posting poll

[Poll #1035092]This is a curiosity(mine) poll, mostly.

First question won't affect how much I post about things except maybe to post more about something I don't post much on.

Second question is because I've been thinking about do a series of posts about various mythologies and am wondering what people would be most interested in.  The options, of course, are pretty generic as I haven't put a huge amount of thought into it, and I'm not even sure I'll do that yet, as there is a very high probability that I'll either never stop once I start, or will do a couple posts and then forget all about it.

Yoshitsune through ep 21

Sadly, it seems that they decided they had enough blatant fan service in the first handful of episodes and decided to tone it down.  Apparently I have to watch TAIYOU NO KISETSU if I want to mock the excessive fanservice.

Most of these episodes have been about Yoshitsune gathering his chief vassals (aka "The Boys") and fleeing Kyoto and living in Oshu(where he acquired half of The Boys) and then going to Izu to serve under his brother Yoritomo, who was a clever and likable kid and seemed good at first, but yeah, he's pretty much a jerk.  Doesn't deserve his brother OR his wife.  There's also a lot of other political stuff going on, but too much to get into(as a warning, the political narrative often overshadows Yoshitsune's narrative).  Love Kiyomori's wife and, of course, Abe Hiroshi's character.  Thankfully, he was able to grow and become more assertive and commanding quickly, because a meek Abe Hiroshi was very hard for my brain to process.

Dark Hunters: Seize the Night and Sins of the Night by Sherrilyn Kenyon

I have resumed reading the Dark Hunters books, the bastions of interesting if inconsistent mythology, emo overload, Mary Sue's and snarky immortals. Previous Dark Hunters posts can be found here and here.

manga I'm enjoying the most right now

A follow up to Saturday's post, just a list and short(extremely short) descriptions of the manga I'm enjoying the most right now.  Anything I've read all of is excluded.  There are several that will likely be on this list once I've read more than one volume.

( yet more manga babble )
