Saki is an interesting show. Even though I'm a year or two late, but only with the anime, as the manga is currently on-going! I'd seen it described as "lesbians playing mahjong", and, well, lesbians playing mahjong. I don't even know anything about the game itself; the only "mahjong" I know is an old single-player PC game involving matching tile pairs.
Still, lesbians playing mahjong. Lesbians playing mahjong with MAHJONG SUPERPOWERS. Most of which would normally be called cheating. Especially Momoko. The way the series goes completely over-the-top and super-serious over mahjong reminds me of other similar things, like Yu-gi-oh, but is very entertaining. Also, almost everyone is a lesbian. Now I get to read a bunch of yuri doujins. Ume Aoki even did one!
An infestation of some sort of small insect has broken out in a small hall area near my cubicle at work. I think I'm the only one that's noticed so far since they blend in with the generic office carpet so well. They stay on the carpet and haven't penetrated into my cubicle or threatened my Pop-Tarts, so I have been so far content to simply watch them mill about and get stepped on by passing traffic.
Pokemon Black/White is really curious. I wonder if it was meant to be a 3DS game, as it probably should have been anyways, but got kicked out early to be the last breath of the DS. They've made countless small improvements everywhere, in places you wouldn't even think to look, but there's a number of omissions that are really glaring; namely the loss of the 'L = A' control option, loss of Auto-run, and that they still haven't brought back the Poketch from Diamond/Pearl. The C-Gear is a neat idea, basically mimicking some of the 'social' functions of the 3DS, except it's also one of those things that you can really only take advantage of by living in Japan. Like the 3DS's social functions or Monster Hunter's multiplayer.
I like a bunch of the new Pokes, though. They've actually managed to finally break Psychic's dominance, too, at least until they let you import old Pokes, by giving pretty everything an anti-Psychic attack or four. The plot of the game is a lot better than previous games, with the gym leaders actually being pretty active and doing more than being holed up in their gyms being a cool thing. Also, so far the information the game is presenting is staying with my theory that the Pokemon World is actually a mostly-recovered post-apocalyptic Earth.
B/W are also easily the gayest Pokemon games ever. Yuri Goggles are finding things everywhere! Though, sadly, the game has exited Autumn, which means my FeMC can't go on ferris wheel dates with Waitress Aurora anymore.
Suite Precure doesn't have the strong plot or good fight scenes that Heartcatch did, but dear God it is so full of yuri. It was particularly amusing to watch Siren catch the gay in the most recent episode, too.
Also I just preordered an action figure of a character from a show I haven't yet watched. An action figure of an arm.
More pictures after the cut!
