stargate Universe"...not so good. |

Wish they would get back to showing Mythbusters again. |
