Personal Update 10-16-12

  Just wanted to do a short update on what I've been doing and what I've been watching over the past week or so.  I've not really been playing much video games as of late, the last few things I played were Resident Evil 6 and Dynasty Warriors 7. Both fun games, Dynasty Warriors being more of a time killer for me; Resident Evil 6 is absolutely great, I've enjoyed every bit of the story so far.

  I've definitely put a lot more hours into anime than video games. I'm currently watching three shows simultaneously; Sword Art Online, Eureka Seven, and The Knight in the Area.   

  Sword Art Online is a simulcast so I'm watching the episodes as they come out. Really enjoying this show so far, I'm fifteen episodes in. I don't want to give too much opinion on it (since I'm writing a review) but besides a few quirks and a couple plot problems, that they have plenty of time to fix, it's quite an enjoyable show to this point.

  Eureka Seven almost lost me completely a couple times.  I'm halfway through the fifty episodes right now and the show seems to be getting stronger as it goes.  At first I hated the main character, but he seems to have come around.  In short, Eureka Seven looks to be very promising.

  The Knight in the Area is a sports anime, focusing on soccer.  The soccer matches themselves are great and fun to watch, though a little drawn out over episodes at times.  My main problem with this show right now is the characters.  They lack a lot of the necessary components of great leading characters. I'm a little over halfway done and I find myself only half paying attention, maybe it will fix itself but I fear it's too far gone.
