Well if you didn't notice that I updated the links for our moderators on the rotation program then I'll simply mention it here. The next crew to help out for the next two months is:
Linden Rathan
redjacketalchemis
Sage of Magic
Shinmaru
I'm really pleased with how it worked out for the last two months. There were some unexpected developments, but that's part of why I think this kind of program works so well. If something comes up or if someone is unable to continue moderating, the rest of the crew keeps things running smoothly. They all did an excellent job. ^_^
Anyway, there wasn't much to the staff meeting last night. Just Adam fixing some issues with links not working properly and then switching the moderation crew over. Then I ended up watching the first six episodes from Ghost Hunt over at FUNimation's website for it.
Adam came into chat looking for screens from that show only to find out that Desbreko hasn't seen it. I got curious about it and took a look and ended up continuing to watch it, even though I am not a fan of ghost stories, at all. I don't believe in that kind of stuff so I tend to find it rather boring.
So what got me to watch six episodes in a row and has me planning on watching even more? This right here:
That's right, the music. o_O I got sucked in by the Opening and the Ending is really pretty too. And to make it worse, I think the way the music is done throughout the show, supports it really well too.
It also helps that I like the main character, Kazuya Shibuya, quite a bit.
Mainly because so far they have his character being the type to completely research a potential 'haunting' and combining it with actual science in addition to all of those 'mythos' about ghosts that I don't believe in. Some of the 'science' isn't real either, I just like the more intellectual approach to dealing with ghosts. It makes it fun to watch.
There are some downsides of course, there is one 'Aussie' accent that I don't care for, even though I don't mind the character and I still cringe at some of the obvious ghost stuff and rituals to get rid of them parts. But so far it's at a ratio of 80% like on account of characters and the scientific angle and 20% don't like for ghost stuff and annoying accents.
And then you go and toss in the music... which I want to get already... And I'm kind of sunk. If it continues along the same vein, I'm going to end up watching the entire thing. And now that I was up way too late watching it, I'm off to get some sleep.
