I'll go with the overload theory. I'll try again tomorrow. If it doesn't work then, then I seriously have a problem.

EDIT: It's definitely the overload theory. I was able to download something else and it was done it 2 seconds flat.

Okay, so after technical difficulties yesterday, I've caught up with Phil.

~~~

So, High School of the Dead Ep. 2. We meet Saya Takagi, Kohta Hirano, Saeko Busujima, and the school nurse, Shizuka Marikawa. Kohta is total badass (although he is a little sweet towards Saya), he turned a nail gun into a fucking rifle. Saya did some killing too (although it was self-defense, then again all killings of zombies can be considered self-defense). Shizuka, oh goodness, this is going to be a love-hate relationship for me. In spite of all this, she cares more about her goddamn skirt that trying to live. But as least she isn't as ditzy as I thought she was. And to my relief, Phil was right, she's not a fucking retard (then again I don't think they allow retards to be school nurses).

~~~

Final opinion: same as last episode: FUCKING AWESOME.

Why? 1.) Killing zombies, 2.) improvised weapons (I seriously need to learn how to make my own gun), 3.) Saya's panty shot (usually I don't comment on this), and (kill me...) 4.) four girls with huge bosoms in which three can kick major ass=awesomeness (auuugh, just shoot me god! nah, jk).

I don't have any major complaints on this episode. Just the minor "you are so fucking retarded, reporter chick, you don't stand in the middle of a zombie apocalypse!" rationale at the post-credits scene.

Hurry up and make the third episode! I WANT TO SEE MORE KILLING!!!

Saya panty shot got to you? Heh. She's my favorite. She might not kick as much ass as Saeko or Rei, but she's tsundere and looks good in glasses.

I like that all the girls are rather busty. it makes things pretty exciting.

Yeah, it's weird, isn't it? I don't like commenting on that due to my protective nature towards girls. But yeah, very surprising for me.

And now I'm wondering why I'm not trying to commit sepukku for liking big-breasted girls. I mean, doesn't that go against my thoughts and beliefs or am I just acting weird again?

I can't really tell. Admitting I find girls sexy is natural to me.

I watched a lot of summer anime today.

First High School of the Dead 3. Good episode. Lots of fun stuff. Shizuka getting mad is wondefully adorable. Shidou came off as even more vile a character than I recall from the anime. I was delighted to see they left the gas station scene which shows a character who looks remarkably similar to Simon Pegg in Shaun of the Dead. I was curious as to whether they'd keep that. But yeah, lots of explosions and stuff. Good as usual.

I then watched the third ep of Occult Academy, curious to what I'd find. It remains a hard show to place. It never loses its comedic charm though, even if this episode lacked much of the creepiness and horror elements of the first two episodes. The focus was more on character development of the male leave. He's a kind of likable guy, I suppose, even if I prefer when the focus is on Maya. Eager to have the cliffhanger at the end resolved.

Shiki episode 2 was interesting. The show, in its morbid fascination with death is kind of jarring in a lot of ways. There's something deeply unsettling about most of the characters, especially the younger cast. I'm not sure he was in the first episode long at all, but the second episode places a sort of aloof town doctor as the lead character as he tries to solve the mystery of the string of local deaths, and I think he's doing pretty good in the job. There's something very intriguing abotu this show and I want more of it.

Legend of Legendary Heroes is a lot less intriguing after two more episodes. That's nto to say its bad. There's just something kind of average about the whole thing at this point. Except Farris and her loli sister. They make the show whenever they're on the screen. it's too bad they weren't in episode 2 or 3, both part of a flashback arc, mostly focusing on the male leads, the young bishounen king and the mage with scary monster powers. The show can be very intense and violent at times for this sort of fantasy, but it's attractive to look at. It just isn't as charming by in large as my other picks for the season.

Sekirei ~ Pure Engagement is charming though. Two episodes of the show really flew by. I watched the original series and didn't absolutely love it. It was a harem show made bearable by most of the girls having wonderfully large breasts and cool powers that made for cool battles. I find myself somehow enjoying the sequel now on a level I don't believe I ever enjoyed the original. Minato and the harem elements are really outweighed by the interesting cast of beautiful females. The episodes I watched today featured Kazehana being formally admitted into Minato's harem. I really love her. She might actually be my favorite of his Sekirei, which might seem odd concerning there's a loli and a tsundere in there. But really it was just a lot of fun. I don't remember Haihane being such a hilarious character (do remember her being hot though).

And of course I'm going to like Strike Witches 2, of which I watched 2 more episodes. The fight scene in episode 2 was absolutely exhilarating and seeing the characters reassemble together made me wonderfully excited. Episode 3 was some cute fun, with Lynne, Perine and Yoshika doing some training with an old fashioned sort of witch. Both were a real delight.

Wow, that's a lot of stuff. As HOTD is the only summer anime that only applies to me, I'm interested to see Shizuka getting mad, should be funny.

Oh, and disregard my pm on the RP forum, I already found the Meagupload of it and its starting now.

RIght, so High School of the Dead Ep. 3:

~~~

Okay, so the episode is pretty much over.

I did not expect Mr. Shido to be a handsome teacher, I thought he was going to be a fat, old, bald guy. Nevertheless, he's the non-zombie villian so I will treat him as such and hope he fucking dies. Nothing more significant happened really, they just got to kill more zombies, zombies kill more of them, Mr. Shido is going to die, Ms. Shizuka was pretty badass, Mr. Shido is going to die, the students the group saved are just plain stupid, according to the next episode, Rei might be raped (which will never happen since Takashi will beat the shit out of him. Oh, and Mr. Shido is going to die.

~~~

Final Opinion: EXCELLENT

It's only a step down from fucking awesome, but the reason is that the killings are starting to get a little repetitive (although Shizuka running over zombies and yelling at the assholes was pretty refreshing, she just might become my favorite ditzy character after all). Also, Mr. Shido: what a fucking prick. Yeah, I know its the end of the world, but have you heard of the term: "No one gets left behind?" He would be shot dead if he tried that on a U.S. soldier (or any soldier for that matter).

Well, I look forward to the next episode. Rei better not get raped or I'm not going to watch this ever again (jk, I'll just be pissed that's all).

He's going to fucking die, right?
