Quite enjoyed Appleseed Ex-Machina. Then again, we saw the Japanese (subtitled) version, rather than the dubbed English version, which is always an improvement when watching anime. Well worth catching whilst the Anime Festival is on at the Palace-Nova. Then again I've also been a long time fan of Masamune Shirow and his works. Now I'm just miffed that there is no readily available image of Yoshino (the CEO of Poseidon Industries) to convert into a convenient icon, and I'll have to wait until September to do a screen capture. I'm in icon love. Meanwhile Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog has fixed it's problem with non-US viewers (who apparently got fairly irate that they couldn't watch it because of IP filtering software), only to encounter the problem of overload from too many people wanting to see it at once. Can't win on the roundabouts and can't win on the swings. So it's off to the slides for me. I'm told it's good by several disreputable sources. And Sanguine have finally released a new Jadeclaw supplement: Loot the Burning House. Available via Lulu as either a POD or PDF. In case anyone hasn't realised I really like the Ironclaw/Jadeclaw system for mid-level (neither completely realistic nor completely high fantasy) fantasy campaigns (essentially replacing 2nd ed Runequest in my heart).
