Well, today started out as a happy day as today was the day that the first episode of Shin Mazinger would air in Japan and hopefully would be available raw on teh internets soon after. So, I was excited. I wanted my work day to go fast so I could get home and watch the new show. Then, the power went out at work but came back within seconds. I was disappointed because I wanted an excuse to leave work early but... Nope. Power came back. Had to keep working. So I did. Then during my lunch break, I get a call from ~StaciNadia telling me that my computer is acting strangely. Turns out that the black out hit the house too. Well, now my computer is making a mysterious and extremely loud buzzing noise. It still works. Internet works and everything. But now it won't stop buzzing. ~StaciNadia thinks it's the A: drive. I disconnected it in the BIOS but that didn't do anything. Next step is to open her up and pray it's something easy. Anyway, just in case something happens, know that if I don't answer any more messages or post anything--then something probably happened to my computer.

But, thanks to the miracle of headphones I DID see Shin Mazinger and...! And it's a confused pile of Mazingerness! It's like.... Like a clip show of the ENTIRE series and a bit of Great and Z Mazinger crammed into 20 minutes! It was dramatic, well animated, had excellent music direction, and features so MANY familiar faces, you might even see some of your own family in there! Hell, Boss even got to be REALLY bad ass for once! XD However... Without subtitles, I have absolutely NO idea what I just watched or how any of it relates together! I wanna say more but I don't want to spoil people... But I have no one to share this info with right now either! ;_; Gah! I'm going to explode!

Er.. Anyway.. I'm going to open up the this hulk now and pray I can fix it. Cross your fingers and hope I make it back... ^^;

Update!

All fixed! It was INDEED the A: drive and simply pulling out the interface and power cables killed the noise. But I'm still out a disk drive... >_<

Well, whatever you did, the buzzing thankfully stopped! Now I can work in OpenCanvas again! Hurray!

I opened it and pulled the power and interface cable from the A: drive and that stopped the buzzing so... Seems I need a new floppy drive for this crate... :\

It was EXTREMELY exciting! But I'll warn you now--it was very confusing without subtitle for me and I'm a seasoned fan so as someone not familiar with the basic characters and plot of the original series, you WILL be lost! But it WILL look and sound GREAT while you wonder what the hell you're watching! XD

Heehee, I know what it's like when you want to sit and babble about something, but no one else has seen it.

Yup. Of course it's worse when not only have they not seen it, they don't care either. :p I have that problem a lot. Of caring about shows no one else does. XD

Someone on a message board put it best by calling it an "extended teaser trailer" for the rest of the series. I'd call it an Extended Teaser Trailer As Opera. XD The direction of the animation and music was just too good to call it anything else! XD

But yeah. FULL of awesome! And since this is Go Nagai, we're talking about, there should at least be ONE episode full of big bouncing boobs at some point! XD

Sorry I can't really help you out. I generally don't like anime very much at all, but I'm a manga junkie. So in a way it's still pretty much the same; there's a lot of people who prefer anime to manga all across the board. Plebeians I say!

Eh, I'm fine with both. My problem is that most anime fans won't touch science fiction with a ten foot pole so publishers don't localize as much of it as they used to so it's hard to just find stuff to watch! That's why I'm so excited by this new series because it's the epic return of one of my favorite Super Robots to television, something the Japanese TV landscape seriously needs right now (and by extension, America, now that Gurren Lagann's over. :p)!
