Hi there,

     I was still under the weather and slept most of the day.  I still was able to watch a few shows.
The first show was "Problem Children are Coming From Another World, Aren't They?" Episode 2: Seems like a Crazy Loli in Japanese Clothing"

I had watched episode 1 previously to this blog and thought the series was interesting enough.  A strange half girl/half rabbit named "Black Rabbit"  brings three humans with special abilities to this place called Little Garden where people play games for prizes.  The humans think it's interesting and decided to stay. 
     In Episode 2, we learn that Black Rabbit is part of a group called the No Names, they lost their name and banner when they lost a prize game against a demon lord.  Now they have the crappiest land and not many people to play in the games.  I have a feeling where this show will be heading but as long as they keep it interesting, I'll hang in there.  It appears that maybe they will be giving us a little of the characters backgrounds each episode.  In this one we learned a bit about Kasukabe You as she tried to ride a Griffin for a prize game challenge.

     I also started a series that I have wanted to start for a while now, Sword Art Online.  I wanted to start this because the opening song is done by the singer liSA, who I am a fan.  It was a rare case where I came across a concert of hers on youtube and liked her singing and energy.  This led me to Angel Beats where she did most of the music for that series and even performed concerts as "Girls Dead Monster starring liSA."



 

   I liked the first two episodes although the premise has been done to death.  The game seems similar to the one that "She" plays that her bf "Poketto" got her into, but anyways.  I have a few questions about the series because in episode 2, the characters say that they have been in the game for a month and 2000 people have died.  A month? and the government hasn't stopped this and haven't brought the creator or the game company on charges and released the players?  I would find that hard to believe in real life.  Also, after a month, wouldn't the players physical bodies break down without proper nutrition? Hopefully, that will be addressed.

Have a good day!
