Plans

Plans for the future . . . what? You think I'm gonna disclose my life plans? Ha! I know no one's interested in reading about my plans for what I do in the real world. So instead, I'll detail plans about mindless diversions.

Soon, I will purchase Tales of Vesperia for my 360. I need something other than licensed videogames, ya know.

When the second half of Death Note comes out in a box set, expect me to buy that. And if Kyoto Animation ever puts out more seasons of the Haruhi anime, (and assuming it gets released here in America also), I will buy that. Also, when Ponyo on the Cliff gets released on video in the States, I may rent it, and probably buy it if it is buy-worthy.

There's a lot of manga volumes I still want. Too many to list.

Season 4 of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Man, this is boring. Hey, I know! I'll talk about Sailor Moon some more!

That essay I pointed out said that the author would like to see a new anime series of Sailor Moon, one that is very close to the original manga. I too would like to see that, too. Why? Here's why: (note: because I haven't read that much of the manga, some of this information is derived from Wikipedia, and may not be wholly accurate.):

-Well for one thing, there would be no sexist overtones. Usagi and Minako wouldn't be ditzy dumb blondes, for example.

-Tuxedo Kamen wouldn't throw roses, because he doesn't need to throw stupid roses! Seriously, what kind of lameass power is that to have as a superhero, anyways? He never throws roses in the manga.

-Chibiusa would be much less annoying, and much more competent as a Sailor Senshi.

-Rei and the Outer Senshi wouldn't be cold, aloof, mean chicks.

-NO FUCKING TRANSFORMATION SEQUENCES! In the manga, all they do to transform is hold up their pen, say, "[planet] Prism Power MAKE UP!", there's a bright flash, and then they're in uniform. That's it. None of this sexual fanservice bullshit.

-Please, please, PLEASE at least have competent animation. There's a reason I chuckled when Serena said, "I love low-budget anime!" in Sailor Moon Abridged.

-It would have far fewer episodes that the old anime, since the manga moves at a faster pace. No more than 50 episodes should be made.

Also, there are some scenes in the manga that could be expanded upon. Like perhaps have more dialogue in some scenes that could benefit from that.

Oh, and also, release the redone SM manga in English, and unflopped while you're at it. Thank you.
