Super fun weekend with [livejournal.com profile] i_paint_the_sky. We wound up watching all of Princess Jellyfish. It's only eleven episodes, and it's so cute. Definitely recommend it for all the geeky anime girls on my flist. Someone made an anime about female geeks.

We also watched When Harry Met Sally. This is notable as previously I had only watched an old VHS where we wound up not so much watching the movie as listening to it, since we couldn't get the tracking fixed. :p

And as usual, we played the BSG board game. It's amazing what a difference not playing the game wrong makes! The humans wound up winning. Not easily, but we used the unadjusted distance to Kobol and still got there. It's a good thing I have still never been a Cylon, since by the end I was Admiral President Helo. :p

We also went costume shopping. I managed to find new boots for my Garnet costume, since I borrowed them from [livejournal.com profile] neekabe last time. I also went in with the vague idea it might be fun to do a casual Kaylee costume (also working on the layer cake :p). And walked out with...

I keep wanting to watch the stream, but crossing fingers FUnimation's going to do a dvd too- it's such a fun looking show! I wanna own it nowwwww :( The opening is very, very cute, what with the Mary Poppins, Star Wars and The Graduate references.

I also wish the manga would come out here, it's apparently won a lot of awards in Japan- I'm hoping either VIZ or Fantagraphics'll pick it up [Fantagraphics has started a shojo manga line, with big fancy hardcover volumes]

Checking amazon japan, looks like Vol.6 came out in November, so it looks to be ongoing..... it looks like Kodansha's the publisher, so hopefully it'll pop up under the Kodansha Comics label- they announced a bunch of licenses a month ago http://kodanshacomics.com/ and took over most of Del Rey Manga's titles [though DRM's staff is handling all their books- it's confusing, but means more manga :)]
