Hi all, back to work. Nose to the grindstone and all that.

Truthfully, the biggest thing to happen to me lately was watching Princess Jellyfish (Kuragehime). Great fun. I found that I couldn't stop thinking about it -- something about Tsukimi was so compelling that I had to see what she'd do next. (I have to admit, her housemates didn't do much for me, but I think that's one of the sacrifices they make to get it into 11 episodes.)

It was really charming, and I think Tsukimi kind of approaches the absolute ideal of what "moe" means to serious otaku. She's likeable but comprehensible, limited in ways that we can understand.

(This post is unabashed fluff. AX starts tomorrow. For some, it's started already.)
