Managed to catch the first episode of Katsuhiro Otomo’s new work, Freedom.

It. Rawks.

We actually saw ads of this OVA playing while we were in Japan in November, and it looked pretty good to me. Of course, the character designs were basically re-cycled from Akira, but what the hey ~ it’s been years since that grand-daddy of anime goodness was drawn.

Go watch it. In DVD (or better yet, HD!) if you can get your hands on it. It’s too pretty to be seen in any other format.

Sword Work
Second practice today ~ and I’m in pain again. It’s been so long since I’ve done any martial arts, that I’m not in any condition for it. That said, the pain is not as bad as it felt last week. Oh well ~ more sweat = less pain.

I also bought a waster to use at practice, not to mention personal practice at home (when I’m in better shape …). Pictures when I get around to it. Can’t wait to get to the level when I can start using a steel sword!

Speaking of training, a friend of mine who started together with me was complaining of the pain as well. The reply from me was, “You need more conditioning”.

The retort from another (gamer) friend was, “You need more XP!”

Need XP!

XD XD XD

Ouch. I think I’ll go collapse somewhere now.
