It was only about two hours but I felt like so many songs got played, although despite that there were definitely a few I wanted to hear that didn't. I did notice my enthusiasm flagging some way through, partly because I'm not used to listening to a single artist for so long anymore and because standing for hours is no longer something I can do much of lol, so I thought I was Carlyed out after I left for the time being.

    But funny thing was when I was looking over the videos I took I realized that I wished I'd taken a little longer footage, and also that I really wanted to go se her again. So, whenever that happens again, hopefully sooner rather than later, I'm there

    Very cool. I haven't been to a concert myself in....oh, thirty years? Twenty-five? Something like that.

    Interesting about the more-songs-played. Seems like it had a solid impression on you as well! ^_^ Hopefully she'll go on tour another time soon and you can catch her again.

    Crazy coloring and patterns (yeah, mostly computer work, but it's still amazing), interesting take on the usual main character of these sorts of stories ('I know this story, I'm the villainess, but I'm going to go through the story differently this time!'), some pretty dark stuff, some very different characters...in general, good on a re-read as well.

    kingdom: a nice little mini-arc with spywork and political intrigue.

    Hajime no Ippo: That was a nice little look at Mashiba's past and how far he's come. Now he just needs to ask Miyata to be his sparring partner and give us all that awkwardness.

    Fairy Tail: 100 Year Quest: Fun chapter with lots of neat little jokes and good set up for the showdown portion of this arc. I'm really looking forward to spoilers:
    Jellal vs. God Serena
    end of spoilers

    For Knights of the Apocalypse: Aww, the titular heroes are already quite fond of each other. And we find out the source of Percival's powers (though more details are to come).

    Interesting, you think it's going to be Miyata?

    I figure this may lead into him calling on Ippo, who through his over-eager diligence to learn Southpaw becomes a switch-hitter.

    Might be projecting a bit though and seeing Mashiba's upcoming fight as a rewrite of Hagler vs Hearns.

    Ichigo: What even *are* you?!

    Kenpachi: Some say my mother was a train. Some say that I'm a rejected Godzilla monster too strong for the series canon. But everyone says: I'M THE KEEEEENPACHIIIIII!!!!

    I misremembered which characters are in-fighters and which are out-fighters. That combined with Mashiba's little dream had me thinking that a meeting between the two could be fun.

    But yeah, the description fits Ippo much better.

    ...Good God, even freakin' Matt "MUST SUFFER" Murdock gets a reprieve by allowing him to marry, yet the alleged golden child of Marvel can't even have a steady girlfriend? Un-freaking-believable.

    That's because Marvel's first command has changed to: "Peter Parker must be kind of a loser who we wish was still a teenager because most of us grew up with teenage to college age Spider-man, and while we acknowledge that he's been an adult man for ages now we don't really like it."

    ...just undo One More Day, re-marry Peter and MJ, have Ben Reilly not be an asshole so he can be your single Spider-man, have Miles as your teenage Spider-man, and keep Kaine as the edgey anti-hero Scarlet Spider. The pieces are all there for something great.

    joe quesada didn't like it. and that trickled down to the other editors.

    even stan, as antiquated as some of his ideas were, knew that peter had to grow up and be a proper spiderman.
